Evil is a societal definition. You’re seeing the beginning of the definition change to include the suffering of animals. The only way it will take hold permanently is if humans end up more empathetic in the future. The current batch don’t have it in them.
If that’s the average, knowing nothing else at all, we can assume they started with 80k debt. Half are just at the start, and half are almost done paying off.
It’s exactly this. A bear is a bear. Known quantity. Likely to leave you alone, and you’re in his space. A man? Possibly fine. Possibly gonna do some bad stuff. Why is he even there? Who knows!
People are really bad at risk calculations. Bears just aren’t that risky by comparison.
Not really. It’s saying to soften the language. I disagree. I say explain the language and why that level of anger is justified. The boys will quickly realize and be told that it’s not about them. They’ll likely also be just as mad at the s*** that goes on.
Kids are smart. If you tell them that women would pick a bear because a small percentage of men rape a large percentage of women, they’ll get that.
Outlets shock people. Always check the fuse is off at the circuit breaker.
Men are strong and brave. We draft them for war.
You’re hearing a sound bite and jumping to conclusions because your brain thinks it’s about you and gets defensive. It’s not about you. Not everything is about you. That’s was the hardest thing for me to learn as a generic white dude. Some things aren’t about me, aren’t for me, and that’s ok.
Women receive more training on men safety. Keys in hand between their fingers. Eyes averted. Never walk alone. Don’t go out at night. Cross the Street if men are coming. Cover your drinks. Cross your legs. Don’t dress provocatively. Don’t reject them outright.
Women are on high alert all the time. That’s why the bear threat is meaningless to them.
Let’s assume, though it’s silly, that death is inevitable in the scenario. A bear isn’t going to torture you or rape you. It’s a quick death. Can man guarantee me the same?
Making some weird race comparison is racist because someone’s race doesn’t dictate their maximum cruelty. However, their species does.
But if there were some religion where you only got into heaven by torturing people slowly, then your analogy would be apt. Those people on a whole would have a higher maximum cruelty.
The laws are the same, the context is different. It’s one thing to unionize of you live in state with job options. It’s another when the one factory employs the entire town.
That isn’t to say they aren’t somewhat responsible. Just that we can’t expect the same performance given that disability.
