The solution to this is actually so simple, just go to every man's wikipedia page and make one about their wife who are all notable by virtue of marrying notable men.

Without the patriarchal institution of marriage, most of these men would not have had the motivation to be notable. Women make the true sacrifices. It's an antiquated system and it's on the way out.

They were notable before they got chucked married.

That's my point exactly. Also, found the beta male ^

Lol a femoid calling someone a beta. Nice try sweaty!

Incel detected.

I thought I'd use your language to get the point across. I'd explain it in a different way, but you wouldn't understand. And that's okay, hun, we can communicate using your terms.

I hope you become a drama regular, babe. ;)

I like it here, you spergs are fun :)

Are you Jewish? We have quite a lot of Jewish femoids as it is so you need to bring something unique to the table.

So, it takes a man to point this out and say women should do something about it? Girls can't even win a race against two mediocre guys in ponytails. I hardly think that men are going to be ushered out any time soon. And, why would that even be a goal? I thought equality was the goal, not supplanting patriarchy.

It doesn't matter if girls can't run faster, what a pointless argument 🙄 What matters is that girls are going to university and boys are digging ditches, as it should be.

I will defer to your expertise since girls are the queens of pointless arguments.

This entire thread is like a warm cuppa coco on a winter morn. Hmmmnnnn

🍵🤗 I'm snuggled in a blanket right now

🍆🤔

Nah

I love it when GC users get feistyyy hnnnnnggggggg

No but you actually make some cutting points and I've seen u deliver some absolute zingers on here. You're a quality user and you've probably got bigger balls (sorry: ovaries) than most of us /r/Drama soyboys. If they all were like u dat patriarchy would have already been smashed yesterday

We're gonna have to agree to agree, now, with those sweet words, boo: You're not so bad, for a troll.

I just recognize potential high-quality trollin when I see it even when it come from a hatesub user

U've shown more creativity than all the milliondollarextreme spergs who think posting "beaner", "niigger" and "it's okay to be white" is the ultimate form of comedy

Embarassing dicksucking

Tbf her clit is probably bigger than my benis so I just get hot and bothered. Don't kinkshame huh broheim?

Why is this pathetic comment being upvoted? It is making me physically ill

You are entitled to your opinion.

Now love, just you go back to /r/GoneWild and leave the thinking to the men, good girl, you know too much thinking will make you ugly.

/s? I hope

But men can rise to the top of a media empire like Jimmy Wales or Harvey Weinstein.

What matters is that girls are going to university

and still studying how to take care of feelings rather then how to design ditches.

It will matter when it comes to a fist fight, and violence is the ultimate decider

What matters is that girls are going to university

Not for stem or anything else that leads to historical significance.

patriarchal institution of marriage

Unless the woman wants kids, in which case marriage is a pretty favourable deal for the woman.

>we share a planet with people who unironically believe this

i want off mr yahweh’s wild ride

Women of the past* made serious sacrifices and had some tough struggles (kinda pales when you look at any of the wars but I digress), sure.

But then there is the average woman of today, a comparatively soft, pathetic thing and you should be ashamed for trying to lump your internet arguing into the same category as Marie Curie or Margaret Hamilton.

You're wasting your university education on nitpicking perspective to paint woman as noble heroes whilst ignoring so many notable heroes. Life must be tough when you keep twisting yourself into these horrible circumstances

This but unironically.

would not have had the motivation to be notable. [...] It's an antiquated system and it's on the way out.

glad we're getting rid of all that pesky motivation

I can't tell if this is satire or not.

How can you be this much of a shitlord? How can you be so right?

For consistency, go to famous women's pages and rename them like "Bill Clinton's Wife".

Bill Clinton's Wife was married to Hillary Clinton's Husband.

Big if true

their wife who are all notable by virtue of marrying notable men.

pretty much how 80% of women get famous

Muhammad is a try feminist. He made so many women notable just by marrying them.

Genghis Khan and his 12 sons too.

