What is the equivalent stereotype of 'women should all be homemakers,' for men?
I figured a close stereotype for men, would be that they should all be farmers. The thing is, there are under two million farmers in the US as of 2023. So statistically, an equivalent occupation/role should have a larger number.
Can I get feedback on a video I made for a video game no one plays? (www.youtube.com)
Basically this is my favorite MMO, me and my friends do stupid thing in this game. Very few people play. It’s a 10 year old pvp/sandbox/farming/basebuilding MMO that is developed by one guy as a passion project, and if stats are correct has about 200 daily players. (It was a paradox game that was abandoned and after a number...
