TopicWhat's the explanation for why Asians age well?

Black people age well because of melanin.

White people age terribly because of lack of melanin.

But Asians can be as light-skinned as white people, yet they still age better.

What's the secret?

And it can't be diet because Asian-Americans eat burgers and pizza like white Americans but they still age more gracefully.

For the life of me, I'll never understand why it's okay to shame a dude for being under 6' (something he has no control over) but it's not okay to comment on a woman's weight (something she has full control over).

Like, I agree, don't shit on people because of their physical appearance. Just be decent to people in general. It's just funny how women will grab the pitchforks and torches the second somebody makes a fat joke, but you'll legit never see a woman come to the defense of a manlet.


It's because lots of male bodyshaming comes from other men. You can see that in this topic. Women have more unity in that most of them want bodyshaming over their weight to end. But men, half want shaming over height and penis size to end, the other half are happy to engage in it and put other men down. This is likely because men are naturally competitive and if one man sees an insecurity/imperfection in another man, he will use that to build himself up.

Sure, you can call out female hypocrisy, but it's mostly men holding men back.

When youre comfortable with your masculinity then this trailer isnt threatening in the least. Feminism is a non issue

Its more the fact that everything has to be political and nothing is pure escapism anymore. I hate having political views, even the ones I agree with, shoved in my face when I want to watch a show to escape that crap. I'm not going to watch this for that reason......if they are going to put bullshit identity politics and "representation" above telling a good story, I'm out.


Well if youre going to let identity politics in movies get under your skin then youre probably going to want to skip Hollywood movies altogether because this isnt a new and its not going away.

That's fine. I can watch older movies and it won't kill me to not see Hollywood's trash.


A lot of older movies had traditionalist/patriotism pandering. Hollywood moves have always reflected social values since the first silent film.

What's wrong with 'the suit would be perfect when it fits me'.

Why 'when it fits a woman'? Thats just way too obvious.


What difference would it make? It's the same thing.

and "the suit will be perfect once it fits a woman" and now apparently batman is a shitlord "taking credit for a woman's work"

*gag*


Why do people act like "female empowerment" is a new thing? This kind of "girl power" dialogue has been in female-centered shows since the 90's.

TopicLaw professor representing Weinstein removed as Harvard faculty dean

https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/443260-harvard-says-law-professor-representing-weinstein-wont-return

Harvard told students on Saturday that a professor who represents Harvey Weinstein in court will not return as faculty dean at one of the college's undergraduate residential houses.

Harvard College Dean Rakesh Khurana emailed students and staff Saturday to say that professor Ronald S. Sullivan Jr., who represents Weinstein, and his wife Stephanie Robinson, a Harvard lecturer, would no longer be faculty deans after their term ends in June, according to The New York Times.

He said in the email that a number of considerations went into the decision.

Over the last few weeks, students and staff have continued to communicate concerns about the climate in Winthrop House to the college, he wrote. The concerns expressed have been serious and numerous. The actions that have been taken to improve the climate have been ineffective, and the noticeable lack of faculty dean presence during critical moments has further deteriorated the climate in the house. I have concluded that the situation in the house is untenable.

According to The Times, the change does affect their other positions at the school.


So Harvard students felt "unsafe" because a lawyer who taught at their school was doing his job? Also fun fact: Ronald Sullivan represented the family of Michael Brown.

The communism answer seems like an oversimplification; it doesn't explain why Russia, Poland, Ukraine, etc. were late to industrialize and didn't form colonial powers prior to the Soviet Union. Eastern Europe was less wealthy than Western Europe long before 1917.


Distance from the Atlantic made them miss out on the Age of Exploration. Poland, Ukraine, etc also spent most of the 17th-19th century dominated by the German, Austro-Hungarian, Ottoman, and Russian Empires.

Fun Fact: Arabic numerals aren't even Arabic. They're from India. Arab traders adopted it and when they traded with the West, that's when Europe was exposed to them and called them "Arabic" numerals.

Interesting, were they drawn the same way in India where they originated?


Roughly. They were more streamlined overtime but you'd recognize them if you saw them.
