yes
the hypocricy of virtue
Like, I would say what and who I've donated to and how much, but I'm not looking for that kind of recognition or approval from people. I even consider mentioning that I do it at all as a form of kind of 'bragging' about it, but I was just bringing it up as an example.
but it pretty much boils down to that you can judge a person by how loudly they announce their actions
But then even saying that I do that in and of itself could be seen as seeking recognition. lol
well its about the validation of it
A person who feels good by doing good won't need recognition because their own actions enrich them (the real heroes)
A person can still DO good but feel good by being recognised for it (that would be me :P)
And then theres people who don't to do genuine good but still want to be recognised as good (virtue signalers)
And people who don't do good and don't wanna be recognised (the people with lives too busy for this sort of virtue-crap)
Yeah.
but the point binding these fake do-gooders together is the fact that they all define themselves by how others see them
so they rabidly try to appear as "good" so that the world sees them as good and they can be happy that they're "good" people
The priorities have shifted from being good to looking good.
well
the priority moved to being "good" rather than being "right"
I think that's more accurate, yeah.
they'd rather be good and live a lie
than not be a good person, but be right, and truthful
I have to admit that I probably struggle with that too.
No one wants to be 'the bad guy', even if they're right.
exactly
but it ultimately is what seperates the men from the boys
The men accept it, and stick to the knowledge they're right
the boys just want to be good and have their parents achnowledge them as "good boys"
thats not to say that you must always be right, thats impossibruu
but you must still strive to be right
not just sink to the easy "good boy" status because its easier
but its because they want a state where its basically "its okay, atleast you tried"
I’m just saying there’s an actual historical basis for claiming claiming sexuality is fluid and not binary.
At the same time there’s nothing that’s going to convince me gender is a spectrum
I’m also not trying to claim gender dysphoria isn’t a mental illness, because it clearly is
well thats not even the issue
When you look at it, nobody cares what consenting adults do behind closed doors
If i don't know a person is a tranny, gay person or chinese, why should i care?
its the fact they want to A, push this on children, and B force me to somehow partake in knowing what their sexuality is about that bothers me (and most people about this issue)
its like the internets rule on girls
If you don't know the other player is one, you can't be sexist towards them
also 100% on your 3 statements
Like, personally I’m willing to entertain the notion that people want to differentiate between biological sex & gender. Sex is what your born with, gender is the roles society tends to impart on a person sure. You wanna change your role in society, by all means go for it, I don’t give a shit. You can’t change your biology. I also refuse to buy into this bajillion different genders crap. You wanna define gender as the roles & norms imparted onto you by society, fine, but if you’re gunna do that you get 3 genders maximum. Male, which historically means the provider role & norms. Female, historically meaning home caregiver role & norms. Enlightened, basically forgo traditional world view for spiritual enlightenment. The 3rd gender basically died when abrahamic religions took over because they’re all patriarchal.
You wanna take on a different gender role than the sex you were born into, be my guest, this is a free society
Technology has advanced far enough that you don’t have to take on your traditional role
Rejoice
The problem I have with this tumblr gender bullshit is that these people don’t seem to understand wtf a gender is
They just want one that sounds special & fancy
thats what i said earlier, they want something unique to define them because they don't have anything unique about them
also gender arguably has no meaning at all
It just nudges that a person tends to prefer the traits of said biological sex
If theres only 2 biological sexes there can only be 2 genders since the term is used to say "you resemble masculine traits mostly or feminine traits"
tumblr people see gender as the emotional state of mind nowadays
Where some kind of "Stronggender" implies they feel confident
And "Pouty-kin gendered" means they're feeling depressed or something
The reason I go 3 is historically there are those who forgo all masculine & feminine traits, as well as most of their earthly ties to try and attain spiritual enlightenment. In western & Islamic civilization we have specific ways to attain this enlightenment for each gender (Christianity has the priesthood for men, & the nunnery for women), but in many eastern & Native American cultures they didn’t
Biological men & women took the same path to enlightenment
