so now women legally cannot even mention having been victims of domestic violence or sexual assault without it being defamation. I hope y’all demons fucking die in the most painful way imaginable.

Privatization of public goods is never about helping the citizens in any way, in any industry. It is exclusively about enriching a select few.

Republicans see this failure are a reason for more failed privatization.

Charter schools underperfom. TL:DR

The pass rate went up after the schools went private and only dropped after COVID. The economic and demographic information of Jefferson county might hold some clues too.

also jefferson county schools have been public again since February

I feel like in regards to reproductive rights and sex leftist males view women as a bourgeoisie class keeping them from our bodies rather than a class that's exploited bc men want control over us and to claim the children we spent 9 months and leeched calcium from our bones to make. it's like we're simultaneously the piece of equipment and the laborers. no wonder we're so alienated from ourselves when we can't truly claim ownership and oneness w our body bc it's always for someone else. in that sense we're not even uterus or vagina owners. our uteruses and vaginas should belong to whoever wants to use them apparently.

Call that wanting to seize the means of production.

Gloating? Really? Disgusting.

Interesting reply from the OP here. This did happen and got shut down

REALLY interesting how things that are widely recognized as harmful are automatically made ok when sex enters the equation

I’d like to welcome back “my body, my choice” after a nearly three year absence.

“The jettisoning of the chemical imbalance theory should have been uncontroversial twenty-five years ago, when it became clear to research scientists that it was a disproved hypothesis. In Blaming the Brain (1998), Elliot Valenstein, professor emeritus of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Michigan, detailed research showing that it is just as likely for people with normal serotonin levels to feel depressed as it is for people with abnormal serotonin levels, and that it is just as likely for people with abnormally high serotonin levels to feel depressed as it is for people with abnormally low serotonin levels. Valenstein concluded, ‘Furthermore, there is no convincing evidence that depressed people have a serotonin or norepinephrine deficiency.’ But how many Americans heard about this?

Somewhat analogously, a 2015 survey reported that 42 percent of all Americans—and 51 percent of Republicans—continue to believe that WMDs were found in Iraq. Once attached to a belief, it is difficult for many people to let go of it. Carl Sagan, a fierce advocate of skeptical inquiry, observed, ‘One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken.’

If you took SSRI antidepressants believing that these drugs helped correct a chemical imbalance, how does it feel to learn that this theory has long been disproven? Will this affect your trust of current and future claims by psychiatry? Were you prescribed an antidepressant not from a psychiatrist but from your primary care physician, and will this make you anxious about trusting all healthcare authorities?

Trust is important in all of healthcare, but it is absolutely vital in helping someone with depression. In my three decades plus as a practicing clinical psychologist, my experience is that depression is a reaction to loss and other pains, and a loss of trust is one of those pains. Thus, discovering that one has misplaced trust in a doctor can make one’s depression worse.”

Wait until you hear about the covid vaccine.

the concept that privilege on one axis can “cancel out” oppression on another axis is such a prevailing idea among this generation. it’s led to so much damage within social justice movements, and i think it directly contributed to the rise of identity politics, “oppression olympics,” and the obsession with listing every detail about your mental illnesses, race, and disabilities online. it’s a constant battle to prove that you’re oppressed, that you have the least amount of net privilege. it’s not factual, and it has no bearing in the real world. oppression and privilege on different axes can’t be added and subtracted from each other. they are different variables.

Unpopular Fact: But this damage was all done by white people.

And yes I am blaming you all for this. I remember the the whole 2012 Era of internet culture & tumblr cultures where white people were complaining about "white guilt" & how they felt bad for oppressing minorities. They were left out of these discussions. Hated the fact it was no longer about them.

In discussions about how we could have more equity for actual marginalized groups white people felt left out.

So white people are going to white people. If this isn't about me, I am going to make it about me.

You can not identify as being Black, Disabled, Immigrant or Muslim. Hell not even LGB. And there was a time where u couldn't identify as being trans either...until they took away gender dysphoria as a prerequisite.

