Is there a pejorative term for anti-feminists/misogynists that corresponds to "feminazi"?
Sure. Douchebag. Fukboi. terms like that.You have to understand the motivation for this kind of name calling. It’s all about what one gender perceives is wrong with the other. You can’t look for something exactly like feminazi but for men. The equivalent is what is most annoying about men from the female perspective, that is a significant flaw.The reason why men choose feminazi as a derogatory label is because of what we perceive as false conviction based in insecurity. It’s a pretty accurate charge to level at people most interested in promoting the female condition.Women go through impostor syndrome etc. intimidation by physically larger and stronger males who might be wrong but won’t submit based on reason alone. They react by banding together and calling out gender bias. Sounds good. But then it is taken too far. Women want to play like they understand confrontation, the threat of death, real conviction in the face of serious threats etc when they don’t.So they fake it. This is a problem. Fake conviction isn’t the same as real conviction. The fear that breeds real conviction causes people to be honest, to make sure their cause is seen for what it is. Fake conviction means using overwhelming power you shouldn’t have access to in order to squelch helpless opponents. They are totally different. From our perspective feminazis are weak pathetic crybabies hiding behind a keyboard or a microphone.So if you want a term for men, hit them where it hurts. They are presumptuous, arrogant etc. They think you are interested in them just because they are attracted to you (there is a reason for this). They act like they are entitled to you. They get mad when you don’t seem to be interested. The names have to stem from these flaws that are frequent in men.
Did Richard Spencer, leader of the alt-right, deserve to be sucker-punched?
No. Hell no.Listen, if someone is inciting violence against others, that’s a problem, and it should be solved through the proper channels - a criminal investigation and trial by jury.I’ve always considered myself pretty far left - I’m anti-racist, anti-sexist, pro-animal rights, socialist, environmentalist, etc. But much of the left wing is getting increasingly unhinged - more and more pro-violence, less accepting of science and due process, and so on.Let me give a personal example. I’m studying criminology - sexual violence in particular. It turns out that there are probably more male rape victims than many people assume - a lot more.When I’ve mentioned this to other people on the left I know, nearly always their response isn’t to deal with the data. Instead, they call me an MRA, a Trump supporter, a misogynist, a Rush Limbaugh-listener, they shame and insult me for being single, and so on. I have a small cadre of fellow leftist black sheep I know, but the rest have largely abandoned or outright attacked me.So, when people on the left start saying it’s okay to punch Nazis, this really bothers me. If so many on the left can’t tell the difference between a Trump supporter and a leftist criminologist, can we really trust them to tell the difference between a Nazi and a garden-variety conservative?It’s not just that mob violence is never the solution to a difference of opinion, no matter how extreme that difference is. It’s that the left is becoming increasingly ideological and unhinged.If you care about racial justice, this is a problem for you.If you can about gender equality, this is a problem for you.If you care about the poor, about immigrants, about the environment, about animal welfare, this is a problem for you.The left depends on maintaining the moral and scientific high ground in order to achieve its objectives. If we can’t do that, we might as well give up now. That’s why this “punch a Nazi” campaign is a serious threat not just to racists, but even to the left itself. If we can’t oppose those promoting violence within our own ranks, can we really expect other groups to do the same?
Should I mention my failed startup/business on my resume? If yes, how ? If no, why ?
YESI recently found my startup in a really bad place. My cofounder and best friend gave up and left. Our product, after many iterations and pivots, was still not making any money nor picking up much traction.So my tech cofounder and I came to a decision: keep it alive in a minimal sense, but each get jobs so that we could at least keep our company to survive. Keep it on life support.I thought I would be completely ruined for the job market, because I went straight into starting a company right after grad school.I sent 5 applications on that week, got 4 interviews in response.Which is crazy in my opinion. I remember trying to get a job right after undergrad and it was haunting. 100s of applications everywhere and nothing.I think what happened was that my startup experience really articulated on certain things: independent thinking, endurance, quick on the feet, able to hustle, resourceful, etc. The interviewers were generally asking me that as well. They wanted to know about the story of my startup, and what I can do for them in reference to what I did at the startup.You just have to do that.In the cover letter, tell a story. Tell a story about how your experiences gave you skills that you could apply to the company.Don’t be afraid to show your failure. Failure means that there were also many lessons. Show how those lessons make you the perfect candidate.And don’t lie or exaggerate anything. Just tell it like it is.
