Than you should know that if your daughter gets raped she will think about what you said about the thing she was doing at the time of her rape and she will feel guilty.
By questioning a victims choices you are legitamizing their rape, a message heard loud and clear by the perpetrater as well. No amount of “off course it is never okay” is going to change what message you are sending.
Could you please make a list for us dumb women so we can know what we can do without getting raped? We clearly need some help building our own prisons here.
Did it ever cross your mind that in order to live a free life we HAVE TO live with the risks that come with it?
If i look at the statistics the whole world is a fucking no go zone for us.
Maybe don’t call them assholes for that.
I am not from tge US but it’s so frustrating, we really shouldn’t support this infighting. Anyone still supporting Israel IS disgusting, people are rightfully pissed of about this.
I still believe that there is no way forward other than voting Dem but the infighting and namecalling and belitteling of each other is infuriating.
This really just feels like another devide method of the ruling class.
If you want to beat the Rep you need more solidarity in the left wing and this starts by communicating like adults.
The sexualization is not a problem on its own the objectification that often comes along with it is as well as the “unspoken” rule that only allows conventionally attractive people to be viewed in a sexual context.
People don’t lose their personhood by being, acting or shown in a sexual context but many do absolutely not view it that way.
The problem i see is that since this mostly happens in visual media without context all meaning it could have is more often than not lost. If sexual content was created with a positive attitude we would see much more diversity. It is very obvious that it caters to people objectifying the protagonists and therefore its not that easy to blatantly approve of it.
This should off course not translate to shaming people in general but it should trigger nuanced debate and action.
Most stay conservative though, not really a hopeful oitlook.
No she didn’t.
There is no way to be this uninformed.
This is just really highly subjective. The US is a huge outlier since your social safety net sucks ass. Your life literally depends of your employer giving you health insurance but the rest of the world is also not that much better.
With the end of the udssr capitalism lost all motivation to proof that it can give workers a better life than communism so it started to become what it was destined to.
A 9-5 regardless of sector was guaranteed to give you a life worth living, your own house, sending your kids to college, a good pension, enough food and some luxeries. Helping the company succeed directly benefitted the worker and the worker could also often be PROUD of what they made collectivly. (obviously not true for all of human history, and we can obviously discuss the ethics of any production across time but true enough for this discussion and the time 9-5 started to be a thing)
Now all the money is going to the top, while you can still have a decent life in some sectors it is much harder. The dream of owning your home is out of reach for many, it feels like just surviving and not living. There is zero loyalty towards workers.
So a 9-5 today means giving away your lifetime to a heartless coporation doing shit that benefits no one and still die off a preventable diseas in your 2000 dollar roach infested apartment OR you can do odd jobs with less “security” and at least live your life before you meet the same end.
There are a lot of jobs you can do though that pay good enough money and are still flexible where you don’t feed the orphan crushing machine too much and are almost always in demand. You can work and travel, work in the event sector, hospitality or do something in the art sector. I know people managing weed farms getting high every day, traveling yoga teachers, artists who do odd jobs on the side or people who build their own small businesses where they don’t have to work that much anymore and so on and so forth. But it shouldn’t be on us to find meaningful work, the economy should work for us not the other way around.
The comments here are WAY WAY off.
Against popular belief shooters are neither bullied nor are they from broken homes.
Most of them have a antisocial personality disorder come from middleclass homes that are not very involved and they are male without friends. If you are interested in the stats of it all please read up on it, it is interresting but they don’t really explain why there are more shooters in the us than elsewhere, we all have narcissists and uninvolved parents.
I think it is very likely that the culture plays a bigger role than the access to guns. The US shitty gun laws are a symptom of a shitty culture towards violence as a whole. You have this glorification of the individualistic male violent archetype with guns, may it be the military, media or real life people and people with certain mental disorders will latch unto that and internalize this as powerful. (videogames STILL don’t cause real life violence i am talking about the lived culture not media as the scapegoat)
My guess is they feel towards their victims like normal people feel towards inanimate objects who fail them. We don’t function like they want us to or better they didn’t get what they feel like they DESERVE from us and since they are the individualistic, strong main character, we deserve whats coming.
I strongly believe its a mix of specific mental disorders and toxic cultures with a bad understanding of mental health.
Honestly me too. And YES i am biased as hell here. I don’t like people in general and my objective opinion is that power will attract the wrong people regardless of gender.
BUUUT my subjective experience will not let me believe that women in charge would not change things for the better overall. From a purely curious place i would really like to see how it would work out, a failure would be just as interresting to me as a success.
I want to add that i also believe the main problem of patriachy is not the oppression of women but the oppression of “female” coded traits. What i would really like to see is a society that favors empathy and collaboration, i don’t need women in charge for that and i certainly don’t base my support for anyone on their genitals, that would be crazy.
You mean the propaganda against feminism, worked on you?
Oh i am not saying that there isn’t positive implications for small scale experiments i am saying that this isn’t waterproof evidence that we would see the same effect when done countrywide because the parameters change massivly.
When you say “Solution” your endgoal would have to be that the ad creep ends and this isn’t done through personal consumption fir various reasons.
I start by telling you i am already participating in ethical consumption for decades you know what changed? Nothing.
I could go on and on but the main problem is that you would need a critical amount of people doing the same as you and they will not people will take the easiest way and you can be mad about it but you shouldn’t blame them. The crux of the issue is how the economy works. We need regulation that forces companies to act responsible anything else is doomed to fail. I am not saying don’t consume ethical where you can but if you want to really have an impact you need to focus on politics.
I am very sorry to tell you but no, people will not stop contributing once they know.
Personal responsibility is a brainwashing tactic from big corp to blame yourself and your neighbour for systematic Problems they created. Don’t fall for it.
They don’t think they have anything to hide because they think of it as “evil activity”
Reframe it, like sure you are not doing anything bad but these companies don’t care about criminal or evil behaviour. For them you are like livestock you only serve one purpose: making them money, there are no morals involved. They would sell your data to absolutely anyone for any reason! YOU can’t think of anything bad they could do with your data because YOU are not evil but THEY absolutely are. If an evil person wants your data you shouldn’t give it to them because they WILL find a way to use it against us, its a law of nature just like gravity.
There is no evidence. What we know is that generally, throwing money at poor people will have positive effects, thats it.
We have no idea how prices will react, we have no idea how culture around work might change when people grow up with such a system, we have no idea how employment will change and we have no idea what people will actually use their freedom for.
I am personally in favor of some kind of UBI but not because i believe without a doubt in its positive effects but i believe that the world belongs to all of us and simply being born entitles you to parts of the “fruits of the land” and if UBI really doesn’t work out i guess we might just deserve our fate.
It really isn’t in my experience. They wouln’t be rightwingers if they truly cared for people.
