      Even if we had it, imagine how small your life is if you actually believe we are born to do a biological job.

        Imagine if we flipped the tables. If it’s all on women to have and raise kids and nothing more, wouldn’t that mean a man’s job is to get laid/donate sperm, impregnate someone once, and that’s it? If that’s all there is and he’s fulfilled his role, there’s no need to stay alive after that. Like a male bee, exploding after mating. Why bother with society, hobbies, learning and growing? OP’s “job” as a man is nothing more than to literally fuck off and die, mission complete.

        Obviously I don’t believe that, just taking his argument to its logical conclusion. I’ve heard people say that women are just for making babies so many times in my life, but I’ve never heard men’s role put in the same terms.

        It sounds ridiculous because it is ridiculous. We’re all so much more than our biological equipment. I know I’m preaching to the choir here, I just had to rant for a moment.

    I don’t like this logic. It implies that a person’s value depends on their achievements. The only difference between the two is what the most important achievements are. Ultimately, this reinforces the right-wing logic that there are people of different values.

    Lol if anything if you wanna go there just doing your biological job sounds extremely uncreative, it’s something I’d expect an animal to do, not a person. We are blessed by god or otherwise with the gift of reason, why must we not use it?

    You should have kids if you want them and think you can provide a decent upbringing to them.

    My female friend had a female doctor try to talk her out of a contraceptives prescription; that she was 28 and should be having babies…

    It’s not a misogyny thing, per se, rather just people that define their lives by the templates supplied by societal stereotypes. Never take advice from a person that doesn’t think for themself.

      This is literally institutional misogyny.

          Oh, for sure. I meant that in this specific example

          the templates supplied by societal stereotypes

          are called institutional misogyny.

    Listen, power to women, and Vera Rubin’s work was amazing and she deserves every praise.

    But nobody has ever proven the existence of Dark Matter. What’s proven is that our current mathematical models do not accurately represent the universe due to the way things move and effects of gravity, under our current understanding, requiring a large amount of mass that we have not observed.

    Does that make sense? It could be that our models or understandings are just wrong, or it could be that there is some magical unobservable matter, but we don’t know. We haven’t proven anything.

    The reason I think this is important is because we keep throwing money at bigger and bigger dark matter detection chambers, and we keep operating on the possibly incorrect assumption of dark matter while we create new theories.

      This is actually the bit that Vera Rubin discovered. The summary of her discovery in the quote is the issue :)

          Originally, banjos post read like the line about Vera Rubin was outright incorrect, rather than simply being a case of the OP in the image making a poor summary of her contributions.

          It sounded like Banjo was challenging Vera’s relevance in the list, rather than clarifying what she actually did

            I would not make praising her the opening statement of my comment if I were challenging her contributions.

              Broadly, what you said was “Power to her, but what’s proven is that our current mathematical models do not accurately represent the universe”. The “but” in that statement is that issue, as it sounds like you’re challenging her findings with a correction, but your correction was just to summarise her actual findings

                Her achievment is proving the current mathematical models do not represent the universe and explaining why, where many men before her utterly failed.

                Her achievment is not proving the existence of dark matter.

                The “but” is very warranted and I honestly feel like the “dark matter is real” zealots are the ones besmirching her name by misrepresenting her accomplishments.

                  What I’m getting at is that your “but” made it sound like you were challenging her findings, rather than images incorrect summary of her findings.

    I had my son at 28, not by 24. Speedrun: FAILED.

    Oh, and wrote my first novel at 50. Also FAILED, apparently.
