People's safety is more important than people's feelings.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 4 points 5 months ago

Indeed. It strikes me as pointlessly gendered. All people, safety is more important than feelings.

[-] Kolrami@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

If this weren't gendered I'm not sure I would connect that this was posted as result of people's reaction to the bears vs men thing.

~~you know what else is pointlessly gendered? the patriarchy~~

feminist messaging has to be gendered because the patriarchy is a gender issue.

that said, feminism is for everybody. liberating women from oppressive structures by nature does the same for men.

If it’s not gendered and is for everybody, that isn’t that just the original statement? That safety is for everybody? That seems rather circular.

But I think I get what you’re saying. We focus on lifting up women, and everyone benefits.

The whole thing was meant to be rage bait.

or it's purposefully gendered in response to the man vs bear thing

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 0 points 5 months ago

Which is also rage bait

Even then it's contradictory. Men wouldn't be upset about being chosen over a bear and women wouldn't be safe if the bear was chosen, so in that specific context it's nonsensical.

[-] Custodian1623@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Most bears don't seek out and attack women, but many men do. One of those happens far more often than the other, and you're either uninformed or willfully ignorant about that fact.

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 1 points 5 months ago

Yet another exhibit of people not knowing anything about bears. If bears and women had anywhere near the same amount of interactions as men and women, maulings would be up by a percentage with an alarming number of zeroes. This is like the literal equivalent to the Face Eating Leopard Party supporters being surprised that the Leopards are eating their faces.

Physical safety or psychological safety?

[-] SmilingSolaris@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Are you really all lives mattering this post rn? God damn dude. I hope every person in your life belittles every problem you personally have by telling you that tons of people have that problem.

[-] mydude@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

BLM, no sarcasm.

That gives me feelings of "All lives matter" which minimized the issues of black people. Can you explain why this is different?

[-] Doof@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Except one has built in meaning and the other is a simple meme made by one person with an oversimplified idea used likely to stir up people considering all the discussions happening about bears or whatever.

[-] mydude@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago

BLM, no sarcasm.

[-] Woozythebear@lemmy.world -2 points 5 months ago

It's not, this tread is filled with Incels.

[-] Allero@lemmy.today 0 points 5 months ago

Some people seriously can't hold any conversation about sexism without introducing the word "incel" for the sake of it.

I wonder, can that be cured?

[-] Woozythebear@lemmy.world -2 points 5 months ago
[-] Acinonyx@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 5 months ago

alright that's enough for today

[-] TheTetrapod@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago
[-] GiantChickDicks@lemmy.ml -1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

And all lives matter, right? How else can we commandeer this conversation?

[-] mydude@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago
