Either they don’t like you or they do but they’re just too busy to put in the effort. Either way you’re better off spending time with others.

DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zoneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are you a feminist? (If so why, if not why not?)1·1 month agoYeah sorry, I meant inequality is non directional. It might seem like I’m being pedantic with language. But I was unsure if you meant that men’s experience was more homogenous than women, so women experience more inequality even within their gender. Which I don’t think it’s the case. There are more male billionaires and CEOs, but also more male homelessness and suicide.
DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zoneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are you a feminist? (If so why, if not why not?)5·1 month agoThe fact that there are so many definitions of what feminism is, shows that the label is not super useful. If you say you’re a feminist, you then have to explain which version you’re taking about.
It could be anything from “people should be given equal opportunity” to the extreme “all sex between a man and a women is rape”
DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zoneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are you a feminist? (If so why, if not why not?)121·1 month agoLabels that start off as descriptive become prescriptive. People who associate strongly with a label are less likely to have nuance to their views or change their minds. It becomes us and them.
You can become a prisoner of your labels.

Yes this! Do a trial with each one and see which class she likes better. It might come down to the teacher, the other students, or any number of other factors that aren’t the style of martial art.
DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zoneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are you a feminist? (If so why, if not why not?)111·1 month agoI think women do experience more gender based adversities, but I worry framing it like that creates an “us and them” situation between genders. We should fight inequality wherever it exists.
It also misses intersectionality. Not all men are advantaged over all women. A man born in poverty, violence, with a disability, or of a marginalised race, isn’t automatically better off than a rich white women born to a good supportive family.
DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zoneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are you a feminist? (If so why, if not why not?)33·1 month agoFor each of those examples women were disadvantaged and men were advantaged. So they both experienced inequality.
DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zoneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are you a feminist? (If so why, if not why not?)389·1 month agoI don’t believe in an -ism. I believe in equal rights. I think the name feminism does more harm than good.
DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zoneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are you a feminist? (If so why, if not why not?)91·1 month agoCan you explain how women deal with more inequality than men?
I’m not ignorant. I’m making a point, you drongo.
How would one guess? Only americans are arrogant enough to assume the whole internet is american?
Why would someone post something like OP without stating what constitution it is? Do they expect only americans to read it? Maybe keep your american jokes in american specific communities.
How many Americans know the first few words of the Australian constitution? Not many. So they can’t expect me to know theirs
How am I meant to know about every other country’s constitution?
What country are they taking about if not Australia? Do other countries even have constitutions?
Incorrect. Learn a thing or two before you post online. https://www.aph.gov.au/constitution
Which constitution is this? It’s not our one.
If you ignore all the headings and contents pages, I think it’s “whereas”… So what’s your point? Whereas isn’t a pronoun.
You know, I’ve been in places with lots of nudity, and for the first day or so all you want to do is look. Then after that you stop looking and it just becomes normal. I imagine if women going topless was more common, guys would not look any more than they currently do.
