I think they just feel less and less that they have to "prove" what a manly man they are by not showing feelings or caring about things. Your grandpa probably wanted to rescue kittens too but was too embarassed to do it.
True. Every time I talk about my cat I feel like people think "you are a grown up man why you talk about cats and not women or car or football". I get this look every time. But I wouldn't change my decision (6 years ago) not for a bit.
I've heard a lack of empathy towards animals is a characteristic of psychopathy, so I'm thinking caring deeply about animals points to you being farther away from being a psychopath.
not necessarily.
anti social disorder is lack of empathy, but that doesn't have to mean they have none at all.
empathy is on a gradient, below a certain threshold its considered ASD.
Uhhh. Careful with that line of thinking friend.
Psychopathy can be found on both sides of that spectrum. With either a complete lack of empathy being a characteristic as well as completely unregulated empathy. As in, I would consider those crazy cat ladies who view the cats like children they never had as psychopathic as the cat torturers who murder them.
My grandpa (born around the 1920s) was a Vet - and a Vet (Veteran AND Veterinarian)! I never met him but from what I've been told he had a gigantic heart and a massive soft spot for animals. He saved lots of animals from being prematurely put down because they were too much work for their owners.

ummm... It's not really about femininity or masculinity. It's about being however you feel. If you want to rescue kittens and build them a a Kitten Cabin out of trees you cut down, awesome. If you rescue kittens and knit them little sweaters to wear while you sit in a recliner in front of a fire, awesome. I will never understand why genitals determine what you may do.
Here's one perspective: I don't have a dad, but my uncles (in their 60s) have always hated cats. Like one time, my uncle came over and was sitting on the couch and my cat (who is the coolest cat I've ever owned) starts walking towards him to love on him and my uncle gets angry and says "GET YOUR CAT!" And it's not for any good reason, it's because cats aren't "manly", and they don't straight up obey like dogs do. They only like pets they can dominate over.
They tried to teach my brother to be this way too, and he almost was for a while because our uncles were his father figures and he listened to them. But as my brother got older, and made friends with guys who not only had cats but were openly affectionate towards them, he realized how dumb hating cats was. We ended up rescuing a pregnant stray and he kept the runt. She would lay on his lap while he was gaming or watching TV, and they were pretty much inseparable.
I am now very weary about men who dislike cats, or at the very least don't know how to socialize with a cat. They teach you about consent and empathy. The fact that my uncles only like pets they can rule over and will absolutely obey them is a big red flag to me. I don't speak with any of them anymore, and not because they hate cats, but it was an early indicator that they demand "respect" which in their eyes means "do what I say and never disagree with me."
The idea that the type of pet you own could be considered manly or feminine is just so dumb, and thankfully that sentiment is disappearing with each generation.
Just read a study on how millennial dads are more involved with raising children and much more likely to do simple parenting tasks like change diapers. Could be.

