Heard he was chillin in argentina or something with tupac

They are also killing politicians of course but this is generally a net good

I only meant to say that it is quite normal for private interprises to dabble in military application

Aint we got tea companies that make war machines here?

You can blame the abusor and want a society that would not create them

I didn’t have any specific bullies in highschool but my elementary and middle school bully just dropped out of college because he couldn’t manage his grades and be a stoner. Fuckin loser, I smoke almost daily and I’m doin fine. Smh

Not really but I do know my audience and I will alter the presentation of information

Bias exists in all media, we must simply consume media critically with the relevant biases in mind

He’s not pro-china or pro-russia lmao? He’s pro-money and pro-power

I never said it was ok and I never denied their agency

I don’t understand why it cannot be both? Yeah these people are responsible for their actions and should be confronted on it on an individual basis but their actions are also influenced by the society in which they live. We need to confront and discuss that too.

I never advocated for a matriarchy. People will continue to be shitty to eachother but the deconstruction of gender based discrimination and violence would benefit us all. In order to do that we must recognize that what holds us back from this is patriarchy.

Understandable

I am advocating for shoplifting but the only thing I ever stole was a small packet of seeds from home depot when I was 7

Incedible how unserious you are

Please read the rest of my comments

I am a man, I have been hurt by women who would not have done so if the society in which they live did not deem it normal and ok. While these women are responsible for their actions and should do better, they would not have acted this way if patriarchal society didn’t deem men to be lacking in emotion or “emotionally strong”.

Yeah this comment section has not brought me hope. I’ll admit that this may not have been the best place and time for this conversation but it needs to be spoken of, especially to the people who want to hear it least. I need these people to understand that societal issues cannot be solved at an individual level. You cannot simply be angry at a woman for being cold and heartless. This helps no one. The people who perpetuate patriarchal society won’t stop doing it because we get mad at them. They must be confronted about their behavior first and foremost with an understanding of the material conditions that drive them.

Yes, the perpetrators of patriarchy are responsible for its continuity but they do not realize this. They do not recognize the very existence of a patriarchy and this is why the world struggles to fight it. Often the biggest perpetuators of patriarchy are the most harmed by it and they don’t even know. They are as much victims as they are villains. How can we call them responsible on an individual level when patriarchy is the only thing they have ever known?

I never claimed it wasn’t. Shitty people are going to be shitty but they feel comfortable being shitty in the way that they are, in public, because the patriarchy has made that normal. I never excused her behavior, I identified it as being connected to a much broader sociological issue.

Idk why you thought I was doing any of that. What I meant was this woman feels that it is normal or okay to act in the way that she is because the patriarchal society in which we live makes that normal. It is not an excuse, it is an explanation and identification of a much broader issue.

Always remember that the patriarchy harms everyone
