I know joking around about men being 90% awful is all fun and games but this post and screenshots of it have been going around twitter a lot and i need the fine people on chapo dot chat to tell me if this is based or cringe thank you
Btw i am a guy
As a man, I don't really think it's my place to police how the oppressed class voices their anger.
This isn't a cry of an oppressed people it's some dumbshit being a dick on the internet, so as an oppressed class I give you permission to say "wtf is wrong with you" at your pleasure.
Are you saying women aren't oppressed?
If the original post isn't "the cry of an oppressed people," then the possible implications are either that women aren't oppressed or the person making the post isn't a woman. I was just trying to narrow it down.
Or option 3: not everything an oppressed person says is a an earnest cry stemming from their oppression
It's that one
Spectacular mental gymnastics lmao.
Just take the L dude.
Since a lot of the pushback I'm getting is from women, I think I will.
No, clearly not.
I don't think it's right to act as if women are immune from criticism, especially if they are doing something socially harmful like encouraging people to kill themselves. this tweet is not directed at the oppressor, if she was telling Elon Musk to kill himself that would be one thing
while women are absolutely oppressed in our patriarchal society I think it's wrong and naive to view patriarchy as a system wherein all men are oppressing all women. it's a system wherein a small number of privileged men oppress the rest of us. rhetoric like this plays right into their game
This tweet was directed at a man saying women should be subjugated Saudi Arabia style
ah well I obviously had no way of knowing that
and it's still a shit response
Right, of course the correct response would be joining a militant women's organization seeking to overthrow the patriarchy. But barring that I suppose all one can do is post...
