I was raised by very progressive, social worker parents who would teach me about kindness, being the bigger person, understanding others etc I got bullied mercilessly.

Next time someone says misoginy kills and misandry doesn't, that's a good link to provide them. To shut people's emotion off because of "privilege" is to take away their ability to protect their own life.

I'm not seeing what you are seeing in this post. In my understanding it's not arguing women had equal power to men, but that the idea that patriarcal institutions left women as a powerless "class" are a gross caricature. Power of infuence is generally overlooked. We often count only institutionnal power as "power", and that's how western "democracies" can pretend they are not ruled to a great extent by multinationals. But we also all know it's not true. Likewise the wives, mothers and mistresses…

Was bout to write just that. "Internalized" misoginy is a term coined to blame others (men) for women's (alleged) misogyny. It's not yours, you've "internalized" someone else's because of course no woman could ever be responsible for her own misogyny. As usual with current pop feminism it takes all agency away from women. Not only as maker of their own thoughts, but also as able to understand their own thoughts. "You can't possibly truly think that, it's just misogyny that was injected in your b…

Interesting math here. a third of victims are male 26% of investigated cases involve male victims men are 2,5 times less likely to report So it's not really a third, is it? 2.5×26% seems more than a third to me.

The aspect of it that irks me the most is how often the death of a male character is painted as a comeuppance for even a minor wrong. In an action movie, if you're a minor character and: - say something sexist - say something "obejctifying" - act in a threatening way towards a female character - look at a woman in a "perverted way" - "mansplain" - "manterrupt" - "manexist" You are going to die a gruesome death the movie will paint as a fair comeuppance.

Interesting. You can feel "The Patriarchy" coming indeed. But the US are not the center of the world. There were women's movements in Europe before that that were not like that. European feminism is being taken over by what used to be a fringe movement from America and that's a tragedy. I refuse to give them the legitimacy of being "the original" feminism. Radical feminism is a perverted, calvinist form of feminism that needs to be treated as what it is: a hate-based ideology.

The declaration of the rights of women and the (female) citizen by Olympe de Gouges is taken to be the first feminist manifesto. It was written in 1791. The word "feminism" in its current use was coined by Alexander Dumas in 1872. Radical feminists and their "theory" of The Patriarchy" love their historical revisionnism and US-centrism. I don't. They don't own feminism, they are the cancer of feminism.

Agree with most, just let's not give in to the idea that radical feminism is a return to the "roots" of feminism. Patriarchy theory is an invention of the 60's-70's.

"Equality for the privileged often feels like oppression." There's a reason this quote is attributed to the men's movement, and not the women's movement (it came from a men's rights Usenet group circa 1995). Do you have any more info on that? It's interesting. You see this quote thrown at the men's movement all the time.

That debate is typical "false consciousness" preaching. The idea that what we do is not as important as "the spirit" according to which we do it. The people objecting to "women's objectification" will have no problem with chippendales, male prostitues or absurd body standards for men, because the "spirit" is not the same. True debates about dignity are not about how we think, but what we actually do. What is important isn't wether strip tease or prostitution or porn are "objectifying" but whethe…

Discussing the question of single-parent households among black Americans without mention of prison and the "war on the drugs" seems a bit disingenuous. The ideas he develops seem to make logical sense but he doesn't support them with anything. Poverty traps are a well known issue of welfare programs, and they do often financially incite people not to be in in couples, but the relative weight of various factors is a significant question, especially with the insane size of male prison populations…

There are places you can pay for a surrogate. Adoption laws vary though. Yeah. Most countries, including western countries, outlaw it and do not recognise children born abroad in that manner. Mainstream feminism is fighting tooth and nail to make it that way everywhere. And both gay and straight men have close to no access to adoption. Only women and the people they are in a couple with have a decent shot at it.

In her case I see it more as the magic of intersectionnality. She clearly is hating specifically the cis white male. If every qualifier of "opression" you have makes you a better person being a cis woman puts her up the top because she's a woman twice: it's her sex and her gender. One is enough to not be evil, but two is better. Of course a few more qualifiers are necessary to allow her to present herself as superior to her fellow oppression medalists. Thankfully she is a lesbian and "not white"…

I wouldn't go that far. The traditional role of men is to protect women and children from the needs and harms of the outside world, while women were supposed to shield the men from the needs and hurts of the domestic world. Fathers were not supposed to know or even care how the house was kept in shape, food was served and how the emotional or physical needs of the younger children were met. In my culture children even ate separately with their mother, before the parents had the proper meal toget…

"Patriarchy runs so deep that I defend hypothetical men’s feelings right away, even to myself. [...] I still feel it, the slow poisonous drip of cultural conditioning that tells me to prioritize men." Not only defending: even having a thought considering basic empathy towards men is poison.

