@crusaderanim @StardustBunney Keeping under the character limit forced me to cut some details, to elaborate - Intersectionality looks at particular demographics (race, gender, etc.) and specifically links them to privilege. To me, this framework inherently enables discrimination based on these characteristics

@jazwidz @StardustBunney I’m not positive I’m understanding what you’re saying, but intersectionality is no more than an acknowledgement of the fact that no trait exists in a vacuum. You’re never just black, or male, you can be black, AND male, and that comes with its own systemic issues and advantages.

The "who set that system up" argument just shows that you've lost. Looking at a literal teenager and saying he deserves to be suicidal and working in the mines because men hundreds of years ago set up a flawed system really isn't the own you think it is.

@crusaderanim @StardustBunney I don't see this as an argument so much as a discussion. We clearly disagree on certain points, but can acknowledge that discrimination is bad and needs to addressed. To me, intersectionality is just a modern spin on discrimination. It's "discrimination for the right reasons".

@jazwidz @StardustBunney So, what are we even arguing about? If we can both acknowledge that systems are a lot more complex than laws on paper, and these systems create real disadvantages, and that the underprivileged deserve the resources and help to combat the bias… what are we arguing about?

@crusaderanim @StardustBunney Most proponents of intersectionality champion affirmative action, which I see as nothing more than a modern-day rebranding of discrimination. 2/2

@crusaderanim @StardustBunney Is the question whether racism exists or if puts certain people at a disadvantage? Yes it exists, but it's detrimental to both parties involved. Where we differ is in our proposed solutions. I propose we reprimand wrongdoers and provide resources to the underprivileged. 1/2

@crusaderanim @StardustBunney Individuals can discriminate, but it's illegal and fundamentally puts them at a disadvantage in a society where value is derived from competition. If you pare down your hiring pool and network with discrimination, you shoot yourself in the foot.

@jazwidz @StardustBunney So racism doesn’t exist today, and there’s absolutely 0 chance that employers still discriminate based on skin colour because, legally, they’re not allowed to? 🤔. Huh, I didn’t realise it was that straightforward. Thank you for solving the systemic issues!

@crusaderanim @StardustBunney A system that no longer exists. Furthermore - what is that goal? Judging people on the contents of their character, not their skin color, sex or other irrelevant characteristics.

@jazwidz @StardustBunney Is this irony??? He’s stating a goal… he’s quite literally acknowledging the racism in the system and saying we should work towards erasing that.

@crusaderanim @StardustBunney Which is why we have anti-discrimination laws. Individuals engaging in discriminatory practices should be brought to justice, this isn't a systemic issue. In reality, a grassroots campaign benefiting underprivileged individuals is the answer - forget about demographics.

@jazwidz @StardustBunney If “no discriminatory laws” meant no discrimination, then racism wouldn’t exist today. Clearly, systems can operate through other means than written rules.

@crusaderanim @StardustBunney Fair enough, I didn't realize you were referencing an expanded definition of systemic. The point stands - there are zero institutional discriminatory practices in effect in the West, at least legally-speaking.

@jazwidz @StardustBunney So a trap question, essentially? You’ve re-defined “system” to: totally overt, codified discrimination, which isn’t how “systems” work. Discrimination often shows up in patterns, and institutionalised behaviour. This was a poor attempt.

@crusaderanim @StardustBunney People are privileged - one's sex does not automatically grant them privilege. Any mid-class woman born in the West is infinitely more privileged than a man born into poverty in a 3rd-world country. Intersectionality is a flawed framework - people should be viewed as individuals.

@jazwidz @StardustBunney That’s great and all, but it doesn’t make his reply any more sensible. Once again, men are objectively privileged in many areas, as are white folk, so “well no I’m not privileged because a lot of other men commit suicide”. How does that make sense?

@crusaderanim @StardustBunney Please elaborate on the current "systemic advantages" men have over women in the West. Not outcome-based conjecture - what are the specific sexist systems in place that put women at a disadvantage? If you can name any, I will gladly commit myself to abolishing them.

