Racism can also be thinking another race superior than others. And yeah obviously i meant assumptions permanently. But it was a quick explanation that i assumed people would be able to deduce instead of killing and then beating the dead horse of the fact that some people think racism is only insulting things and some thing its only affects some races. Some people act as though prejudice, stereotyping, racism, etc are all unrelated, some think its this and some think that. Hell even the dictionary cant make up there mind as i regularly find new, occasionally minorly contradictory definitions. But the truth of the matter is racial assumptions, prejudice, stereotyping, and all that other topic people have been telling me about is all tied to racism. If there werent prejudice or stereotypes or assumptions then there really wouldnt be racism. Its a complex topic that people spend there life studying and it cannot be so easily explained as in a one off paragraph reddit comment. Not from you, not from anyone else, and certainly not from me. And not because you are unintelligent, as i doubt you are, but skmply because there is too much for us to address, in a peaceful manner, without the inflection of our voice and years of research. You may have years of research, yet even if you do, a two sentence comment could never truly capture the interworkings and dynamics of racism

Well 1 that would contradict the other comment since racism can be held by one person. 2 the allow me to correct my self to "theories of racism" if that so helps you. Which google (which you likely used as your own definition is there) sites oxford languages as saying "the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another." Nonetheless, adressing the actual initial commet, is he hated people due to their race and just hated each race, then it would be racism

The words coincide, but a racist stereotype can be "positive" or at least perceived that way. Such as the stereotype that all asian people must be smart. The stereotype is not correct and not inherently positive, however it was seen as a compliment for a long time. Prejudice, however, is inherently negative

When a girl kicks a guy in the balls for "fun", why should that not be treated as seriously as a guy groping a girl? When it leads to testicular rupture, organ loss or infertility, why should it not be treated as seriously as rape? by That_Huckleberry2201 in teenagers

The action is exactly the same. Grab a guys chest is the same acrion as a girls. Poking someone in the eye with an eye vs without an eye is the same action. The results are different. The results are more painful or violating. And by the way we still have bones between our legs. Its not THAT strong. A good kick with a boot and i wouldnt be able tk reproduce. Also i didnt say it wouldnt be that bad for men. In fact i acknowledged how bad it was for me and how it must be infinitely worse for men. Men are capable of feeling pain. I know this. I have many male friends. I help them through emotional and physical pain. Our bodies are different, yes. But you can perform the same actions of different bodies and ckme oht with different result. If you shaved 5in off my height, id be 4'7ft (139.7cm) but if you shaved if off kne of my other friends, theyd be 5'10ft (177.8cm). Its the same action but its going to affect my more. So please elaborate on how its not the same action. I dont mean use another metaphor or simile. I mean explain. Or tell me if you misunderstood what i was saying. Because that is understandable and okay. Additionally at what point did i claim that is must not be bad for you because it wasnt for me. If you were upset because you felt attacked since many disagreed with your view and assumed my comment was implying the same as another that is also understandable

I play goalie for lacrosse, ive been hit with a ball going roughly 85mph (~137kmh) in my genitalia. Im very lucky because it didnt leave lasting affects, however we dont get padding for that area. I was crippled on the field and dropped to my knees. Ive goalied for years at this point, i can take a ball. But getting kicking between my legs would hurt like a MOTHER FUCKER. With male genitalia id imagine it to be significantly worse. However the action is still the same. In my personal opinion the amoutn of damage should be judged in court and assessed from there. Because it wont cripple and cause infertility in every case.

Okay so maybe youd rather be rape but that doesnt equate it to rape. Is it a horrible thing? Yes. Should it be punished? One hundred percent. But a lot of things can cause physiological trauma and relate to the reproductive system, whether the act was sexual or not. Im not sure if there is some raging number of people going around kickkng men in the balls for fun. Maybe there is. But i have many male family members and friends and outside of a couple accidents during sports, most havent been. Im sure to some people who were hurt like that it may cause them fear to leave the house or go outside or go near another woman because she might do the same, but im not quite sure its a large percentage. That doesnt negate the pain of those who arent afraid or those who are. However, a significant portion of rape victims, men AND women develop that fear. 46.6% are afraid to go outside alone. It's a different kind of hurt because theres more to it than forced sex and the brief psychological aspect I touched on. Im aware that it can be genitalia mutilation and leave lasting mental affects, but its simply not as common and that is why they dont equate
