Men are the new "women"

Post Reply New Topic

thank the stars that got taken care of in the end. sorry this had to happen to you....what a piece of work!

sociopaths/psychopaths and narcissists are unfortunately more abundant in the world than might be readily obvious, and i think the internet magnifies this effect. good idea to limit yourself to your town, it seems like sickos are drawn to message boards and discussion sites such as this. distance may not matter to them.

i've met a few absolutely wonderful people on here that i really enjoy talking to...but outside of them i don't think i'll lose anything (in terms of social interaction/companionship) if my web connection were to be cut off suddenly. have been trying to lessen my dependence on such pixelated figures...

i recall the "gender wars" being especially nasty in 2014, central figures of that era having been given the boot, or disappeared of their own volition.

Might they largely be a strawperson that anti-feminists use to excuse their misogynistic whining?

*sigh*

I have real people that I've known for years on my Facebook right now who view the world through the prism of intersectional feminism and regularly lecture me about how it's impossible to be racist against white people, what forms of entertainment are "problematic" or "rapey", the latest horrific act of cultural appropriation and/or microaggression, I truly wish it were a fake phenomenon. You don't do yourself any favors pretending as if these people don't exist or aren't a loud and influential presence, you just make it look like you aren't paying attention or are ideologically blinkered.

These people you speak of, while you may find them annoying, I do not believe they characterize the strawperson that I believe funeralxempire was referring to.

I remember dongle-gate from a few years ago. A couple of guys were making crude jokes and a woman sitting in front of them snapped their picture and posted their misdeed on her twitter feed. One of the guys got fired because of it. She said they were making the place the place hostile for women by making those jokes. I actually looked at her twitter feed and found a sex-joke posted by a friend which she didn't seem to mind.

I don't know if its the AS talking, but I don't think anyone should get fired for telling the wrong joke.

Many employers have conduct policies that they require their employees to adhere to, because of a person can be associated with their place of employment, then their behavior could, in some instances, reflect poorly on the company or institution.

That guy literally only added me for an argument to fuel his fire about how all women are bad towards aspie men, not even a hello/how are you or anything, just a barrage of silly questions about aspie men lol. He had a very skewed sense of reality so I'm not surprised in the least. Having a big social media following as a female you get used to it though, and the many, many, many unwanted penis pictures.
I hope the universe is kind to me when I start twitch streaming, lol!

B19 sorted that one a while ago though, she's awesome. I want to buy her a gift for sorting a bunch of other rubbish out for me haha.



Yeah I absolutely agree, I mean the internet in general has a lot of undesirables. But I always saw it like this - all of the accounts are YOUR accounts, so you don't have to put up with nasty people if you don't want to and blocking is there if you need it. Your Facebook for example isn't a free speak zone, you're the one who gets to decide what comments people leave on your stuff and if you don't like it you can just remove them. Obviously, with forums you can't really get around it very well but that's where mods come in to keep the peace. I just hope the people who dislike me on this forum leave me alone because I find their attention seeking / passive aggressive insults in other threads rather cringeworthy and childish..



Yeah I'm the same, minus the people on here part. If the Internet would to suddenly end globally I'd of enjoyed it but it's not going to affect my life in such a devastating way, it'll just be a minor inconvenience if anything.
I wish the site was more active as it was because one of my friends ended up meeting their best friend off this site years ago, probably 2009 or so. I've found a different way to meet autistic people though but it's always fun if you bump into one that's not too far away who's into similar stuff to meet up with. I think restricting it instead to people from my town + people who I actually really get along with on here anyway is probably best, that way no randoms to cause me minor headaches.



I doubt I was here for that, 2014 was a busy year for me for setting my business up, mind, I'm still busy trying to come up with my own designs for things. I don't understand that behaviour anyway, it's childish and very cringe. Sorta sounds like people make up irrational reasons to hate x gender to give their ego a boost because of underlying mental problems. *shrug*

I feel this thread has been somewhat hijacked from the OP, so I would like to redirect attention back to him (or her if that is the desired pronoun) and ask what has provoked the OP to make this post? Surely something unpleasant for the OP has transpired.

It's an academic thing, outside the college campuses and the internet it might not be too evident but I think most people have become aware of the ridiculousness of 'safe spaces' and 'microagressions' and all that. Intersectional feminism is basically the basis of SJW ideology which they by all means intend to force on everybody, they're the ones who attack popular culture over the stupidest things. No longer does the patriarchy just oppress women, it's responsible for all the bad on the planet no matter what and have narrowed it to just being a hate group against straight white men. I don't think Marxist professors should be allowed to work, no one would tolerate a Nazi teaching their kids so how are literal Marxists okay?

I honestly don't hear anything else about feminism nowadays besides from self identified ones who want to say that these other people don't represent them or feminism and that these people who make them look bad essentially don't exist. Maybe feminism doesn't actually represent you? Maybe you're not being honest with your views? It's not a bunch of old lesbians from 60/70s, this is the current generation. Like I said, think Tumblr and the 37 genders.

I thought tumblr made it to 60 genders?

I hate to break it to you but microaggressions are an actual issue, especially with racism. A microaggression is making a comment about a black person's natural hair being unprofessional or a comment about how smart they are for a black person. And yes they are what keeps larger oppressive structures afloat. Most racism isn't as in your face as lynching anymore, but the small things are what make it so people are negatively impacted.

Marxism and Nazism aren't even nearly the same things, and I admit I'm concerned for your mental faculties that you think they are lol.

A few years ago, there was an advertisement about a black man getting rid of the afro. The caption said something like "get civilised". I can totally see how that's offensive. Whilst equality has undeniably made progress, there's still a long way to go.

That doesn't sound serious. If someone's hair is unprofessional in a workplace then they should abide by the rules everyone else follows. If someone says you are smart take it as a compliment, it could just be poor wording. How does hearing those small things negatively affect life? Feelings don't count. Racism used to be lynchings, being owned, lacking voting rights. Now it is a comment about hair.

I disagree, fin the point was that they are black then I would agree, but an Afro from my understanding isn't associated with class. What was the advertisement for?

Of course Marxists have killed far more people than Nazis have, silly comparison right?

Microaggressions aren't actual issue because you say they are, I think of things like a bunch useful idiots brainwashed by some professor getting upset because the college caferteria has 'Taco Tuesdays'. The whole concept is basically is that everything must conform to your ideology or they're the most terrible racist sexist misogynist xenophobe that should be fired and ostracized from society.

Where do you live, what is your actual experience with racism besides what you read out of books? This is part of why I resent these people so much because it's usually the most ignorant lily white people that promote this nonsense.

It was for hair and style in general.
