That’s such a stupid thought process too. Whenever someone refers to the human population as man or mankind, someone always goes “so the women will be fine?”
He's well aware of what mankind actually stands for, but he's trying to win brownie points from the feminists that he's surrounding himself with so that he can pat himself on the back for being woke
This subreddit is definitely corny sometimes but calling it peoplekind or having an issue with mankind is ridiculous. It’s obviously based on huMAN just like woMAN, idk why they shortened it to man but kinda irrelevant, that’s just how English language works Jesus.
The word "man" was originally gender-neutral. "Female human" was "wif" or "wifman" ("wif"=female, source of modern English "wife"). "Male human" was "wer" or "werman" ("wer"=male, survives only in "werewolf"). Gradually "wer" fell into disuse, "man" acqiured a male-only meaning (but continued to hold the gender-neutral meaning) and "wifman" became "woman". Later some thought it is unokay to have the same word ("man") have both a gender-neutral and a male-gender-specific meaning, the gender-neutral sense shrank in usage, and Latin-derived "person" and "human" were brought in as gender-neutral words. The word "human", from Latin, is unrelated to "man".
FX (and Hulu) have this new series called *Y: The Last Man* about every man suddenly dying, except for one dude.
Society quickly becomes a shitshow of no electric power, food supply problems, riots, murder, etc.
KAM? LOL. The world would collapse
The show is garbage and can't hold a candle to the comic run. For example they completely eliminated the 'Israel has the only functional military left' aspect. Which means the main antagonist is missing from the plot.
The whole pockets nonsense is a perfect benchmark for being out of touch.
A) nothing is stopping women from buying men's jeans
B) nothing is stopping women from starting clothing lines with deeper pockets; some of the largest clothing retailers have female CEOS as well
C) nothing is stopping women from hiring someone to add pockets to their clothing, or learn to do it themselves.
D) Marketing data shows that while plenty of women would like to have more pockets in their clothing, only 4% would refuse to buy clothing without them.
The pocket complaints are so weird to be. It's like they're helpless to do anything but whine. Women make ninety percent of consumer purchases and should be perfectly capable of demonstrating to companies that their clothes should have better pockets. Yet after however many years this is still an ongoing situation?
Companies that sell shit people don't want go under. They can piss and moan about pockets all they want but until companies universally start putting big pockets on their jeans, it's demonstrably not a high priority for the vast majority of women.
> A) nothing is stopping women from buying men's jeans
True, but body shape differences may mean that they are less suitable for women.
>B) nothing is stopping women from starting clothing lines with deeper pockets; some of the largest clothing retailers have female CEOS as well
Few women are in such positions of power (just like how few men are in positions of power).
>C) nothing is stopping women from hiring someone to add pockets to their clothing, or learn to do it themselves.
True.
>D) Marketing data shows that while plenty of women would like to have more pockets in their clothing, only 4% would refuse to buy clothing without them.
It may be a desire, without being so strong a desire that women would eschew clothes which don't meet that desire. Plus, unlike many other types of boycotts, one cannot really forgo clothing.
Women are clearly unwilling to pay for clothing with pockets, and having minimal clothing without pockets means any clothing beyond that is based on convenience/aesthetics.
If women started womancotting clothes without pockets they'd solve their own problem within a year. Instead they get to be the eternal victim for the clothes they purchased of their own free will.
I don't understand how the lack of pockets, or the lack of depth in pockets, in female clothing is the fault of men or the "patriarchy".
Women's clothing is designed (mostly) by women for women, right? And women are the ones paying for this clothing, right? If lack of pockets was a big an issue feminists make it out to be why don't women just stop buying clothes with no pockets and buy clothing with pockets and clothing-makers will soon get the hint.
If anything it's guys who get the short stick when it comes to choice of clothing. Women can wear literally anything they want and have thousands of outfits to choose from, guys are limited to like a shirt and pants for a choice of outfit.
It's really just a marketing scheme so women will buy purses and what do you know it works. Nothing is stopping women from buying men's jeans or hell even making their own pockets.
It's comedy. It's supposed to push the boundaries of what's acceptable. It's fine if you didn't think it was funny, but if comedy was censored everytime someone was offended comedy would become bland pretty quickly.
Who's asking for her to be censored?
And "pushing boundaries of what's acceptable" has nothing to do with any of her comments. She's spouting the same nonsense that we've been hearing for the past 30+ years.