But under Queer theory & new Trans community (gender dysphoria is no longer a pre-requisite) with the influx/creation of the 250 micro gender identities here comes the white people larping as oppressed minorities bc they have ugly,fried, dyed & laid to the side hair with ugly bangs.

Now oppression & activism is marketable because it's exploitable. All companies, universities want to seem "woke" & "inclusive".

While giving actual marginalized people aka Black people cheap & lazy scraps they call progress. Like replacing the cover of Uncle Ben Rice & Aunt Jemima Pancakes bc of RaCiSm after profiting off those bigoted stereotypes for decades.

That's why we have literal middle class white kids/adults on tumblr.com & tiktok & real world calling themselves "oppressed" for being asexual/having no sexual desire, kink, gender-fluid, demisexual, pansexual, & asexual

Because these dumbasses are totally being denied jobs, Healthcare, marriage for not wanting to fuck.

Or another example of a white girl on tiktok saying "I am not white. I am non-binary so I am not privileged" dumbass.

In the end black people especially black women and lesbians & gays are left outside in the rain holding the bag.

But I also blame woke black folks for being so quick to sell there integrity (Kimberly Crenshaw and other black activists) for a quick buck just to be bastardized by crackers.

Now we have a whole bunch of white "queers" & "non-binaries" benefitting from the systems their ancestors created & they help perpetuate, of power & racism but get none of the backlash or need not do any of the fucking work to undo these systems of oppression bc they identify as...

"Not cis".

As long as they have 101 different qualifiers that is "not cis" they too are oppressed & u can't lecture them lest u be a horrible bigot.

Very this. White people completely eroded, exploited and appropriated the language and narratives of oppressed peoples because they felt themselves losing social currency in activist, social spaces and society at large. The second marginalized people started having a strong voice or resources being directed their way all of sudden not being able to go to the women’s bathroom as a non binary trans feminine is the New Jim Crow.

People of color, women, lesbians & gays spent literal centuries building and refining their social movements and articulating their experiences. At great personal cost and many lives lost in the process.

Now every term and concept they invented to describe their reality has been stolen and repurposed for some phony, flimsy ideology.

Sexism = cissexism

Homophobia= acephobia

Black Lives Matter = Trans Lives Matter

Notice how absolutely nothing they have to say is new, fresh, original or from a unique perspective. Every term is a throwback, every concept is derivative and borrowed from some other, more established movement. Usually with the intention to borrow legitimacy, weight and the rich, textured history of that movement. It’s really fucking sick when you think about it.

The y chromosoids that hate follow me love to jump all over my openly man-hating comedic posts, but in all my time here no man has even attempted to take on the posts that contain serious, critical analysis.

Like I joke about men having wrinkly, saggy balls and they come crawling out of the woodwork to prove me wrong or whatever but I post the FBI crime statistics and it’s like….crickets. Almost like men can only defend themselves from subjective criticisms and not objective facts because the truth is indisputable and they know it. Hmm.

They can’t use anything higher than tier 2

therapy does not make men less horrible it just helps them mask their abusive tendencies btw if a man doesnt improve his behavior after being told off once u literally need to put him in a cage and make him eat out of a dog bowl

This is such a horrible way to think of other human beings. Unhealthy habits take time and repeated effort to break. You don't have to put up with anyone's continued shit behavior while they're in that process (or at all) but neither do you have to dehumanize them as they struggle through the process of the change you have requested of them

how do men struggle? name 5 daily struggles of men

Try seeing men as human beings and you can figure out dozens yourself :/

so u can't name any :) wonder why

It would be utterly worthless to play into your view of men as creatures that are meaningfully different from women by outlining "men's challenges", so why would I do it? Men's challenges are human challenges. I answered your question.

Draft, 75% of suicides, 90% of high death risk jobs, almost complete absence of father rights, little to none abuse shelters that accept men, inability to be legally considered raped in most of the world, most abuse centers only consult men who think they might be abusive, not abused, soulless people like op who can't conceive that someone might struggle in a way they didn't experience.

There's no patriarchy, men and women are disadvantaged by society in different ways and all this pointless division and "us vs them" is just distractions from tackling real problems.

