At the risk of losing brain cells, I'm extremely curious what her reasoning is here.

Is it just cause it's childish? Is shaming men for liking childish things not enforcing toxic masculinity?

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 115 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If Cindy is commenting on him liking something she considers childish, then Cindy is indeed a bitch.

But if she’s commenting on his apparent expectation that it be free for men in their twenties as if he’s owed something, that I can kinda see her point.

Would be nice if she made her point in a way in which her meaning could be clearly understood.

He didn't say that it shouldn't also be free for other subsets of society.

Sorry the government doesn't have the funds to subsidize go-kart rides. That money has already been sent to Argentina.

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

free and mandatory for all the drivers that drive significantly below the speed limit, and they have to compete and earn a rank to be let out again

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Guess I'm gonna start being chronically late for work....just like the poor fucks stuck behind me! Free go karting here I come!

Yea, but it's a safer assumption that plenty of other jumps to conclusions. lol

Reading must be very difficult for you with that level of comprehension.

If he didn't mean only men, there's less than no reason to specify men nor an age range.

Please, learn to read. For your own sake.

The child is lashing out lol, adorable. You wanna say more mean words to make you feel better?

[–] MotoAsh@piefed.social -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

lol you're too dumb to hold a conversation. Congrats.

[–] Lightor@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Lol you're entire comment was just 2/3 insults, you call that a conversation? Ooof. Someone needs a nap.

Looking at your recent comments, you have gems like "You must enjoy the taste of dick in the morning." And I'm too dumb to hold a convo? You're idea of a convo is insult someone till they don't want to deal with you anymore. Congrats on being alone.

Maybe because he advocates for something to be free for men instead of everybody?

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Is saying tampons should be free for women toxic femininity?

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

As a guy, I biologically need to go-kart once a month.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’ve never done it. But it sounds really fun. I did have a motorized scooter that was super awesome.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

It is awesome, the best is "slick tracks". You get to power slide the ass around.

[–] stray@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago

No, but it is passively transphobic, in that you're forgetting that men and non-binary people may also use tampons. Tampons and every other necessity should be free for everyone.

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

I'm just curious how she expects us to educate ourselves about this.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 week ago

The feminist literature on go-karts does seem to be a bit thin.

[–] stray@pawb.social 1 points 1 week ago

Maybe she just really wants to encourage women to go to college.

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's definitely related.

Not exactly childish, but usually you can apply it more broadly as a man enjoying something that isn't seen as outwardly productive.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Before seeing the reply, my l reaction to his post was “this is some bullshit. I wanna ride go-carts too.”

Cindy needs to calm down though. I’m sure he didn’t mean women wouldn’t be allowed on the track; just that this man really likes go-carts.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 6 points 1 week ago

Maybe it's sexist to imply only men like go karts

[–] ngdev@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

karting isnt childish unless youre in a child kart. there are karts that haul ass

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago

Grown men don't gokart!

Well they fucking well should, it's delightful

[–] pleaseletmein@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Maybe him having “Caucasian James” as a handle makes her think he’s a racist? (Which is itself silly since it’s more likely a reference to The Office, but it’s all I can come up with.)
