Uh, no.
Meyer6, I need to thank you for setting me straight. Without the color and underlining, I might not have been able to see this as the wisdom it actually is.
I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that you’re factating–as only women can!
I don’t think it’s possible to read his post any less coherently than you did.
He said:
Notice the and/or. That leaves space for men who have lost their genitals through trauma, or even men who were born without them.
No problem. Us enlightened people have to help the little people as much as we can.
Careful there, bro. That sounds dangerously close to a goal, and you know how being goal-oriented burns us out. Goals are bad, y’hear ?
My God, so it does! Has it occurred to you that I’m treating this video and/or thread with the seriousness it deserves i.e. not a lot.
I think this post most succinctly addresses what is wrong with this video. If Stoid doesn’t see merit in this argument then theres really nothing more to discuss.
Yeah, I think the “and/or” could get contentious given that we have had folks in full possession of male genitals categorically deny their manhood hereabouts. But then this is the Dope, where an assertion that water is wet is generally met with “Cite!?”.
Bro? :mad: Do you not recognize my womynly godliness? You’re just one of those closed-minded non-conscious oppressors, aren’t you?
Oh shi- ! Better get my worship on, then… waitaminute ! You can’t be *real *wymynfolk, you were being goal-oriented !! Don’t you know you can’t do that ? That’s unconscious masculine turf.
I don’t even know what this means. If you are talking about transgendered individuals, then I think LHoD’s statement covers them as well, as it should. If you aren’t… I really don’t know what you mean.
To paraphrase Jim Belushi, from Saturday Night Live:
"I say, we let women into the army! We create a whole division made up of nothing but women, and send them into battle first! Then, when they lose, we can tell the enemy, ‘Big deal – you beat a bunch of girls.’
But if they WIN …"
“Comparable” not meaning who did “more” wrong, it’s a question of individual vs. collective. Private vs. institutionalized. Personal vs. Powerful.
In other words, individuals wrong each other in every imaginable way, no matter what their sex. But in addition to the simple wrongs perpetrated by individual men against individual women, there have always been and continue to be wrongs perpetrated against women which are collectively created or agreed upon by power structures controlled and defined by males. That is a very different thing.
If there is any kind of power structure controlled by women that is consistently perpetrating, supporting, or otherwise assisting wrongs perpetrated against males, then it’s comparable and an apology offered by women on behalf of the power structure controlled by the group they are a part of would be appropriate.
In other words, Jane the Black Widow who kills three husbands is acting entirely as an individual without any support, assistance, or agreement from a larger group to which she belongs that has power over the situation.
Jane the Adulturous Wife who cheats on her husband and is stoned to death in the public square by her community is being wronged by the culture and society she is a part of, which is run by men who collectively agree that it’s okay to stone women to death for cheating on their husbands.
So while some people agree that there is legitimacy in men apologizing for the actions and agreements of the group to which they belong, I don’t think anyone believes that it’s meaningful or appropriate for anyone other than Jane The Black Widow herseslf to apologize (and serve time for!) her actions.
So in asking for “comps” heheh, I was asking for examples of a female collective power structure perpetrating harm on males. I can’t think of any. Doesn’t mean they don’t exist, I just don’t know what they are if they do.
Hope that helps.
Oh, joy, someone made a thread for this video.
I think it’s disgustingly patronizing, and it’s *hilarious *the extent to which the men who made it are completely oblivious to how offensive it is to any woman with a brain.
Do you really think they care? They have enough people fawning all over them while being patronizing, condescending, and sexist. Why change what’s working?
On one hand, I tend to doubt that men like that have many women fawning over them. But on the other, your user name clearly identifies you as some type of goddess or another, and that means I’m supposed to defer to you on relationship matters. Except, as a womyn, you’re not very good at logic or goal-directed action, and as such I doubt you can figure out why people would or would not change their behavior.
Truly, it is a riddle wrapped inside an enigma and baked into a cake.
Mmm, cake.
(And the OP is ostensibly a woman and she’s “amazed” by them, so yeah.)
Mmm, cake!
Margaret Thatcher would have no use for any of these men, except to send them to the Falklands as cannon fodder.
Literally, from what little I was able to watch before shutting it off, that was one of the most stupid things I’ve seen on the internet.
I’m gonna send OP’s link to the Satellite of Love.
