Students need to make a big fuss about this. I mean overwhelming the administration with complaints, demands to be transferred to different classes, no student should take a class from these two ever, if these two are required for your graduation plan then that needs to be a mass protest from students so no one is forced to be in their class.
I feel like women have every right to just give up on us men at this point.
They kind of have. That’s why they chose the bear.
You mean yourself, right? If you relate to what these people are doing enough to lump yourself in with them, keep the rest of us normal people out of your generalisation.
Yeah getting angry and defensive in the comments of this story of all stories will sure show them different huh?
Ah yes, because calling all men rapists and dangerous is not offensive and angry. Have you ever attempted to touch grass?
He straight up didn’t call all men rapists and dangerous, he said:
I feel like women have every right to just give up on us men
I feel like I’d give up on eating pasta if one out of every ten had a big shard of glass in it. Doesn’t take every one having a shard of glass.
The bear isn’t 1 out of 10. It’s 5 out of 10. Conservative estimate.
Yet, because of your talking point which implies that men are worse than bears, due to the implicit argument you’re conveniently ignoring about some men being rapists (1 out of 10, remember?), you’d pick 50/50 odds of literally dying.
It’s just a misandrist talking point. Not rational. Purely emotional and made to create dissent and division. It’s inherently offensive to the 9/10 other, innocent men lumped in with the choice.
The typical crack back is that if you’re offended, you’re somehow part of the problem, a typical manipulation technique just to shut up opposition, because it’s not saying anything, just pointing fingers.
This whole thing is a big joke at the expense of men all over.
you’d pick 50/50 odds of literally dying.
Dude you have told people to touch grass and you think running into a black bear means you have a 50/50 chance of dying? Bwahahaha. Why yes, I’d rather startle a black bear than be alone in the woods with a guy.
Touch -and I can not emphasize this enough: Grass.

As we all know women have a “this dude is a rapist” detector and “this dude is an abuser” detector, where we can easily distinguish between men who are threats and men who aren’t. Rape and DV only happen when we are waiting for the detectors to get back from regular maintenance or repair.
I didn’t say black bear. Try polar bear for odds? I just took the combined bear odds. You’re just an idiotic troll.
Funny extra, notice how you only focus on the worst men, and the best bear. Almost like your argument would fall apart otherwise
I think I’ll take my chances with the bear over you specifically. I know it won’t lecture me for getting away from it
You getting away from a bear? Lmao.

Unless you’re Usain Bolt and it’s a sloth bear. Get a grip on reality, misandrist.
Wow really steering into that skid there buddy.
What even is the bear argument if not that? In fact I’ve seen that written multiple times as the justification.
So obsessed with that bear thing, yet still hasn’t gotten the point of it yet. Wow.
It would require putting himself in the headspace of women. And listening and empathizing with women. Completely unviable for him at this point in time, and will continue to be so long as he values protecting his own fragile masculine position over genuine human connection
Oh yes I got the insult, thank you very much.
Would you let 10 deadly snakes into your home if only 1 would bite you? How about 9?
Anyway while you’re weighing that I’m going to be somewhere else doing lesbianism as someone who is bi but refuses to deal with men’s bullshit.
As a lesbian I fucking swear guys like this make my romantic life so much easier
You buy the women that are used to dating them flowers and they talk about it for a month, or whatever that bit was
My preferred trick is to listen and cook dinner.
And like, I’m not saying men can’t do all this, I’m just confused because it seems like enough don’t that I come off really well to women who dare men
As someone who doesn’t give a fuck about you or your individual experiences, I say you sure are arrogant for assuming any man would be interested in you.
Bwahahaha
Oh that’s a good one. Let me get into why it is funny
As someone who doesn’t give a fuck about you or your individual experiences,
I say you sure are arrogant for assuming any man would be interested in you.
The lack of self awareness. Note how these two ideas can exist in his head at the same time.
I say you sure are arrogant for assuming any man would be interested in you.
I just directly said I would prefer if men weren’t. You mean this as some sort of insult but it’d be a relief if actually true!
Also, the idea that this is the best insult you can come up with, the idea of men being uninterested in me. A real poverty of imagination here.
Anyway, thanks for the chuckle.
You clearly think about men all the time if you have enough time to defend your worthless talking point on lemmy.
My argument wasn’t contradictory, if you just stop and think about it. Yes I don’t give a fuck as in your singular experience doesn’t paint a larger picture.
And yes I do hope no one would be burned by getting interested in someone as toxic as you clearly are.
You clearly think about men all the time if you have enough time to defend your worthless talking point on lemmy.
Yes, do you think because I don’t sleep with or date men, men and how to interact with men has been purged from my brain? I still need to interact with male coworkers, strangers, acquaintances, friends, metamours, etc. Lmao. Are your forehead veins throbbing right now?
