I really like this article!
Secondly, unitary theory redefined the terms of gender oppression in a way that places the ultimate blame on the bourgeoisie (a group that I, in my entry-level research job, definitely do not belong to, with none of the grey area associated with my maleness). I now understand the ways in which working-class men benefit from oppressing women as analogous to the ways in which scabs benefit from strikebreaking. The gains are undoubtedly real on an individual level but are not representative of workers’ ultimate class interest in either scenario. This allows for meaningful solidarity across gender lines.
So if we went further into this analogy trans men cross the picket line and then begin to
scabsAlso fuck yourself doubly for being a cis shit that tries to have an opinion about trans issues AND COMPLETELY IGNORES ANYTHING TRANS REALTED ABOUT THEM, i'll file another report of your shitty post. We never should have federated with your shitty instance full of wehrmacht apologists, fuck you.
Oh come the fuck on. Just shupt up, dude. "Not all men" is just a generally shitty response that shifts conversations about toxic masculinity, SA etc. away from those affected. It centers men in a conversation about issues that disproportionately harm women and nonbinary people. It is the telltale sign of men refusing to take responsibility for their own participation in coercive patriarchal structures, a horribly dumb behavior as patriarchy is provably harmful to men. Yet you folks can't stop defending it and downplaying your complicity in it.
Notably, this is a thread about transmasculinity and the difficulties of having masculinity as a transition goal in a culture that has deeply contaminated masculinity to create oppressive structures and you dipshit barge in here to NOT ALL MEN this. You walk into a trans space and turn it into a platform for liberal antifeminism. Fuck you, you disgusting debate pervert, crawl back to reddit you stupid shit.
That’s kind of silly to stop halfway and say that, the second half is far better at showing the author’s views. You’re not required to read the rest, but in this case it’s extremely silly to judge with only that information.
I really enjoyed reading this. Getting rid of black and white thinking about my own gender is something I need more work on. And I think the part about leaning on a binary view of victimhood requiring an identification with the victimized identity to be very poignant.
