Once again, girls are somehow responsible for boys’ inability to behave 🤦
Once again there appears to be more to this story than the poor quality article linked suggests.
Here's the quotes:
What context am I missing?
Retaliating against your opponents for beating you in a game isn't normal, but on Patriarchy it is.
Patriarchy, not even once.
That's really not what i am getting from this article at all.
[emphasis added]
Where "once again" is the boys inability to behave? All i see is adults wanting to dodge POTENTIAL liability.
Beyond that there is the question about their participation in the league itself. Here there are as i see it two sides:
They participated through deception (listing as mail AND apparently fielding a male team in the first game)
Or one can be on the side that the system is broken and they should have been allowed to participate in the first place.
Again something that adults decide. Not sure if we have enough information to judge this properly.
Not sure why i spend much time on this nonesense, especially since i find this to be a pretty poor article (as is any that just randomly quotes social media users to make its point).
All men should really learn to behave. Even the well-behaved ones.
What does this even mean? I'm genuinely curious.
Honestly, I think that was supposed to be kinky?
You and me both buddy.
This whole thread is a lowest common denominator extravaganza, I'm actually shocked at the lack of critical thinking. People read a headline and get riled up without asking questions, and if you do, you're a homophobic racist antihuman piece of shit. What a fucking echo chamber. Was lemmy acquired by Tumblr without telling anyone? Reddit has higher standards than this.
It's funny how 12 people downvoted me, and 15 people "genuinely didn't understand". So, did you downvote first, then realized that you didn't even get it? That's how the right wing thinks and acts.
Downvotes are for poor quality posts that don't contribute to the discussion. If people “genuinely didn’t understand” your post they should downvote it, because you did not explain yourself well enough to contribute to the discussion.
Come now, we both know that is a lie.
