but, since that day, everyones gone crazy

2019-01-22 16:40:56 UTC  

you are either with us "feminist, against the patriarchy, against all political ideologies that are not liberal"

2019-01-22 16:40:58 UTC  

or against us

2019-01-22 16:41:43 UTC  

My UNI had rooms setup for people after the election to come talk about the results and how it would affect them

2019-01-22 16:42:02 UTC  

I, for some reason I can't remember, said "Well, would we have had these rooms if Hiliary won?"

2019-01-22 16:42:12 UTC  

wow, you should have seen the outcry

2019-01-22 16:42:36 UTC  

For them, It's basically you're with us or you're a nazi

2019-01-22 16:42:43 UTC  

Yup

2019-01-22 16:44:07 UTC  

since then, I've just stopped talking with most people, whom I do not already have a political understanding of, about anything

2019-01-22 16:49:15 UTC  

Getting a coffee and then headed back to the court house. Prayer Time. Updates to come!

2019-01-22 16:49:46 UTC  

I wish u luck I'm sure you will do well

2019-01-22 16:50:17 UTC  

@Dan da Dad Good luck at the court! I'm rooting for you!

2019-01-22 16:50:39 UTC  

Hope everything goes well for you today mate

2019-01-22 16:51:06 UTC  

I should be asleep >.<

2019-01-22 16:52:37 UTC  

@InsaneCaterpilla It's the internet, so I think that goes for 90% of us here. XD

2019-01-22 16:52:45 UTC  

Haha

Hello @papaschnay !

2019-01-22 17:32:15 UTC  

Hi there

2019-01-22 17:32:42 UTC  

Just checking in to say hi. @modulos and I actually work on the same campus so we kind of get hit with a lot of the same political environment 😛

2019-01-22 17:32:56 UTC  

Awesome

2019-01-22 17:41:20 UTC  

@Men Are Human are you affiliated with the website menarehuman.com at all?

2019-01-22 17:41:29 UTC  

Oh do you? I guess you found a friend in that case. 😃

2019-01-22 17:41:38 UTC  

@papaschnay I am indeed!

2019-01-22 17:41:58 UTC  

Anything you'd like added to the stories or articles?

2019-01-22 17:43:20 UTC  

no, i just thought i'd tell you that I read your article about the Gillette ad and it does a pretty good job of explaining what i can't put in words to those that don't get it ... i've linked to it quite a few times

2019-01-22 17:44:04 UTC  

for what it's worth, i'm kind of right of center which on an american college campus feels like a far-right extremist

2019-01-22 17:48:22 UTC  

Thanks a lot for linking, that's a really big help. If you have any feedback, let me know!

2019-01-22 17:49:34 UTC  

It's a huge shame you are getting treated like that. I've seen that attitude online recently that the whole right wing is far right - which doesn't even make sense really.

2019-01-22 17:50:03 UTC  

I'm glad you liked the article though, and I hope it helped. 😃

2019-01-22 17:58:12 UTC  

Could you tell me more about the day to day stuff? Are you being harassed at all, or is it only when you say something they see as 'bad'?

2019-01-22 18:24:46 UTC  

@papaschnay you're not alone at all, there are many more like you. thats why people are beginning to oppose feminism/SJWism

2019-01-22 18:27:15 UTC  

so, it's interesting. i don't dare open my mouth as a member of leadership on a college campus for fear of losing my job by expressing wrongthink. some of my opinions are considered unpopular so i bite my tongue because i like what I do here.

2019-01-22 18:27:56 UTC  

thats what i did for years. but the thing is, there are many people who secretly agree with you. they are just waiting for someone to speak it. we cant wait for things to change, we ARE the change

2019-01-22 18:28:25 UTC  

it's incredibly frustrating to be in such a politically charged environment surrounded by activists on the other side of the spectrum yet there are no repercussions for their opinions getting expressed

2019-01-22 18:28:54 UTC  

you could make a difference if you speak out. but yes, there's risk

2019-01-22 18:30:59 UTC  

what just boggles my mind, is that these people, whatever you say they are, label themselves as "harmony, includer, consistency, context, etc" but when you want to challenge their view and ask to be included, you get those look of udder shock

2019-01-22 18:31:28 UTC  

"This is a college campus, no? Can we not have civil discorse?"

2019-01-22 18:31:32 UTC  

i should have taken a picture of this. a while back, we have an area on campus that is used for demonstrations/gatherings and this particular day a feminist group was protesting sexual violence. good for them. they hung shirts with various slogans on them that were meant to bring awareness to different aspects of assault/violence.

2019-01-22 18:32:27 UTC  

One of the shirts read in black ink, "men are to be shamed, women are to be believed" ... and my jaw dropped because such blanket statements can never universally be true and divisive / harmful rhetoric like this only harms the discussion

2019-01-22 18:33:51 UTC  

Those such statements would be considered toxic masculinity should you reverse the genders and put that on a shirt out in a public forum. :/
