Why do people hate math?
post #1

I know very few people who actually like the subject. I am a Mathematics nerd and can't relate to say the least. I only know a handful of people who like  solving equations and the subject overall. Do people hate it because they hate working with numbers and find it incrediblly boring, or is it because people are lazy and therefore give up too easily. I notice that when people say they hate Math, they aren't scrutinized the same way they are when it comes to other subjects like History and English. Why do you think that is.

 

If you couldn't tell, I'm a bit of a Math nerd wink

I was a math wiz in High School and College. Made it all of the way to Differential Equations. Some people just aren't math people and excel more with literature based subjects that involve reading and writing. I think people lack the discipline to stay the course when it comes to arithemetics, especially with anything beyond Algebra and Geometry.

People hate math because they are inferior at it.
Simple.

Its like tall people looking down on short people - they think they are better. In many ways, they are.

Math is the same thing, in reverse.

But they say short men are the ones who need to work on personality.

Go figure...

At least she acknowledges how awful her current state is. 🙄

Short people thrown into a conversation about eugenics on national news

Horrible that shortness is being touted as a disability, but the representative makes a good point about people (really women) doing this naturally anyway. It only becomes a problem though when men are the ones choosing the traits they want their offspring to inherit.

"Don't make height your entire personality"... Meanwhile: Tall people

An entire convention. And of course, short women are there.

You know if we had a meetup, there would be no admiration. Just jokes.

Why do people refuse to accept the struggles of short men?

I made a post on reddit, in some big sub. I tried to make an honest appeal to the normies there. I talked about the struggles short men face, and I didn't even bring up dating. I linked several statistics and talked about difficulties at the work place, bullying, depression and suicide rates, etc

The post got downvoted and nobody addressed any of the arguments. Some guy in the comments said I wrote it with chat GPT, which is hilarious considering it was very obviously not AI, and half the top posts there are AI. I got one gaslighting comment talking about how short guys live longer or something

Reddit is generally left wing. Aren't they supposed to care about oppression?

At least the right is honest.
