Media tropes are not necessarily representative of the general population either and often lag behind the progression of social norms. I can see those tropes in film but I also accept the possibility that they could represent values that were held by the baby boomers and not by the current generation.

I don't know tbh. Just saying that in my experience men are just as, if not more, committed to marriage than women.

You wanna have a go at me for what I've experienced then fine. But I'm just stating the truth of my experience and asking for evidence that it is different than the (western) world at large and the best you can come up with is 'common knowledge'. Well it's not common knowledge inside my social circle. In fact I don't notice any substantial difference in desire to get married or commitment to marriage between my male and female friends.

As I've said like fucking ten times right now while being constantly abused for it - MY EXPERIENCE AND YOURS MAY DIFFER, WE CANNOT KNOW WHAT IS TRUE OF A GENERAL POPULATION BY KNOWING WHAT OUR FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES THINK. In caps so people can actually fucking read and see that I'm NOT saying that it is untrue - just that personal experience is not sufficient evidence to form an accurate picture of public opinion.

I shouldn't bhave to explain this shit to PaRD members.

You can refer to the data I provided in my previous post.

It seems that there is an important disconnect between what you observed and what the majority of the world has observed about marriage. When it becomes some sort of ‘common knowledge’ that justifies this typical portrayal in the media, I think it’s safe to assume it’s more than just personal experience.

Those two things are quite at odds, imo. If you've noticed that's how humans are represented in media than it's also common knowledge to you. I don't think there are really many tropes in films that don't directly translate to reality if they are broad generalizations about human behavior. I mean sure, people don't get knocked out for 10 mins by a single karate chop, but that's about it. it those movies didn't at least mirror our ideas about society they wouldn't be watched, people want media they can relate to. even in sci fi characters often need to mimmick our world even if theyre an alien on a lava planet 10 light years away.

but that's not really my gripe, you're challenging common knowledge, so the burden of proof is on you. just like card sultan coming in and saying "official narrative means lies". if its not true find facts to counter it. be they traditional studies or ones that reflect changes over time for millennial. I'll bet a fat stack you find a whole lot of studies that really challenge your worldview, and few if any that conform to it. maybe this is just one of those scenarios where your personal perspective is so wildly off of the mainstream that good dialogue is not possible. what you perceive as abuse, at least from me, should be seen as incredulity. you're well into my tinfoil zone man

Women cant provide for themselves in current year, thats why the welfare system is fucked

Men are more likely to work in a marriage than shrug and divorce

Cool. My culture is tinfoil zone.
Nice healthy dose of bigotry.

It's like saying 'The majority of people are lutheran because you live in northern scandinavia and people on tv are represented as majority lutheran and most of the people you know are lutheran. You're basically dissing my people.

I think it should be included as a footnote, like transgenderism.

Today i read a paper in french about a part of the young generation, homosexuals & transexuals, using drugs (GHB/GBA/Ectasy/Cocain etc) and doing sex for like 3 days with like 30 different people, using internet to "chain" them....
The guy/trans was using a treatment to PREVENT hiv ...

I dont think it's a good thing to teach ...

Yes, hopefully they're on PrEP, and also hopefully have had comprehensive sex education.

Chemsex is alive and well.
