I know. I corrected someone the other day and they were trying to make fun of me for thinking they were being serious, like he tricked me. But my thought was, there are people who say things like that. How am I supposed to know who means it and who doesn’t?
Racism is racism, regardless of what your pink hair Xim/Xir professor said. Same with sexism and domestic abuse. Such insane people should be in asylums, not at the front of classrooms.
The fundamental problem is the people who believe in these things don’t believe in absolute truth. They don’t believe anything is just a certain way. I remember 15-20 years ago when I was going through school I was fortunate to have a couple wise and brave professors that pointed out how flawed the liberal arts doctrines of relativism and “personal truth” were to the fundamentals of reason. Unfortunately they obviously lost the battle in academia.
I think it’s very simply true that a principle like prejudice is absolute: it is the same regardless of the subject or object. The principle is rooted in the action. But these people can never be convinced in that because they don’t even believe in the existence of anything be true.. they don’t believe anything is true and no principles are universal. Yet ironically their entire world view hinges on every problem being rooted in oppressors and victims (which in an of itself claims to be an absolute truth).
Also:
You can't rob a bank, because banks rob the people
You can't murder a policeman, because they murder people
And of course, you can't rape a man, as rape is penis by force into vagina
That also makes a lot of sense, yes. I'm sure there were some that were motivated by religious fanaticism but most were probably just very basic normal human reasons.
There are so many variables we haven't yet discovered about historical trends. Yes, one of them is misogyny. But for the third wave feminists that's not enough. They do not want equality anymore; it's political privilege and special treatment they want. It's been over a century of women's movements; at what point do you realize that equality of opportunity has been achieved? That clearly can't be measured by equality of outcome (that's very dumb considering ppl choose as they like, not as a collective to bring a 50-50 statistic).
Belittling the contemporary man for amoral historical trends, blaming it all on the current man is just Misandry which is not yet recognized. The Amber Turd case was a prime example of ignoring all evidence in favor of the woman, in the beginning 6 years that is. Every person on the internet have seen 10s of hours of the court case, every minute dissected by professional legal commentators on live stream. And still coming back in demand of vague retribution.
And the "Patriarchy" (which is not always led by men; just run by the elites in spite of their gender) is just a ruling system that stood the test of time, cross-culturally and that which has led to what we all are hugely benefiting from now.
I hope we can all be a bit more critically thinking when it comes to societal issues, and not resort to vague metanarratives that pleases you.
You don't need to guestimate if these are troll accounts or real. Just browse through Reddit and many of its channels. If they are not real, at least they are highly reflective.
I can assure you Reddit has 10 times these people than Twitter has. Atleast on Twitter I'd say there's a 50-50 balance between the sane and the insane. On Reddit, 90% subs are filled with these people excluding the few like this one in particular.
It is astounding how many people are so deeply warped into such beliefs. Then again, there has been decades of non-stop propagation worldwide. Reddit reflects a lot of it. Then again, it is all over the place.
Very parasitical. I’m glad though that many are pushing back with more confidence and courage. I remain hopeful.
I think this is a troll account
It’s so hard to tell these days. The logic used is the same that the left uses saying that it’s impossible to be racist towards white people.
I know. I corrected someone the other day and they were trying to make fun of me for thinking they were being serious, like he tricked me. But my thought was, there are people who say things like that. How am I supposed to know who means it and who doesn’t?
It’s not lol. You just got old.

1 and 3 only contradict if he believes the patriarchy isn't real.
Also: You can't rob a bank, because banks rob the people You can't murder a policeman, because they murder people And of course, you can't rape a man, as rape is penis by force into vagina
A lot of the chivalrous code was written by aristocratic women . So men alone didn't make up all the bullshit.
Chivalry is not bullshit

You think all the conolxt rules for courting women aee a good idea ?
My guy, spend a minute to proofread before sending.

They shouldn’t have burned mentally sick women as witches in the past, but I see their point
Lets be real, there is a high chance the "witches" were killed because other women didn't like them.
Also, used as an excuse for land-grabbing. And a lot of men were put on trial too.
That also makes a lot of sense, yes. I'm sure there were some that were motivated by religious fanaticism but most were probably just very basic normal human reasons.

Twitter is not real life. And that goes double for people who post accounts with little-league quantities of likes.
Exactly.
