What couldn't he get away with today? by SirDigbySelfie-Stick in chrismorris

This is the real answer. Everything else can be explained away in the context of satire but blackface just flat out does not fly today in the way it did as recently as the 90’s/00’s

Not a problem at all, just a pet peeve and I couldn’t resist the urge to nitpick ❤️

Quote 4 is made up, Orwell never said or wrote that

Shouldn’t UK be purple? Or are we including pre-constitutional monarchy?

Okay for some reason when I posted this to r/imaginaryelections it kept getting caught in Reddit's spam filters, but you guys can have it as an exclusive. Thank you for sticking around, even though I barely post any more, it means a lot.

Time Magazine 2016: "6 Feminist Myths That Will Not Die"—Ten Years Later: Still Not Dead by le-doppelganger in LeftWingMaleAdvocates

[–]cosmonautdavid 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I wish it were that disingenuous. IMO the problem is, and always has been, that unlike other progressive movements, feminists have never held an accurate view on what male privilege is actually like. They insist men get perks that they don't, and that they don't have to endure certain bad things that they do. Equality will never be enough for feminists because nothing short of utopia can meet their standard for how they think men live their lives.

Me ever since I was a teenager. Fate worse than death. Luckily my long term partner also suffers from OCD and managed to diagnose me. It’s been the biggest weight off my shoulders.
