I do think that there is a difference in the psychological motivation behind why men or women get tattoos.
For men, tattoos are to express machismo and toughness. For women, it’s an act of self-harm and self-mutilation similar to cutting and suicide attempts.
Neither particularly psychologically healthy to be clear, but one is a bit worse than the other.
I'm not afraid of much (more than three other men attacking me, big dogs, fire, baby rodents).
But, I dislike many things, and radical/sincere Islam is just obviously one of those. https://t.co/LewF4T8lmY

Same. Living in an Islamic country made me an Islamaphobe. I was not one before that, nor did I think about Islam much one way or the other.
They need to consider, like, trying civilization sometime. And not hating women.
In PRACTICE, a massive amount of "CRT" and feminist theory just breaks down to "I can do that (be racist) but you can't…neener neener."
One of the most eye-opening things I've done recently was my lil' book polls, where different groups are just swapped in and out of an…

Honestly at this point I wonder if the average American is just inherently too decel and degrowth for it to be fixed. The right is obviously all these things but the modern left is as well. Third solutions are just unviable due to being too small. "Wat do". https://t.co/AInonXETY9

Both parties are decel and degrowth, I agree.
The right’s, “Science is evil if it is disagrees with Big Sky Daddy or the quarterly report and batteries are gay” or the left’s, “We need to take away everything that makes life worth living and space is ‘nerd fantasy'” are both just pathways to ceding the future to someone else.
So that is what is happening and what will continue to happen.
Another thought. I am not dating, but if I were I’d appreciate tattoos as they are a clear and immediate signal of a low-value, impulsive woman.
So they would be a net win for me overall, and for any guy who has something to offer. And I love things like that because they make my life far easier. Costly signals such as tattoos or a filthy place are extremely valuable as you can’t fake nor easily hide them. Win/win.
All kidding aside, I think ubiquitous tattoos are the worst thing to happen culturally and aesthetically in several hundred years.
Just foul, foul, foul.
God my partner and I really need our own planet. With robots to do everything.
People are a total loss.
Also: tattoos probably fuck up your immune system right good and likely lead to a far greater chance of cancer.
So, FAFO I guess.
When I’m in a hiring position, I’m far less likely to hire someone with tattoos (of either gender).
Perfectly legal, by the way. Why hire someone with demonstrated bad judgment when you could just…not do that?
If I were world dictator, I’d ban all tattoos and those who have defaced themselves with those abominations would be sent to the mines — in the asteroid belt.
Tattoos look bad on anyone, but on women in particular they are like smearing shit on a classic painting. Which I guess is part of the point? Regardless, I wouldn’t want to be shit-smeared.
There is 90% chance Russia invades one or all of the Baltics by the end of 2028. It’s almost certainly gonna happen.

I was wondering if something like that would occur; that would be a very Russia thing to do.