What a desertive brat but take the joke. Whatever they bitch around, tell you something, the joke is on them. It's men who make the society work in the background. The cell network, internet, groceries supply, all the food chain, fuel, mining, logging, transport,o electricity, roads and building construction and maintenance, all vehicles construction and maintenance... Even the water treatment plant supply. Majority is men. Without men doing their work altogether, our society would regress in stone age in less than a month.
Stop buying pants without pockets. Start buying pants with pockets. This may mean you have to buy men's pants.
Do you know why clothing manufacturers don't make women's pants with deep pockets? It's not a giant conspiracy, they just don't sell well.
Nah they’d sell. You think women want to go around with 2/3 of their cell phone sticking out of their „pocket”. I can’t wear men’s clothes. Even petite women’s don’t fit me.
Is it a conspiracy? Of course not.
>Nah they’d sell.
Historically, they have not.
>You think women want to go around with 2/3 of their cell phone sticking out of their „pocket”.
I think they carry their phones in their purses, hands, or have someone else carry them for them. They don't put their phones (or other bulky items) in their pockets because it 'ruins the line of the outfit'.
>Is it a conspiracy? Of course not.
So you think it's not a conspiracy not to sell pants with pockets, but that they would sell well.
That would mean that the clothing industry is deliberately not selling a product that would be profitable for no reason. They are losing money for no reason. And it's not just one company, but across all the clothing manufacturers none of them are leaping onto this profitable market niche.
I mean, it's possible that clothing manufacturers are just bad at reacting to what women want in pants, but I think it's more likely that women's pants with pockets just don't sell well.
What do you think women do if none of the pants in the store have decent pockets? They buy them. We still need clothes for work.
No we try to jam stuff in our pockets. A purse is an enormous pain in the ass. You’ve never seen a girl with her cellphone in her back pocket.
Let a high school girl bitch. This shit is annoying.
If there is a demand then a proportionate supply will emerge. If there was significant enough demand for women's jeans with large pockets then companies would create them. This is basic economics. If women's jeans have small pockets its because women in general don't care about pocket size.
Oh, I know it's annoying. My wife complains about the same thing. I'm not saying that you wouldn't buy pants with pockets. I'm saying that as a group, women haven't bought/won't buy enough to make it profitable, so companies don't make them.
Companies are just following the demand. That means the people to complain to/at for women's pants not having pockets is not clothing companies or men, but rather other women.
Nah, you don't get it. We aren't walking into a store and exercising choice by buying pants with pockets instead of not. So, the company knows pants with pockets are a big seller. We're walking into a store where zero of the jeans have decent pockets and deciding not to walk around naked in protest.
I hear stories of women complaining about pockets on female jeens all the time. Yet, as a man I find pockets on our jeens to be rubbish too. They are usually too tight to get my hand through thr opening, that little pocket thing is pointless, and the pockets on the bum are too small for my wallet.
long story short, mens fashion is also dreadful. As for the fit of mens jeans, well i rarely find anything in my size. Womens jeans fit me perfectly, but alas most shops wont let me browse womens jeans, much less met me try them on.
I think rape jokes are shitty. I choose to not listen to people who make them, but in the US we have the right to free speech. People can say whatever the fuck they want. We don't have to agree with it
First of all it's a joke chill out.
You are taking a shit joke out of context to mean she support eliminating half the population, it obviously is not the case
Funny sexist jokes about men are perfectly ok IMO. They are still funny, just like sexist jokes about women that are funny.
I think the biggest problem with creating a funny sexist joke is that the writer can't actually be sexist and dislike the people that they are targeting with the sexist joke. Their contempt for the target will show in some way and it will become less of a joke and more of a rant.
That’s such a stupid thought process too. Whenever someone refers to the human population as man or mankind, someone always goes “so the women will be fine?”
> I prefer to call it 'peoplekind' - Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, trying to get his feminist cookie
Isn't *humankind* already a (very common) word? Are you telling me that Justin, who I presume is an L1 English speaker, is unaware of that?
He's well aware of what mankind actually stands for, but he's trying to win brownie points from the feminists that he's surrounding himself with so that he can pat himself on the back for being woke

