@freeschool @lolicon I use Reddit reluctantly but frequently since all alternatives to the site are either moderated by authoritarian communists or authoritarian conservatives who ban any political opponents; they also tend to be populated by the same unpleasant kind of users.
@freeschool The site actually split into two a while ago. I'm not sure how credible it is anymore since the primary moderators seem to have switched to PrivacyGuides. https://www.reddit.com/r/PrivacyGuides/comments/pnh9n8/what_happened_to_privacytools/
@barefootstache I believe expectations placed onto men and women are a product of the common beliefs in their society at the time rather than a biological function.
In my opinion, the reason why many of these beliefs seem to be the same in many different cultures is because men and women have a discernible physical difference, which means one sex is often better than the other in certain activities.
For higher efficiency, men and women adopted the roles that they were good at. Men excel at strength, which was necessary to survive in the tribal and later the agricultural world, which means men possessed more utility and thus more authority. Women stayed home and cared for children, since children required their mothers, and because a lack of strength made women useless for physical labor in harsher areas. Eventually, people started to affix tasks to the sex that practiced them.
We do have empirical evidence in this regard. Descendants of societies which required a higher amount of physical labor due to their harsher climate tend to have strict gender norms, whereas descendants of societies with agricultural endowments due to which planting and harvesting crops did not require heavy physical labor have less strict gender norms.
@freeschool I know this isn't entirely relevant to what you're saying, but I'm not a fan of sin taxes because they are just another method through which the government legislates personal morality. I don't support the usage of harmful drugs, but it is not the government's place to tell people what they can or cannot do to their own body.
@fisunov My loneliness comes from a lack of people with similar interests or a similar personality nearby rather than a reluctance to interact with others. I find it hard to hold a conversation with most people because they share almost nothing in common with me, and that makes it difficult for me to become friends with them.
@freedompatriot What is your opinion of the Mises Caucus leadership?
@ru @thisisfilber7@mastodon.social I loathe the fact that WhatsApp is used here as emails are in the west (at least in my life). Almost all schools require it and so do most jobs, and practically everyone communicates through WhatsApp.
Its one silver lining is that it's E2E encrypted, and I don't know how long that will last.
