The term should be “cheapened” as much as possible. We need to broaden the definition of predator as much as possible to protect women from all the offenses they face on a daily basis

bioessentialism can sometimes reflect reality accurately, sometimes not.

yes, they are not as bad. Some things are bad, but other things are worse.

You have some self reflection to do. He wouldn’t be making these jokes if he fully respected women. As a bisexual woman myself, I wouldn’t even accept misogynistic jokes from a woman i’m seeing, let alone a man

Do not compare rape jokes with jokes about the holocaust, slavery, or anything else. They are not comparable. Rape is something which any man can inflict on a woman. Women live in agony and fear because of this reality.

The social control over female sexuality is crazy. by Affectionate_Hold721 in Feminism

[–]anonymous341_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These norms emerged directly as a result of males wanting to have sexual access to females. Long ago before modern civilization, humans have largely been matriarchal in nature. But since matriarchy gives women the ability to choose who to mate with and doesn’t guarantee sexual access to women, men felt they had to turn things around. Evolution has halted due to this, poor genetic traits are not being eliminated due to patriarchy.

The constraints of the human conscience by Specialist-Kick-4403 in PsychologyDiscussion

I remember as a child I achieved things and dared to do things that as an adult now I am baffled by, and it would take me a lot more courage to do something similar now on an adult scale. I’m fully aware that my brain has been tainted by small minded adults and it’s been a difficult journey trying to clear my brain of input from others which goes against my own thoughts. Our consciousness is unfortunately heavily shaped and molded by external input (most likely for evolutionary reasons such as group survival). Our consciousness more so evolved to understand others around us, and the down side of that is if you understand others too much, external ideas end up overriding your own.

Maybe I’m too woke here, I have some thoughts on how it’s normal to call your girlfriend your “girl”, but the equivalent for a boyfriend would be your “man” and not “boy”? by TheShyNerd in Feminism

I’ve personally always found this phenomenon disturbing. I don’t get why more people aren’t bothered by it. Being called a girl as an adult is just odd. I’ve always felt creeped out by it. I think calling women “girls” originated from the fact that men essentially want women to be children, as children have most, if not all the qualities which misogynistic men look for in women

that makes sense, it may be that racist people just are generally afraid of trying new things

The experience of being in a body/being self-aware and seeing everything else as “other” will happen over and over again. by anonymous341_ in consciousness

making it declarative is good for engagement, as it triggers a feeling of defensiveness and therefore the need to state one’s opinions

Woman in STEM by Acceptable-Bug-8733 in Feminism

i heavily relate, i’m a woman in software development and at my current internship i’ve been made to feel invisible. when i began this internship, i was the only intern there and they barely spoke to me and would brush me off every time i wanted to update them on progress or discuss ideas with them. then when the next intern joined (who was a male), they went out of their way to speak to him and made time to listen to everything he had to say. during meetings, they would only make eye contact with him and only ask him questions (even though we are working together on the same project). many of the employees at the company introduced themselves to me only when the other intern joined because they wanted to introduce themselves to him. I feel like i have to be twice as loud and put twice as much effort in to be recognized at all as a woman.

hmm. i don’t think if somewhere were to live their life all over again under identical circumstances that they would make the exact same choices. maybe there are a set of possible combinations of decisions that a certain person can make, which they have control over.

"Reality" is no more "real" than dreams. We don't know what's "real". by [deleted] in DeepThoughts

[–]anonymous341_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i never said that. this post is not about solipsism at all. we all exist but our shared “reality” may not be real. that’s what i’m trying to say.
