I’m not following your logic here

I hope it makes some men (looking at the commenters on r/tinder who speak in terms of a marketplace) understand that they aren’t necessarily competing with other men, they’re also competing with the null hypothesis: Would she rather be alone (or with a bear).

It’s part of a shifting norm and shifting norms are always controversial. Especially norms that involve opening up bodily autonomy, dignity, or respect to previously excluded groups.

Even though we generalize that we’re attracted to categories like men and women I think most people are only attracted to a handful of singular people rather than a whole gender (or a more muscled or less muscled subset of one).

Yeah and also your comment might be illegal in the US soon

Boys becoming Men, Men becoming Bears

A third take: Authoritarian groups have been historically successful in wiping out (usually by force) less authoritarian groups and their methods of organizing.

This is not a right wing resource, but if you’re interested in learning about the arguments and historical evolution of ideas that underpin economic liberalism/neoliberalism, I highly recommend Geoff Mann’s Disassembly required : a field guide to actually existing capitalism. It’s concise, relatively short, and treats the ‘other’ side like rational actors (which is important for understanding, I think).

Ofc this would only help understand people who are quite well informed.

That sounds like a great policy, hopefully other countries will follow suit!

interesting, I added an external link. good to know that feature doesn’t play well for now, thanks for flagging.
