@thatguyoverthere "In China, tomboys are called "假小子" (jiá xiao zi), which literally translates as "pseudo-boy". This term is largely used as a derogatory term to describe those girls with masculine characteristics. Most of the times calling someone a "假小子" is a humiliation which implies that the individual could not find a boyfriend. This largely reduces the value of women to only romance and diminishes girls' confidence in working in what is traditionally defined as the "boy's realm.""
You might find this interesting to learn because it uses a similar shaming technique.
-
@thatguyoverthere Yeah, it is similar to how the word sissy is used to shame boys/men into being less effeminate and more masculine.
-
@thatguyoverthere Yeah, especially at such an early time in history compared to some other words. Maybe they were using it to shame girls into not being rude?

"In 1533, according to the Oxford Dictionary of English, "tomboy" was used to mean a "rude, boisterous or forward boy". By the 1570s, however, "tomboy” had taken on the meaning of a "a bold or immodest woman", finally, in the late 1590s and early 1600s, the term morphed into its current meaning: "a girl who behaves like a spirited or boisterous boy; a wild romping girl.""
-
@thatguyoverthere Could be. I wonder if they also prefer men to be men rather than imitating women/girls?

"The discourse of straight-acting produces and reproduces anti-femininity and homophobia (Clarkson. 2006). For example, feminine gay men are often labeled "fem," "bitchy," "pissy," "sissy," or "queen" (e.g., Christian, 2005; Clarkson, 2006; Payne,2007). They are perceived as if they perform like "women," spurring straight-acting gay men to have negative attitudes toward feminine-acting gay men (Clarkson, 2006; Payne, 2007;Ward, 2000). This is called sissyphobia (Bergling, 2001). Kimmel (1996) supports that "masculinity has been (historically) defined as the flight from women and the repudiation of femininity" (p. 123). Thus, sissyphobia plays as the communication strategy for straight-acting gay men to justify and empower their masculinity. (p. 38)."
What does straight-acting gay men even mean?

>We need the government to maintain the infrastructure.
Mfw I literally can't remember a time that the government paid to renew the pavements where I am. If you are lucky, they will fill in pot holes on the pavements... but no guarantee that it will be evenly filled in so it remains a tripping hazard.
I guess they never promised to renew the pavements, just the roads. Then they wonder why people don't want to walk if they can help it.

I don't know why people think that a war against other nations is worse than a civil war against your own nation. They are still both wars and lots of people get harmed. Although one could argue that it is worse to bomb your own people. Because where do you go from there?
-
@leyonhjelm But which one is worse? A government turned against its own people or one against people from other governments?
-
@leyonhjelm But isn't it worse when your own side stabs you in the back?
-
@PhenomX6 @sj_zero The more that I hear about them, the more that them being controlled opposition rings true. It is a shame that it has come to this point. Was it always this way?
-
@colinsmatt11 @PhenomX6 @sj_zero That would make sense then. Beginning to think that no one can be trusted that provide these services. It really is like choosing between the lesser of evils.

@augustus @apropos This doesn't end well for Ukraine nor for their history and culture being preserved when it is bombed. I don't know why Ukraine can't just be neutral... oh wait, it's that oil again, isn't it?
-
@thatguyoverthere That is a sweet story that it brought joy to you. It is the simple things.

@realcaseyrollins I made a really long post on this but just lost it, alas.
To write it in a nutshell, I don't think that development happened in the way you are thinking here. I think that Pleroma and Mastodon were happening around the same time, Pleroma met a need for GNU Social as the code was a mess. Mastodon made it harder to focus on this as Pleroma tried to keep compatible with the changes it kept making without regard to the rest of the fediverse. Mastodon literally broke things that needed someone else to fix, moved over to activitypub which made things stop working (GS didn't have scopes so you missed a lot of the timeline, for example. GS was public.), and it doesn't seem like gargron was the type to collab back then. He wanted to write Mastodon in his own way and it didn't matter how it impacted the rest of the fediverse. It was a mess. I don't say it was a net-negative lightly. I think that the fediverse has had trouble with funding and development in general, and you could say that the modern softwares fractured that further. They are still behind GNU Social on certain features, they had to start all over which set things backwards. On saying this, you could argue it was necessary to start over with a better coding language. So there are pros and cons related.
-
@thatguyoverthere Hopefully we can pass on good tastes for the next generations so we can avoid this.
-
@thatguyoverthere Awh, now that is a despairing image to have!
-
@thatguyoverthere Yes, and then they will have to try and keep them away from earlier films so they don't realise how crap films made for a modern audience really are, how generic they make everything despite claiming to champion diversity.
-
@thatguyoverthere Yeah, I can see how something like this can stick in your mind. Especially with it happening so quickly.
-
@thatguyoverthere That's what I thought too. Maybe one day they will magically create it for themselves, perhaps with enough indoctrination of the younger generations...