There are two definitions of patriarchy: the actual one and the radical feminist one. I won't discuss the latter, because ugh, but the former is "a system of society or government in which the father or eldest male is head of the family and descent is reckoned through the male line." (Oxford dictionnary) It's a question of private law and inheritance, not about power structures.

When I was in school the result of doing that far outweighed the result of reporting it. Same here. It really depends on your context, you should be smart and do what's going to be useful to you in the reality that is yours. I was severely bullied throughout school and reporting only ever made it worse. School authorities essentially saw it as a sign that I was abnormal and weak and tried to set me straight by harassing me as well. Good times. Boys are not always given the protection they should…

There needs to be a term to designate this new brand of pseudo-left that concentrates on victimhood and identity politics rather than class struggle and actual (rather than imaginary) power structures. They started to call themselves woke, so I believe it's fair to use that word.

I used to not mind, and even see it as a positive in a world of homophobia, but it seems like it's turning around to bite us now. Gay men are the "straight white males" of the gay world apparently now, and we are being asked by the mediasphere to take a step back from a movement for liberation we carried so that straight and straight-adjacent people (bisexual-when-drunk girls, cis-presenting non binaries, "xenogenders", "demisexuals"...) or people who have nothing to fight for anymore (lesbians)…

The majority of the people that write and draw these headcanons look only on the surface and don't look too deeply. OK now I get where you were getting at. They see two men being close and supportive and can only see it through the lens of romantic love, even if it's explicitly not that. Women writing gay romance tend to see it as a power imbalance, like Frodo and Sam, rather than equals overcoming their difference, like Gimli and Legolas.

As a serious Tolkien enthusiast, I do not think this article is shitty at all. It is well supported both in- and out-universe. There isn't just one way of reading a good work of fiction, and Tolkien's are of spectacular depth and quality.

"False consciousness" is a sweetheart of "neo-marxists" (I call them post-marxists) who like to concentrate on identity rather than class. It's a foundation of radical feminism. No surprise there as it makes it possible to tell someone: "Your life might be good, you might not feel like you're victim of sexism or sexual violence, but you secretely are." To that end it uses a few logical shortcuts. What one member of an (arbitrarily designed) group lives is not the oppression of another member of …

This is truly awesome work!! One thing might be missing though: Forced separation from the child. A woman going through with the pregnancy and then giving the child up for [adoption] without the consent or even knowledge of the father is a horrifying situation that does happen. Sometimes the family of the mother will forcefully give a child she wants for adoption too. And forced abortions are also definitely a thing.

I only see two broad wings in the movement: liberal feminism, the original, and radical feminism, now dominating. Radical feminists have a variety of flavors but overall they are the same hateful, cult-like bunch. TERfs vs non-TERFs is a technicality. Trans rights are important, but their disagreement over that doesn't make a big difference in their overall view of the world. Just like the non-homophobic fascists of Northern Europe are still very much fascists.

I've been working for 10 years in the fight against poverty. I can promise you agressivity is not what makes people homeless. Anyone can become homeless given the wrong circumstances. Homelessness is usually caused by domestic violence, poverty, addiction, job loss, debt, child support, illegal residence or a combination of the above. It's a question of falling off the net of society, and then not being able to get back on it (which is extremely difficult). Mental illness sometimes factors in, b…

That makes sense. Homelessness cuts you from human interaction to a torture-like degree. People treat them like subhumans.

They need to feel like they exist and projecting themselves into someone's consciousness like that must be an attempt at that.

I wouldn't say they have no place in politics. To the contrary, politics is ideologies confronting each other. Science has no place in politics. It shouldn't be open to ideological debates.

These infamous numbers are indeed from theOKcupid study. I would be surprised if they are applicable in real life. Women peak early in terms of dating success, and people tend to be young on dating websites. That's my theory.

