This could've gone in any number of threads but I'll put it here.

The British newspaper The Guardian cited a study from Cardiff University that reportedly claims that wearing facemasks makes both men and women more appealing to the eye:

'Our study suggests faces are considered most attractive when covered by medical face masks. This may be because we're used to healthcare workers wearing blue masks and now we associate these with people in caring or medical professions. At a time when we feel vulnerable, we may find the wearing of medical masks reassuring and so feel more positive towards the wearer.'

The pictures were shown with a two different kinds of face mask, with a book partially covering the faces and with nothing covering the faces at all (stock image)
Lewis added that it was possible face masks made people more attractive because it directed the participants' attention towards the eyes.

I mean... the mask would be an enhancement for some people I suppose... 😷

Wearing a facemask makes you more attractive, study finds

People wearing face masks (stock image) are deemed to be more attractive than when they have nothing covering their faces, according to a new study by Cardiff University.

Almost THREE HUNDRED DOCTORS and Scientists trying to cancel Joe Rogan clear off of Spotify after his podcast with controversial Doctor Robert Malone.

270 doctors demand Joe Rogan stops 'spreading anti-vax misinformation'

A total of 270 experts and medical professionals called on Spotify to adopt a misinformation policy after Joe Rogan hosted the controversial Dr Robert Malone last month.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Here are some of the 270 luminaries...

According to Twitter one of them, Cole Kraten, the "Director of Research. Grasshopper Farms" is a self described "college dropout who develops cybersecurity systems in his sparetime and Grasshopper Farms is a Cannabis grower and "TikTok Educator."

This in addition to the assorted dentists, medical education specialists, writers and nurses and pronouned individuals.

Apparently someone did a break down of the list.

The letter denouncing Joe Rogan and pressuring Spotify to censor his speech has all kinds of random signatories. By my count, the letter is signed by over 50 PhD academics, around 60 college professors, 29 nurses, 10 students, 4 medical residents, and even a handful of… science podcasters.

Notably, there is no information on who or what group is behind the creation and circulation of the open letter. Rivera, the reported lead author of the letter, is associated with the far-left Rockefeller Foundation and The Atlantic, and she is a CNN contributor.

'270 doctors’ called out Joe Rogan, but the authors of the letter and the vast majority of its signatories are not medical doctors

Only a handful are practicing physicians.

You do realize there's a manga about a dude who's super into her right?

Frankly, find someone who likes you for you, bedroom time would SUCK if you or your partner have to be masked for arousal to happen.

Well, ok, unless masks are your fetish, weirdo.

Well, can't argue with that.

Good idea for a thread. I say this because I found an article from 2019 linking the eating of meat with toxic masculinity.

People think beef is manly, and that’s a big problem

The guy in Burger King’s 2006 “Manthem” campaign for the Texas Double Whopper sits in a fancy restaurant and looks at his food. He’s appalled. The portion is tiny, and for some reason, it comes with a pink rosebud on the side. In a feat of utmost masculinity, he starts singing an altered version...

This is science!

They do know that Beef is eaten in Asia, Africa, Oceana and South America also right????

Sure, but those eaters are members of minorities. It's whiteys who need to stop eating beef!

My Lakota ancestors ate bison, which is close enough to beef that they can be cross-bred, so these Leftist losers can fuck right off with their propaganda. The only truth to what they say is hidden in the bit about only the rich aristocrats getting to eat meat, which is to say that this is how they want it to be.

We could troll the Leftists with some images of Lakota tribesmen hunting bison, and titled "Manly Red Indian men doing manly things while manly!"

But seriously though - the real reason they complain of beef being thought "manly" is obviously that they want people to stop getting the nutritional benefits of eating meat. It's all about power.

Well yeah Monkeypox is not STD, as only 99% of cases were transmitted via sexual contact (the other 1% are children, who totally were not sodomized)
