I shall shut up about this topic at least for a while now, but for anyone out there still thinking that #MRA's and other critics of mainstream #feminism and of the concepts of #patriarchy and #maleprivilege are some kind of delusional misogynists amplifying trifles for the sake of controversy: please spend a few minutes reviewing the data (not _opinion_ — _data_) contained here:

In my experience, the single most effective (and irritating) thing all #conspiracytheorists
(#covid-related or otherwise) seem to do when confronted with specific counterarguments is **being all over the place**, jumping from one thread to another, conflating lots of different claims in a hazy grand narrative, avoiding focus on any one idea to examine it carefully.

Yes, not something new.

@tripu @olamundo I spent a couple weeks manually copying metadata off Flickr and removing photos (I had more than 20000) back when they restricted free accounts to 1000 photos. Now I logged in after a while and I almost gave up as it kept bugging me to upgrade my browser. Very sad to see what Flickr has become.

> _“The heroism performed mainly by men (e.g. firemen) will be #gender neutralised ('firefighters') by the inclusion of a small minority of #women, whereas a much larger proportion of female perpetrators and male victims will be excluded from our highly gendered narratives and policies about sexual and domestic violence. Such cognitive distortions, we believe, are leading to a systematic exaggeration of the negative aspects of men and #masculinity within mainstream culture, and a minimisation of positive aspects. These embedded distortions could be having a significantly harmful impact on the psychological health of #boys and #men and therefore on our society as a whole.”_

Because of things like this and worse still happening in the heart of the most advanced continent in the world, and in spite of so much nonsense attached to the label, I still call myself a #feminist.

Considering the ROI, is it worth it the opportunity cost?

I'm glad I stumbled upon that tweet. It's the same point I made [last year](https://qoto.org/@tripu/105949819777567218), and also [three years ago (pointing to some science to back my claim)](https://mastodon.technology/@tripu/103035326975515688).

@Pat
I cant speak to the previous content you mention as i may have missed it. I seem to recall him saying he was reading mein kampf but that it was not an indication of him supporting the message.
As for the word being harmful in every situation i cant agree, the following woulda be an example where its not harmful: "Shaniqua was called a nigger by a racist today and this is uncalled for, we cant accept that language. I strongly condemn the use of that words towards blacks!". In this context i woukd say not only is not harmful but it is being used positively to condemn racism. As far as i could tell this is more or less the way tripu used it and also the way in which joe roagan used it.

I agree with your points, and i think its ashame pat didnt engage with you rather than jumping the gun. I havent seen the videos so incant comment on the full context, but i see no problem with the post of yours i read or your choice to read mein kampf. In fact id say anyone who cares about racism as a social issue should feel an obligation yo read mein kampf. Understanding the things and people we dislike is an important step in addressing those issues.
