Are there any justifications for the concept of quantum leaping? What happends to this universe if you jump to another? Open debate.

Men on r/philosophy

and it couldn’t be more true

males have been circle jerking the same anti-intellectual misogynistic topics for millennia and deem themselves as the epitome and monopolists of intellectual thought

You're holding an actual child to higher standards than you hold yourself, but it's the child that should be removed from public and community spaces. For your comfort.

Cuz, honestly, some make up are really fascinating... Im not talking about something like "I can't go nowhere without it", but what falls as a self expression/ art category. Is it still falling under the "makeup is oppressive" thing?

(ohhhh im totally not asking for myself cuz i need an advice....ohhhhhhh)

Hello!

I have thought about this topic a bit in the last day and came to basically these three conclusions:

A lot of women use makeup to attract men or engage in intrasexual competition. This is the most mainstream make up. I don't support this because when you listen to those women, it sounds absolutely exhausting to engage in this mental illness.

A lot of subculture makeup (like og goth) clearly doesn't exist to enhance youth or beauty, but to signal group belonging and have fun. I support them, keep having fun, that's what we're here for.

People will treat you better if you look better and will have a better first impression of you. This is a well replicated occurrence, the goddamn incels are actually right about this one. For those women who need to negotiate with others, fit in and have a highly social job where they want to succeed, using the means to look better (including make-up) can genuinely be used as a social tactic, even though they internally don't want to attract any man. I came to this conclusion after talking to Immigrant, so shout out to her.

I like it when women don't wear make-up, but I also like categories 2 and 3. I think women should be free to have fun in any subculture, and to do anything that furthers themselves. If "furthering themselves" includes trying to look better because people treat better-looking people better and they tend to have success more easily, then so be it. I didn't make the schizophrenic rules of societies, but I think it'd be comparable to shooting yourself in the foot to not use them to your advantage.

Why are women so extremely desperate to find an excuse for wearing makeup and calling it self-expression and art? Seriously why do women have the need to smear this shit into their faces?

Why the fuck is "subculture" always seen as different to heteronormativity when women still perform femininity and men are still more masculine?

I don't see that sexual signaling in these kinds of pics. In fact, many men are open about finding the og trad goth makeup off putting, which is why the softer, "sexier" versions became so popular. Women succumbed to pressure from men.

I'm gonna repost what youaretoobased said about this topic because she was 100% correct.

see I think this is an interesting way of framing this by making it about religion instead of gender with the hyperbole and all, because if I wanted to make a direct faith-based comparison that wasn't me being reactionary about acknowledging a key period of my life, I would compare it to the phenomenon you see with some Jewish converts or white Muslim reverts.

wondering why they are seen differently by both those within their faith and outside of it, reminding everyone that they are just as valid in their faith (even though the question is not a matter of validity but of different life experiences as people from faiths routinely discriminated against across the globe), sometimes excluded for reasons that include discriminatory "you're not a real Jew/Muslim" but also not being part of a target audience (e.g. specific groups for those raised in the religion reconnecting with faith in adulthood) and feeling a need to be included regardless, feeling offended by the idea of their past as a non-Jew/Muslim having been a position of relative privilege, potentially having a past history of antisemitism/Islamophobia that they may not want to confront or learn from and taking it badly when this is brought up... etc etc

It’s a feeling unlike any other when you’re speaking to someone and they mention one thing that so casually reminds you that you are not and never will be on an equal playing field. The pit of dread that forms in your stomach when a coworker, friend, partner, parent reveals to you that you are a woman above all else.

But for those of you who aren't: please, for the love of god, genuinely choose the sweetest, kindest, warmest, most respectful man humanly possible who is the same height and strength as you are MAXIMUM. Choose a fucking gentle femboy and multiplicate him, I'm being so fr rn, this isn't a joke, you have to clone that mf. Choose an adorable sweetheart to help us win the evolutionary arms race.

Do it for the women of the future and for yourself. This isn't the stone age anymore. Violently suppress the instinct that tells you to choose that 200cm aggressive wall of muscles. That's an evolutionary mismatch, you don't need that overgrown creature for self-defense and hunting mammoth anymore, we have firearms now and mammoths have been dead for thousands of years. GET THAT GENTLE FEMBOY AND SHOOT THE CHAD. Do it for yourself and for the women of the future.

And yes, this is basically eugenics, but isn't it eugenics with an interesting twist? You didn't expect this kind of eugenics, did you? I will make this into an ideology. Join the war against sexual dimorphism, the root of all evil.

Unlike women who aren't discriminates since birth, aren't mutilates because of their sex, aren't forced down one gender path... wait.
