I just seems like there's always a way to identify sexism in absolutley everything in existence, and there's some motivation to do so among some people.

I bet I could find sexism in nature among insects and even plants.

Cant your signature gif be sexist too then? Does that gif imply that a woman's ass the only thing that matters about her existence? Who is that woman in your gif? Has she been relegated to only doing sexual stuff?

It's not really so much inside outside it's that people need time apart and everyone hates doing certain things.

Male ants and bees really have it hard. Praying Mantises. You know sometimes male octopi have their dicks ripped right the fuck off by that pussy? True story. It's like the movie, Teeth, but real life

well yeah, because just about everything in existence up to about the past 100 years has been designed for men
that whole patriarchy word that scares folks so much
and there is some motivation among some people to try and immediately discredit discussion on the matters

Quote:

trees said:

Sure, it has been accused of such plenty

Quote:

Almost, it is my ideal ass
for me
as a woman, that turns it into "internalized sexism" where mens standards are considered to define my standards for my own self

conversely, there are other branches of feminism that disagree with that
and emphasis that sex positivity is important to women
because women have only recently been afforded sexual agency, and need to keep it from being taken away again

Manuela Arcuri, Italian actress
that is a single scene in a non-pornographic film from Italian cinema

It's more like...as a woman...you pretty much kind of disappear after a certain age. That's the pervasive feeling. Like when you're not sexy anymore all you can do is just go be old and take care of other people.

Really kind of sucks. And you are aware of it and feel it from a very young age, so it can make the whole process of adulthood after 25 particularly depressing.


Anyway, I know black people too :elmo: And they think all kinds of different things about a very large issue, because they're people and that's what people do :elmo::elmo:





That's such bullshit though, not to say that in an offensive way PB. I'm 30 yo man...




Please note that a woman spoke about what she feels like her experiences are as a woman
and your immediate response was to tell her that was bullshit, then explain your opinion on how women should feel from your perspective as a man



You're well aware that her feelings are directly related to her perception of other's feelings, an appropriate response is elucidation and that's what he provided. One should not have to share genders to share thoughts and opinions.






When your gender has directly shaped your experience on this world then maybe it actually does have some relevance to the conversation at hand - particularly if it's related to gender related issues. Perhaps there are certain things that are self imposed, but others definitely are not. We live in a very similar world because we're both lucky to live in western countries, but it's not the same at all. There are certain things I've definitely gotten away with where a dude would not have, for sure. I can safely say that there are advantages, sure. Have you and a disturbingly high amount of your friend group been raped and/or sexually assaulted? probably not. So no, I don't think we're really living in the same world here. Even if we have made some progress and we're super lucky to live where we do in our respective nations.


Anyway my intention is not to co-opt this thread with my own shit.

They should get rid of the abomination that’s inside the jug labeled Aunt Jemima. The shit is gross and the world deserves better.

I'm not really sure what you're getting at. All I was saying is his opinion isn't invalid, he was providing perspective even if him using "bullshit" was disliked I guess? It just seems like you're making assumptions and trying to imply my mild opinion of him having something relevant to say is in itself invalid because I'm a man and I live in Canada. I mean really he was trying to make you feel better and Tantrika was just telling him to watch his language and check his privilege. Then your response is yes, pls check privilege flippity head Canada man. I understand you may be trying to show me how you might start forming such opinions, and I will admit I've had a drink or two, but trying to communicate that you may be slightly more right than me doesn't exactly inform one that that they're wrong, it just seems more like arguing for the sake of arguing.

lol we can call it this.


But really it was the 'you shouldn't need to identify your gender to voice your opinion' and I mean, theoretically I guess I agree with that. In reality I was just saying that we probably have some very very different experiences based solely on our genders, and different perspectives that are not only worth bringing up but probably something that more people should talk about in general.


I don't want to argue though, I'm not trying to, I'm super tired it - I think we probably agree on more things than we disagree on, that paragraph just got away from me a bit.

Sara came in to thread, talked about racism and sexism issues
bunch of guys made fun of her for talking about racism issues, and a number of times by association sexism issues
because she is white

woman in this thread talks about her experiences as a woman
man tries to tell her his opinion and how he thinks she should feel, rather than acknowledge the reality of what she feels from what she has experienced
Tantrika chimes in noting that it is, again, just like the the case of a white person telling black people what to feel

it was not about him needing to watch his language or check his privilege
it was about how his not doing so to begin with had made him guilty of the same sort of behaviour everyone made fun of Sara for earlier
but everyone will rush to the defense of such behaviour

pirate did not seem to be telling you to check your privilege either
just simply trying to reinforce that as much as trees sentiment is nice
the actual lived experience and common social messaging are not

but do not wish to attempt to speak for her, just recognize she was not being confrontational in all this

I have this theory, because I've met some really tough women, who seemingly have no problem correcting the behavior of dumbasses. And I've also seen some tough women effortlessley stomp on dudes heads when they tried some non consensual sexual shit.

Women have so frequently been led down a path to vulnerability since childhood. In the form of pollypocket, barbie and flowery fluffy pinkness and "everything is just a fluffy pretty reality"

In adulthood, they take for granted all the work they do in the form of makeup and hair appointments and all this beauty based shit to "look good" translates directly to "fuck me" to the male monkey brain.

So that in combination with never being taught self defence, results in lots of rape and sexual assult that could be been avoided, had the woman been more adapted to survival.

If I have a daughter, I'll give her tools and equipment and motorbikes to play with, and I'd teach her all the tricks on how to deter and destroy a sexual predator.

That's an insult to everything we pride ourselves in as Canadians. The best maple syrup comes in a can or jug that looks kinda sketchy but you know it's good.
