Maxwell Waters replied to Russ Christie's discussion "It is only sexist when men do it.""The problem with this is a problem of definitions, not of the actual concepts behind it. Let me start off by presenting the typical social justice thinker's view:
Opression = The cultural values, beliefs, and attitudes displayed by one group…"
Mlamlah replied to Russ Christie's discussion "It is only sexist when men do it.""I think that this is a really important discussion to have, but also that most of the people in our society that have the discussion are fixating on all the wrong things. I will attempt to explain what i view as some of the most vocal views on the…"
Tom Steinbrecher replied to Russ Christie's discussion "It is only sexist when men do it.""Both men and woman are guilty of being sexist.
One of my main issues with femminism is that it is fairly sexist and against men, along with the facts that it actually isn't that helpful for women and is generally…"
Jess sullivan replied to Russ Christie's discussion "It is only sexist when men do it.""Ok so as a girl I believe that everyone should be treated exactly the same I mean it's nice when a man opens the door for me but I don't wait for one to do it for means if there is a man behind me I will hold the door for him and if I were…"
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Russ Christie's discussion "It is only sexist when men do it.""Numbers say that women are not excelling in business, etc.
No, the numbers don't say that. Women aren't yet on an equal parity with men in terms of business success, but it is…"
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Russ Christie's discussion "It is only sexist when men do it.""I think you misunderstood what I said. And I will say it again. I acknowledge that I do have some privileges, but I don't accept they are universal, in the way you do. You don't seem to accept that men have any problems and any negative…"
Alyssa Rae replied to Russ Christie's discussion "It is only sexist when men do it.""Numbers say that women are not excelling in business, etc. What that tells me, is that there must be a reason. And I am taking the blame off of men, and putting it on society as a whole. But you are not scoring any points by…"
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Russ Christie's discussion "It is only sexist when men do it.""Can you please, just for a moment, acknowledge your privilege? Because unless you are secretly a woman-- a lot of the subjects you are covering here, are not really up to you to decide. It is not up to you to decide when, or if, women…"
Alyssa Rae replied to Russ Christie's discussion "It is only sexist when men do it.""Can I just take a moment to ask a question?
Can you please, just for a moment, acknowledge your privilege? Because unless you are secretly a woman-- a lot of the subjects you are covering here, are not really up to you to decide. It is…"
Jackson Gandour replied to Russ Christie's discussion "It is only sexist when men do it.""The real oppressions lies in our society's binary and restrictive gender system."
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Russ Christie's discussion "It is only sexist when men do it.""No. Just because it happens to affect one gender more than the other does not make it a gender issue. It's a governmental policy issue, caused by the lack of funds for mentally handicapped outreach programs and lack of programs for veterans and…"
Raef replied to Russ Christie's discussion "It is only sexist when men do it.""NO. Goddamnit no. The suffering of others - even if it is greater - in no way invalidates your own. Bringing up the situation in the developing world and comparing it to the developed world's women is extremely counterproductive, and achieves…"
peahat replied to Russ Christie's discussion "It is only sexist when men do it."""Feminists care. While mainstream feminism may be looking at other issues, feminists care. The mainstream movement does work towards helping men too. It's just that no movement can cover every injustice all the time. That's why there…"
peahat replied to Russ Christie's discussion "It is only sexist when men do it.""I think your responses are pretty boss >:U"
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Russ Christie's discussion "It is only sexist when men do it.""You honestly think it matters whether it's permissible by law? It still happens, regardless of what the law says - which is what feminists are trying to end.
And how are they doing it? Right now, it's looking kind of…"
