but when its literally just switching the person, same act, same everything

2019-11-08 02:02:40 UTC  

itsp ointing out a double standard

2019-11-08 02:03:13 UTC  

How about the fact that him investigating corruption and protecting the integrity of the election is literally the President's job? They're impeaching him for doing his job.

I mean, "mansplaining" is just sexism against men (and blatant hypocrisy of "feminism is about equality"). But I think "sealioning" takes the cake. Do you remember when sealioning was a "gotcha"?

so basically its playing to get the last word

2019-11-08 02:04:44 UTC  

Basically, it's the feminist way of dismissing any critique against feminism from people they don't want to include in the conversation (MRAs or generally anti-feminists).

2019-11-08 02:05:08 UTC  

Feminists think they should get to tell lies, and not be called out for lies. That's "sealioning".

2019-11-08 02:05:37 UTC  

When the "sealioning" was brought up, I though it was a parody of feminism and leftism. It turned out they *actually* think it's an argument.

2019-11-08 02:07:18 UTC  

The counter to "mansplaining" is empathy. If someone accuses you of mansplaining, ask if they think you lack empathy to understand how a woman might feel and if they say yes, then point out their attempts to civilize you are futile; and if they say no, then ask how they feel about women who share your position?

For instance, abortion. Feminists say men shouldn't have an opinion on it, yet there are plenty of pro-life women who make the exact same arguments you're making.

almost like ideas arent exclusive to genders, sexualities, races, or whatever else....

2019-11-08 02:08:15 UTC  

almost like ideas are universal and belong to no one

2019-11-08 02:08:25 UTC  

ideas have people

2019-11-08 02:08:28 UTC  

people dont have ideas

"Truth, whomever speaks it, is from God." ~ Legal Maxim

2019-11-08 02:08:52 UTC  

As I often say: "2+2=4" doesn't stop being true just cuz Hitler said it.

2019-11-08 02:09:30 UTC  

to me 'god' means the objective truth of reality

2019-11-08 02:09:46 UTC  

people that live within that frame will always succeed

2019-11-08 02:10:06 UTC  

otherwise youre delusional and trying to put square pegs in roung holes

2019-11-08 02:10:48 UTC  

thats actually something my friend does all the time

"Sealioning." <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

2019-11-08 02:11:11 UTC  

he will say 'people should just say 'i dont know' more often'

2019-11-08 02:11:29 UTC  

even if he will ask a question, i asnwer it

2019-11-08 02:11:45 UTC  

Sealioning is the peak lack of self-awereness, IMO.

2019-11-08 02:12:08 UTC  

Imagine calling out people who demand sources for "sealioning".

2019-11-08 02:12:20 UTC  

its like bad faith arguments

2019-11-08 02:12:23 UTC  

Oh, you aren't allowed to slander with impunity?

2019-11-08 02:12:29 UTC  

'you want proof? what you dont trust me? wow bad faith'

2019-11-08 02:13:04 UTC  

I mean, just look at the comic:

2019-11-08 02:13:07 UTC  

he asked me once 'we dont know why shizo people act different in different cultures'

2019-11-08 02:13:11 UTC  

i answered exactly why

2019-11-08 02:13:27 UTC  

Is you were the anti-sealion people (either man or woman), why wouldn't you be able to dismiss the sealion by **EXPLAINING**?

2019-11-08 02:13:45 UTC  

Instead they go on from day to the next, saying the wish not to prove their assertion.

2019-11-08 02:13:54 UTC  

Art imitates life.

2019-11-08 02:14:21 UTC  

Feminists tried to make a comic against GamerGate, but it only exposes the feminist mindset of lying with impunity.

2019-11-08 02:14:33 UTC  

i assumed by the context of the panels that she answered between the panels

2019-11-08 02:14:42 UTC  

Nope. She didn't.

2019-11-08 02:14:54 UTC  

That's the reason why sealioning is ridiculous concept.

2019-11-08 02:15:02 UTC  

and the fact hes just wearing her down until she changes her mind from the pestering and its fighting for the last word type deal

2019-11-08 02:15:32 UTC  

I have a feminist friend, and I have seen that any criticism of feminism gets brushed aside as if they're non issues or outliers.

2019-11-08 02:15:33 UTC  

This was an anti-GamerGate comic after all. Don't think it would make sense.