I say you sure are arrogant for assuming any man would be interested in you.
And yes I do hope no one would be burned by getting interested in someone as toxic as you clearly are.
Wait are you equating men with all people here? Lmao.
And not once did you run away calling them all rapists while going to fetch a bear? Wow. Almost like your entire “I’d pick a bear” thing is a misandrist’s wet dream.
I’m a bit confused about the wording around students having to ask for leave from University.
Here in Australia, we have lectures, tutorials (which are more like classes) and assessment. Professors (we usually call them lecturers) can take attendance at tutorials and assign a percentage of your final grade to it, but it’s not like a job where you have to call in if you’re not going to come; you just don’t turn up. Only two of my classes in either of my degrees counted attendance for marks.
For the easier classes you could (and people do) just not show up to classes and hand in the assessment before the due date, and still pass.
So is it like high school for you guys where you actually have to have an excuse for not attending?
Rules vary a LOT by university in the US; there isn’t one consistent standard.
They even vary by professor. I had one Professor back in the day who did take attendance and I thought I was weird cuz no one else ever had no one else ever cared.
I get the impression students in the US get treated sort of younger for longer, e.g their PhD students still attend classes.
I think it varies a lot. None of my classes ever had attendance. But I have heard of other colleges where it was a norm for every class. Some colleges are just weirdly strict about stuff.
It’s unbelievably creepy that these two guys are trying to concern themselves with anything at all to do with their students’ bodies or health.
It just screams “got into teaching for the wrong reasons”.
Anyone who ever stepped a foot on campus is aware of the fact that academia is full of sex pests abusing their power…
PhD programs are notorious for this and Adkins look the other way…
You want this PhD honey or are you going to throw it all away… Choice is yours!!!
Very hard to believe a group with even rudimentary education would place themselves in such a position
leave fuckmerica, it does not want you and you do not want it
Another great reason why we need good, anonymous currency and more privacy in society. Everything’s all fine and dandy till your bank or google maps rats you out.
Your downvotes are uncharacteristic of the usual vibe on Lemmy. Google maps and your bank must have made accounts.
Lemmy laughing at crypto bros is pretty normal.
They are usually pretty pro-personal security though. I like cash. Nothing more anonymous than that.
You really have to be an asshole to live in Texas at this point lol abort Texas, abort the south. I want them to succeed in secession for demonstrative value.
I live in Texas. We need people that vote against this BS instead of just leaving. Texas has a say in US politics whether you like it or not, so some of us need to try to get better people in office.
Furthermore, I’m a man and can afford to stay to fight for women’s rights. I’m still protected, for now anyway.
My husband and I are both here and voting as long as the military forces us to be here. Every election. Local, state, and federal. Blue. Every time.
But fuck, the second my contract says I’m allowed to move, I’m selling my house, fleeing this hellhole ASAP, and will never willingly set foot in this state again. Just saying.
2012 Texas was different than it is today. Not great, but exponentially better. There’s been a distinct decline over the past ~decade.
Nah you need to leave. Stop trying to swing a state that just needs to implode. Let those chimpanzees tear out each others’ throats, it’ll clean up the house in no time if they’re left alone to their devices.
You really have to be an asshole to live in Texas at this point
Terrible take. A lot of us can’t “just move elsewhere.” All the surrounding states are still pretty conservative and shitty, moving isn’t free, and you can’t just sell all your shit and hitchhike and expect to be welcomed with open arms.
It took all of my measly life savings just to move, I still struggled with housing and finding a job for months, healthcare is a removed, CoL is higher, and I have to live in the city long enough to find my footing when I was raised to be accustomed to smalltown life. Don’t get me started on the weather and day/night cycle and difference in climate, nature, environment. There’s a bit of culture shock there.
And if all the non-fascists left, where are they supposed to go en masse? Somewhere that’s slightly better? Overwhelm blue states that aren’t prepared infrastructurally? A lot of the time, this kind of mass migration overwrites local culture and just ends up recreating the problems of the homeland. You’re telling me California can handle an influx of 12,000,000 psychologically damaged texans who need to be deprogrammed and integrated?
Those are my comrades that are stuck in that hellhole, not some faceless NPCs who love trump and wholeheartedly support the decline towards theocratic fascism. That’s our home as much as it is the fuckin nazis’, and it sucks shit to be lumped in with them just because we’re not gung ho about completely starting over when we barely scraped by to begin with.
Fuck you.
y’all pray for ERCOT
ERCOT had one serious outage in 2021, is that what you’re talking about about?
Among Texas voters, about 45% reliably vote blue. Fuck 'em all though, right?
A good business opportunity: a home swap for blue voters in red states and red voters in blue states, so that the Texas seceding dream can happen.
just give the shithole back to mexico