Oh and that one Moroccan with like 800 kids

Sally Dortmunder was an English woman most notable for picking flecks of vagina cheese out of her coochie and spending time with her cats.

Janelle Tea was a longtime fan of cold chicken dinners and the smell of her own farts.

Keiran Goldberg was a high school dropout who acquired her GED and later her doctoral degree in women's studies.

"The vast majority" basically translates to "I don't have a source but if I say this thing people will take it as the truth".

I don't really understand how the gender of Wikipedia editors relates to the number of notable women worthy of a Wikipedia page either.

Everyone knows Wikipedia editors are men. They also have no lives. That's how you get thousands of pages detailing the difference between Marvel comics and Marvel movies.

"men" who wear diapers or fursuits or both.

It's not patriarchys fault that women don't want to embrace the NEET life.

As long as they keep wikipedia updated idc what they do

Everyone knows Wikipedia editors are men.

They're also white. Want to see peak mayonnaise?

Look at the wikipedia on Kevin Spacey's sexual allegations vs. Morgan Freeman's.

Want to see peak het? Compare Spaceys to wienstiens, in spite of him being accused earlier and by many more people, and having more power to begin with, Weinstiens is thin on the ground. Meanwhile the tone of moral panic in Spaceys is ripe, just goes to show nothing is worse then when a gay man does it.

obvious degenerates don't want their bussy blasted.

what fools they be.

Well it's easier to have a life when you have a vagina and can have sex if you're above a 3.

Someone has to do it...

More so, that's why a bunch of esports teams all have Wikipedia pages.

There is some speculation that autism is currently underdiagnosed in women since they don't always display the same symptoms. So Wikipedia might actually be experiencing an autism gap. Women need to be encouraged to smash the colorful puzzle ceiling.

Women need to be encouraged to smash the colorful puzzle ceiling.

It's a colorful stained glass puzzle ceiling you shitlord.

If the majority of women who suffer from "autism" display different symptoms from the majority of men who suffer from autism, is it really still autism?

It's not the majority of women who suffer from autism. Some experts just think that the ratio of men to women with autism is closer to 3:1 instead of 4:1. It appears that women may be better at masking their sperginess and end up getting diagnosed with other disorders or going undiagnosed.

I guess my main point is that I think it's stupid that something as varied (both in its symptoms and its treatments) as autism is just one label.

Like, as far as I know (which isn't much), you could check boxes A, B, and C and then be put on the spectrum. Then someone else could check boxes D, E, and F and get put on the same spectrum. But clearly what you and this other person are suffering from are completely separate.

It's not like some virus that can manifest itself in different ways for different people. When someone catches a physical illness, we can figure out specifically what kind of illness they have through blood tests and shit. When someone has autism, we can only go by the symptoms they display, which often aren't even shared with people who supposedly have the same disorder.

I get the impression that ASD has become the diagnosis for "this person is somewhere on the spectrum of weird to completely nonfunctional and also doesn't fall into any of these other disorders in my textbook, therefore they're autistic."

ok now that my spergy rant is over, I realize that I'm probably totally wrong about a lot of this shit, but idk. It took me too long to write this, so I'm just posting it anyway.

Men are better autists than women? Chalk another one up for bussy 😍

Or that women being autistic is just chalked up to "women amirite".

Won't eat certain foods? LoL women are so sensitive.

Won't eat food touching together? She just likes things to be well organised.

Plays with dolls / miniatures / MLP toys instead of friends? Totally normal.

Spegs out when talking to a member of the opposite sex? She's a strong independent feminist.

Won't go out with me? She got the 'tism.

On the contrary ...

At what point are the symptoms so different that it stops being the same disorder?

It's not really that, autistic women can blend in easily because they're allowed to be passive. Autistic men with all the expectations of a man on them are demonised and punished for trying to minimise their presence.

the struggle for opression shall never end, tovarisch!

Some genes related to autism are on the X chromosome (eg. fragile x) so females, with dual X, are affected significantly less because the defective copy gets overridden.

