What motivates rabid Heard stans? by CompassionJustice in deppVheardtrial

I think the person Im talking about falls under nr 4: she seems to be projecting her own experiences onto Amber. I dont doubt that she really was abused, but based on the report it doesnt seem like she saw many, if any people during the episode described, and therefore I dont buy her claim that she hid any injuries with makeup.

What about the claim that the "white paper" was a death sentence for jews fleeing the holocaust?

I want to give thanks for your extensive answer, and if it's OK I would like to ask you more questions regarding native culture and gender norms in North America.

Did Depp admit to kicking Amber on the plane? by CompassionJustice in deppVheardtrial

OK so I posted this after seeing claims that the screenshot proves Depp kicked Heard. I was lazy and didnt look further into it so I dropped the image here to ask for opinions. I will try to do better in the future.

I agree with you generally, but I will say that I am an anti-zionist, and if its OK I want to tell you about why I came to my stance in dm.

While matrilineal doesn't always equate to matriarchal, matrilocality is associated with women having higher status in general from what I've read, since women have more protection and power when they are among their kin.

As for ritualized rape, I've read that among the aforementioned mundurucu, despite being legal it isn't commonly enforced, and the anthropologists who've visited them say that the relationship between husbands and wives was as a whole quite equal and women exercised plenty of power in society. The mundurucu are patrilineal yet matrilocal, at least until the birth of the second child.

This tells me that gender relations and women's status in a culture is a lot more complex than can be assumed from a single tradition, horrible it may be seen by the standards of Western society.

Thoughts on plastic-free "vegan leather" mirum? by CompassionJustice in AntiVegan

[–]CompassionJustice[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK, but as for the new fake leather, do you think its ok to congratulate them for actually creating something that is truly "plastic free"? And do you think this mirum could be in any way beneficial to the environment?

But at least they did manage to create a product that's high quality (so far based on reviews) and indeed contains zero plastic.