@jazwidz @StardustBunney Pointing out that men face challenges does not disprove that men can also have systemic advantages. Not mutually exclusive ideas. She did not say "you are privileged because you are a man, and therefore men face no struggles".

@crusaderanim @StardustBunney He didn't write an essay on the topic, it was only a retort. Everyone has privileges, but dismissing someone based on sex is discriminatory and regressive. He just pointed out that the male experience can't simply be distilled down to "privilege".

@jazwidz @StardustBunney Well, then he's doing an awful job of it? Men do have privileges, so if his argument against that is "well, OTHER men are committing suicide"... how does that mean he, let alone men as a whole, are not privilege? His reply is total nonsense, and irrelevant to the argument.

@crusaderanim @StardustBunney He's not complaining about those jobs or statistics, he's pointing out that there are expectations and challenges men face as well as women. This was in response to her statement that he is privileged by virtue of being a man.

@jazwidz @StardustBunney And I don't disagree with that? But I'll also what you expect women to do about the systems men JUST like him are still upholding to this day? He's a conservative. He still believes in gender norms, and that is an active contributing factor to those same jobs he's whining about.

@crusaderanim @StardustBunney I would posit that he's pointing out the flaw in her argument, not that he's opposed to gender norms. He seems perfectly okay with the discrepancies in expectations of men and women because he sees legitimate reason for them.

@jazwidz @StardustBunney Like, he believes in the conservative ideology, he still believes that there are "gender norms", i.e. men should be doing this, women shouldn't. But then he's sitting there whining about "ugh, but men have to do all the dangerous shit!", which is upheld by his own beliefs.

@crusaderanim @StardustBunney While it's true that women were pivotal in the women's rights movement (as well they should be), men have absolutely stood up and championed women's rights from the start. Not all men of course, but many.

@StardustBunney I agree with your tweet for the most part, but I think her message more resonates with the fact that it's always been WOMEN that have to fight for WOMEN. Meanwhile, men are out here complaining about systems that THEY have contributed to.

@StardustBunney It's a self-defeating argument. Responding "who set that system up?" when someone challenges your conjecture on male privilege indicates that you acknowledge that men are also victims of inequality in modern society. If you want to champion equality, do it universally.

@ApexImperialist You're mistaking human rights with parental duties. Parents have an obligation to their children, children do not have a "human right" to the care and labor of their parents.

Boomer here. I bought my first house after ten years of saving like crazy. And the interest was 14.5%. I don’t know where kids got the idea that they were due a house and new car at college graduation, but that’s NOT how it ever was.
heretical lakeloon@loonlake55

Too many young people are resenting Boomers, claiming that Boomers had it " easy " financially in their youth. Here are a few fun facts about growing up Boomer. 1. Almost everyone grew up with one bathroom. Mom, Dad and all 3-6 siblings. 2. If you did get to take a vacation, you drove. With no air conditioning. No cup holders. No iPads. Just black vinyl seats and bologna sandwiches. 3. There were no club sports. No Parks and Rec activities. Summer camp was for rich kids. Get yourself a bike, a stick and a few friends. If you were bored, you laid in the grass and looked at clouds. 4. You ate what was served. Even if it was chicken livers. No DoorDash, no backup Totino's rolls. 5. No AP classes, no PSEO, no "fun" elective. They assigned you to a class. You went. You did what they asked. Or else. 6. Unless you had rich parents, you had a nice VFW wedding. Maybe rent a room at a modest hotel. 7. Most Boomers got their first pedi and mani in their 50s (when their feet got farther away). We didn't even know people got massages in real life, only in Hollywood. 8. You packed your own lunch for decades. 9. No one knew what red light therapy was, a facial, a spa day, or a cold plunge. Your gym was the YMCA. Usually in a rather old building. 10. We grew up with 18 percent inflation, 14 percent mortgage rates, 3 million continuing unemployment claims, and 200 other applicants competing for the same job. Now, this is not to say Millenials and Gen Z have it easy or don't face problems. It's just to say, nobody has it easy or doesn't face problems. My only hope, as my mom would say, is I live long enough to see my kids' kids complain about how easy they had it!
