Sexism against women is not having enough parasitic worms named after them, sexism against men is being used as cannon fodder.

[+]FrequentFlier3 -121 points-120 points-119 points 4 years ago (13 children) | Copy Link

Id say sexism against women is more like a bunch of bitter misogynists comparing women to parasitic worms and wondering why they are constantly being dismissed as incels.

[–]PQKN051502 26 points27 points28 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Actually the original comment was not comparing women to anything. It is a reply to the article. If you have read the article, you will see it.

But it will look bad taken out of context. It looks like an insult to be honest.

Throwing shades and witty disses won't help men and might get the entire subreddit to be suspended. I don't support this kind of behavior either.

[–]Fearless-File-3625 69 points70 points71 points 4 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link

Still better than being used as cannon fodder.

[+]PQKN051502 -30 points-29 points-28 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

I don't know how you are helping men. Do something practical and focus on the main issues men face instead of useless back and forth arguing.

[–]Fearless-File-3625 18 points19 points20 points 4 years ago* (2 children) | Copy Link

I don't why you are mad at me, I always liked your posts.

Yeah you are probably correct, I am feeding trolls too much these days.

[–]Embarrassed-Lemon-69 9 points10 points11 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Friendly reminder to not feed the trolls. Good day sir.

[–]Poopypants413413 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Meh… I’d rather a parasitic worm be named after me than be cannon fodder.

[+]FrequentFlier3 -50 points-49 points-48 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

True. Sexism isn't a big deal because Americans were conscripted 50 years ago.

[–]Fearless-File-3625 28 points29 points30 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Take a look: https://www.mapsofworld.com/ you need it, bitter misandrist.

[+]FrequentFlier3 -40 points-39 points-38 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Yeah. Im a misandrist because I don't think we should compare women... to parasitic worms.

Imagine the loops your brain has go through for that to make sense.

[–]Fearless-File-3625 28 points29 points30 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

No, you are a misandrist because you think conscription "isn't a big deal because Americans were conscripted 50 years ago".

Why are you trying to insult my intelligence? when you talk as if US is the only country in the world.

Little bitter misandrist.

[–]AndyBrown65 8 points9 points10 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

LOL. You sound like some feminist who is “undercover” to expose the evil patriarchy

[–]BlindMaestro 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Having a new species of worm named after you is considered an honor. The article is lamenting the fact that so few are named for female scientists compared to male scientists. Quit being a moron.

[–]Dixie___Normous 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Throwaway account.

Thats all I have to say.

Also definetly a feminist in disguise.

You really need to try harder than that.

[–]FourFsOfLife 47 points48 points49 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

Just imagine if they were more often named after women

[–]neveragoodtime 22 points23 points24 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Pretty much what happened to hurricanes.

[–]ABeeBox 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Underrated comment

[–]The_Great_Sarcasmo 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

There was a genuine scientific paper published that got mainstream media attention claiming that hurricanes with female names had higher death tolls (up to three times higher) because people had implicit sexist biases and were likely to judge "female" hurricanes as being less threatening and hence take less preventive measures.

The study was debunked after it was pointed out that it included hurricanes from between 1953 and 1978 when deaths tolls were higher and all storms had female names.

Imagine coming out with something like that and calling yourself a scientist.

[–]MiddleReasonable647 33 points34 points35 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Of all things to demand gender parity for…..good grief maybe we need a world war to give us something important to worry about. Oh yeah, Russia invaded ukraine…..but let’s whine about naming bugs.

[–]Suddenly_Sisyphus42 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Oh, I thought it was gonna be about women complaining that scientists named too many parasites after their ex-wives lol.

[–]bulletkiller06 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Tbf, the problem is that more things are being named after men in the scientific feild in general, but, like, if it matters so much then why don't more women just name things they discover after themselves?

[–]buried_alive0 11 points12 points13 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Because women aren't discovering things? It'd be extremely random if male scientists started naming their discoveries after women.

[–]testingOne2Threee 18 points19 points20 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

No one should be comparing women to parasitic worms. Parasitic worms require a host organism for survival which is far better than requiring one for shopping money.

[–]thisherepoo 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Sooooo lazy housewife, right? Sounds like a good portion of the US.

[–]TendieDinner777 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I mean, everyone has a name…

[–]saturdayshark 16 points17 points18 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Maybe women need to find more species to name themselves after

[–]Kinexity 11 points12 points13 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

No, no, you see for the sake of equality men should find the new species and give away naming rights to women.

[–]Embarrassed-Lemon-69 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Oh, of course! How could we have been so ignorant?

[–]AgentOrangeMRA 9 points10 points11 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Until 1979, the hurricane name lists were made up only of women's names, but because of claims that the naming convention was sexist, the lists of names for hurricanes and tropical storms after 1979 have alternated between men's names and women's names. Even then they ended up still not satisfied. Here is why and I'll quote -

"Hurricanes with feminine names are more deadly than storms given masculine monikers because people take them less seriously, a study has claimed."

And now they want to bitch because there aren't enough parasitic worms named after them? I rightly say that we should generously name all parasitic worms after Feminists.

[–]Embarrassed-Lemon-69 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Seconded. Who do you want to start with?

[–]thisherepoo 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

That's because there are too many women to give individual names.

[–]rocker12341234 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

lol i can just imagine it now "sorry sir, i regret to inform you youve contracted gold digger"

[–]DirtyPartyMan 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

They can rename and have all of them

[–]Running_Gamer 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I can’t believe that people waste their time studying this shit

Peak publish or perish mentality. When publishers get woke points for publishing this crap, and scientists want an easy publication, they just print some woke shit.

[–]Cr0wSt0rm 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

This was my first thought. I really hope that this study was funded privately. Imagine having a very nice degree and using it to piss people off at each other

[–]mikesteane 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

These "experts", what exactly is their expertise in?

You mean to tell me "Anita Sarkeesian" isn't a parasitic worm?

[–]smollpp- 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I hereby decree that all parasites should be named after women.

[–]DomDotCom13 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I know a lot of parasitic worms - they were all women.

[–]PQKN051502 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Not related to men's rights 🤷‍♂️

[–]fallensamurai77 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

As if you and your misandrist subreddits do anything for women's rights.

[–]PQKN051502 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Go check out the subreddits I post in. Did you even tap on my profile and see?

Is this a Babylon Bee article?

[–]PQKN051502 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

I don't know how posts like this are going to be helpful.

And also the comments making jokes down there... Do they want to help men or all they want to do is make men look bad and get the entire subreddit banned?

Be practical or else. Don't follow mgtow footsteps.

And also don't give people reasons to hate on us. Don't give them materials to use against us..

Wait women and parasitic worms aren’t the same thing…?
