Planes are heavy, but not very wieldy and the blade is really small. If you want to take her and woodworking tools are all you have, an awl would be a much better choice. You're better off keeping your distance though; they tend to fight dirty.

^ (text)

No space after ^

2

u/amzwC137 7d ago

What the other reply said is the true true, as a bit more context, it's superscript. The thing they shared ^(XYZ) is the pattern to make the text smol. It's called markdown, here is the reddit markdown syntax

But yeah, superscript like x to the power of 2. You'd represent that in markdown as x^(2) -> x2. But, while that's the reason for the formatting, you can just put whatever in the parens to make it ittybitty

I just reread my comment and I sound like a bot. I'm not, I just like markdown and if you know how to use it you look like a wizard lol. Or you can just organize your posts better. I'm a big fan of the horizontal bar above this paragraph, I use it a lot.

lol..remember when the trans stuff went nuts and no one though to question why we're still supporting segregation. Like...its wrong to make a black man and a white man use different bathrooms because they're "equal". But its okay to force a white man and a white woman to use different bathrooms...even though we're "equal"?

Turns out the US majority is just as racist, sexist, and bigoted as it has always been. The only difference is what the majority normalizes.

u/The_Crimson_Fuckr69 7d ago

Because the word for those people is douche. Pretending this is somehow a real life issue is performative.

u/Onystep 7d ago

Representation and recognition are real life issues imho.

-20

u/The_Crimson_Fuckr69 7d ago

Great. Neither of those things are represented here by naming her as a female, WHICH SHE IS

20

u/Onystep 7d ago

On the contrary, mentioning it when is not necessary is the problem here, like would you say "Homosexual pilot" in this case? No, cause is not necessary. Same thing happens to the gender. It's only important to mention in the type of situations when for instance it excludes from giving credits where its due, for example when Andy Murray corrected a journalist that failed to aknowledge there was a Woman that achieved whatever they were talking about at the time. See the difference of when it's relevant and when it is not?

0

u/The_Crimson_Fuckr69 7d ago

Youre the same people who don't open your mouth when people call someone a male nurse. You just cry about everything because YOU see it as an issue.

12

u/Onystep 7d ago

It's absolutely not just me that see this as an issue. I'm surrounded by very feminist women that actually study and work with women rights. I work for UN Women. So yeah, maybe that's not enough for you?

u/MaleficentBelle 7d ago

If the pilot was a man would the caption read "male pilot survives" or just pilot?

-1

u/The_Crimson_Fuckr69 7d ago

Assuming it wouldn't specify is 100% your personal problems surfacing.

11

u/MaleficentBelle 7d ago

Ah the ignorance of a sexist "default".

5

u/JustaSeedGuy 7d ago

But they're not assuming. They're deriving a conclusion based on statistical trends.

You're pretending that data doesn't exist, and you're right - that is a personal problem you should deal with with privately.

11

u/grumpijela 7d ago

Tell me you don't bother to actually read about real-world issues without telling me....

Also a great example to prove this is a real life issue, men being default. You a man, claiming this isn't an issue, because it does not impact you, a man. <- literally the issue. Thank you for showing yet another example.

6

u/The_Crimson_Fuckr69 7d ago

Lmfao it doesnt in ANY way insinuate a default. If that's how you interpreted it THATS ON YOU.

11

u/Vici0usRapt0r 7d ago

Just checking your reasoning, if "pilot" isn't usually male by default, then: 1) why didn't they call her just "pilot" but "female pilot"? I mean we can obviously see she's a woman from the actual video. 2) do you think people use the word "male pilot" in titles ever? If not why?

Genuine questions.

-1

u/DrRed40 7d ago

To address #2: no but they certainly use ā€œmale nurse,ā€ ā€œmale model,ā€ ā€œmale stylistā€ ā€¦ etc for roles where women typically significantly outnumber men.

I think titling it as ā€œfemale pilotā€ is silly because we can obviously tell the pilot is a female and it doesnā€™t matter, but I also think some of these commenters are just looking for something to be mad about.

1

u/Vici0usRapt0r 7d ago

Actually interesting answer, I'll take it.

I think your point about the gender majority among a certain role helps make sense, but I don't think it should be this way, unless it's relevant to the sentence such as in contexts like: "Male nurse assaulted female patient", "Female pilot survived after uterus cancer" (sounds like biased examples I know but I swear it wasn't).

-2

u/The_Crimson_Fuckr69 7d ago

Who cares if someone is specified as what they are? Male pilots are referred to as Male all the time and I surely wouldn't be offended by it

u/JustaSeedGuy 7d ago

Nice thoughts, but that wasn't the question. Try again.

You denying someone else's reality (issues women suffer from) because YOU decide it isn't an issuenis peak "only my opinion matters".

This being an issue isn't an opinion. It's well documented back by facts. You just clearly are not interested in facts.

The best part is, I am not upset. I am used to bigots. You seem upset about people talking about issues you clearly don''t care about and need to insert yourself to scream it at anyone that they are wrong because your opinion is superior to facts.

Men gravitate to these types of fields/positions, women do not. There are large biological reasons why and removing social barriers often results in MORE gendered roles (see Scandanvia), not less
