“Baking is for women. I love watching baking shows and seeing the creativity. I was recently inspired to make a father-daughter pact to bake something with my five-year-old daughter at least once a week. Next weekend, I am teaching her to make a checkerboard pattern cake (teaching myself, too). Last weekend, we made homemade bread, and she has been asking for a slice of that bread with every meal until now it is almost gone.” –Jim2718

“Wealthy people don’t seem to be accountable for white collar crimes like poor people who commit petty crimes. Wealthy people get huge tax breaks and can spend more money on themselves or invest to make even more. Investments are taxed at lower rates so people that can afford to invest make even more. Meanwhile those at the bottom get no wage adjustments for inflation while the cost of everything else increases from inflation. Benefits and pensions are cut so the wealthy get rich from the profits as a result of lower pay and benefits. Corporations can move to tax sheltered countries to avoid paying more taxes. The average person gets none of this and is paying more out of pocket. Look at Bernie Madoff who went for years stealing other people’s money and no prosecutions from the 2008 financial crisis. I guess it’s easier to go after the poor, powerless and weak.” –NatureNut70

“I’m a young guy. One of my female coworkers slapped my ass about a month ago. I didn’t say anything because I really didn’t care too much, but if the roles were reversed I’d be out of here faster than I could say sexual harassment.” –piratestarx38

“If I wake up at 4pm and go to bed at 9am, I’m lazy, do nothing all day, etc. Wake up at 4am, bed at 9. You’re seen as a responsible member of society. Doesn’t matter if you work the EXACT same number of hours, make the same money, do the exact amount of housework.” –Elistariel

“The one that probably affects me the most directly is that idea that if I have my kids out with me alone, I’m either some miracle from the Heavens “doing Gods work” (a stranger actually said that to me), or hearing the “Awww, is it Daddy’s day to babysit?” F-CK YOU KAREN I’M THE STAY AT HOME PARENT AND IT’S NOT BABYSITTING WHEN THEY’RE MY F-CKING KIDS! Mr. Mom came out in 1983 and I still can’t get a break about it.” –littlebeefidiot

“Teaching about about how bad Hitler and the Holocaust were, while the collective nations of the world do nothing about China and its treatment of Uyghurs while enjoying cheap electronics.” –AFLBabble

“Playing video games is a waste of time, unproductive and you should be ashamed of doing that in your free time if you’re older than 18, in fact you’re immature if you do. But reading a book, watching TV/Netflix, going to a bar/club/etc, is completely fine and encouraged for all ages (well except bars and clubs). Why the hell do people despise video games specifically with such a passion?
“You’re playing games when you could be something productive” bullshit, you wouldn’t say that to someone doing anything that I specified above during their free time, but you would to someone playing games, regardless if they actually were productive during the rest of the day or not.” –Puzzlehead-Engineer
