We live in a world where kindness is no longer the norm, where people justify their actions from a point of “superior” morality. “Let him who has not sinned cast the first stone”.
today an intern on my team pinged me asking if I can “glaze him” at his performance review so I pinged his manager asking if he can “rescind his full time offer” at his performance review
@A_GlrLHasNoName@cessadelove1@Sarabii_i We clearly see this differently and that’s fine. But my main point is that group-based hatred, whether misogyny or misandry, has never built a safer society. The goal/ conversation should be on accountability and structural change. That’s definitely worth more than the hate.
@kayla34williams@cessadelove1@Sarabii_i If I said “misogyny isn’t real” you’d correctly call that dismissive. The same logic applies. Denying that misandry exists doesn’t erase the behavior it describes. It just signals you’re comfortable with that particular hatred being normalized.
@A_GlrLHasNoName@cessadelove1@Sarabii_i So what you’re saying is that if I develop a phobia of women, out of my own experience with a small sample size, bias or stereotype of women, without a genuine conceived effort by women to oppress me, i can claim discrimination, regardless of reality?
@Sarabii_i@sugabelly@cessadelove1 Chastising is a strong word and I never claimed to be "good", but in that light, it's a multifaceted issue. Centuries of systematic oppression can't disappear by simply "addressing the wicked ones".
The truth is a system that works for the dominant sex in a society won't change
