I don't see this angry self-centred anti-male anti-science feminazi thanking science for inventing the vibrator.

The first gif seems to suggest that SCIENCE is helping her in some way, but she is still mad because (a) the microwave was invented before this specific way of helping her was addressed (she has been helped by scientific advances in no other ways whatsoever) and (b) her boyfriend has a fetish that she does not share

Where would the humble working-class single mom be were it not for the advent of the microwave making Kraft mac & cheese really easy to cook for her three children, which in turn makes it easier to get to her second job on time? The microwave is in actuality a feminist device. :colbert:

also: it is roughly yonic in design (a cavern-like thing with a hollow that you put things inside), whereas vibrators are often blatantly phallic (I suspect this may even be on purpose, friggin' SCIENCE)

Extry extry: Person holding intense grudge against entire concept of science turns out to be professional slam poet

Experts are calling it "the biggest loving shocker of a surprise in the history of things happening"

e: THIS JUST IN, the slam poet continued to overwhelm and flabbergast all observers by expressing personal grievances toward individuals not present using the language of oppression, finding the entire world at fault for a minor issue in the poet's social life! It has been described as "the biggest plot twist since the loving Happening or whatever poo poo"

took me a minute to piece it together from .gifs but yeah it's super unsurprising

I was about to ask "why is slam poetry so frequently stupid" but it's probably because it's easy to string together a bunch of one-liners that sound vaguely revelatory and like almost any two-bit schmuck who thinks they have something to say can get up there and do it without a lot of work

Science is heavy.
With men that stream is steady.
Oppressing women already.
Bitch thinks that she is heady.
Got a face like Tom Petty.
Will never stop shedding.
Cleaning that carpet while she's sweating.
Done stuff with her that I'm regretting.
Off to STEM school I'm heading.
No longer my bed i'm wetting.
Now it's a real doll i'm begetting.
Time to chow on some microwaved spaghetti.

Nah, this isn't the path of the pseudo-intellectual

She'll probably mooch off her parents when she can and couchsurf/mooch off friends or significant-others when she can't, eventually settling into a long-term live-in relationship with someone who puts up with her contributing no income or housework. They will never get married, and she will continue to write poems about how abstract universal forces are manifesting their personal malice toward her through her S.O. committing some perceived slight or other until she is old and grey.

Know a few folks like this but they also always like multiclass into something else crazy like "Wicca Lady" or "Suddenly Allergic to Gluten" or "I don't really believe in vaccines"

Or in one isolated case "2nd Amendment Fanatic" and "Really Really Believes in Aromatherapy"

the funniest part is no one in science or academia cite Freud as anything other than a dude with interesting ideas that were worth investigated but ultimately found to be wrong. Aside from all the other dumb things in the op that one really stood out to me as someone who had no idea what they were talking about.

I feel like part of growing up is realizing that the flipside to everyone being smart/talented in their own way is that everyone is also a complete idiot in their own way and this means people you otherwise respect and/or look up to will have some aspects of their lives they manage terribly.
