"American Men are less educated than American women, and have lower IQ's on average, as well as less empathy and a higher likelihood to commit crimes, especially violent crimes when compared to their female counterparts."


Someone non ironically said this just because married men on average tend to favor Trump.

Am I the only one that thinks its way off the mark?

Statistically, parts of it are true. On average men are more likely to commit violent crime and have, IIRC, less empathy on average, though that's harder to judge empirically. As well, if we consider "educated" to mean "having attended university," I can see that being the case as well, as in general women are found less often working in trades (or other things that don't require a college education) than men, seeing as men far outnumber women in these fields. While I don't have the exact stat, I don't think saying women, in general, are more educated here to be off the mark.

That being said connecting it to Trump is a bit of a logical leap considering there are more factors in play.

 

[Metal Shop X]

I just saw the latest Overwatch animation.
Can I say that I love those animation?
Really, I would pay to see a full movie like those short but it's probably not going to happen.
Still, even if you **** up the ARG, good job Blizzard.

Sombra isn't a defense hero? I'm surprised. I really thought she would be.

I'm assuming she's attack then?

They'd honestly say that regardless of who the man was voting for. This is becoming a common belief in America

But, American Men are becoming less educated than woman. Colleges in the US prefer woman, woman can get more grants, etc.

There are far more woman in American colleges than men and far more woman graduating than men.

God damn it, this Powerpoint rough draft is due soon and Im are a dead end. Im running on no sleep and have no idea what to do

Those stastitics would be correct, just because someone uses them to push their agenda doesn't make them incorrect.

And these stastitics have been used by both sides of the spectrum you've been talking about. If anything, I've seen them presented by the MRA more so than anyone else to show that men aren't completely dominant.

However, like all staristics, you really shouldn't personalize it. And there's a lot of nuance and context to consider, like Opposum pointed out.

The part about Lower IQ's is NOT correct.

Men are more likely to have lower IQ's and higher IQ's while woman are more likely to be near the middle

But averaging it's basically the same with men being slightly higher

 

[praline]

Offense, and yes surprisingly.

It's not even the fact that there is truth to some of the statements.There blatantly is.

It's that he used it in a way to shut people up, shame them and imply that some opinions were better than others.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Also IQ does NOT determine actual intelligence

 

[Chandeelure]

I finally made an Instagram... and it's pretty boring.

I don't even know who to follow or how I get followers hahaha.

It's like Tumblr, but less weird and nerd.

Actually, that statistic I overlooked.(I didn't even see it in the bulk of the things he listed when I scanned his post.) I already knew that men averaged slightly higher, not that it even matters.

 

[Opossum]

Oh yeah, Pokémon Generations review time!

Spoiler

What a neat episode. Cyrus was awesome, as expected, and forgoing the protagonist all together was a neat touch. Cynthia! Giratina was awesome as always, just like in Platinum. Loved the shadow effect. Saturn sounded like such a dork though. Fitting, considering the name.

I give it a "The Distortion World better look that great in the Sinnoh remakes"/10

 

[Ivander]

I'm assuming she's attack then?

Yeah, she is Offense.

That being said, apparently she can hack abilities, including Ults, turrets and shields, she can stealth for a period of time and move faster while doing so, although attacking, using an offensive ability or getting damaged will remove her stealth, and she can teleport with a translocation device, even when it's in midair. Her own Ult is doing a burst AOE that hacks all enemies around her.

Also, looks like I'll be trying out Heroes of the Storm if I want to get Genji a skin. Luckily, it also involves Co-op vs A.I.

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

Got a PS3 (used, not new) and two games (Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time) today.

Can't believe I own nine consoles now.

 

[Fenriraga]

Sombra looks AMAZING. I've been waiting for a stealth/disruption class since I heard Overwatch was gonna be a thing. I'd imagine she's gonna be pretty squishy and she'll have to sneak around like Genji. I like very much.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

It's a man.

Welp there goes my thought

I honestly thought t was a woman, my bad

A man? I think you mean a c-

LOL, j/k.

But seriously. Makes sense it's a man. There are a lot of self-hating men online recently

As TJ Kirk so elegantly put it

This is what I was hoping for. But what does this mean for Bastion? Will he be affected too?

I sneak around with Mei a lot. Her wall provides as a cover while run from my blinded enemies. I usually get into their area by doing so.

