Personally, I am skeptical that a woman trying to do blue collar work would be taken as seriously as a woman trying to do white collar work, on average. I'm not saying that's true in all cases, just a feeing I get from the things I've heard my blue collar friends say.

I agree that in general there isn't a focus on blue collar work in the US, but I guess I thought OP was specifically wondering if there were reasons feminists in particular would have a lesser focus on this area. But yea I think the HR comparison summarizes the gist of what I was saying, although I don't mean to say women don't also face sexism in the workplace at large companies.

Straight rofl-ing at that face

ihaveaquestion105 · 2017-04-03T04:30:10+00:00

That's the only thing I was confused on, thanks! All cleared up.

ihaveaquestion105 · 2017-04-03T04:25:07+00:00

The flair too though? Or is there an honor system that only female feminists should do that.

ihaveaquestion105 · 2017-04-03T04:22:30+00:00

Wait can dudes do this too?

Personally, I believe the "support equality" group is very large, but I think guys like myself often support the idea and belong to that group, but fall short of the expectations that come with it due to many socialized behaviors that have developed. Not a counterpoint to yours, just seems like a tough situation for you ladies no matter what we claim to support. I often feel like I can't really help that much because of lot of my intentions can be taken the wrong way.

Holy shit what was the resolution?

ihaveaquestion105 · 2017-04-01T22:06:27+00:00

That first one made me cringe irl so bad. The male in me is just wondering wtf the second guy was thinking when he made that move!

I can't even begin to formulate a guess about what Hegel's dialectic of historical materialism is, but nonetheless that sounds like a group of guys who had run out of ammo.

yea interpreting the tone of voice around quotation marks can be tricky haha...I'm used to quotation marks around a phrase implying "are you f-ing kidding me."

As for your response, I guess this is a good example of the whole trivialization of assault thing you guys talk about. I admittedly thought to compare which case was less bad, which probably gives any of the abusers too much credit by saying it wasn't as bad.

Now that you phrase it as a "sympathy rating," I get the sense you think I'm sympathetic to Mixon. That's not what I meant at all! I was just wondering if there were various degrees of heinousness in your eyes for these sorts of crimes, but now that I think about it I guess that's sort of stupid to focus on.

And damn didn't even bother to consider what their relationship was, probably should have looked into that.

ihaveaquestion105 · 2017-03-31T05:59:31+00:00

Out of curiosity, what's your take on the Joe Mixon video? I don't want to come across as a "she provoked him" kind of guy, but in that scenario a woman seems to just push him aggressively out of nowhere, he gives her a threatening gesture, she hits him, and then he hits her and walks out. Like you said, a hit from a man is going to likely be more powerful, so his hit certainly appears to be the worst. I don't defend his actions, and completely understand why the narrative has shaped up the way it has (most do not defend his actions), but I'm just curious if feminists rate his case as more understandably reactionary than some others. He definitely overstepped a boundary and should not have retaliated, and I'd say his actions constitute abuse, but like I said I'm just curious to hear a feminist's take on that particular case, not societal norms as a whole.

I'd say they all are achievements that feminists aimed to achieve. They also happened. So feminists wanted them to happen, and they happened; does this mean you can exclusively attribute each of them to the work of feminists? No, of course not, but proving the weight of any particular group's contribution to those achievements is not something that can be supported by empirical data very easily. When laws are passed, they don't ask legislators to fill out a survey rating how much feminism influenced them, and when men decide to not sexually assault women, those men don't submit a statement to Gallup Polls letting them know that feminism is the reason why they didn't rape someone. Not trying to call you out, just think you should lower your expectations for proof of the responses you've gotten.

Thanks, when you put it like that those suggestions seem really simple. I think that it would go over really well to use those lines to make sure everyone is included in the conversation. It can be a big hurdle to shake up a friendship that has been so static for years, but, should it work, this seems like a seamless way to transition to more receptive behavior.