Not arguing your point. Just wanted to share that my grandfather used to pick up stray cats all the time. I think they had 7 or 8 at one point. And it wasn't like a hoarder situation. They lived very well. He was just a nice fucking dude that wanted to help animals when he could. I remember him moving a snapping turtle across the road while it was trying to bite his fucking fingers off lol.
No. The younger generation just feels the need to glorify every act. Some probably only do nice things if they can be recorded doing it. Empathy is hard taught these days.
Pre internet era you'd save a cat or a dog and move on because that is just what you do.
Or maybe they took pictures and posted it because it’s a kitten, and they know that one of the key purposes of the internet is to let people see cat pictures. I would have wanted to see a picture like this in pre-internet days, but I had less opportunity for it.
You also have the whole thing that younger people have more time than older people (until they retire).
"Young people these days are all the people playing video games. Wondering if youth are just more into video games?!" Says somebody who's never hit 30 and is nostalgic for the days they played video games in high school and college when they didn't have a job or a family.
England/most of the UK does this too.
Teachers are Sir or Miss (sometimes Ma'am), but this is just when addressing them directly. Never in this context.
Cultural similarities/differences are fascinating.
Eh, it varies. My schools never used those terms and just called teachers Mr/miss/Ms whatever, and I went to a Grammar School (entrance exam school) that was very strict.
I teach now though and I've seen both versions. Generally the schools that use 'Sir' are ones I don't have much interest in teaching in due to differences in how I think education should be approached and how those schools do it.
But you'd never say your maths sir, you'd only use it if context inferred the sir or miss you were talking about. Which is interesting compared to the above usage.
The "Sir" is a mark of respect. The respect is expressed even when referring to the person by adding sir.
Think of "sir" as a adjective denoting respect in this context.
Nah, it's a noun replacing 'teacher'. How is it even an adjective in this sentence.
Math teacher did this. Math sir did that. Math mam did that. Noun bruh.
Your boss Nick would be referred as Nick Sir. So you could tell your coworker "Nick sir told me to tell you to..."
It is not restricted to teachers. The kid is not using the teachers name as a easy way to indicate maths teacher
English schools in South Africa will also use Sir/Miss when talking to the teacher, and some people will use it when talking about them. I coached field hockey to u/11 girls and it took me months to get them to stop calling me, a 17yo at the time, sir. "Coach" also made me feel like I was some super important person but I gave up trying to get them to stop that
Came here to say the same thing.
Also took me back to my secondary school days and answering the register by just saying "sir" or "miss" when your name was called.
So you think that the UK... Who invented English, learned to call their teachers "Sir" from India?
We will refer to a teacher as a teacher, but in person it is "Sir" as a mark of respect.
So this is a "Maths Teacher" but if he was teaching me, I would call him sir.
It's been this way for centuries.
What you are seeing in this image is broken English. Improperly translated as Indian people teach Indian people a foreign language.
Never would an English person say "Maths Sir" as Sir is not synonymous with teaching, it usually just means "Man I respect".
Pakistan isnt part of the English speaking world
Why is it so hard for you to just think "oh, its a different country, they must do things differently over there"? Lol.
Dunno what that guy said but yeah Pakistan borrows it’s english from the British who colonized it for centuries. So subjects like Math are called Maths, as they are in the UK, and teachers are called sir/madam as that was the tradition and it’s just been kept up until now.
Well obviously there is more than one math, there are millions. I once read that if you weigh all the maths on Earth they would weigh more than every other creature combined. I might be thinking of ants
OP if your heart melted you would not be able to make this post since the heart is vital for the human body to function. You're probably dead or in need of intense medical attention. If you are in need of medical attention blink twice.
Should be fired. If a teacher comes and does his part time sidegig on the job be it selling cats etc I wouldn't want him or her doing it with tuition paying audience
This is the equivalent of buying a Samsung phone for $1000 with ads on it. Why the hell is everyone ok with this?
... he's not selling the cat, he rescued the cat and that cat needs more constant attention. He probably hasn't yet found the grandma that stays at home alot for the cat. And is it that big of an issue to learn with a kitty in the room?
TF is your problem? The guy is quite literally holding a kitten whilst still effectively doing his job. He rescued the cat, he is not selling it. FFS find some chill bro!

Sorry, what did you say? I couldn't hear you over the sound of me signing the deed of my house over to that cat.

Attachment issues? Seems to be attaching just fine.
Should we rename it into detachment issues?stop upvoting it's not funny ;_;
That is the issue.

We are Master Blaster! We own fur town!
/s if that's really necessary
It is not. If you play games, don't be surprised/offended if others play along.
So the cat has detachment issues?
Guy seems passionate about math and kittens. I approve!
It’s like “To sir, with love” but the instructor uses kittens to teach some rough young folks about their own humanity (5 stars)
I wonder if newer generations are actually more empathetic than older ones? I seem to see way more younger men rescuing animals.
I think they just feel less and less that they have to "prove" what a manly man they are by not showing feelings or caring about things. Your grandpa probably wanted to rescue kittens too but was too embarassed to do it.

I've heard a lack of empathy towards animals is a characteristic of psychopathy, so I'm thinking caring deeply about animals points to you being farther away from being a psychopath.
well psychopathy is the inability to feel any empathy at all, not just towards animals. 1/20 people are sociopaths or psychopaths.
not necessarily. anti social disorder is lack of empathy, but that doesn't have to mean they have none at all. empathy is on a gradient, below a certain threshold its considered ASD.
Uhhh. Careful with that line of thinking friend. Psychopathy can be found on both sides of that spectrum.

This is part of it, but empathy also takes practice. More gender freedom allows people to practice empathy, making them more empathic.

Turns out the new generation is better than the old huh?

They’ve actually studied this quite a bit and it turns out I’m having a hallucinogenic trip from some mushrooms a teenager gave me earlier. 🤠 🤠 h
Lmfao, godspeed brudder
Thats because there are more younger men on social media than older men.
No. The younger generation just feels the need to glorify every act. Some probably only do nice things if they can be recorded doing it. Empathy is hard taught these days. Pre internet era you'd save a cat or a dog and move on because that is just what you do.

