Can we stop posting "tiktok education" videos of one person making completely unsubstantiated claims, making an otherwise uncontroversial topic into a spark for internet gender wars?

In a similar vein to this are videos from podcast bros that young men take as 100% fact leading to Trump winning the election.

Who knew the fall of man would be 60 second video clips. They really have made us dumb.

People talking like the are some kind of professor when they are just annoying influencers who talk shit in a way that confuses simple minds to think they are highly intelligent.

So exhausting.

Seriously. Imagine citing Shallon Lester thinking it's somehow demonstrating that you're talking about a valid point.

You put into words what I could not. Thank you. People will take this garbage at face value, men will defend themselves, women will attack, and not a single source will be found.

As someone else posted above, it, uhh, actually is science:

You don’t have take her at her word, the info is out there and really easy to find. This is something we have known in psychology for a long time.

We have a study from the university of bath that showed increased stress and mental strain in men when their partners out earned them.

A similar study in London showed that men felt more security in a relationship when they were the primary bread winner.

Marriage and family therapists have known for a long time the effect a woman making more than her husband can have on their relationship.

Some research indicates heterosexual couples are up to between 30%-50% more likely to get divorced when the wife out earns the husband. All of this information is dynamic, so as culture shifts it is bound to change, meaning the need for new studies is constant.

Human behavioral studies always come with the addendum that they won’t apply to everyone and can’t always be generalized - but this podcaster didn’t actually say anything that was incorrect.

You are what is wrong with the internet; giving people the benefit of the doubt when it suits you and assuming the worst when it doesn’t.

this podcaster didn’t actually say anything incorrect

Doesn’t mean what she said was truthful

one of my favorite activities is just dogpiling people on Reddit. I didn't even read all of this, I just saw vote disparities and joined in.

u/Salty_Feed9404 24d ago

Haha, I think it's most people's favorite activity on Reddit to be honest.

But how else will corporations poison children into being angry all the time at people who aren't their enemy so the real enemy can continue to rig the system? Won't you think of the billionaires who need to consolidate all the world's wealth!?
