Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

If women helped each other kill their rapists, the world would be a better place real soon.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=28WO-0U5Gts&

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

That sounds like a good idea until you remember that women are just as capable as men of being lying psychopaths.

That now makes me wonder what the distribution of psychopathy is over sex.

I assume they're independent and we'd have a "50:50" distribution.

Not interested enough to actually go and find out though.

You're right, it's a partial solution at best.

Just give them guns. I mean, guns are primitive by today's measure to manufacture. A sufficient in scale production would make them cheap.

Though arming everybody in India would mean at least one gun for every teen and adult in 1.4bln population, and also ammo.

I’ll allow it. After 900,000 years of being raped the males really do have it coming.

Homo sapiens have only existed as a species for about 300k years, and that's probably the least of several things wrong with your statement.

[–] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was using the greater definition of humans, which includes our ancestors species. They were still human beings, but not homo sapiens.

"Early humans first migrated out of Africa into Asia probably between 2 million and 1.8 million years ago. They entered Europe somewhat later, between 1.5 million and 1 million years. "

Per the Smithsonian https://humanorigins.si.edu/education/introduction-human-evolution#:~:text=Humans%20first%20evolved%20in%20Africa,ago%20come%20entirely%20from%20Africa.

Hominids but not humans. Not the same species. Might as well be talking about chimpanzees.
