They argue that women currently make as much as men and that the statistics just reflect men pursuing higher paying jobs while women prefer lighter work jobs. When it's the same job they'll argue that the differential comes entirely from maternity leave and hey they chose to have a baby right?

I've seen all these arguments in the wild. What they fail address is the fact that 'work' has been designed by men, for men, so of course they're more likely to succeed. If work had been designed by women, childcare would be built into it and wouldn't affect pay, for example. That's aside from the seperarate issue that women are expected to be carers.

There are actual black markets you can visit to buy drugs and guns.

Japanese are the real racists

Being racist is actually appropriating Japanese culture.

As a white, male, Protestant, should I be mad that social progress and equality is essentially people appropriating my culture?

Perhaps Owned.com could interest you in other Crazy Pictures & Videos that may also blow you away. Like, imagine a very succinct joke about the wage gap, or black people, condensed into four frames as to sufficiently rock your world in the shortest time imaginable. They also offer a wide variety of picture archiving services, so that everything is blurry, much like the line between what is right and wrong.

Eh, websites automatically artifacting your images for you is just a standard feature by now. I don't even bother anymore if I have to do it myself by taking a picture of my screen and printing out the picture and then scanning it back in and saving as a .gif.

I'm guessing this happened because of D&D and it's pretty funny, but it happens because whereas liberalism on the world stage refers to a person belief in being allowed to do whatever they want in terms of economics and otherwise, liberalism in the U.S. is primarily used to differentiate people who favor a liberal (as opposed to a conservative) view of our Constitution. I have many friends from other countries who hate being called a liberal even though they are very leftist.

Tiberius Thyben posted:

I am kinda curious about seeing some of these people define radical feminism, compared to normal feminism. Women making as much as men isn't really insanely out there.

Academically, radical feminism is designated as feminist belief in a need for systemic change, centered around the concept of the patriarchy. Liberal feminism is a belief that if we just change the laws, equality will naturally follow. Marxist feminists are looking for a class revolution and are usually radical feminists, but not the other way around (plenty of radical feminists don't do work around economic change so they may be Marxist in ideology but their work may not be Marxist). I am a radical feminist academic working on gender, race and mental health disparities and differentials in diagnosis (a.k.a. why do black people get diagnosed with schizophrenia instead of major depressive disorder when they present with the same symptoms as whites? Why do women more often get diagnosed with borderline personality disorder instead of narcissistic personality disorder when presenting with the same symptoms as men?) I could never present my work or the work of my colleagues to imgur without a huge misunderstanding because there's a common parlance that radical means extremist and extremism is always bad (and extremism in America is anything left of center). It's really upsetting.

Oh. I know a fair bit about feminism. Just that he seems to throw that in under his made up idea of radical feminism. He claims that "normal feminism" is fine, but also seems to view the idea of equality somehow offensive or inherently radical. Thus, I am curious about how he defines each, and am betting he would try to weasel about if questioned.

If there is one thing I have learned from Imgur, it's that people there define "radical feminism" as "feminists who are not nice to me/carry on conversations I don't get". I'm serious on several levels here. It's very dominant on Imgur, for whatever reason, to maintain the opinion that feminism is a system that should involve cooperation with no deference whatsoever to power dynamics. They carry on this weird standard to every other kind of imaginable permutation of respectability politics, hence why so many of their users are super sandy about BLM. It's so loving weird.
