even if this was 100% true (it isn't), this convo is happening bc of discourse around a woman who is making music inspired by u.s. culture w/ aesthetics inspired by u.s. culture & is marketing to the u.s. music market. so, the american perspective remains relevant regardless lol
My organizing experience has taught me that you simply cannot trust people who don’t have a bone-deep, violent hatred for the rich. It’s a far more reliable and enduring personal guardrail than a perfectly refined theoretical analysis will ever be
idk it just seems like some people are treating "i disagree/that's unreasonable/that doesn't make sense" as arguments against whether an arbitrary standard factually exists or not, which is not the case.
the iced coffee discourse is another example of people rlly struggling to understand that just bc smth shouldn't be a way that it is doesn't mean it's not that way
the thing is that you can really do whatever you want. it's all simply information. if you really want to bring an iced coffee or wear pimple patches to an interview and wouldn't wanna work at a place where it was a problem anyways, you can just do that???
again, very funny to use commentary dworkin latter explicitly disavowed given that her "sex radical" critics, the people who gave us the "sex positive feminism" these people think is the only real feminism, held the exact same views and very much never disavowed them
If the only time you bring up bioessentialism is when men are criticized or generalized you’re an extremely unserious yet specifically intentional & conniving person. Like yall only bring up that word to shut down any discussion directed at men quit with the pretense
Generational differences are fake. Everyone is rude. Everyone stares at you like a slack jawed moron. Everyone is more conservative and prudish. Everyone listens to short form content out loud on their phones in public places
>woman commits a horrible act
“ALL WOMEN NEED TO DIE REVOKE THEIR RIGHTS THIS INSTANT”
>man commits a horrible act
“okay but that’s just him not all men do that”
My thing is, what are yall actually doing to help women besides getting on here to type out this think piece for the 50th time? Because I can promise you warnings about the state of men have kept more women alive and safe than your cyber sympathy has ever done.
Patriarchy is so deeply rooted that WOMEN can walk into someone else's house as guests and still somehow end up in the kitchen.
While the MEN even from the host family get to sit back, relax, chill, enjoy the food, and talk about how much they sacrifice for their families. 🙄
