Sounds like a good opportunity for an Amazon Look device... ‘I didn’t say you looked bad, but Alexa doesn’t like your outfit!’

Agreed. Do you know how many trolls I dismissed who decided to tell me, a woman, that I was mansplaining mansplaining - which would not only be impossible since I am not a man, but it was mansplaining inception as they mansplained that to me. Bonus points for their attempts to derail the topic of this article to…
And an added plus of ensuring that disabled people can’t vote! /s
Mansplaining and being condescending are not the same thing. Mansplaining is a gendered behavior where the man assumes to know (more) about a subject by virtue of his gender and assumes that a woman needs it explained to her because of her gender. If it’s not a gendered situation, it’s not mansplaining.
Did anyone ever look at Donald or Keifer Sutherland for that?
Well, sort of. The whole Blade Runner franchise is ‘how horrible are we to those that we ‘other,’ and are we better than machines?’
It is difficult given that the white maleness is one of the (bleak) features of the world it’s in; and because many of the women would be programmed for men, they don’t have agency or -yet- really have the ability to function as leads. It is also presented that K seems to genuinely love his Joi, not because she…
I say that not as a ‘this is a super-feminist’ kind of film, but as a ‘an analysis of the issues of their society really demonstrates that the misogyny of their culture specifically and directly made it a dystopia.’ Eh, I’m on cold medicine and can’t describe it well, but I see the fractures in their society as being…
At the risk of being spoiler-y (warning! spoiler-y), the story ends up being pretty feminist and subverts a lot of the ‘white guy is the chosen one’ tropes. It also comes across that the civilization is in disarray partly because it doesn’t sufficiently see women and objectifies them too much. It was long but so…
Why? She has many opinions I disagree with, but she got tons of shit for years for something so mild - not beating someone, not killing someone, not raping someone. Granted ‘performative patriotism’ goes way too far in this country (see: Colin Kaepernick), but women doing even semi-to-full-eyerolling things are met…
Taylor Swift doesn’t have to be a great human being. But the fact that people are willing to pile on her in droves (some reasonable, much of it rather petty) is pretty damn misogynistic at its core. There’s a disproportionate amount of hatred towards Taylor, Kim K., and countless other women (regardless of their race)…
I’m saying that the larger narrative around abusive men like Chris Brown is that ‘he should be given a chance, everyone makes mistakes’ because men get pity for being horrible. In the meantime, as far as the sentiment here goes - Taylor Swift dares to breathe the wrong way and the wrath of internalized misogyny…
She lost a ton of work and who knows how well that tour will do - you forgot to mention how much Mayweather made. Who’s doing better? Let’s looks at Sinead O’Connor versus Sean Penn. Who’s career has been great after beating another human being, versus who was blacklisted for speaking their mind against systemic child…
Dude, don’t start with that trollish bullshit. Bobby Brown, R. Kelly, Chris Brown, and a whole shit-ton of black athletes have gotten away with these redemption stories, just like Charlie Sheen, Mel Gibson, Johnny Depp, and a shit-ton of white dudes. It’s a guy thing, not a race thing. How much did Floyd Mayweather…
My first, second, and final thought on this: Fuck. This. I am beyond sick of being expected as a woman to constantly perform emotional labor, to be the secretary to maintaining relationships in addition to all of the other myriad ‘responsibilities’ that society has attempted to guilt me into since I was a child. Fuck…
No one is arguing for that. When women give up wages, connections, and skills development to care for children and men do not, that is factored just like if it goes the other way - just because less men choose to care for their children does not make women have no agency. But this is the bullshit dudes say to try and…
You keep commenting yet you keep not understanding what a patriarchal system is. The family court system is not the only patriarchal system left, the entire country is one. Maybe what you mean to say is that the family court is the one system MRA jackasses like to hone in on because they think (incorrectly) that it…
Every factor you mention is also related to sexism and misogyny.
Or Selma Heyek, or Iman... oh yeah. Every woman you named is a WOC.
Your comment was solely about the tragedy of one term (which is not a slur at all) being offensive (because it’s about men), but you sure as hell didn’t complain about actual gendered slurs, like bitch, cunt, pussy, twat, and even terms like ‘vagina’ and ‘girl’ used in a negative manner - terms that are constantly…
