Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I've never in my entire life heard a single person say that all men are trash. I think you're either lying or exaggerating, and you haven't either.
Pointing out that some men do horrible things is a common observation. Asking that men stop other men from doing bad things is another thing that could sounds burdensome. I can see how these types of statements might upset you if you're missing the context or the speaker is unclear. But neither of them is equivalent to saying that all men are trash.
Here, this was on network television: https://youtube.com/shorts/fpEjHCW-lLk
Then you had the whole man vs bear shit that went viral.
Maybe actually look instead of burying your head in sand and calling people liars. Now go move some goal posts.
Wonder why men are turning away
the irony is so much of this disoc2urse parallels the rape discourse.
'well i haven't been raped so if you got raped it is your fault or your lying' ' well i don't experience misogyny, so therefore nobody hates women ever and you are making it up'
the pushback is always of the form 'why is that that women get raped' it's that 'if you got raped its your fault and maybe you shouldn't wear provocative clothing or drink or go out at night'
just like here it's not 'why are men voting right' it's 'if men are unhappy and vote right they should be even unhappier and be punished'