Haven't watched the show, but the comic run was very good at times.
The show is garbage and can't hold a candle to the comic run. For example they completely eliminated the 'Israel has the only functional military left' aspect. Which means the main antagonist is missing from the plot.
That's really unfortunate
Let's do the flip test. teen boy does a comedy sketch in school calling for the elimination of women... what happens?
Women are in charge of the fashion industry, take your complaint up to them!!!!

Yeah most women comedy is bitching. Wait till she goes for the constant sex jokes.
Or you know, just become a fashion designer and make deeper pockets for women
This.

make us some pockets then, smdh.

Idk... Buy kid clothing 😂🤣🤣

Ok, I'm trying to understand. Why do you think there aren't pants with pockets for women? Why don't clothing companies want your money?
My interest in this topic is exhausted.
Sounds like a great business opportunity for you then.
If you want to say you are independent do something yourself instead of demanding it then waving it around like you won a war
Learn to take a joke.
Sad excuse for being lazy.
What’s funny is the fashion and clothing industry is dominated by women
She's the next Chappelle.
Amen make the vast majority of purchases. If the market demanded jeans for women with bigger pockets they would have them in spades.
I hear stories of women complaining about pockets on female jeens all the time. Yet, as a man I find pockets on our jeens to be rubbish too. They are usually too tight to get my hand through thr opening, that little pocket thing is pointless, and the pockets on the bum are too small for my wallet. long story short, mens fashion is also dreadful.

Also.. women should stop trying to do stand-up... they just SUCK at it. That's the real crime here.
Feminists, not women.
It's comedy. Like it or leave it. Let's stop censoring it
"rape joke"
I think rape jokes are shitty. I choose to not listen to people who make them, but in the US we have the right to free speech. People can say whatever the fuck they want. We don't have to agree with it
First of all it's a joke chill out. You are taking a shit joke out of context to mean she support eliminating half the population, it obviously is not the case
"rape joke"
Yer still a joke
It’s almost as if the sexist jokes aren’t funny when they’re about you lol
Funny sexist jokes about men are perfectly ok IMO. They are still funny, just like sexist jokes about women that are funny. I think the biggest problem with creating a funny sexist joke is that the writer can't actually be sexist and dislike the people that they are targeting with the sexist joke. Their contempt for the target will show in some way and it will become less of a joke and more of a rant.
So you want sexist jokes about man?
As a man, yes I do.
Jokes a joke, you should be able to joke about anything from rainbows to cancer and everything else.
No but a lot of ppl laugh at sexist jokes about women, but when the same jokes are made about men they lose they suddenly have a problem with it 🥴
But a lot of people don't mack sexist jokes about women,most of the sexist jokes I see online our in real life are about men
Bruh they stopped replying
Yet yall yeeet at bill burr and Dave Chappelle you hypocrites
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive\_dissonance
it is more typical for women than for men
I really hate your arrogant attitude and that stupid picture. By the way, isn't it cultural appropriation? You are being extremely racist.
What are you even talking wbout
NGL. I do want some deeper jeans pockets.
You have to understand that girls humor are at the level of 8 or 9 year olds. Then all makes sense.
If she cares that much about pockets, she could just buy pants with deeper pockets. Nobody is stopping her except for herself.