I agree. If the question was only "are female leads a problem?". Of course they aren't. Katniss Everdeen is awesome. Hellen Ripley is awesome. Sailor Moon is awesome. But female leads as they are often done today are different. When they take the place of a male, they are instantly better than him and the movie makes a point of humiliating/discarding the male predecessor. It often also makes a point that she's better because she's a woman ("new and improved"), and the scenario usually revolves a…

I do not think false accusations are less horrible than rape. I did have a few encounters with false allegations and their consequences (not as a victim of allegation, thank God I'm gay and pretty much immune nowadays). It's horrific. Barbaric, merciless public lynchings. Rape is one person attacking you in one moment. False accusations turn the whole world against you for who knows how long. And it does skew my perspective on alleged rape victims. I never know if they are actually a victim, or …

Agreed. This nugget says a lot: Maybe if we had been better at responding to accusations, if we had better recognized the deep-seated misogyny and objectification of women on our campuses, we would not have experienced the backlash that came when those women found their voices. Maybe they would not have been so extremely, legitimately, pissed off.

True, human history has multiple factors. However this debate essentially boils down to marxist vs "neomarxist" analysis. Are the material factors what generate the cultural factors, or the other way around? I strongly believe in the former. Culture is something we evolve to adapt to current physical reality and technology. Surely exceptions happen to the usual gender roles, like the Dahomey Amazons. (I'm pretty intrigued by the one you mention in China, any more detail?). But they are indeed ex…

My take on this is that "The Patriarchy"TM and the "historical oppression of women" come from imposing a blind perspective on history. Applying modern realities to a species that modern technology has recently changed. The difference between men and women that shaped gender roles throughout human history is biological. Women get pregnant and lactate. This did not use to be optional. People were very rarely unmarried. It was terrible thing for anyone, as you only had your family to rely on. Marri…

IMO any monetary aid has to be made based on current situations, not 150 years ago. I often forget that openly racist policies can be a thing in some places. Obviously, OBVIOUSLY, monetary aid, or any other form of individual right, should be awarded exclusively based on current situation. The question here was should people feel a sense of responsibility for situations they are not directly responsible for.

I'm a bit puzzled here. White people in America alive today never sold slaves indeed. But they did inherit an advantageous position. They are born, on average in better neighborhood, with more inherited wealth and privilege because their ancestors were on the right side of the slave system. Same thing for colonization.

But it's not. If your ancestors were slaves, most likely you are at a serious disadvantage today. If your ancestors were women, congratulations you are like 100% of the population. There is no hereditary connection. Same thing with gay issues. It doesn't mean gay issues were not very serious. But just like women's issues, they are not hereditary. It's just not the same.

Although I agree with what you are writing, I think we should be careful not to be too hyperbolic. Comparing men to slaves is a bit much. Men are not put on boats as cargo against their will to be auctioned off across the ocean (mostly). One of the problems of feminists is their abuses of language. Like killallmen but they don't really mean it. Let's not be like that. It makes them seem childish and unreasonable. We can't afford to be seen that way.

Comparing women's rights to slavery is quite inappropriate as I see it. First because women's condition and slaves condition weren't even remotely close on the horrific scale. Second because womanhood isn't hereditary. People who have slaves for ancestors have inherited their lower socio-economic status and even part of their trauma through epigenetic. It is clear and demonstrable that black communities in the Americas still live in poorer neighborhood, with lower levels of service and fewer opp…

He mentioned how minorities are especially affected by police violence targeting the homeless. Nothing on men's large overrepresentation among the homeless. Furthermore, three specific situations were given airtime, two women and a straight couple (the woman was talking). Almost as if it was a women's issue.

But even if we concede to that and accept the term, if it is misused too many times then it becomes toxic itself I believe we should refuse the generalized use of "toxic" that has spread like wildfire over the last few years.

It depends where I suppose. I'm a bit older than you and violence by teachers was not allowed or tolerated except on rare occasions when I was in school (the occasional slap in the face). Doesn't mean they weren't awful, but not in a physical manner. I am so sorry to read you went through that abuse. Sitting on a kid like this is horrific.

Suffice it to say I’m no longer in the “believe women by default” camp after these experiences. "Believe women" should be "believe people".

You're not going insane. In the 50's MacCarthyism executed a purge of Marxist intellectuals in the US. This created a void among left-wing sociologists that had to be filled. It soon was by a new set of theories, chief of which gender theory, a.k.a. "The Patriarchy". These theories are usually identified as neo-marxists, but I say they would more aptly be named post-marxist, because they take the stance Marx explicitly rejected: that the superstructure (cultural constructs) is where the tension …

The explanation is "tucute" ideology. They are a new "brand" of "transgender" people who believe you do not need dysphoria to be trans, only gender "euphoria".
