Do you realise how pathetic you sound? Women are told to shut their mouth and keep their opinions to themselves all the fucking time. It’s time for men like you to realise that sometimes yeah you should shut up and yeah your opinion is less important than the lived experience of women when it comes down to sexism and SA. Educate yourself please before you embarrass yourself even more.
Invisible women is a great book to start. Very easy to read and full of interesting statistics.
91% of SA victims are women, 99% of perpetrators are men;
women in the EU work 70 hours per week on average vs men who work 63 hour per week (this includes paid and unpaid work, women do about 3 times as much unpaid work as men)
number of women in the US who face workplace discrimination is 3 times higher than men
women politicians in the US face 3.4 times as much threats and harassment than men
car seats are only tested on male dummies resulting in women being 73% more likely to get seriously injured by a car crash
most medicines are only tested on male animals and or humans, resulting in lower efficacy among women and causing medicines that would be beneficial to women to go undiscovered
Once again I recommend reading the book invisible women for more interesting statistics, and an analysis on gender specific data. It turns out that gender specific data is very hard to come by, making a lot of potential other gender gaps undiscovered. Women are much more likely than men to be victims of gender specific data gaps because women were not allowed to work for a long time and women still make up only a small fraction of executives making many women specific problems to stay undiscovered.
Calling transphobia in such a disingenuous way is pretty gross. There is nothing wrong with your comment, as trans man I stand fully behind it. Bigots try to divide feminists and trans people often in similar ways but we won’t let them ❤️
The number of examples I have seen of people being told to shut up about their lived experiences with sexual abuse in the past 24 hours on this platform is deeply disturbing....
Your comment is kind of funny because it’s definitely problematic in several ways. So I’m not surprised at all that you have heard from others before that you’re part of the problem. When enough people tell you that, then maybe you should do some selfcrit instead of continuing to victimblame women for experiencing sexism 🤷
Any man who turns hostile to women because of a bear meme was hopeless to begin with. Feminism isn’t convincing sexist men to not be sexist, it’s educating and empowering women to stand up for themselves and stop accepting vile behaviour by vile men.
It’s naive to think that voters have more influence on policies than donors/lobbyists. If democrats win every election then capitalists will just donate more to make sure their needs are met. All politicians are corrupted by huge sums of money.
Again not relevant at all to what I said. My comment wasn’t about election results but about policies. It doesn’t matter who wins an election because capitalists will always make sure to donate to the winner in order to decide their policies.
Yeah the inability of the people around me to join the protests is so frustrating to me. They acknowledge that something is going terribly wrong in Palestine but they don’t dare being part of protests that are being wrongly framed as antisemitic or violent. At the same time they romanticise previous student protests.
There are literally 0 cases of actual antisemitism during student protests in my country. Jews are very welcome and form a large share of the protesters at the encampments. But to most news outlets chanting “from the river to the sea” is antisemitic.
Hexbear literally has the largest trans community on lemmy. Russia’s homophobia is also heavily criticised on hexbear. Promoting homophobia or transphobia will always be banned there.
Sorry I wasn’t aware that the fun police would be here to gatekeep the comments lmao. I’m just making conversation, sharing my experiences. It’s not that serious.
I know it’s a joke, it just reminded me of the people I knew who would do such things irl and I cringed because of how bad partners they were.
I’m not labelling anyone? You’re the one who seems to make pretty harsh conclusions based on very little information. I’m just sharing my experiences. Read our conversation back and you’ll find a stark difference in tone between my comments and yours.
That means that everyone has access to those means. Many liberals and most conservatives do not support providing free housing, healthcare and groceries to people who don’t work. That’s why it’s a leftist take.
Ah okay. I thought you were saying that those takes aren’t political because everyone wants it. (Which is obviously not true).
As far as I understand in Marxism freedom is understood as having all the means necessary to make decisions over your own live, like education, housing and healthcare. So ‘freedom to’ would be used in the context of having freedom to choose your own path.
Freedom to have a house is in that sense sounds to me like an example of the capitalist definition of freedom from restrictions, because the freedom to have a house means freedom from land ownership laws that currently prevent most people from owning the land they live on (or claiming land for their own that isn’t in use if they’re houseless)
The people who are responsible for these wars (capitalists who seek to create and exploit unstable countries for cheap labour and materials and profit off the weapons industry) are mostly vibing while millions die for their profits.
