i will, maybe you will too when you understand there is no sex wars and its just 50% of the population just wanting to feel safe.
i think you might... etymologically, be able to uh classify that statement as a "sex war"
like i get what we're saying but there also kind of is, isn't there?
I hope you have a happy Wednesday regardless of your strongly held beliefs, unless one of them is wanting to have bad/unhappy Wednesdays, in which case I apologize for my transgression.
Oh my, the strongly held beliefs that everyone should be equal and feel safe around other people.
It certainly is remarkable that every time someone who Totally Isn’t Sexist and is Just Trying To Be Reasonable is on the topic of sexism, it will never take them long to go for ‘well other people are suffering more so sexism comparatively isn’t a real problem’.
PS: whatever role you think I have in “gender wars” you’re probably wrong.
Damn, I really pegged you as cavalry
Sure, im all in for that, it is part of being communist you know? But at the same time that doesnt mean i treat the problems inherent to being a woman in our society as minor problems. ;) Or are you saying that because there is homeless people and police harassment we should leave racism, sexism and other problems undiscussed? hmmmm, seems to me like you are trying to say that a big part of the earths population doesnt have the right to fight for a better life because there is people in worse conditions.
Ah so now we are on track, you really dont need to write your way around with so much bullshit, what you are saying is that women fears are imaginary to you, because they have a full belly, so all the problems they are telling you about dont exist because you, as in a singular person do not suffer them, so they must not exist because they can eat and have a home.
As you keep talking about homeless i will repeat: im all about helping homeless people, and also those in need before they get to being homeless. But that doesnt mean im blind to other people problems.
Its funny how you are able to go around so much to not say the reality: the only problem you see is what capitalism tells you, which is some people is poor, people that is not poor dont really have a reason to complain because there are others in much worse state so shut up. I guess you have the same view with unionizing and fighting for better working conditions? We are not under a freeway so we really should not complain? Lets shut up about working conditions because we have a full belly and a home so thats enough?
You need to read a bit more i think, or i missed when Marx said that the only way to fight class wars is helping homeless people (which again i support) and also i think i missed when it said that problems should be adressed from the most severe which means we need to forget about sexism and racism and low wages as long as we can "have a roof and a full belly" as you said.
I think i also missed when no one with half a brain said that it's proven we cant do both.
I really think you are so full of yourself that even lost track of what class war even means, you need to stop saying so much that you disregard womens problem because there are homeless people, maybe you should touch a bit of grass and go to communities and see what are their problems.
Ah sure, keep at it, keep saying that you are on the right side here just because you sometimes give money to homeless people. Just to close this discussion let me remember what did you say about women's problem in the span of less than an hour.
First: "Its just all sex wars"
Second: "i care about society which is why i help homeless people"
Third: "Women that have a roof and food dont have any reason to complain"
Fourth: "Women cant complain because the only just cause is class wars, and class wars is only done by helping homeless people, we can only do one thing at a time so fuck people that suffers from racism and sexism"
Fifth: "40% of homeless people are women, those are the women that need help"
You really have a weird fixation with homeless people, you know what i think? That you have a lot of self steem problems and you are happy with the way the world is because you fear losing your privileges. Hope one day you gain conscience and start really thinking of how you can really help people and the class wars instead of just giving a bit of money to a homeless once in a while just to feel full of yourself.
Most of us, who are not disempowered, are afraid of losing privilege and not doing enough because of that, or just from plain laziness. The self-esteem comment was probably on point, though. Can almost not help but feel bad for someone who hates themselves so much that they project it on women.
