Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Was that libs? I really don't think it was. I think that talking about white women specifically started as an overly online politics thing - used by right wingers but also by chapoish online Leftists - or at least within the chapo circles there were those who found a home in using it, even if it didn't represent the majority of users.
I think it wasn't completely without validity - white men get a fair share of blaming (as they should), but that specificity missed out white women - a group it's fair to say has been very involved in liberal activist behaviours, 'girlboss' hustle culture, and a group that at the top is typified by Pelosi and her fangirls.
Then the rest of the internet took it and ran, and now I would be uncomfortable using it or giving it credit, because it's just become synonymous with general mysoginy. The dogwhistle is now audible to human ears.