There's a lot of buzzwords being used nowadays to circumvent real debate. It's pretty infuriating people think they can just label someone a racist, sexist, feminist, feminazi, bigot, homophobe, transphobe, SJW, cuck, libtard, Republican, Democrat, etc. and somehow forgo actual discussion. It's incredibly condescending.

If you believe in something, and you choose to circulate that stance, you should take the time to defend it instead of simply calling people who disagree with you names as a way of validating why you don't have to address differences of opinion.

I'm seeing a lot of it these days. On all sides. It's horrible.

 

[praline]

Holy ****. I'm one of those people that got play of the game on attack and defend for both sides of a map.

Got potg as Zarya on defend, then followed up with potg as Reaper on attack.

 

[Deleted member]

Remember when I said I'm probably gonna play as the girl in my first Sun playthrough?
Well, I'm honestly having second thoughts. I think I'll pick the guy in my first playthrough but I'll play as the girl in later playthroughs.
Also, from now on I'm now going to name my character Lampy regardless of which gender I choose, rather than these crappy nicknames I made for myself based on my real name

 

[Deleted member]

The Enigma Stand got changed to Misterioso, sometimes I wonder why they even bother to change the name of Stands that are literally just a word to a synonim of it, like Echoes to Reverb
Oh look, it's "overhyped Stand fight"'s user, he a dog now
Kinoto is such a dork and I already love him

I was gonna play the girl but now that hats are optional and the boy has cool hair styles I'm really thinking of playing as the boy.

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah, he definetly has more options than the male character in XY.
I'm probably gonna play as both eventually though.

"These days". As if people did this before 'these days'. People labeling eachother is a new concept. It's a timeless behaviour. The labels themselves is what changes. Labels are used so often and by less mindful people because it's easier for your brain to understand a label with a schema attached to it. So if you just call someone something, like say '******', it makes your time to shut the other person out that much easier and also making it much easier for other people to understand. Compared to debating with great detail and reasoning, that requires a lot more from yourself and it's not as easily understandable as that one label. I myself wish that I wasn't so needlessy complex, that way people could understand me so much easier, though detail is more effective when reasoning with the reasonable, of course.

Anyway, I had no intention of coming off so strongly, I'm just tired of people being so doom and gloomy because of things that have been around for quite awhile.

If anything, I'm just glad people on average(when it comes to the internet) are much more so reasonable than most in the the earlier years. Often times when I'm browsing the internet, I come across threads that are 6-20 years old. And most people really had no filter whatsoever. A lot of common things they'd do and say would get you banned easily nowadays. Even things like very heated and personal arguements weren't really moderated.

Debate is dead.

Uuuuggh, this is exactly what I'm talking about, no need to be needlessy gloomy.

Holy ****, Im actually progressing in my work, I cant believe it lol

The Cubs took 108 years to end their drought and they won it all on the 10th inning with a score of 8.
Petition to change their mascot to Spiritomb who is a Pokémon made of 108 spirits.

Ok...
Seems that 108 is a lucky number for Cubs... coincidence do happen often.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

I've swapped to playing the girl since X&Y. I think it's because as I get older I don't see myself in the character so much. It's less about my Pokemon journey than theirs. Plus if I ever wanna dramatise it, my real name isn't given out to the whole world.

 

[Burruni]

You know you're doing well as Torbjorn when two people on their team go Genji to try to take you down (even if they're far from the best counter to him).

You know you're generally solid when you counter their counter pick and snag 3 golds and a bronze.
Pic related.

 

[Ivander]

This is what I was hoping for. But what does this mean for Bastion? Will he be affected too?

By what I heard about Sombra with Lucio, she can't stop his passive healing or speed boost, but she can stop him from switching between boosts or Amping it up. I assume in the case for Bastion, she can't stop him from attacking in Turret form or Recon form, but she can stop him from switching between forms, meaning that she could keep Bastion from switching into Turret Mode to start rapid-firing or prevent him from switching into Recon Mode to keep him from moving/escaping.

I don't really know counters outside of Reaper for tanks and Genji for Bastion.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I like the male character, he is super adorbs

Mega Evolution and Z-Move buttons occupy the same space in Sun and Moon. Rayquaza cannot Mega Evolve while holding a Z-Crystal.

It can use a Z-Move while knowing Dragon Ascent though

I'm pretty sure everyone knew this was gonna happen. I think you can stop with your news on stuff that is obvious for pokemon.
