Guest2553 posted:Oh well as long as it's reality might as well suck it up since that's the way it's gotta be and there's no way to change it. Thanks for trying to educate an ignunt niggruh like myself, massa. You change it by either overthrowing it or becoming part of the system. The overthrowing part usually doesn't work, but the change from the inside is definitely something that happens. Case in point how lady business attire retailers are going out of business because women aren't expected to spend a fortune on dry-clean-only work clothes. That didn't happen until women starting influencing corporate policy. There are probably other more important examples, but gently caress if I'm going to cite poo poo on a Saturday night.

I get that, but you're putting a lot more nuance than idiot over there approaching it from the side of 'it doesn't affect me to it's not a problem, gently caress you for being born not white or wealthy, i got mine'. As if being aware that he's benefiting from a hosed up system and not caring is something to be proud of. With a side of disparaging sexual minorities  BWM is a lot funnier when it's not exploitative, there's a difference between people who spend all their discretionary income on horse psychics and people who have been systemically subject to redlining and pogroms to destroy preemptively destroy any ability to acquire economic and political capital. Saying stupid inflammatory poo poo and hiding behind 'b-b-but no politics  ' rule is some trick-rear end bullshit.

[quote="“therobit”" post="“477163738”"] Is this your own observation or have you read anything good on the subject? It sounds interesting. [/quote] It's a real thing and affecting retailers like J. Crew, Banana Republic, and Macy's. The Limited just went out of business partly because of it. The part about women in management influencing dress codes is just an observation. Like how colleges finally started taking campus sexual assault seriously only after women constituted 51% of the study body. It makes sense that marginalized groups would start getting a say in stuff once enough of them get past the institutional gatekeepers.

You know what is great about taxes? No matter the tax rate, you can always find a reason to bitch about it. Which is what sparked the eventual formation of America and creation of freedom: bitching about something.
