I would say the English language supremacy started around 300 years ago, before that the preferred language was french

His brother couldn’t help him in that moment cause he was FARamir

English Is not my first language, but I agree that should be called female privilege. The same when women don’t get drafted. I think that inference you mentioned is one of the reasons people have negative thoughts about feminism, when in reality all it aims to do is get rid of the different social pressure men and women receive. The point of feminism is not to hate men, but to disentangle our society of harmful expectation, to make it more fair for both men AND women. Circling back to the clothes thing, feminism would have it for women to not be judged by women for repeating clothes, and to give another opposite example, feminism would have it for men to have an easier time entering childcare.

That wasn’t what I said. I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt tho, and try to explain it. You are somehow thinking that having a privilege in a system is the privileged’s fault, when in reality they are too a victim of the same system. Of course men aren’t at fault here in this situation, but they still have privilege in it. In this scenario that means men don’t have to worry about repeated usage of clothes the way women do, so they are in a favoured position, they are privileged. This is what it means. No one here is saying that men are the culprit of this system, rather that men don’t experience the same social pressure when it comes to clothes.

I disagree. The first tweet IS right. It is male privilege that men can wear the same outfit multiple times, and it doesn’t imply it’s enforced by men, it just states that it exist. The fact that women enforce this double standard IS male privilege even when men aren’t to blame

Some people just want a repeat of the last century, from fascism, to rapid technological advancement, to a pandemic in the respective year 20 of each century. We only need an economic crisis at the end of this decade and we’re done. Basically millennials are the victorians of the future

The only country where it had these historical negative connotations is the USA, so he might be from literally any other country on earth

Because not everywhere works exactly like the US? Besides the point, if you work at a McDonald’s, they are not going to give you a phone so you can text your manager. If you don’t have a means of communication you are not getting the job.

The only SMS I’ve gotten in the last 5 years are the double authentication ones. WhatsApp is the default way of texting in many countries. Outside of the US, when you ask people to stop using WhatsApp, chances are you are asking them to give up texting entirely. Which you must realize is complicated to say the least

Almost all jobs in which you have to interact with people, so most of them. I work in an office and i need it to communicate with clients, with my boss or coworkers, or with a government agency. You have to understand that WhatsApp is ubiquitous outside of the US. Here we never got free SMS, so WhatsApp became the default way of texting. Even people on iphones use WhatsApp here

When everybody uses WhatsApp to communicate, which is a meta service, it’s a bit complicated to cut off communication with literally everybody in your country (work, friends, businesses) just to not use a service. It’s disingenuous to expect this without some sort of change within the current status quo. And this is coming from someone who doesn’t use any of their other platforms but has to use WhatsApp, because that’s literally the only choice

What he is trying to say is: is that due to a loss of neuroplasticity or is it more along the line of older children and adults learning a second language usually aren’t deep in the same level of immersion. I agree with him that it’s probably somewhere in the middle

Edit: had a brain fart, meant Richards

One of the most compelling arguments I’ve heard. I must say I was a skeptic before but this really opened my eyes

I thinks it’s because bad publicity does help a brand get recognition, that’s why the saying goes like that. The thing with telsa is that it already has the recognition so with every other article that comes out exposing yet another flaw with them, ever more people associate the brand with bad quality
