Sexism/Feminism/Womanism Discussion Thread Social • Page 82

But yeah I probably shouldn't have reacted so quickly.

 

Why can I not care about both? I brought up what I said because there have to be other alternatives instead of excluding people from a festival. Which was including in the last sentence of my post. How is that going to make the men who are committing the harassments change their ways? I don't see that being very effective.

 

I think there's a lot of knee jerk reactions like today I tweeted something about men being trash bc I was in a situation that really burned my biscuits and went off.

I see what Lightning is saying and I agree. I also think tho that things like this stem from being beaten down for so long and especially women not being able to enjoy concerts, festivals what have you bc men do act like animals for some reason in that setting.

I feel that it's a small percentage in the grand scheme of things but like I personally don't go to shows and things anymore bc of harassment and not wanting to deal with it.

This is my perspective and no matter what I'm always learning and will always be learning about feminism especially intersectional.

I think men can get over a festival being just for women but yeah, what is that teaching to progress with the issues?

 

Oh. I mean, there's a reason two people jumped at you so quickly. That didn't come across in your post at all.

 

I appreciate the sentiment, but I don't quite understand how it's going to work. I could be missing something. It'd make more sense to me if the main purpose was to provide women a safe place to see some shows, but instead it seems like a "ha ha you dickhead men aren't invited." Which if thats what it is that's fine, I just feel like the founders would be doing themselves and their target market a huge disservice by taking the later route. Sorry for rambling lol.

 

Amazing how mentioning facts can turn you into a feminist ally. Goes to show how low the bar is for men.

 

" Women are people"
Give this man a medal

 

Recognizing women existing is all a dude has to do really

 

Serena in particular gets shit on a lot bc she's a strong female and role model for girls I guess is why. So I like when anyone stands up for her bc she doesn't get the love she deserves. I mean damn she was 5 months preggo out there kicking ass too!

 

He actually did the same thing in an interview last year Andy Murray slaps down John Inverdale's claim he was first with two tennis golds

 

It's also racist, like so many people commenting on her looks in a gross way

 

Yeah, definitely. Just like Michelle Obama. People can't stand to see strong poc women but especially black women. They're both beautiful too so I didn't get it at first and then I put it together.

 

it's nice to see Andy Murray realize an issue and try his best to do the right thing when he can, even if it seems small and insignifcant

 

I'm not sure if it was Serena or Venus, but one of them walked by a tennis court in the middle of the night to play with some people. That's awesome.

 

It was Serena

 

Classic laci

YouTube sex vlogger Laci Green bullies trans activist with misinformation

 

How are you on chorus but not your phone

 

They used to (maybe still do) do a comedy thing on Youtube. It was Nick, Kyle, and the other dude on SNL Ben or Dave maybe? Anyways, I could tell Nick was a douchebag just by watching that and stopped watching. The whole let's make sexism a joke in comedy is tiresome to say the least. Really disappointing that they went along with it.

 

His name's Beck
and yeah it is

 

Is this real? I put it into a fact checker and couldn't find it.

 

Here for context: Patton Oswalt won Twitter over the weekend with a series of hilarious, slightly offensive tweets
