Lets not forget why he is there. No internet access seems like very little punishment for what he did.

There is sort of heroic stereotype of "real men" from the past. And today most men have some feminine traits, and do not fit well into that stereotype. Here is sort of example: http://www.cnsnews.com/commentary/rod-eccles/where-have-all-...

The point is the fact they were called "pussy", not the outrage. There was some feminine trait for which they were called 'pussy".

Other people have opted out of that arms race and

Majority of people have opted from traditional gender roles. Marriage is at all time low.

don't feel obliged to obey the gender roles about their clothing/style/personality (or their bodies).

I assume you are talking about LGBT, more specifically trans. By being trans you are expected to follow another gender stereotype (clothing, style, personality). All trans are expected to overcompensate; wear similar makeup, hairstyle, have mild depression, have certain political opinion. Also being trans should be a result of deep existentialist crisis...

50 years old guy with a beard, truck, wife and kids. Guy who become trans for some trivial reason (job, avoid draft), does not fit well into this gender stereotype. And he should not be a trans (but in theory he has a right to be).

Say that to your average transphobic/antifeminist "activist".

It depends how you phrase it. Those groups have a folklore about gender-fluid women (hairy feminist). And most guys will agree they are not "men enough" to marry.

Do I fear being discriminated by people like them in the job/housing market, or harassed?

Guys after divorce have a similar problem. It depends a lot on a vibe.

Rest of the comment is pretty loaded. Feminist interests are not always aligned with trans-gender interests (military service, prison rape..)

My informations from Germany are 6 years, but it probably still applies:

- electricity is produced by wind farms in north, and transfered to industrial south. German grid does not have enough capacity and has to transfer through Czech grid. That is often pushing it to edge of safety limit. Safety breakers are not possible for political reasons (Poland installed something like that).

- Building new high-voltage power line is almost impossible

- Atomic plants are being decommissioned. There might be a problem to satisfy existing demand.

- Germany is planning to use Russian gas to make power in future (baltic pipe...). But Russia stated they might not have enough gas in 30 years to supply their own internal demand, and will stop exporting.

- More recently there is a huge political instability associated with Russian gas.

- Poland (or Estonia?) buys liquid gas from Katar and transports it on tankers. But that is very expensive

- Building new power plants in Germany is very problematic.

Main market is countryside with a commute to local city. Cities often do not even have a parking spot and public transport is faster.

My experience is from post communist countryside. Everyone has some machinery to cut wood, mix concrete, welding...

Does anyone have link to original sources?

Most houses in EU already have "charging point", it is called electric plug. 25A/380V plugs are pretty common: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_and_multiphase_powe...

But electric grids in western countries (Germany, UK) are absolutely not ready for such thing. German power grid would collapse if Czechia and Poland started enforcing their safety regulations.

This regulation would also make it impossible to build off-grid house powered by solar.

I am serious.

There is no such thing as "stereotypical male in all senses", everyone is gender-fluid . Most men were called a "pussy" or "not a real man" at some point.

People come from different backgrounds. In my country people often changed their religion or race, not doing so would bring unpleasant consequences. For example my parents become atheists to get a decent jobs. Some people are also distracted by feeding family.

"Being diverse" is simply just another job requirement for some people.

I personally spend one year at military outpost in mountains. I would be very happy to give-up my "male privilege", and wear tutu with tiara on public for that year. Work visa in US would be similar case...

As trans woman I would be outraged, that I am treated as lesser woman (exclusion from sport events, included in Selective Service, exclusion from women's prisons...). Not that more people choose to identify as trans.

Probably not as old (white?) male. But there is a simple way to increase your diversity.

You could start identifying as a woman, it is just a verbal identification, no other changes are required. This way you would also become lesbian.

In some countries you can legally change your race, by religious conversion (Sikht in UK). Again, religion is just a verbal identification.

facts come second to feelings and opinions

I think Fiske is arguing exactly for this point. Feelings are more important than data.

this is not helping society but actually making it more polarised and less cohesive.

Do you think stuff like "ambivalent sexism theory" is making society more cohesive?

When the authors protest that none of the errors really matter, it makes you realize that, in these projects, the data hardly matter at all.

Very informative. However my impression is that US version is ballistic missile with highly maneuverable shuttle as a payload. Article mentions it will be capable to hit anywhere on earth within 30 minutes.

It seems like very very expensive way of bombing terrorists.

However, hypersonic weapons do not need to be nuclear in order to be disruptive, as demonstrated by the United States’ focus on conventional hypersonic weapons.

Does China and Russia believe that? It takes a few minutes to swap conventional and nuclear warheads.

If anything US is the leader in this new cold war.
