Smart. So many downvotes for expressing an opinion that is basically just “maybe don’t accuse all men of shitty, sexist behavior?”

And then the responses that are basically “this form of prejudice is okay because of reason x, y, and z” or “i know weren’t talking about me so its okay”.

Nice.

Turn a blind eye, got it.

100%. Also, I can’t believe people are down voting this comment. I guess people love the hypocrisy? Why do I even bother.

Seeing as how it says “guys”, you’re just choosing to ignore the plain-face meaning in favor of your own interpretation. If you reverse the gender roles, everyone would be going wild about it being anti-women. Choosing not to act is the same as choosing to enable sexist behavior, whether you like it or not.

It’s annoying to have never called a woman emotional, and then to be called emotional in response to something I’ve never done.

Its almost like whoever made this meme is doing the exact same thing they’re complaining about–hilarious.

I think the difference is that blacksmiths created things that were tangibly useful, that people needed, and that they needed in large quantities quickly and cheaply. The whole point of art is that it does not have real-world usefulness, past the enjoyment of it for the sake of the enjoyment of it.

For example, people frequently refer to cars as “art”, because they are beautiful, but “beauty” isn’t necessarily the same as “art”. Cars are beautiful because they invoke the principles of art, whatever they may be. The base principles themselves are complex and intangible, and you’d be hard-presses to find a book that explained what art actually is, because it is not well defined.

Only people can do art, as far as we know. AI can only produce things that resemble art, and they have only been able to do so by copying what real people have done. If real artists stop outputting material, there will never be an original artistic expression created ever again.

AI may be able to generate clip art and pretty text, but nobody is going to flock to the theaters, or attend auctions to acquire what is basically clip art.

This is not at all like creating a metal blade, imo. The tech bros just don’t understand art.

Absolutely disgusting

There really is no other interpretation. Who can look at this and possibly suggest that they are on our side?

Just here trying to create an emotional and practical safe zone for myself, family, and my friends, and fuck the rest of 'em

Not true. The original poster was suggesting that someone just randomly give away something to somebody else. Analogies are always imperfect, and I’m surprised that I have to explain that to you.

Neither of them own the original thing. Just because you contribute to something, doesn’t mean you deserve part of it. Contribution was optional in the first place, and in the case of the employee, they are paid.

Instead of posing ridiculous arguments like trying to distribute companies among “the workers”, most of which probably don’t even care in the first place, why not just fight for a better minimum wage so its a non-issue?

See my response to the other comments. I what I’m getting at is that the premise of the original comment was ridiculous and nobody will ever get on board with it, much less politicians. Instead of offering ridiculous, impossible solutions that make us look like idiots, why don’t we just go for something reasonable like a better minimum wage? Then people will be prosperous enough to start their own companies, if they desire. Not everyone wants to own their own company or share the responsibility of such a thing.

I see what you’re saying, but the point I’m trying to make is that neither of them own the company or the car, so why should they receive that sort of benefit? If I pick trash up from the side of the road, should that land become mine? If I’m a handyman and I’ve been paid to work on someone’s fence, do I deserve a share of that fence? No.

This is the same as owning a car, and then someone walks up to you on the street and says “consider giving your car to that man who is walking”.

What about the stock market? Are people with 401ks parasites?

Just a pick a new job from the magical job tree, where jobs are free and plentiful and ripe for the taking

Didn’t verify, but someone said it was only reversed in like one out of the five proposed states. Figures

The people that have been put in charge have literally said that things are going to get worse and more expensive. Why not believe them?

Not every county, city, or location has this rule.

Why are you assuming my gender?
