I will concede every girlfriend I've had has been a woman, scandalous I know, and an adult one even.

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Aren't young men turning away from the right in droves? Could be another accusation that in reality is just a confession.

[–] go_go_gadget@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Democratic politicians, Republican politicians and Billionaires all want you to believe the Democratic party is too far left to appeal to voters.

[–] BrickEater@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Sadly they're actually too far right to appeal to voters.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

women make up a large amount of voting power, and the gop is scared of that.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

ICE isn't being staffed by the elderly.

There continues to be an enormous base of young republicans and religiously indoctrinated conservatives.

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

True, its not like theres zero support from that group, but I could've sworn I saw young men were getting fed up with trump & conservatives cuz they aren't following through on anything and everything is more expensive.

[–] Starik@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

WOMEN??? Bleh!

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

Implying that the old girlfriend was men? Very progressive, Tumorville.

[–] rosco385@lemmy.wtf 19 points 2 days ago (8 children)

We can solve most of the political problems in western countries with one simple change: an upper age limit on voting.

If under 18's can't vote, why can those over 70? Having worked in residential Aged Care (Australia), I know the oldies are all still voting and they're voting conservative.

[–] aphonefriend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ya know what would solve everyone's problems? Removing money from politics. Or just removing money from the rich. Or both.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 2 days ago

Both.

Campaign Finance Reform is the issue from which ALL other issues flow.

[–] QuandaleDingle@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Nahh, that's the wrong way to go about it. We need an upper age limit on political office.

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Nah this is just ageism. Now, I do think there might be a conversation to be had about once medical power of attorney goes into effect if the individual should no longer be permitted to vote, but there's no set age where everybody lacks the mental faculties to vote.

I've had relatives knocking on deaths door by age 60, and I have a 100 year old relative who drives the Amish around as his retirement gig

[–] binux@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

If it’s ageism then there shouldn’t be any minimum age for voting either, no? By your logic, since there’s no set age for lacking the mental cognition to vote, under-18s should be allowed to as well.

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com 2 points 2 days ago

Should it not go for the reverse as well? Some 14 year olds are smarter than a lot of 30 year olds, but I don't ever see anyone advocating for them to get voting rights.

I see both sides. There is no good way to cognitively test either, as that could be abused as well. Age limits would help, for both voting, as well as term limits for the politicians.

That said, I believe there is far far far more wrong with the country which if fixed wouldn't even need any of the above to be significantly better.

Better idea: nuke the lower age limit and let everyone vote.

"Their new girlfriend is... women" Huh.

[–] Klear@piefed.world 64 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Isn't that gay or something?

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 44 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes. Sex with women is gay because women are feminine and femininity is gay.

To be truly straight, only have sex with other men. Men are masculine, that's straight.

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 10 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Gotta man scissor though, so you’re both the fucker and the fuckee at the same time, otherwise one of you is the girl.

[–] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Back in my day we just called that a double dutch rudder.

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Explains why my gay friend always looked so intrigued when I asked if he wanted to go Dutch but then disappointed when it was splitting the bill.

[–] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 2 points 1 day ago

Lol. That would be quite the head turner if I overheard.

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

You just gotta win at gay sex, that’s how you become the man

[–] pomegranatefern@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As opposed, I assume, to the old Epstein class standby of an underage girl.

[–] nullify3112@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

They put the girl back in girlfriend, that’s for sure.

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Illegal exotic women…..

[–] northendtrooper@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is the same shit who blocked high rank military promotions?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I thought Hegseth was behind this. But I'm sure Tuberville supported it

[–] regdog@lemmy.world 31 points 3 days ago

Posting republican talking points feels like cheating

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago

There are plenty of Republicans that pretend to be folksy morons. Tuberville is the genuine article.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's because of guys like Tuberville that I do not regard myself as a man anymore.

I mean seriously, masculinity currently is defined in media by folks like Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro and Joe Rogan (and before them, Donald Trump and Bill O'Reilly).

When I was a kid, masculinity was defined by the capacity to be responsible for a nuclear bomb and not launch it. Id est, to be able to take care of business without being petty. Then that just became common adulting, and everyone is supposed to do that.

And now we've got a man in office in the White House who is eager to launch nukes and end civilizations (and has had to be told no more than once regarding nuclear authorization).

you choose how you define your masculinity.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago

That's the thing. I can't think of a single trait that is preferable for men to have but women not, or for that matter, vice versa.

I used to be a gender abolitionist, and the only reason I'm not is because I can see how much it means for trans folk to represent at the gender they identify with. (I also hypothesize that it's similarly important for self-identified alpha-males, who just don't feel masculine enough no matter how much they try.)

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 4 points 2 days ago

I prefer to think in terms of "mature adult vs petulant / immature" rather than in gender terms.

I happen to pee standing up, but so what?

[–] J3N5T4R@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Not having A Xenomorph queen for A girlfriend is A bit of A skill issue tbh.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (2 children)
[–] HeHoXa@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago

Yup. I've gone too deep. Would you please tell me how to find my way back to cat memes and fail videos?
