Is there literally anything only men like?
There are male biased things, ie. gaming, woodworking, wingsuiting, cimbing etc.
but are there any things literally only males like?
Well, Joe Rogan
I know several women who listen to joe rogan unfortunately
I met a girl on tinder who believed and "teached" the goapel of andrew tate. So nothing is impossible.
U banged didn't you lol
Let he/she/they who has never suppressed a political opinion to a hottie throw the first stone
Oh you bet I'm throwing some boulders
I kinda really wanted to. Not really for obvious reasons, but i was really wondering what a person like that was like. Or what her place looks like. But every sentence she wrote was like diarrhea
Nothing is absolute, of course
maybe some things so incredibly niche that only one or two people total like them, if those people happen to be men?
Yes, I and my brother invented a game that only we two know how to play.
But is it a good game?
Fortran
Nope. Even Fortran programers hate that vile language.
Hey I kinda like it :-(
That tracks, I like fortran because I never tried it.
Need a purge on the Fortran courses at my uni pls
They said men, not masochists

Of course not, absolutes don't exist...
Is that absolutely true?
only a sith deals in absolutes
Hmmm
Name one (besides there not being absolutes🅰
Urinating standing up. Its so much messier when you're a woman and writing half your friends name in snow with it is almost impossible.
She-Wee for the win!
When I started my transition, I always sat to pee, because standing made me dysphoric. Now I don't really care at all :)
Andrew Tate
Some obscure math, and obscure programming languages. I dunno, but it feels like no women would be dumb enough to devote tons of effort into things like haskell-adjacent languages.
Learning that language is probably too much of a haskell for anyone really.
That doesn't really stop people, though.
Yes there is:
Only men like nothing.
Explanation:
"Only XYZ like ABC" is equivalent to: "Everyone who likes ABC is also an XYZ."
Since everybody likes at least something, there is no one who likes nothing. The statement: "Everyone who likes nothing is also a man" is true because the "Everyone who likes nothing" part results in 0 people. And it's true to say that everyone in a group of 0 people is a man. It's also true that everyone in a group of 0 people is not a man.
But other than vacuous truths, no sentence stating "Only man like XYZ" is true.
But only men like set theory, so…
This woman likes set theory because she was involved in a set theory workshop:
https://dmg.tuwien.ac.at/sandramueller/conferences/
But you're kind of right that it's not great that math is still a strongly male dominated field. There is not a single woman's name in the Wikipedia article for set theory, where I first tried to find a counterexample.
Also, you don't necessarily need set theory to arrive at vacuous truths. Logic is enough:
FALSE => [statement]
Still, I think vacuous truths are fun because they are meaningless. Especially because they have to be considered in math or else your carefully constructed proof becomes invalid.
I have no idea why you're being downvoted. Perhaps it's coming off as a bit rude to some?
It is!
That's the fun thing about vacous truths: They allow both a statement and its inverse to be true.
raping women I imagine
Women can rape women — although masculine rape culture is definetly the biggest culprit behind rapes.
yeah so am I wrong
Well, considering the question was, "is there anything that literally only males like", and there are in fact women that sexually assault other women, then yes, you are wrong.
That's just something like 0.01% though, so I'd say it's negligible
While certainly a minority, they are not negligible. Especially so in prisons, where inmate-on-inmate SA can be over 3 times higher for women than for men.
You're referring to the fact that women are 3 times as likely to be victim of SA, not the offender.
I can't tell if I'm tired and missing your point, or if you misunderstood me.
I am specifically referring to inmate-on-inmate SA. As prisons are typically segregated by gender, the offender and victims would both be female in this case. Guard-on-inmate SA on the other hand is mostly male offenders as one might unfortunately expect.
Yeah I guess I didn't think that through...
I found this source that says:
So you're partially correct but it's not because women in prisons are more likely to rape another inmate.
If it's inmate-on-inmate, and they're in a woman's prison, I think it's safe to assume that both victim and offender were women, no?
sorry I didn't know women went to a separate prison
Fair enough... Now you do!