1 female for every 4 male is 1 in 5

100% of /r/drama posters are men. What can we do about this?

Some of them are Markov chain generators.

Ed, /u/kippot, and who else?

dont @ me nerd

Dude, you are a storehouse of old memes. This is all you are and all you will ever be.

[removed]

Btw I'm terribly sorry my memes aren't fresh and dank enough for a MeMeLord, I'll try to keep up

Is there a reason you came back to this post almost a day later

I just wanted to apologise for not being up to date on the dankest memes

Apology accepted

cheers m8

Apology accepted

Transition half of them into women?

Why would we want to make them uglier?

i was hoping that would end with them mouth to mouth

They would still be better looking than most cis women.

They would still be better looking than most cis women.

pfft have you seen some of the catty bitches who are sub regulars?

Who identifies as "men" in 2018? Xer wouldn't be enlightened then.

Leans into mic

Wrong.

Hi! Few things to start off with =] 1. Yes I added you because you're a female drama user, 'tis and awesome thing to see! 2. I'm Jared. 3. Don't be intimidated, but I'm not like a stereotypical guy. If anything, I'll be the one in the kitchen =D

Whip em out and compare?

Oi bruv, you got a gender loisance for that Wikipedia article?

I wonder how many of the hundreds of thousands of dollars they beg for and spend each year are spent on their feminist edit-a-thons.

Inb4 Sadiq Khan gets banned from Wikipedia for organizing a raid

This guys pockets are so stuffed by special interests.

politician shilling

I

AM

SHOCKED

samefagging this hard

Come on Ed, I expected better than that from even you.

It's ok to compromise.

/u/LemonScore or /u/TheEquimanthorn could you stab this mong with your assault fork pls

Oi mate! You got a loicense for that butter knife

All of the schoolgirls who attended our event were very happy to be there. We believe it's important to teach kids how Wikipedia works and give them the agency to research, write and publish on the platform. Shame you can't see anything positive in that.

wait what? am i reading this wrong or is this saying they are teaching children how to edit wikipedia.

hot take: children should not be allowed to edit or be involved in the editing of encyclopedic information. at all. period. kids are retarded.

All there edits will be reverted with tism troop editors come along.

Unironically though, a lot of early Wikipedia (especially before before the wikia sellout purge on fictional content) was written by autistic 5th-12th graders and college students going by listed admitted ages and edit histories.

It's also why Wikipedia used to be so vandalized into shit like the moon being cheese. Although now many pages require edits to be reviewed before being applied.

You're not gonna get most adults to assemble so much shit for free and those autistic kids have already gotten it this far. It's not considered a respectable place to gather source links to better information.

And the adults are by far the worst as they often only edit things when they have something to gain or that's wrong but they're totally right about and needs to be known, e.g.:any slightly political article.

I have fond memories of when 90% of the Wikipedia article on the Crucifixion was "The Crucifixion in Anime."

When was that? I think I can look at previous versions. I'm on mobile, so Iunno is that's true.

It was a long time ago—probably about ten years

How else are we going to get the next Ryulong?

Why did he suggest their gender?

The vast majority who do anything of note ever are men so that sounds about right.

Aka women need to provide more free labor for equal representation.

Feminists always moan about their “home cleaning labor” which goes unpaid, and it seems that wikipedia slaves are the real male version of that.

Internet cleaning labor.

London, as well as the rest of the UK, are having a large uptick in crime. Meanwhile this fucker is worried about women's representation. . .on a fucking website?!

No but for real, is this dude serious with this shit!

on an American website. doesn't even have anything to do with his country.

This is the UK, wikipedia gender and nazi pugs are the priority over grooming gangs and knife crime

Count Dankula may be a fuck loser who cried because he was facing a fucking fine, but that Pig was the real MVP trouble maker. Fucker is prolly marching in some UKIP rally as we speak.

Something something Tommy Robinson something something freeze peaches.

