So I'm in the bathroom bored, doing business, and type into Google, "I'm pooping amuse me." I get back a bunch of Webmd type pages about pooping. About the fourth item down is diarrhea in women and almost every recommended page following is about women's health. I search, "Amuse Me," and get some hits for a ride and then a bunch of hits about tv shows with women as the main cast.
I type in, "I'm a man," and get a bunch of Spencer Davis group returns, fair enough. But I also got a hit on a Michelle Branch activist song, about the plight of women.
When did search engines become all about chick stuff?
Advertising, which is what search engines really are anyway, has been preying on the insecurity of women for decades.
I never realized how vulnerable women were to advertising until I got married. My wife is always wanting to try products advertised to her by the influencers she watches.
I tell her "You realize it's the same thing we're already buying but in a different package, right?"
When we went on our honeymoon she wanted to get a shirt from the place we visited that had the name on it. I told her we could order one for half the price on Amazon when we got back. She said it wouldn't be real if we didn't get it there. Once again, I told her they're all made in the same factory in Taiwan.
The Reddit posts from guys talking about how they blocked ads on their home network and it made their wife upset are completely real.
The Bible says women are more easily deceived.
Yup, and it's all corroborated by social studies that have showed they have no moral compass and are emotionally malleable via any kind of in-group bias.
Since the beginning. Bernays solely targeted women with his advertising work.
The entire magazine industry as well.
And they're the biggest spenders and consumers in society.
Despite not being the highest earners
Men flex on other men by flexing their muscles.
Women flex on other women by wasting all of her husband's resources.
Allow me to engage in some light sexism...
It's because men KNOW what they want and women browse, even on the internet. Like I've seen female friends/family feeds and they're a mess while mine is strictly on topics I want.
Yeah, I can second this. My wife's youtube feed and search history are an absolute mess and she has 18 tabs open at any given time.
Wow, I might be a woman.
Or a Boomer.
Boomers open new windows and use bookmarks.
I have 13 tabs open right now. 4 are linked together running an Archepelago-randomizer emulator gameset, 4 are wikis for those games, 1 is the PoE mainpage waiting on the download link, and 1 is Stable Diffusion, while the rest are tabs for this webpage... But I do have 13 tabs open at this given point in time. It's easy to have them rack up.
Yeah, but her 18 tabs are all products she wants to buy that I'm not letting her yet.
Oof, that's rough buddy.
You guys are pathetic lol.
Between browsers I have.....
Close to 300 probably.
Brave is my best friend. Tab grouping. Me gusta.
Bookmarks exist.
Touch grass man
Oh I feel that one so much. My wife is killing her computer with so many tabs.
Men procure, women shop. My dad was telling me that 30 years ago.
Around 80% of purchasing decisions are made by women. That's the demographic the advertiser's aim for. And it's not just in advertising either.
Women are easier to taunt and trick so all propaganda is aimed at them. Its probably not even the search engine at this point, its the shear breath of content framed for females.
The amount of times I've had women pass off medical knowledge they found on the internet is easily tenfold over men. So anything regarding health doesn't surprise me at all. Women love to act like doctors and fear monger based on something they saw on Web MD.
Also for that specific topic; a shocking number of women seem to be in chronic digestive dysfunction. They just cannot seem to get their healthy shits together.
How much of that is because women don't know how to cook and constantly order slop from DoorDash?
Could just be “machine learning fairness” algorithms. Google did it years ago where if you search white male in images, at least a handful of images will be white women, black men, trans, etc.
No.
Hate to break it to ya, but bitches be spending.
No, you don't have to hate that. It's good to be informative
Did it ever occur to you that maybe women are just more likely to look up information on pooping? Be it looking up stuff for babies and worrying if that's normal, or blowing their own irregularities, or wanting to know if they're 'normal', out of proportion your results will be influenced by what other people searching for similar stuff select.
Two other searches brought up female stuff as well. But to answer your original question, honestly no I didn't consider women might be more prone to search for pooping.
They're more panicky and neurotic about anything they think might be a health issue. This is what keeps WebMD in business.
Also, there are a lot of gastrointestinal issue that go along with pregnancy/childbirth and can persist after.
You're the second person to bring up pregnancy, I didn't realize weird pooping happened with pregnancy
Babies tend to push all the guts away as they grow in the womb. You don't just have your intestines squeezed into a corner and not expect to feel any side effects.
I would go consult a doctor because if your poops are so long that you need amusement during them you have a serious condition.
You probably aren't wrong. But I also take some medicine that can cause pooping.
A good 5 min poop is healthy and enough time to browse.
Dont be a retard
Hell even 60 seconds is enough to get my phone out and shit post some. Not much else to do but hum.
Certainly not going to say there isn't bias but... you effectively searched "health stuff" and "men." You might as well have searched astrology or true crime.
Are victim blaming here, lol?
About 2019 apparently is when google search stopped being useful. Nothing nefarious just normal bullshit. There's a decent summary blog I remember reading from a guy who used to work there, IIRC basically the marketing division got a bit more power within google and used it to affect search results, essentially reducing the effectiveness of search so people would have to search again, for double the ad impressions. It made more money so naturally the process grew.
But that's why the first page of Google is now 10 different pages of the same "authoritative" website and "search within results" is no longer a feature.
A similar issue is how every news article about struggles with dating/relationships/marriage, is always about women's struggles with dating/relationships/marriage or written for women. These articles are never written about or for men.
Probably something to die with advertising.
Urging an AI over and over to amuse you isn't "using a search engine", it's heading down the path of being a brainwashed retard.
pull your head out of your goddamn ass
I'll put your advice where it belongs.
"Siri, write a response to this asshole for me, then set navigation for 'Home' because I can't find it by myself"
Have a lovely day friend
OP you basically asked google to entertain you because you couldn't get bored. I couldn't think of a search string that is more Female encoded than literally typing "why is my vagina doing X"
Sorry for being an asshole. Now I'm going to offer a loving suggestion. It may be something you already do; if so, forgive me and know I just want people to think for themselves rather than abdicating their thought processes to AI.
I've noticed that many people wonder about a lot of things but never actually go searching for any answers. Was standing around a bonfire the other day with a group of folks who were all speculating about how hot the cinders were and wishing they knew but not one of those fuckers thought to actually find an answer. When I looked it up they acted like I was a genius for being able to find information.
I grew up in the 70s waiting weeks for the opportunity to go to the library and use the encyclopedias or possibly being able to find a book or use a microfiche machine to read old articles about a subject I was interested in. Knowing Things took real fucking effort and a fuckton of patience. Now we live in the Age of Information with so much at our fingertips and nobody knows how to fucking investigate anything. Swear to fuck it drives me insane.
Follow your natural curiosity and interests and actively pursue knowledge you are interested in. Formulate some questions about the world you live in that truly get you to perk up with curiosity and become a willing and eager student of something, anything, which fires you up.
Use this opportunity to gather knowledge on the internet rather than just mindlessly entertaining yourself. We didn't have this opportunity to learn about ANYTHING WE WANT just a few decades ago and it honestly might be a temporary luxury. TPTB want the internet stripped and sanitized and used for indoctrination only, and if that happens future generations will have no fucking clue the treasure trove that was lost.
These attitudes about women and advertising must be generational and based on equally-brain-damaged males projecting bc women are observably more neurotic and conscientious so households rely on them to be stocked w stuff.
I never give what's in my house even a first thought- that's women shit. Of course ads then target my wife, who does care about all that shit
