I really need people to know that Helen Keller did fly a plane and yes, this fact alone is the crux of a lot of weird Keller-denialism. It's ironic that the woman in the post is suggesting the man mentioning Keller is ignorant for confusing her with Earhart, because he wasn't. He is ignorant for thinking the Keller story is unbelievable, however.

I'm getting whiplash here.

First I'm told there's a guy who didn't know the difference between Helen Keller and Emilia Earhart.

Then I'm told that Helen Keller really did fly a plane, and that the guy wasn't misspeaking.

And now I have to grapple with the fact that the guy wasn't stupid, but rather a conspiracy theorist, and that "Helen Keller conspiracy theorists" are a real thing.

Welcome to the party, my friend. It's BYOB and nobody brought beer.

More of a wine guy here, but I always bring extra.

The thing about the "there's no way she flew that plane" thing is so annoying is that it's not even that bold of a claim. They flew her up, she flew for a bit with someone there to take control if something bad happened, then they landed.

[–] Vespair@lemmy.zip 21 points 5 days ago

Literally. I don't mean this to diminish Helen Keller, but the sort of "flying" she did was the same as when they let a kid into the cockpit.

Given her conditions, this is still absolutely an accomplishment and worth applauding. But to suggest that there is anything remotely unbelievable about it would require a fundamental misunderstanding of the reality of the situation

I think it's worth mentioning that this was a publicity stunt. Keller wasn't a pilot by trade.

Are you afraid to offend someone by typing the word ass?

Helen Keller flew a plane. She slept with both these men?!

Reminds me of the sexy guy I met at the hotel pool the day before my breast cancer surgery and his only hesitancy was "Is it contagious?"

Jesus fucking CHRIST.

Knew a lady that had four sons with her first husband. Wonderful woman in every way, the boys took after dad. Tall and handsome, dumber than chicken shit and always drink the bottle empty. Nice guys, but I swear they quit breathing while they are trying their shoes. Met someone who knew her in school, she was only sorting for looks and fun. Paying for that now.

Your body, your choice.

In the current typhoon of men behaving badly in the US and the ongoing response and safety movements often advocating romantic abstinence, sometimes the observation is made that not every woman — even those pledged to the movement — is on the same page.

And then there's the abstinence-until-marriage doctrine of white Christian nationalists, in which young women pledge to preserve their virginity until their one-and-only trad-minded husband puts a ring on it. (Young men might take a similar pledge, but they're not held to it and in fact are pressured to get some early experience. Double standards and inconsistent value systems and all that.) Yet, a conspicuous fraction of these (sometimes underage) young women overestimate their willpower, frequently contributing to the disproportionate rate of teen pregnancy in school districts that have committed to abstinence-only sex-ed.

Then there's the women's magazine I remember reading during the COVID-19 lockdown, that asked readers to write in their stories when they needed the d so badly they risked infection by a stranger to get it. There were a lot of confessional replies.

And all this is to say, sometimes a girl has needs.

Y'know, I didn't really think about it during the American Pie era, but I'm just gonna say it: if the boys are supposed to be getting experience, and the girls are supposed to not be, who are the boys having sex with?

The homies, don't forget to kiss them good night after though

This is basically Ron DeSantis and his pronunciation of "Thai" food. It's gross. Don't sleep with someone like that.

There are plenty of people that are genuinely this stupid and haven't read a book or learned a single piece of new information since 5th grade.

[–] HalfSalesman@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

God, I wish I was a moron.