I mean dankula obviously brought attention to it for his own benefit, but I'd still say its a bad precedent for a country to set where they can arrest people for a mildly offensive joke

Yeah I actually agree. I deleted my comment because I was being a total cunt.

There are some that intentionally try and provoke a reaction from people, for whatever reason, Dankula doesn't fit that mold. Even if he was, I'd still think what happened to him was fucking ridiculous.

I'm waiting for the same to happen in Canada where I live. It hasn't yet, but it could in theory. I'm not cool with that.

Being two years on trial that can potentially get yoou in jail for a joke is not “facing a fucking fine”.

If a mandatory minimum sentence was on the table my opinion would change. But I'm fully aware that in the UK, as in Canada, each crime(for the most part) has a range of possible outcomes. So yes there was a possibility of him getting the harshest sentence possible. But that was never likely.

But don't get me wrong here, the whole situation was fucking retarded. Especially since no actual citizen ever complained about the video, it was a member of the police service who filed charges. Also the joke in question was fucking funny.

When you are on trial for two years you will think about the worst scenario most of the time.

Well, he's really inviting ideology onto a platform that should be neutral and unbiased. It's a literal revision of history.

yeah, but the upside is that this has made local authorities go on an absolute witch hunt with uncovering "weapons" in public parks and such. i remember one weapons clean up along a river that was posted on twitter by the local police and included a bike wheel in the findings.

Did this fucker just assume gender?

😴

Why don't you make like an attack helicopter and take off

Tackling the real issues

I saw this guy gets on TV getting grilled over the rocketing crime rate and how people are accusing him of putting style over substance and not dealing with the concerns of the average Londoner.

So... seems legit.

This guy is such a moron.

he's getting paid to act like this, probably by rootless cosmopolitans.

by UK govt.

the UK government is thoroughly and fatally retarded at the moment, i'm sure he was prompted to do this. which... i was gonna say is even sadder, but actually if this was his own heroic idea and he thought "wow, as an important public figure i must take a stand for inequality on wikipedia," then yeah, maybe that is worse.

Finally adressing the REAL issues

What

Cuckold Khan

Girlahu Akbar

Meanwhile his city is being turned into a third world shithole

lol

If he had only said something like "such and such woman did this great thing, yet is so forgotten by history, she doesn't even have a wikipedia page!" it would have been fine. But he doesn't know and likely doesn't care what is wrong, just that "the numbers are uneven, therefore SOMETHING must be wrong." It's horseshit - he's in it for the points, not for the actual equality.

I'm starting to suspect Sadiq Khan might be a male feminist.

wat

All centerpedes laugh at this cuck Muslim idiot.

😴😴😴

This guy is such a piece of shit.

Imagine constantly dividing people and spreading discord then having the arrogance to say you represent some kind of 'peaceful world order'.

. . . . . . . . . . . so?

Last time I checked there is nothing preventing women from being editors in Wikipedia.

women’s stories

uhm, isn't wikipedia about facts?

Like I literally don't care who the editor is of any given wikipedia site, I just care about the information.

If a woman writes it, it is literally the same to me.

Muslim shit. Enslavers of Africans.

wikipedia contributors are all heavily autistic and theres more autistic men

this is legit the reason

Why are women underrepresented? Is it because Work is for men?

and ensure women's stories are fully represented online"

Strange, I thought Wikipedia is about facts, not stories.

and ensure women’s stories are fully represented online

Strange, I was under the impression Wikipedia is about facts, not stories.

When you're Mayor of London and a fucking nobody that isn't even a Verified Cunt on twitter has more likes in his reply to your comment, you know you're doing Allah's Work and that this is indeed the cause to pursue.

Wikipedia needs wimmin.

Yeah because women are too busy shopping and gossiping. This is actually a great illustration of where that gender imbalance comes from: men doing productive things, women thinking they're too boring to bother with.

Wow 17% is appalling. I’m actually working on one for my mother right now to do my part in equaling things out some.

Maybe women have better things to do than edit wikipedia articles. Also since when do you need specific genitals to write articles.
