CI is hated on by everyone in the thread, but he keeps things interesting and we'd fall apart if he ever left. CI is basically the Quebec of the CanPol thread. Vive Le CI Libre!

bunnyofdoom posted:If the liberals were causing billionaires to kill themselves half the thread would start saying nice things about JT When I walked into the room as the news was breaking on the tv, I said "See, Canadians can still be proud of setting an example for the rest of the world to follow.". I felt kind of bad later, but only about these individual human beings who happened to be billionaires, not billionaires in general killing themselves.

I'm totally positive this oval office isn't pulling this stunt or of some cynical and devious plot to curry some kind of favour Even if she isn't, Iguess I'm not sure she'll be able to somehow comfort herself with that MP pension This is a grave injustice and we need the senate to investigate (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

James Baud posted:Being told to show your bus pass to get on the bus is also a microaggression, apparently. If you had an ounce more perspective, this might be where you'd think, "maybe other people really do experience life differently because of their race or gender," rather than knee jerk making GBS threads all over the concept.

As the posterboy for white privilege I can't imagine why anyone would be distrusting of authority figures, feel unwelcome in certain social situations, or believe that life in general is a daily struggle. Acknowledging that someone might feel this way is actually denying them agency. namaste faggots posted:Hmmm quite right transit fares are inherently racist Farebox recovery is classist AF, comrade.

Right, nobody would have said that because who leaves their wallet on the counter in a public bathroom and none of it happened.

I got to see one of these at a christmas party. CEO comes over and gives the female employee a pat on shoulder and says "Smile!" and her boyfriend, who doesn't work there, a big handshake. I don't think it was a microaggression because there was no intent there but, having been oversensitized to the gendered lens from this thread, I checked in and she was seething.

It probably makes less sense to men because they keep their wallets in their pockets, but the idea that a woman placed her wallet or handbag or whatever it was on the counter isn't implausible at all. quote:I got to see one of these at a christmas party. CEO comes over and gives the female employee a pat on shoulder and says "Smile!" and her boyfriend, who doesn't work there, a big handshake. I don't think it was a microaggression because there was no intent there but, having been oversensitized to the gendered lens from this thread, I checked in and she was seething. Maybe he's sexually harassed her in the past or is just a condescending prick. Maybe she just hates his guts and having his hand on her shoulder physically repulses her. It's not that hard to imagine. She's probably just being overly sensitive because she's a woman, though, amirite?  ETA: Men do this poo poo a lot actually, casually touch their female associates and subordinates. And, yeah, sometimes it's unwelcome or inappropriate. A male boss touching a female subordinate who isn't living up to his expectations of perky at an office party actually is a perfect example of a condescending micro-aggression. Thanks for sharing.

Touching your employees is a sign of dominance and doesn’t necessarily imply sexist intent. It’s just a thing certain types of boss do E: not defending it, just saying that if you watch the boss he’s probably doing that to his male employees too. Stopping doing that would be a good thing all around.

It’s just a thing certain types of boss do I get that you're not trying to defend it, but it is funny how much the thread is guffawing and bending over backwards to deny that careless racist and sexist stuff happens all the time. Maybe it was just a dominance thing. Maybe it was both. But it pretty clearly isn't out of bounds to interpret it as a sexist thing, which is funny since it was intended as an anecdote about how overly sensitive some people are.

I don’t think it’s out of bounds to interpret it as sexist, especially if you’re the one being touched. But it’s one of the ways people demonstrate their power, regardless of gender. It’s a more exaggerated version of the two hand handshake.

PhilippAchtel posted:She's probably just being overly sensitive because she's a woman, though, amirite? Well I asked and she was pissed off she didn't get the handshake. She wanted him to see her first as a professional competent employee and not as a woman. I agree the touching was inappropriate but that wasn't what really hurt, it was her perceived, probably accurate, reasoning behind it and that her boyfriend got what she wanted just by default. The CEO is either misses glaringly obvious things or recognizes what motivates her and withholds it like a perfect slot machine. e: it was definitely sexist, the shoulder touch and the smile! thing was not something you'd do to a guy