How old is MDH Wale Baba?
He , Mr Dharampal Gulati , is 93 years old.But that’s not so fascinating until you hear that he visits all his charitable schools, all his Hospitals and at times personally checks the making of spices (of course , in his Rolls Royce or Audi [PS He owns both , and a few more too] )He still does regular yoga and excercise, sleeps at time, but dances with kids at annual function of MDH International School.He walks really slowly , with generally 2 people around in case he falls (he never does :P )Did I mention he was a Tonga driver (horse cart driver) ?Source: Seen him since childhood (every year) as he comes to my school.…. yeah.Edit after Aditya’s Query :His families condition was really bad in the beginning.His father opened many small scale businesses , none of them were successful.He dropped from school when he was in 5th and decided to help the business.Soon , partition of India occurred (yes he survived partition :D ) and he had onlyRs 1500 for his survival during that time.He was all alone , had to earn a living , so decided to buy a TONGA for Rs 650.After a few months of struggle , he got a small place to settle and got a shop (not even a shop , a small place to keep spices or whatever :P ) .And resumed his father’s business of spices , started experimenting with mixes , and opened “MAHASHIAN DI HATTI : DEGGI MIRCH WALE”.Soon , everyone in in Bihar and Gujarat who started using these new experimental spices started liking them. His spices became famous and he kept expanding (its not that direct when I say it , expanding has its dimensions )Guess that answers Aditya’s question, feel free to comment :DAnd thanks for 4k upvotes , never got more than 500 , but directly 4k ???!!!You guys are the best ^_~
How can we defeat activists for men's rights?
Thanks for the A2AQuestion: How can we defeat activists for men's rights?Answer: I think I am going to take a slightly different tact on this then all the answers I have read. I do this because I had to battle for my rights as a man and a Father to get custody of my kids.Short History to bring context to the answer. After 18 years of marriage my ex-wife had an affair and became pregnant as a result. I filed for divorce and had to fight for custody. I wanted my children not because their mother had an affair but because I was always the more active participant in their lives, provided more emotional support to them and because they were asked who they wanted to live with and they said me. Okay end of brief history.I had a battle on my hands, not so much with my ex-wife as with the court system. The Family Court Judge was of the opinion that unless I could prove that my ex was an unfit mother that she would retain full custody. This was not a matter of her being UNFIT just not the BEST FIT. I had no desire to attack her as a Mother. Yes, she had issues (she is Bi-Polar and rarely takes her Meds) but for me it was not about her, it was about the kids. The assumption that the Mother is the obvious choice is counterproductive to the welfare of children. This violates men's rights in the worse way and yet is a common assumption. How do you defeat activists for men's rights? The same way you defeat activists for women's rights! You eliminate the biases and assumptions and stereotypical characterizations. You make decisions based on the Individual not the gender. Will we ever eliminate the Activists? I doubt it as someone will always feel they are being discriminated against because of their gender. Activism has its place and can solve real issues. The problem is Activist tend towards EXTREMES. Example: Activist fought against Sexual Harassment. A great issue that needed to be addressed and resolved. However, when a 1st grade boy is suspended from school for sexually harassing a 1st grade girl by kissing her on the cheek (true story) because Activist cried foul we have gone too far, to EXTREME.Every situation is different, every person(s) involved in the situation is different. Activist of all issues want to make every situation about the cause and not about the people involved. The people become secondary to the cause. That is the real problem.
