Feminism actually never changed.

2018-11-23 20:52:36 UTC  

Feminism has always been about gynocentrism.

2018-11-23 20:52:40 UTC  

The dichotomy strengthens the current power holders

2018-11-23 20:52:54 UTC  

So, if we are all for egalitarianism - great - but I will do hell to conflate the two.

2018-11-23 20:53:07 UTC  

You won't catch me dead equating the two.

2018-11-23 20:53:38 UTC  

We got to where we are in fits and starts, but I'm glad that we have achieved what we have. Racial equality, equality of the sexes, enhanced personal liberty and agency, etc. Now we just need to deal with the less savory consequences. I'd like to see us do that without losing the good stuff.

2018-11-23 20:53:45 UTC  

We can also discuss pretty much any feminist author if you don't believe me.

2018-11-23 20:54:15 UTC  

Yes, agree, but here's the rub:

2018-11-23 20:54:25 UTC  

We've shifted from the original point of contention but okay

2018-11-23 20:54:26 UTC  

We don't have those though

2018-11-23 20:54:32 UTC  

WIth the excesses we are facing now, we might very well be in the process of "losing the good stuff".

2018-11-23 20:54:36 UTC  

We went too far one way

2018-11-23 20:54:43 UTC  

That is what I am truly scared of. Things such as due process.

2018-11-23 20:54:49 UTC  

We have always been inclined towards women.

2018-11-23 20:55:21 UTC  

We have been inclined towards possessing and protecting women

2018-11-23 20:55:25 UTC  

Women get away with murder. There was a point when prosecutors were discussing no longer prosecuting women for murder, because they would usually cry in a court room and the jury would often let them get off.

2018-11-23 20:55:43 UTC  

I am scared nowadays to even interact with women.

2018-11-23 20:55:59 UTC  

I don't want my friends, brothers, or father to have to deal with false alelgations, for example.

2018-11-23 20:56:13 UTC  

We have gone absolutely batshit crazy in that regard.

2018-11-23 20:56:27 UTC  

I know two people who have dealt with false accusations- one legally and one socially

2018-11-23 20:56:35 UTC  

Yes, I do too.

2018-11-23 20:56:40 UTC  

And how did it go?

2018-11-23 20:56:42 UTC  

A friend of a friend committed suicide over it.

2018-11-23 20:56:50 UTC  

Yikes

2018-11-23 20:57:05 UTC  

Those things actually happen a lot.

2018-11-23 20:57:18 UTC  

One went to prison and then was let out when it was revealed it was untrue, one was nearly completely isolated but I vouched for him

2018-11-23 20:57:34 UTC  

Thank god.

2018-11-23 20:57:35 UTC  

And it was later 100% confirmed that the accuser was lying in the latter case

If we cam stop false allegations it would be nice

2018-11-23 20:57:43 UTC  

I was the only one though

2018-11-23 20:57:52 UTC  

I flipped two other people

2018-11-23 20:58:15 UTC  

But if I had followed the narrative he would have lost his whole social circle

2018-11-23 20:58:41 UTC  

I am glad you were there then.

2018-11-23 20:58:56 UTC  

The cases have been insane recently

2018-11-23 20:59:04 UTC  

Jian Ghomeshi, Brian Banks, Tyler Kost

2018-11-23 20:59:05 UTC  

So am I. It was shit too, because I was friends with both of them
