It seems like a cheap pop topic that do nothing milquetoast centrist corporate Democrats will pull out to look progressive while doing nothing that challenges anything. Example, over the summer the DNC held a meeting in which they 1)mildly reduced the role of super delegates in subverting the will of primary voters 2) adopted non binary gender language in their charter.

Welp. Mission accomplished then? I am not sure where you envision the dialogue proceeding from here once you say something as meandering, abrasive and combative as this.

Koalas Massacre posted:Dude the first time I had a trigeminal neuralgia flare up the pain was so bad I could barely speak, turn my head or move my (right) arm the ER doc told me it was a migraine and to go home and take some ibuprofen without running a single test, despite knowing my mom found me in the bottom of the shower, picked me up and drug me over there and I described it as an electrical burning. This is something that it's really hard for men in particular to grasp: women's experience going to a doctor in general is mostly of being ignored or dismissed or given the equivalent of a pat on the head and a handful of ibuprofen. Like as much as guys seem to hate hearing about anything to do with women's health, people should be loving outraged at how badly the great majority of doctors listen to women. The whole 'it took me 3 visits to get them to even run super basic diagnostic stuff' is the start to basically every healthcare story you ever hear from women. Men would be burning doctors offices down in protest if they were treated that dismissively Women of color then get it a whole order of magnitude worse CmdrRiker posted:Welp.

Twice as many white men voted for the contemptible right wing mouth-breather president in 2016 as voted for the Democratic candidate. I'm pretty sure if you add in sexuality and narrowed that down to straight white men, it'd be even worse. This doesn't mean that every straight white American man you meet is a wingnut, but it does mean you have about 70/30 odds that he is. That all said, if you're so snowflakey that you think the DNC adopting gender-inclusive language is somehow a personal insult to you, then yes, you are in fact the rear end in a top hat.

A lovely Trump picked ambassador is better than no ambassador at all for those countries. Plus it will be fun to learn all the dumb bribery that happened for some handbag manufacturer to buy the ambassadorship to Benin or whatever.

And so in conclusion, it's selfish for Korean women to demand better conditions/gender equality when obviously liberation from Japan will mean liberation for ALL Koreans. They should really just be quiet and trust that their betters will take care of them once the struggle is over.

Marxism, as a totalizing theory of critique, encompasses these movements, it doesn't oppose them. Overthrowing the bourgeoisie is the same thing as ending the conditions that create institutional racism. Mantis42 fucked around with this message at 03:50 on Jan 3, 2019 |

FizFashizzle posted:Smoked but didn’t inhale, eh? Apparently he played EVE with Goonswarm lmao. I have survived one half of my trip and am in a hotel room. I come to recommend a recent episode of the Citations Needed podcast, titled "A Matter of Survival - Trivializing Trans Rights as a Boutique “Identity” Issue." It's really good, particularly the guest interview, and is extremely worth listening to and considering engaging with some of the organizations they mention.
