Fighting for white privilege

I'm pro rights for everyone... you're the one that wants to attach a label to it to make it sound bad. Everyone has the right to fight against injustice.

Like I said, just because you got white people problems doesn't make them non issues.

*looks at thread title*

Not sure what youre getting at.

WHOS SIDE ARE YOU ON!? You have to pick.

You said "you're the one that wants to attach a label to it to make it sound bad" to elph when she's far from the only one adding labels to advocacy.

I mean arguing that you want equal rights for everyone is essentially agreeing with elph so I guess I'm on everyone's side.

Elph's a girl?

lmfao no he isn't. Freudian slip I suppose. I thought that I had parted with the theory that elph is Sansa but I'm clearly lying to myself.

if elph is sansa then sansa has an ugly ass man voice

A reminder to us all of the dangers of smoking.

No, he's arguing privileged people don't have a right to seek equality in areas where there isn't.. At least that's how i took it. Trying to make it sound bad if you say youre pro white or hetero rights.

.

He's interpreting the trend of the majority's demands for rights being demands for oppression as the rule.

What you both seem to be saying is that being a compartmentalized advocate does less for equality than being for equal rights for everyone.

Bad example tbh. I think that both should be addressed but I avoid lumping them together because one is so much more awful than the other that they lose their equivalency.

Don't flatter yourself.

Ah, he's just full of wind.

I knew you were crazy.

But now I can see your nuts.

No, exactly the opposite - I think the world as a whole needs to be better, and I believe that it can be. People who believe that men are underpriviledged as a general rule are usually trying to defocus efforts on people who actually are disadvantaged. There's a hierarchy of priviledge, and it shouldn't but does exist and it causes problems that range from finding a job to not being harrassed by police or just people in general.

None of that really has anything to do with Africa, though I believe that Africa is mistreated by the rest of the world, and our corporations contribute to suffering simply by not sharing their advantages with them (or us, lulz) and actually have historically stolen a lot from them.

In a nutshell, you could say I believe that debts will always pile up, and there's a time when they got to be paid. Men are owed less of that debt, and the debt they are owed isn't because they're men.

I read recently that 18% of American companies have a CCC- credit score. It's not only individuals (regardless of being male/female) it just the way the world is, from the top down, countries, companies, people. You should really watch "The Way We Live Now" TV mini-series based on the novel by Anthony Trollope it explains everything.

Actually, Oh Bondage, Up Yours! was just making fun of punk fashion.

if women need more representstion in STEM fields than its only fair we get more male nannies.

Yeah, and more female butlers too.

Nah, I'm serious.

If you believe that there is some degree of biologic difference which exists between men and women than what is the most appropriate way to determine if a particular statistic is a representation of that difference or the societal structure?

While it's becoming increasingly difficult because of globalism, it's typically done by comparing different cultures. An example is the Hofstede cultural dimensions studies that separate cultures by individualism & collectivism, uncertainty avoidance levels, power distance, and masculinity & femininity (task orientation versus person-orientation), which led to the conclusion that men and women only really have physiological differences. That said, I don't know how much research has been done to identify gender differences in the way that we respond to those societal pressures. It would be interesting if the traditional American understanding of gender roles was consistent across all masculine individualist cultures.

Reading on the science behind gender identities and the discoveries that have been found in the xx/xy chromosomes not always working the way we were taught they do, I've come to accept that I am totally wrong about my views on gender identity. My perception, as previously stated, has always been based on physical appendage but according to what has been recently discovered some people will be born with opposing genitalia than what the chromosomes intend. Science always evolves and disproves things we were always taught our whole lives and I guess it's hard to let go of that and admit you could be wrong. Also, interestingly, I read about a case where a person was born with a pussy that ended up developing into a dick as they got older. Like, they naturally switched genders. That's weird.

So how do they explain gender fluidity and other gender identities which fall outside the binary system?

Truth is, they don't. They obviously don't understand gender nearly a well as they thought they did. So they don't have an answer. But I'd also like to point to that story of somebody naturally switching genders. What would they be?

*sex

Yeah.

Oh ****, never knew that Goofle was a Silent Hill fan

lulzers

The right to oppress women, duh.

Bruh have you seen women talk about other women behind their back?

I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes Whang. Or penis.
