Study shows that men experience the flu/cold more severe than women because of estrogen

[–]Apexbreed 24 points25 points26 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Yet men still call in sick less...

[–]Lethn 11 points12 points13 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

They also don't go to the doctor as much.

[–]withershins_incavato 12 points13 points14 points 9 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

True, yet unnecessary to even demonstrate—lying low and putting yourself under quarantine when you're ill is not only the faster path to recuperation, it's also the socially responsible and considerate thing to do to prevent the people you live and work with from becoming ill as well.

By "powering through" a respiratory infection or viral rhinopharyngitis, the strong womyn who cry "manflu" take longer to recover and expose more people to the sickness then the men who stay home sick.

[–]KamiNekoSama 19 points20 points21 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

What?! A man who is sick?! Not being productive?! Shame him! Shame him!

[–]Markuz 16 points17 points18 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

If this is going to be a thing, perhaps we can bring back diagnoses of female hysteria.

[–]illCodeYouABrain 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

If it helped boost sales of Echo Dot, they totally would have brought it back.

[–]by_myself 14 points15 points16 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I suggest the following corrections:

Woman - "Alexa what's the definition of 'man flu'"
Alexa - "'Man flu' is a sexist term women use to disparage men who get sick and need to rest instead of working themselves to an early grave so their materialistic wives can buy more shit they don't need."

[–]feedmecarrots 14 points15 points16 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Advertisers see it as open season on men all year long. Now, here is another merchant I can't buy from.

[–]Allergic_to_hams 5 points6 points7 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yeah! Get back to work you lazy bum! /s

[–]Drezzzire 6 points7 points8 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Shit is infiltrating every part of our society. How the hell do they not expect some men to be so fed up that they begin resenting women for their hatred of men?

I see man hating bullshit in every facet of entertainment/advertising available now. It's in movies, music, magazines, commercials, billboards etc.

It's becoming pandemic! This shit has gotten out of hand and is spiraling out of control.

The point isn't that 'it's just a commercial' The point is the ideology behind the making of such commercial.

If it were a commercial degrading women in any form or fashion, there would be marches, talk show discussions, Twitter feeds, YouTube channels etc. blowing up with outrage.

Point being, it's unacceptable and the hypocrisy is infuriating.

Once you start to see how this man hating message is literally everywhere, you begin to feel trapped as if it's inescapable. I can't turn on the tv, read a magazine or even just surf the Internet for 'news' without being bombarded with how much greater females are than males.

I, for one, am fucking sick of it

I would fully expect the next Ad with the female voice asking "Alexa, what is mansplaining?"

TAKE ACTION - Write Jeff Bezos directly
[email protected]
subject: A heartbeat from canceling Prime
body: Write something thoughtful such as:

Dear Jeff
Your most recent add lies about the economic engine of America.
Do you really need to put down the primary wage earners in America to pander to the narcissistic vanity of a small minority of women?

OK - Jeff probably doesn't directly monitor this email any longer, but he does have a dedicated team who will take note.

EDIT - sorry, reddit isn't happy with my mailto link :(
EDIT 2: got rid of the link because I was downvoted for trying to do something positive (advocating for men) and making it easy to cut and paste a mailto: hyperlink. -- sigh

[+]BustaRhymesIAmSciFi points 9 years ago* [recovered] (3 children) | Copy Link

Single "d" in ad because it is short for advertisement.

[–]AnotherDAM -1 points0 points1 point 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

So, your very best is to try and shame me for misspelling?

If you spend your life finding inconsequential flaws in other people (presumably to make yourself feel better) you are going to miss out on alot (sic)

[+]BustaRhymesIAmSciFi points 9 years ago* [recovered] (1 child) | Copy Link

I corrected you because you were wrong. I consistently used a phrase incorrectly for more than a decade. Countless people heard me say something that made me look ignorant and many of them undoubtedly knew that I was using the phrase incorrectly but never bothered to correct me. When someone finally corrected me I thanked them. I will never misuse that phrase again because of them.

When I see someone else who is saying or writing something that makes them look ignorant I correct them because I would want someone else to do the same for me. I didn't insult or mock you in any capacity. I simply told you what was wrong and why it was wrong. For some reason you lack the capacity to accept constructive criticism and view it as a personal attack. That's not my problem, good luck with that.

[–]AnotherDAM 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I consistently used a phrase incorrectly for more than a decade.

Projecting your insecurities onto others is a vice well worth getting over.

You didn't correct a "phrase" or a consistent misuse - you corrected a typo, literally a single "d". Because of that typo it appears you lost the ability to track an argument. OMG - A typo!!!, entire point invalidated -- STACK OVERFLOW.

When I see someone else who is saying or writing something that makes them look ignorant I correct them because I would want someone else to do the same for me.

If this were true it would have been a PM. Instead you are actually attempting to publicly shame me (feminism technique).

And isn't how dialog works - we are talking about a topic, YOU are attempting to move us off topic, see above.

I am inspired that you could restrain yourself from correcting "alot", or perhaps you just missed it.

Cheers

No Echo Dot for this consumer.
