Women are Wonderful Effect

According to Wikipedia — Women-are-wonderful effect: > The women-are-wonderful effect is the phenomenon found in psychological and sociological research which suggests that people associate more positive attributes with women compared to men. This bias reflects an emotional bias toward women as a general case. The phrase was coined by Alice Eagly and Antonio Mladinic in 1994 after finding that both male and female participants tend to assign positive traits to women, with female participants showing a far more pronounced bias. Positive traits were assigned to men by participants of both genders, but to a far lesser degree. > […] > One study found that the effect is mediated by increased gender equality. The mediation comes not from differences in attitudes towards women, but in attitudes towards men. In more egalitarian societies, people have more positive attitudes towards men than in less egalitarian societies. > […] > Some authors have claimed the "Women are wonderful" effect is applicable when women follow traditional gender roles such as child nurturing and stay-at-home housewife. However, other authors have cited studies indicating that the women-are-wonderful effect is still applicable even when women are in nontraditional gender roles, and the original Eagly, Mladinic & Otto (1991) study discovering the women-are-wonderful effect found no such ambivalence.

Nursery Rhyme — What Are Little Boys Made Of?

What are little boys made of?
What are little boys made of?
  Snakes, snails
  And puppy-dogs' tails
That's what little boys are made of

What are little girls made of?
What are little girls made of?
  Sugar and spice
  And all things nice
That's what little girls are made of

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

oversimplified and contradictory notions of feminism and gender equality circulate widely in the media.

in India, most young women fumble in front of the feminist standard (the leftist-liberal one, to be precise). their ambivalent aspirations and contradictory desires are seen as conspiracies against the sisterhood.

it is one thing to blame the patriarchy for subjugating women’s lives. it is a totally different matter to accuse every other woman of being complicit with the patriarchy for not taking charge of her life as per a feminist framework. This attitude belittles another woman’s individuality and relegates her subjective agency to the sidelines.

about feminism - things to remember:

 

• individual definitions of feminism are shaped by their own experiences with inequality and everyday patriarchy, their perceptions of women’s status in India and elsewhere, and the barriers they expect to face in their lives.

• the bedrock of feminist thought is liberty, equality, and sorority

• the availability of a wide variety of choices for women rather than the choices individual women make for themselves, education and awareness around such choices and availability of role models is also essential

• sisterhood implies empathy and support and suspension of judgement

• the concepts of “fluidity” and “contingency” as applied to feminism

reminder: You are still OKAY!

 

• the millennial who seeks equality of opportunity at work, yet performs the traditional role of wife at home and observes karva chauth

• the woman who believes in gender egalitarianism but not in a socialist division of power and wealth

• the glamorous actors and models who objectify their own bodies through item songs and fashion show

• the hijabis who wear headscarves by choice

• the beauty parlour going women who religiously thread their eyebrows and wax their legs

• the women who choose to be full-time mothers and or house-wives/house-spouses

• the youngsters who attend protests to end sexual harassment by day, and groove to misogynistic hip-hop and item numbers by night with their baes.

• the modern brides who opt for arranged neo-traditional weddings are in vogue, replete with palanquins and kanya daan

• the single women who are online, swiping left and right in search of kinky sexual partners.

• the women who are responsible for upping the average age of a woman having her first child

• the twenty five per cent

Hi, everyone. Thanks to everyone who takes the team to read and/or reply to this. Some initial caveats: Firstly I had no idea how long this was going to be when I started writing it, so no worries if it's TL;DR (I actually left out a bunch of stuff I meant to discuss, believe it or not). It would be nice to get some responses but if it winds up being more of a journaling exercise that nobody reads, so be it. Secondly, some of the ways I feel about my own gender are kind of similar to things that TERFs and other transphobes project onto trans/enby folks so I just want to emphasize up front that in talking about my own personal lived experience of gender I by no means intend to invalidate anyone else's different experiences. Trans and nonbinary identities are valid! All that being said...

I've been doing a lot of thinking about my gender identity recently, but after a bunch of googling terms that seem sort of descriptive of my situation I feel kind of like one of those scenes from a cartoon where bullets shoot around a character in a perfect outline - a lot of terms/gender identities are 'near misses' but none is a 'direct hit'. I know that labels are to be taken with a grain of salt and that I don't strictly speaking need one to be valid, but I figure I should at least do my due diligence of checking to see if there's a community/identity out there that fits my experience. I feel like I'm getting nowhere with unguided googling so I figured I'd check if this community has some insight.

I'm AMAB and I've generally gone through life comfortable with being treated as a cisgender man. I'm starting to push 40, so of course for a lot of my life I didn't have the context to really think about there being any other option. I was lucky enough to have pretty progressive parents, with positive examples of non-toxic masculinity and femininity and not a lot of pressure to gender-conform. Since a young age I've always connected more easily with girls/women as close friends, although there was a while as a kid when I was bullied out of doing so. I can and do build strong connections with men too, but it comes easier with women. Ever since I was a teenager I've very consciously rejected the idea of strict gender roles, and sought to explore and be in touch with all aspects of my personality regardless of whether they would normally be viewed as "masculine" or "feminine" and as such express a number of traditionally "feminine" traits (e.g. sensitivity, being in touch with

We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

“He who dwells in contemplation beneath a tree. Whereon climbing, a creeper bears aloft on either side. The blossoms of the psychic states; mark, such a man, by inferno unapproached ever remains.”

Joy and suffering, light and darkness, positive and negative, prospective and retrospective orientations of the spirit, are to be understood as poles of the vertical axis of the personality of man as in a plant, where the roots seek darkness geotropically and the twigs seek light heliotropically, so too the consciousness of man is caught between ambivalent poles.

The detached man who sits under the tree takes up a neutral position between the positive and negative. He avoids the lure of the sense-luxuries of objects of little interest and recedes to wholehearted or lastingly worthwhile interests by placing himself nearer to the negative pole. This would mean being nearer to the trunk of the tree which would represent the master-tendencies in life treated as if tied in a bundle together.

In thus placing himself correctly in detached neutrality, and if biased at all, more negatively than positively, the Self escapes all possibility of being caught in the alternating phases of the plus or minus of the situation. Self-realization is thus freedom from suffering when one’s consciousness is balanced: first vertically between dreams and facts, and secondly between positive and negative vertical states, when established in the neutral fourth state.

The identity of subject and object in contemplative life has been recognized both in the East and the West. The reference of Plotinus to the ‘flight of the alone to the Alone’ is a direct paraphrase of the state of kaivalya (aloneness) which is the goal of contemplative life, even according to dualistic schools such as that of Patanjali. There is a subtle tri-basic factor called triputi which is responsible for our wrong appraisal of reality. The lazy mind left to itself without the attitude of contemplation has a tendency to view reality sectionally or horizontally, as it were, from an angle which takes for granted the knower, the knowledge as a concept, and the objective side of knowledge, as three distinct separate entities. One has to counteract this tri-basic prejudice to which the human mind is naturally disposed. When the tri-partite (knowledge, knower and known) split has been transcended by another way of approach to reality which is more in keeping with contemplation, an inclusive and universal value

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
