“reach for the sky!”

“there’s a snake in my boot!”

“this town aint big enough for the two of us”

Heeheehee! If only voting brought us further away from fascism

i wonder if that’s true.

let’s be real this is being nitpicky cuz even if you’re right most of us cats were babies or eggs in reagans time. I’m old as fuck and i didn’t even get to vote till bill Clinton

heeheehee! if only the world was as simple as the mind that made this meme

or, yaknow… just fuggen leave that shitshow and be free right here

if reddit bots could read this they’d be very upset

I’m trying to tell you that privilege affects us all. im saying that words like ‘i don’t see it here’ are a form of dismissal you need to be wary of using. Im not “trampling on STEM”, im explaining that preconceived notions of fairness you have can color your perspective, because you have not been forced to see otherwise. when i said “be careful not to dismiss”, i meant that your words were toeing the line towards dismissal. i can see upon reread that it could be taken worse than i intended, so i’ll be even clearer in saying “you must be careful not to”, not “you’re being dismissive right now”.

my whole point is: privilege is a double-edged sword and despite trying, your position in society means you cannot see these things as well as those who are forced to see.

Do you fundamentally disagree with this concept? Do you believe that what I’m saying is possible? I’m not coming at you from a high horse, im saying these things as someone who has reevaluated their own perspective with privilege in mind and wants to share what they’ve learned.

If someone claims that women are held to a higher standard, I think asking “how is it possible that on average, at all levels, they get higher grades and they are the majority of students?” is a fair question.

No, it completely misunderstands ops point, and i am flabbergasted that you should double-down like this. Can you provide for me other meanings for ops point? what “held to a higher standard” might actually mean? Until you can tell me how “but girls grades were higher ipso facto they were not held to higher standards” does *not or might not be relevant, your refutation spurious and your refutation dismissed.

I have no interest to debate or invalidate one’s experience, maybe this cannot be generalized if there are quite glaring issues with statistical data.

i don’t believe you, because that’s exactly what you are doing. if you’re not interested, stop doing it?

it’s one of those things a lot of thought’s been put into and commies themselves argue about. i feel it’s great to conceptualize (and with it the differing definitions of “the state” as well) but i’m not a scholar anyway, this ain’t the place, and it’s moot since socialism needs to be achieved first anyway, after we beat this whole fascism thing. no point in worrying to much about it eh?

im sorry, i want to answer you but you need to rewrite that whole mess, it’s intolerably difficult to read (unless you’re really just tellin a woman “this unrelated data doesn’t match your life experience”).

that would be comically stupid and sexist, and proving OP right!

I must be missing something. Maybe you’re doing a bit of satire? Embracing the stereotype of “italians=super-sexist”?

naw. I gotta be reading it wrong.

please rewrite this in italian so i can see the nuance lost in the translation

Granted, i’m a man

you haven’t noticed racism and sexism because you are a male who’s the “proper color” for the region in which you reside.

male privilege and white privilege are often misunderstood to mean like “special privileges” and poopoo’d because plenty of white men struggle to get by in this world, but that’s not what it means.

it means the privilege of ‘being taken seriously’, the privilege of ‘benefit is the doubt’, privilege of ‘basic respect and decency’.

it also has the benefit/drawback of ‘privilege to be blind of misogyny/racism’. I believe you wholeheartedly when you say you’ve never seen it, but that’s the “privilege”.

The responsibility you hold in return for this “privilege” is you must believe the words of peeps who don’t share this “privilege” when they tell you their experiences. after all, why would you see these things? How else would you experience them when you aren’t directly a part of them?

'course you wouldn’t! That’s fine! Normal! why would you see them? those things aren’t directed at you. that’s really all the “privilege” is!

back to responsibility, be careful not to dismiss the words of people who have direct experiences of racism and sexism just because they don’t match your own. remember, these things aren’t directed at you!

have a good one

yeah, Lenin even stated this was the end-goal.

Ahh. i hope you gave a long memory and the capacity to learn shame, cuz this is a bad look that a future-you should remember and cringe at.

save these, ok?

No! N-O i just got that song outta my head.

For days

Looks like he needs a larger t-shirt, maybe they were out of mediums?

Maybe give him a peanut m&m

Even Elon pays better than this
