Is there literally anything only men like?

There are male biased things, ie. gaming, woodworking, wingsuiting, cimbing etc.

but are there any things literally only males like?

Oh you bet I'm throwing some boulders

I kinda really wanted to. Not really for obvious reasons, but i was really wondering what a person like that was like. Or what her place looks like. But every sentence she wrote was like diarrhea

Nothing is absolute, of course

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

maybe some things so incredibly niche that only one or two people total like them, if those people happen to be men?

Yes, I and my brother invented a game that only we two know how to play.

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 month ago

But is it a good game?

Nope. Even Fortran programers hate that vile language.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Hey I kinda like it :-(

[–] someacnt@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

That tracks, I like fortran because I never tried it.

Of course not, absolutes don't exist...

Name one (besides there not being absolutes🅰

Urinating standing up. Its so much messier when you're a woman and writing half your friends name in snow with it is almost impossible.

[–] Tower@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

She-Wee for the win!

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

When I started my transition, I always sat to pee, because standing made me dysphoric. Now I don't really care at all :)

Some obscure math, and obscure programming languages. I dunno, but it feels like no women would be dumb enough to devote tons of effort into things like haskell-adjacent languages.

[–] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Learning that language is probably too much of a haskell for anyone really.

[–] someacnt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

That doesn't really stop people, though.

Yes there is:

Only men like nothing.

Explanation:

"Only XYZ like ABC" is equivalent to: "Everyone who likes ABC is also an XYZ."

Since everybody likes at least something, there is no one who likes nothing. The statement: "Everyone who likes nothing is also a man" is true because the "Everyone who likes nothing" part results in 0 people. And it's true to say that everyone in a group of 0 people is a man. It's also true that everyone in a group of 0 people is not a man.

But other than vacuous truths, no sentence stating "Only man like XYZ" is true.

But only men like set theory, so…

This woman likes set theory because she was involved in a set theory workshop:

https://dmg.tuwien.ac.at/sandramueller/conferences/

But you're kind of right that it's not great that math is still a strongly male dominated field. There is not a single woman's name in the Wikipedia article for set theory, where I first tried to find a counterexample.

Also, you don't necessarily need set theory to arrive at vacuous truths. Logic is enough:

FALSE => [statement]

Still, I think vacuous truths are fun because they are meaningless. Especially because they have to be considered in math or else your carefully constructed proof becomes invalid.

I have no idea why you're being downvoted. Perhaps it's coming off as a bit rude to some?
