1	According to feminists, learning foreign languages is "misogynistic racism"? however, i gotta ask where the fuck your sense of priority gone? I care about veiled racism, and it doesn't take away from caring about more egregious prejudice and discriminatory behaviors. I don't have a checklist drawn up, but I'm wondering why there has to be a list of priorities? It sounds like you'll pass over these really easy things to bring up and discuss if the opportunity presents itself, because you'd rather "prioritize" on "bigger issues"? Like, you can join the discussion here, too…	/r/MensRights	18/05/18 02:34 PM
1	According to feminists, learning foreign languages is "misogynistic racism"? There's literally billions of us, and we only have finite energy to talk about issues? No, my dude, I think you meant to say that you have a limited number of fucks to give, so you pick and choose the issues that makes you feel the best to engage in. I see you're one of those "it's a meme so it's okay" excusers. As if being a meme makes this all okay; that there's zero implications of racism and there's nothing to talk about. You're also pretending that this whole thing was really about Asians p…	/r/MensRights	17/05/18 12:01 PM
1	According to feminists, learning foreign languages is "misogynistic racism"? Yeah, you don't get it. It's fine. Just take everything literally and completely ignore the intent and spirit of the message. Because we're on a fucking debate team here and that's the side you want to be on. Good for you. We'll consult with you in the future to see on future Asian American issue, to see if you'll let us be offended by it or not. Thank you for being such a great gatekeeper.	/r/MensRights	16/05/18 08:20 PM
1	According to feminists, learning foreign languages is "misogynistic racism"? I'm not on a debate club here. There doesn't have to be one of two side that I need to be on. This is about trying to share a perspective that no non-Asians have considered, but apparently are not interested in hearing. I'm not here to sell you anything and you don't have to love everything I say; but at least hear me out before shutting me out for simply not jumping on a MRA bandwagon here. Ironically, for a group of people who wish society can be egalitarian and consider men's struggle, a lot …	/r/MensRights	16/05/18 05:39 PM
2	According to feminists, learning foreign languages is "misogynistic racism"? So how about if some of us think this is still a problem, when we leave the "appropriation" aspect out of this? Would we have your permission to speak out? Which line do I need to stand to fill out that requisition form?	/r/MensRights	16/05/18 04:03 PM
1	According to feminists, learning foreign languages is "misogynistic racism"? Or there's literally not the same exact regard, treatment, and outcomes when Asians do Asian things vs. Non-Asians doing Asian things. And it's because you can't even fathom that possibility, without assuming that people are just playing oppression olympics, is what's making the problem worse. You can choose to take a reductive approach that makes yourself comfortable, but you should also then consider staying out of the conversation if you're not going to take it seriously.	/r/MensRights	16/05/18 03:53 PM
0	According to feminists, learning foreign languages is "misogynistic racism"? it's not questionable by any means. A lot of people, especially older folks, didn't understand that it was a reference to Ethan Klein's "Papa Bless" meme, and easily mistook it as mocking the namaste pose. Those who did know that it was a meme, used it as an excuse and attempted to quell any further discussion. It is questionable on some level because of how easily people mistook the gesture. So we should be able to discuss it if we want to. Plus, saying that it's a meme does not absolve the fac…	/r/MensRights	16/05/18 02:52 PM
0	According to feminists, learning foreign languages is "misogynistic racism"? That's one of the "muh double standards" I kept seeing. Let's circle back to this when you're made fun of for wearing jeans and told to go back to your country, but when an Asian wears it, it's suddenly cool and trendy. Think about the question again, but this time, consider the context of unequal power dynamics and how only certain aspects of Asian culture is cool (especially when non-Asians is doing it), but the history and people as a whole can still be made fun of.	/r/MensRights	16/05/18 02:28 PM
-8	According to feminists, learning foreign languages is "misogynistic racism"? This one might've been taken out of context, and not necessarily a feminist stance. I saw this exchange on Twitter, don't know who that account belongs to, so I have no idea if this was really a staunch feminist trying to promote an ideology. Recently, you may have heard about this 18-year old teenage girl who wore a Qipao to her prom, and took some questionable photos. It went viral with an Asian guy retweeting with "My culture is not your prom dress". This sparked a huge controversy, especiall…	/r/MensRights	16/05/18 01:26 PM
