Yay! Nobody Cares about being a Real Man

[Jopsy Pendragon]

Men, ditch the gay look, grow a beard, & get strong.

beard & strong -is- the gay look these days, ijit.

Hey Moron ... sperm don't know the difference between the epithelial cells in a mouth and those found in testis, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicle and urethra. So if 'sperm on the brain' is a problem for anyone, men would be at the front of that line.

I fear an infestation of the dreaded Spine Sperm!

Makes me think of the Isaac Asimov quote:

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

You know these guys have no real science education, but they won't let that stop them from speaking with ALL the confidence in the world!

That's the thing that keeps tripping me up! It shouldn't be funny that someone is this ignorant about how human bodies work. I don't want to laugh when I see something like this. But...when guys spout stuff like this and they are so confident and matter-of-fact in their delivery it becomes hilarious. Arrrgh!

I feel like I should and want to laugh at these people but can't. ...because it scares me to death that so many people are this ignorant and they often cast votes or even harass people based on their absurdly ignorant beliefs.

I'm not sure he's completely wrong. I got some of that stuff in me one time three times and got horrible parasites from it. It took 9 months to get over them, and you really would not believe how they leave your body.

 

[Isabeau]

Jesus, I read that quickly and didn’t get it at first. I was stuck on the parasites you got from sperm three times (assuming from the same guy) and they left your body (worms?) and you were just sharing all this with us…

and I was like oh my ghad that’s gross ha ha

My work here is done.

It baffles me that they're so grotesquely ignorant of human reproduction. In the UK, it would be pretty difficult to leave school without a basic understanding of human fertilisation and pregnancy.

I PROMISE you that American schools teach correct information. My family moved a lot so I know that different school districts can teach the same things at different times, but they all do put it in there eventually and it is accurate stuff. You learn about it all in your 5th or 6th grade science class and then you go over it again in high school health class.

So all of the younger men who spout this garbage, I can say for 100% certain that "millennial" or newer for sure WERE properly educated as kids, and at some point they un-learned the facts and replaced them with these wildly wrong ideas. It's not a failure of the education system, it's a personal choice these guys make afterwards.

To me it all seems like just another part of the whole thing where so many people are shifting their knowledge and understanding of the world from science-based to identity-based.

I promise you Americans learn this stuff too... to be this ignorant you either have to be homeschooled, or be hell bent on not paying attention.

I'd assumed that American schools must teach this, too (though perhaps not for much longer, at least in Florida). That's what puzzles me -- how people are able to replace what should be non-contentious scientific facts with their own opinions. People don't dispute -- or most people don't, anyway -- that water boils at 100° centigrade or that plants grow towards sunlight.

The schools teach us that the Earth is round, how gravity (and magnets!) works and that humanity landed on the moon. And yet...

There is a 2 fold problem (at least). The best schools can't just force a terrible student to pay attention and absorb the information. I do sometimes see good faith questions asked online about information that they were surely taught but didn't absorb. But I think the bigger problem is proud anti-intellectualism among many (mostly right wing, but some hippies as well) Americans and some rural Europeans as well. Following from that Asimov quote I posted I think many people feel threatened by this cabal of "scientists" who are smarter and know better than them so they find it more comforting to just make everything up and convince themselves that's just as good since "scientists" can be wrong too.

I've also thought a lot about how some conspiracy wackos I've met seem very attracted to anything that feels like a "secret." [[THEY]] want you to believe the Earth is a sphere but I'm so smart, I figured out it's flat!!! IT's absurd and painful and would be funny if it wasn't such a growing problem.

I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised, considering stuff like this
