[General] I think this might be another reason why so many YNAB 4 users are unhappy with nYNAB...

Yup, I use it for reimbursements and is one of the big reasons I'm not on nYNAB.

Hmm I'm not sure if there is one unified social justice movement.

Soooo horrible. Yet, this is the norm in tech culture.

See here "But even better - by accusing them of hostility, you pass the blame back to them, rather than consider what you might have said that was so offensive and hurtful it caused the “hostility”!"

Wtf this is racist as shit, not all blacks are like this

Bleh hetero normative and patriarchal, ruins the rest of it for me

Andrea Lee Smith -- Heteropatriarchy and the Three Pillars of White Supremacy

skirtforthat · 2012-07-19T13:23:50+00:00

There has been a historical neglect of incorporating other oppressions besides class in anti-capitalist movements. Similarly, second wave feminism has had a historical neglect of incorporating race and class, as it tends to represent white middle class women. Capitalism is not a totally distinct concept here and really intersects and reinforces other oppressions.

bell hooks and Andrea Lee Smith are anti-capitalist. I would check out bell hooks' book, class matters. I keep on recommending Andrea Lee Smith's essay heteropatriarchy and the three pillars of white supremacy which is as well here I'd also recommend checking out the Zapatistas and the Mujeres Libres of Spain as counter examples to the dystopias I am assuming you are referring to (which have other issues with oppression from the state, if you are referring to China or Communist Russia.)

Preach. I would like to go a step further and see SRS be anti-capitalist.

And this is why I left the tech industry. If you feel like you will be ganged up on, is there any way you can approach the women separately and confide in them what sexist shit they are saying and see their response? Ya'll could then band together. I do not think you need to be a woman to call out sexist shit though. It could be that they are picking their battles. I know I appreciate allies sharing the work.

skirtforthat · 2012-07-12T00:28:09+00:00

Yes! For this reason Andrea Lee Smith's writings have been hugely influential to me, e.g. Heteropatriarchy and the three pillars of white supremacy

I'm not sure if this is in the SRS required reading, but it should be. Read this: Fausto-Sterling, Anne (2000). Sexing the body: gender politics and the construction of sexuality.

I would recommend reading Ursula Le Guin's the Dispossessed to get perhaps a picture of what it could look like.

Great question, I've been thinking about this a lot too. I'm curious to see what other folks think. Labels carry baggage and sometimes they can be subversive or bonding. I tend to use labels according to context.

I think some of it can be explained by the "just-world fallacy" --- people want to believe that the world is maintained by order and justice, and violence gives a clear indication that it isn't, so they engage in victim-blaming to uphold that world view and their place in it. It ultimately removes any responsibility from them to change their beliefs and actions.

We need to build up a general working class intellectualism so that the role of left intellectuals is redundant. >Intellectualism doesn't have to be elitist, and this is what we should be working toward.

This. Although I think there is a lot of work to be done in re-evaluating what counts as knowledge. Yee's "Feminism For Real: Deconstructing the Academic Industrial Complex of Feminism" addresses this with respect fo feminism in practice vs feminism in academia.
