Sexism/Feminism/Womanism Discussion Thread Social • Page 72

pretty good sketch.

 

People in the comments are so eager to bring up the percentage of reported rapes that turn out to be false, while completely ignoring the percentage of actual cases of sexual assault that goes unreported. But okay, yeah, go ahead and focus on how women are always ruining men's lives with false accusations. It's not like getting raped ruins your life--oh wait.

 

Women shouldn't have to wear high heels at work, says Christy Clark

Oh heckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk naw if someone told me how to wear my makeup. Part of me never wants to leave my job cause they dgaf how bright and bold and ridic my makeup is

 

I think I've mentioned this before here but I'm glad revenge porn is being taken seriously

 

I didn't read the article but damn it rubs me the wrong way so much that the title just refers to her as "war machines ex" like??? she has a name?? and she's famous in her own right????

interesting stuff being discussed here RE: Crispin's book.

is there any scenario where victim blaming doesn't happen?
Marines United Spokesman: Nude Photo Scandal Shows Why Women Shouldn’t Serve

 

I just discovered this cool site, it has a ton of films about women's issues all made by women directors from various backgrounds that you can stream for free

 

I have lots of thoughts on this and equal difficulty putting them into words, but this is 110% true (though coding bootcamps aren't adequate job preparation regardless of participants' genders). It's usually less pointed than anyone saying "front-end coding is women's work" outright, but I see "front-end coding isn't as hard as back-end" and the like thrown around on a regular basis, and that makes me want to pull my hair out. I put a lot of effort in my last position not to get forced into a FE-only role, since it's pretty much standard that you'll get paid a lot less as a "front-end web developer" than as a "software engineer".

 

it's the same moving of goalposts we see for women in gaming, politics, workplaces, ugh

 

i don't think i'll ever be able to back end code, forget it. :/

 

Jon 'War Machine' Koppenhaver Guilty of 29 Charges, Mistrial on Attempted Murder

 

Why's that? I feel the same about most dev ops/system admin sort of stuff, haha.

 

Good to see that ruling by jury on the War Machine case. That has to be considered a small victory for women in domestic cases that are afraid to bring their case forward right away.

 

anyone here read Jess Crispen's "Why I Am Not a Feminist"?