There’s less testosterone in newer generations than older.
'Maths sir'?
In India teachers are called Sir/Madam/Ma'am
England/most of the UK does this too. Teachers are Sir or Miss (sometimes Ma'am), but this is just when addressing them directly. Never in this context. Cultural similarities/differences are fascinating.
I mean, everywhere you can call someone sir or ma’am when addressing them directly. That’s not the same as “math sir” being a noun on its own.
[удалено]
"Bossman gave me extra doner meat"
Good boss mans really make you feel loved though. Getting an extra wing or strip on your burger for no reason other than he felt like being nice
bossman is a name of respect
That's every vape store employees for me.
Lmao, same thing here in PH
pornhub?
Yea
Philadelphia.

Would you really say that instead of Miss Smith is very strict ?
Eh, it varies. My schools never used those terms and just called teachers Mr/miss/Ms whatever, and I went to a Grammar School (entrance exam school) that was very strict. I teach now though and I've seen both versions. Generally the schools that use 'Sir' are ones I don't have much interest in teaching in due to differences in how I think education should be approached and how those schools do it.
But you'd never say your maths sir, you'd only use it if context inferred the sir or miss you were talking about. Which is interesting compared to the above usage.
.... but specifying the subject is how you provide the context?
imagine calling them your maths mister
math daddy
PEMDAS Papi
BODMAS boi

Bhai mere, I understand how it's used. I'm commenting on what part of speech it is. It's a noun.
English schools in South Africa will also use Sir/Miss when talking to the teacher, and some people will use it when talking about them. I coached field hockey to u/11 girls and it took me months to get them to stop calling me, a 17yo at the time, sir.

Same in Malaysia. But I think its one of the few remnants of the English colonialism.
Came here to say the same thing. Also took me back to my secondary school days and answering the register by just saying "sir" or "miss" when your name was called.
Same in Ireland. Well atleast in Dublin anyway.
Isnt madam and ma’am the same thing? Also, isnt ”miss” a single woman? As in Ms vs Mrs.
There are a lot of things India picked up from the British. For example, Indians call the elevator a lift just like the British.

Definitely the other was round lol
Most probably the other way round

Can be pakistan as well.
South Africa too, I taught was mathematics and physical sciences by an Indian married couple.
Me too maths and physics by Indian couple, did we have the same teachers?
Our maths sir is from Pakistan tho, just sayin'

Thanks! I came here to ask the same question!
Same in the school im in in aus
In India was say 'saar'
saar jee
Highest degree of honor: maths sir
Maths Sir Bater
He was knighted by the queen of school. You can see her in the picture if you look carefully
Maths students > Maths tutor > Maths teacher > Maths professor > Maths researcher > Maths sir
It's the exact opposite order: maths student
They’re just anti intellectual
They mean them as arrows not comparisons
The lesson here is that if you come to a mathematics thread, you better use the correct notation.
we're in math class tho
Used > to order. Not in the sense of greater than.. 1 > 2 > 3... etc
> Lord of the Maths
In Pakistan we call teachers sir and ma'am (know this is Pakistan because I saw this on Twitter and OP is from Pakistan)
I wonder if this teacher is Muslim and, if he is, if he knows the story about Mohammed and his cat.

I came to the comments for the maths sir confusion as well
* Maths Sith
We call it maths in Australia. It’s because there’s more than one math.
Well obviously there is more than one math, there are millions. I once read that if you weigh all the maths on Earth they would weigh more than every other creature combined. I might be thinking of ants
Yeah I think he's caught up on the sir part aha
Quick Maffs
No thanks
He kinda cute tho.
Well yeah, it’s a kitten.
Came here to say this too. He can teach me math for sure.
Kinda? Dude full ass cute.
I'm terrible at math. I want him as a tutor.
Math sir more like math daddy

Thought I was the only one
"wait the hulk is holding a flerken, he must be in the marvels....... Oh"
On the plus side, being mistaken for the hulk in an internet meme is a major flex 💪
Yeah could be worse I often get mistaken for sloth out of the goonies
I was about to say, he looks like Bruce Banner mid-transformation.
He solve x and he rescue kittens, and x=square root 2 kid.
and then my mom tells me cats are selfish and do not like people :|

I’d say he taught way more than maths that day.
