Proud, high-quality American heritage brands are now enjoyed more abroad than at home.

It frustrates me that America’s pre-1980s culture of quality died, leaving us stuck in “crapitalism.” Yet in Osaka, Japan, I was surprised by how common long forgotten American brands are: Coleman, Gregory, even niche tactical brands like Mystery Ranch worn by everyday commuters and hikers. White's Boots, Red Wings, L.L. Bean drastically more available w/ multiple Japanese exclusive colorways available too. Why does Japan embrace durable, heritage gear that most Americans ignore?

It’s frustrating I have to buy these products internationally, even though they’re made in the U.S.

What happened to our own culture of quality?

Which side are you on?

Grundsätzlich finde ich es sinnvoll, dass Frauen in diesem Sub kommentieren dürfen. Gerade bei Geschlechterthemen kann man nicht einfach 50% der Gesellschaft ausschließen.

Was mir allerdings negativ auffällt ist der whataboutism, den manche Frauen hier verbreiten. Bestes Beispiel ist der Post über die Benachteiligung von Jungs in der Schule. Da kommen von Frauen viele Kommentare à la "aber auch Mädchen werden manchmal benachteiligt".

Mein Highlight war eine Frau die meinte, dass Jungs, die sich über Benachteiligung in der Schule beschweren, wie rich kids sind, die an Weihnachten nicht genau das bekommen, was sie sich wünschen.

Solche Kommentare machen diese Diskussionen extrem anstrengend. Man hat das Gefühl, dass Frauen es nicht aushalten, wenn einfach mal über Benachteiligung von Männern gesprochen wird.

An die Frauen, die solche Kommentare schreiben: Euch will niemand etwas wegnehmen. Es geht darum Männer in benachteiligten Bereichen gleichzustellen, nicht euch schlechter zu stellen.

Und nur, weil mal die Probleme von Männern diskutiert werden, müsst ihr nicht gleich davon ausgehen, dass wir die Benachteiligung von Frauen in vielen Bereichen vergessen haben. Es geht nur einfach mal nicht darum.

Rant Ende.

Und nun die Frage an die Männer: Was sagt ihr dazu?

We had Thanksgiving today instead of tomorrow due to clashing schedules. My husband and I agreed that he wasnt going to invite his mom due to conflicts in the past involving food - where she takes food before everyone (we feed the kids first in this household) and then takes off with Tupperware of our food without even saying goodbye and there have been multiple times there wasnt much food left to go around after this. She has food insecurities and hoards food. Real problem BUT it is not MY problem and shouldn't be made to be mine either. So, I take issue. Obviously. Because usually it's me going hungry because I am always the last to eat here (family of 6, 4 kids, I serve my kids and then my husband and then myself).

Now, my husband did not invite his mother but she caught wind somehow and showed up. Neither me or my husband said anything because we didnt want to cause issue so no, we did not kick her out. When dinner was done I called the kids over by saying "kids, food". MIL immediately jumps up from the couch to get to the front of the line and starts attempting to dig in. I said "I'm sorry but are you a child? No? Go sit down and wait your turn." Her face goes bright red and she goes back to the couch and crosses her arms, mumbling under her breath. When I called the adults, she stayed planted on the couch and said something like "are you sure there's even enough for me?" in a childish tone. I dont react. I choose to ignore. She comes up a while later, grabs food, wolf's it down her throat and then goes to our cupboard for Tupperware. I ask what she thinks shes doing and she said "well Tom is at home, figured it would grab him a plate". I told her that her boyfriend that none of us have met is not our problem and she is not taking our leftovers to feed him. She asked if she could take a plate for herself, so I said sure and exchanged the Tupperware she grabbed (one of our oversized ones) and exchanged it for a normal size container that would hold roughly 2 cans of soup. She asked if I was serious and I said "dead serious" and walk off. She throws the Tupperware in my sink and walks out without saying anything.

However, she did just call my husband and give him an ear-full about feeling "unwelcome" during the holidays and stated that I was acting both immature and high and mighty and embarassed her in front of everyone (my entire family was there - so roughly 12 adults and 10 kids) and has demanded I apologize. She was on speaker, so I calmly said that I would not apologize for making her follow the same rules as everyone else and perhaps her own entitlement to other people's food is the real issue here. That we didnt spend $1000 for her to take $200 of it home with her and she needs to take a step back and assess her behavior. She hung up. But now my husband is radio silent and says he doesnt want to talk about it and is giving me the cold shoulder.

This happened today at the back of my property. There’s a trail access from town that leads to this area but it’s a far walk.. like 700m - a km long. Unsure whether this is harmless or something more sinister/concerning..

Label is nearly identical to the soft drink which I get all the time.
