It wasn't a criticism - I was just curious if anyone had any more info.

Do we know when Mint 22 is coming yet other than just "summer '24"?

Here's a great in-depth video on Edison and his relationship with Tesla. It seems that Edison was actually remarkably progressive for the time in a lot of ways, and, while not perfect, he seems to have been a much better employer than many of his rivals.

Edit: Lol and then like ten hours after this comment they dropped a four and a half hour video going into much more detail about both.

Lots of badlinguistics in this thread.

I'm pretty sure that by this point most reasonable people have realized that the wage gap is a myth, so that's probably not your best example.

Exactly. Feminist terminology like "toxic masculinity" and "patriarchy" has been very carefully chosen to be misandrist enough to result in the intended widespread popular demonization of men that we've seen over the past few decades, while also giving feminists enough deniability to gaslight with "that's not what the terms ackchually mean though".

The misandry is a feature, not a bug.

Exactly. More lenient sentencing is definitely part of female privilege.

Oh wait, no, I mean part of the horrible misogynist practice of "putting women on a pedestal", of course. Gotta make sure that we frame all of the privilege that being a woman brings as actually just more evidence of how bad men are!

Brosef, the term "patriarchy" itself is (and has always been) intentionally misleading and inherently misandrist, and has played a huge role in the modern demonization of men as a result. The "academic definition" of the term is irrelevant, as the (fully intended) real world negative consequences of the term for men in the cultural zeitgeist have been systemic and pervasive, as we can see all over this thread.
