Counterpoint: a woman taking birthcontrol is empowered because she is taking charge of her own reproduction. She doesn't have to rely on or trust the man to take his pill. After all, she would be the one bearing most of the burden in case of an unwanted pregnancy.

Additionally, purely biologically it is much easier to reliably stop conception on the female side than on the male side. A woman only produces one egg cell per month, whereas a man produces millions of sperm cells per day.

Work ... on .... weekends?

I think your problem is that you're a workaholic.

It's even more confusing because in my native language (Dutch), we have those words too ( gnoe and gnoom ), and we do pronounce the g.

Of course, no Dutch speaker would ever miss the opportunity to pronounce a g :)

I am still thoroughly confused whether I should call it KDE or Plasma or Plasma Desktop. Like, what is the difference?

They know what -r and -n do

No we don't magically know that. We know that we have to look it up in the manual to know that.

I have to ask... what the hell is that thing?

That is a self-inflicted wound caused by how Wayland was designed, particularly the part where they offloaded so much responsibility onto the different compositors.

in most straight relationships I’m familiar with

So because it doesn't happen to you, it doesn't happen to anyone. Ok.

It's probably a little bit rarer than the other way around, but male anorgasmia exists especially as men get older.

But as usual, male feelings and sexual problems are ridiculed and swept under the rug as unimportant.
