Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.


6. Defend your opinion


This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Apparently this is an unpopular opinion among feminists. If feminism is about equality for everyone, it needs to address that. As an example, LGBTQ+ was extended many times to cover everyone in the community, and that's the right thing to do. There isn't just L and everyone repeats "Oh! Lesbians are for rights for everyone, no need to update that"

I don't know what the new name should be, but it should cover gender equality for everyone.

Ok, how about this......what if we did the patriarchy but different. Instead of being male dominant, it was just no dominance at all? Instead, we'd have marbles. And everybody gets the same amount of marbles. But the marbles don't mean anything. Even if you took someone elses marbles, you just have 10 marbles instead of 5. But 10 marbles doesn't do anything differently than 5 marbles. You just have 10 marbles. Same as you would today.

So then, when it comes to things like money, and power, and dominance.....no. No money. No power. No influence. No dominance. Just everybody gets 5 marbles.

And instead of calling it the patriarchy, we can call it Flornandia. A word I just made up.

Now, as it pertains to the giant rubber ducks....
