I don't understand how, on here, a forum for misfits and outcasts, there is still so much support for natural selection. In spite of the fact that if you're here, it's trying to weed you out too, especially if you're a guy. If you're here, then you're probably not in the social Inner Party. It's why I get so mad when people try to "nerd-shame" me, cause it's like dude, you're part of the social underclass too, so don't try to shame me there, Uncle Tom. It's like poor Republicans. I don't get it.
And I think it's possible to like women, or at least think they are as all right as anyone/no particular negative feelings, while not liking natural selection/sexual selection.
Even if the game can't be changed, you'd think there'd be at least a little more understanding that the people who aren't favored by it, don't like it.
Also, I can't help but think that one reason similar themes keep coming up, is that people aren't ever allowed to talk them out to a conclusion. So the issue never gets resolved. More and more I'm reminded of grade school here - conflict wasn't allowed there, so issues were never really resolved there either. You had to just force fake smiles and pretend everything was fine. People feel what they feel, for the reasons they have. It's not invalid. It's hard to not be bitter about something, when you keep getting treated like you are "less than", like it's not what you're doing that's the problem, it's that you ARE the problem. I feel like maybe, just maybe, some people could even get a little better if they could talk their feelings to a conclusion instead of always being cut off. Or at least they could get it all out, and maybe clear their minds.
But, no free speech. Toe the party line, or else. Cool story bro. Or should I say, cool story comrade?

Don't. In fact, when you're busy or stressed out, it's probably the times we deserve those things the most. It's healthy to give yourself some kind of outlet for stress relief. No shame in that.
