Different women be saying different things.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago

Yeah it's almost like they're individuals. Who'da thunk it.

[–] atro_city@fedia.io -4 points 4 months ago (4 children)

And some be saying exactly this while exposing themself like that. Did you think I was talking about all women?

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Now say "but not all men" in a man-hater post! Double standards, yay!

[–] leds@feddit.dk 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Why do you think that is exposing? What is that exposing and why do you think that is a problem?

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Why do you think that is exposing?

Because the dictionary does.

  1. to present to view; exhibit; display:

The storekeeper exposed his wares.

Next question

What is that exposing?

And some be saying exactly this while exposing themself like that.

Did you even read what I wrote? It's really not that much.

why do you think that is a problem?

Where did I say it was a problem? Quote the exact part of my response where I say it's a problem.

In my mind, it is significantly more likely that someone on the internet is a misogynist rather than them talking about the miniscule overlap between women not wanting to be objectified and women posing in manners that commonly get objectified. In the latter case, I would also expect that someone to be aware of the prevalence of misogynists and therefore distance themselves from them, so as to not be misunderstood. The downvotes you got seem to agree with me.

and "my prejudice is justified" but at the same time "not all women".

Steadfast principles, I see.

Congratulations on technically not being wrong, I guess? I was admitting that, yeah, I made certain assumptions there. At the same time, I tried to provide you feedback that your communication attempt was evidently not successful. But rather than reflecting on that, you're completely blocking that off. Rather than communicating, you're just looking to prove that I'm a dumbass and you're not. Was that first comment intentionally ambiguous, so you could prove you're technically not wrong? Is that your thought of a good time? Because fucking hell, it is not for me.

This is my unfriendly account, where I don't take the time to put breadcrumbs for people towards the path of realizing "all men are X but not all women are Y" is a double standard.

I don't think you're a dumbass. My comments were on your principles, not your intelligence.

It was not clear.