Also, you're 19. Come back when you actually get some irl experience.

you say there is no patriarchy yet you literally think putting on a dress makes you a woman please. also ofc the oppressor class would deny that the patriarchy exists. the proof that it is real is in the fact that you think you’re a woman in the first place.

I love how you have nothing but ad-hominems and circular logic.

Please come back with more original arguments, preferably ones you came up with yourself after doing some self-reflection instead of blindly parroting what your online friends say.

@22v6 I find it funny that when this stuff is applied to women it’s oppression, but when it happens to men it’s “the patriarchy back firing”.

@idorukami

I’ll list some things

1: Mens mental health isn’t taken as seriously as women. In fact Mental Health Awerness  strategies are not targeted towards men. Also men ask for help differently than women, as well as express their mental health differently than women which leads to mid-diagnosis or under-diagnosis.

2: Most laws revolving around rape are intended to make mostly men as the predator. For example one law is “any non consensual penetration, including orally, vaginally, or  anally. Meaning that women who rape men by forcing them to penetrate isn’t considered rape at all!

3: There are no hotlines set up for men who have been abused. No shelters. No help groups. Nothing. Even if men are a small percentage of abuse victims, which I believe did mens abuse was taken more seriously could be more, they are still victims of abuse and deserve to listened to just as much as women.

That’s just three examples.

I wish I could find it now but there was a female to male transgender guy who said that he wished that he had the same privilages as women because now that he’s transitioned, now that he looks like a man, everyone even other men avoid him and treat him like a threat even when he hasn’t done anything to anyone.

Men and women both have privileges and disadvantages in society. And in order to reach a society where both are treated equal than EVERYONE needs to put aside the biases and bigotry.

"Not all Radfems hate Men"

Radfems will perpetuate at least 70% of what's listed above and blame it on their invisible boogie man "patriarchy".

@kayrowsyrup

1. I’m not sure how men not going to therapy or men being unwilling to talk about their feelings is societal oppression. Men dissuading other men from helpful behaviors is not sex-based oppression. Wall-punching and other antisocial behavior is not asking for help. Google is free, men-focused mental health awareness programs are everywhere. While you’re at it, look up the gendered diagnostic rates for autism and adhd.

2. In the US, it depends on the state but there is a trend of the states are moving toward sex-neutral sexual assault laws. Canada has no such laws and defines rape as “sexual assault,” where forced sexual activity of any kind counts. Somehow, men are statistically far more likely to be the perpetrators of rape and women are more likely to be the victims. Regardless, most male sexual assault victims report a male perpetrator, so again, man-on-man violence is not sex-based oppression.

First results on Google. Did you even try, or were you too busy jacking it to the idea of pwning the feminazis?

Bro you couldn’t even list three valid claims, let alone five. Did you know that DV shelters often put men in HOTELS at the shelter’s expense because their clients are overwhelmingly women and children escaping abuse from men? Did you know that the field of mental health was built by men and most of the knowledge base for mental health practices are based on men? Do you know anything at all? Man up, accept that women as a class have it tougher than men as a class, realize it’s not about you personally, and do something to better life for both sexes if that’s what you actually care about. K?

you guys aren’t real people btw. you are your icon. ‘that’s not what i look like’ yes it is .

Imagine Christian Bale Bond having CBT done to him by Mads in Casino Royale—it would’ve been the monogatari tooth brush scene for weird women

“Why doesn’t God stop all suffering and evil”

This is called a logical contradiction. Man wants freewill from God, yet when another man uses his free will to its extreme men blame God. You cannot have another being control you and then turn around and claim you want free will. Evil doers who don’t repent will face eternal judgement if they get away with their crimes in this world.

99.9% of the suffering in life is because of our own foolishness or man v man. The tiny fraction of suffering is from things like illness or accidents that we may not have control over. Ie. Heart attack/stroke/disease etc.

Ok but who tf came out the pussy wanting free will? I don’t remember signing for that, let alone being shown the terms and conditions. Who is this “man” who said free will was worth a literal eternity in hellfire? Not this man!
