“Equality can feel like oppression to the privileged.”
Except, no.
I see what you did there. You decided that swapping something in to show the injustice is a fair judgement of how unjust it is when it really isn’t.
Ok, what you say is correct, from a purely logical standpoint. But ONLY if (and this is always the catch), all of the logical terms are already equal.
If “men” and “women” are equal terms in the logic syllogism then your statement is both logically valid and factually true.
Buuuuuttttt, the terms “men” and “women” are…
They’ve tried that. It ends up with the same manbabies crying and threatening the women. Give the ladies their space. We will survive. It’s not permanent.
When women are targeted, harassed and attacked as a gender, then it’s important and extremely helpful for them to have a closed-doors session where they can actually open up about what they’ve experienced without fear of men associating their comments with specific people.
Tell men that a single room at a single event is off limits to them for a couple of hours and it’s a war crime to be tried at the Hague. Implement and nourish a work culture openly hostile for over a decade and “ThaT’S JuSt VieDEo GamES BRo”
Yay, I found a sane person!
I’m honestly as tired as the “John McCain was a terrible terrible person who no one should say nice things about” pieces as the “John McCain was last of a rare and noble breed of American statesmen” pieces. Dude died just yesterday, and in my universe, it’s still poor manners to interrupt other people’s mourning with…
And she can do all that while thinking McCain was a decent person.
Are people not allowed to be civil and even kind to whom they disagree with anymore?
I hate ALL Republicans, but John McCain earned my respect the day he defended Barack Obama while campaigning against him.
The only real piece of shit here is you. The man did more for this country than your stupid ass sitting on the couch.
I’m with you. You can say a lot of things about his politics but he’s part of a dying (or dead) era of politicians who revered those rules and customs and decorum that the rest of us are only now finding out are important to the continued function of democracy. I’m sure that sense of duty or honor - for lack of a…
I know it’s not a popular take around these parts, but I’m going to mourn John McCain.
McCain dies but thousands will live because of that thumbs-down. For that alone, may he RIP.
And you need to have that conversation about consent again - this time not in the context of telling a little kid about ‘stranger danger’, but in the context of talking to a sexually-active (very) young adult. Saying you already had that talk is like saying “well I told him about where babies come from when he was…
Yes.
