Hmmm.SpectacularWebHead said:I have a simple solution to get rid of sexism.
No-one talk about it.
No-one look at anyone in any different way.
Get rid of chivalry and the assumption women can't do anything for themselves.
Get rid of the principle that because you have a cock you can't do housework.
Stop using the term Girl-Gamers, because they are exactly the same as you.
Stop holding the belief that there are Female only insults. Any insult can apply to anyone.
AND FOR FUCKS SAKE STOP MAKING THESE FUCKING THREADS!
Equalism bitches, peace out.
"No one talk about it" Doesn't fix the problem, just means that nobody talks about the problem. For hundreds of years, noone/very few people talked about the problems of sexism or racism. They remained.
"No-one look at anyone in a different way" We all automatically look at people in different ways based upon our varied cultures and whatnot. The reason behind the conversations is to try and make this second thing happen at some point.
"Get rid of chivalry and the thought that women cannot do things for themselves". Interesting point. Been listening to a few documentaries about the advent of masculinity, making such a blanket statement is inherrently flawed. However, I can see your point, it is essentially "Treat people equally" which, again, is kinda the overall aim. So yes, if we were all treated equally, sexism would disappear. But that requires the stage one, the conversations (Are you seeing a recurring theme yet?)
"Get rid of the principle that because you have a cock you cannot do housework". Huh. Well, that is a cultural/societal norm. Or at least was. To be honest, I have not met a dude that still thinks that he "Shouldn't" do housework in quite a while. Outside of the Arab world at least. This is rather the same point as above.
"Stop using the term girl-gamers, because they are exactly the same as you" Well, bar the fact that they are girls. In some cases, anyway. Explaining why we qualify the statement with "Girl" would take a while and is not something I can really be bothered to do this morning. I agree though, I think we should try and drop the term. But we cannot do that until we break down more of the gender norms, which, again, is kinda the point behind talking about this stuff.
"Stop holding the belief that there are Female only insults. Any insult can apply to anyone." Ah. Well, Context. There are lots of insults which are aimed purely towards women in general. So there are insults which are gendered. Much like there are insults which are racist and do not apply to all people. Anyone who has ever studied linquistics, either for pleasure or professionally, will point out that the "Belief" that some insults are female only is not a belief, it is a fact. Sorry. Some insults are female only and only really apply to women.
"AND FOR FUCKS SAKE STOP MAKING THESE FUCKING THREADS!" Unless this entire thread is self-aware irony, well, it shows your lack of forethought. You just added to the weight of threads. Worse though, you have brought nothing to the table whatsoever. Just expressed your wish we all shut up about it, combined with basic shit which is usually discussed within the threads and a linguistic fallacy.
Ah! The entire thread was a joke! Or perhaps that is your new defence mechanism.SpectacularWebHead said:No-one noticed my irony....
No-one at all....
Either you people aren't that bright or I didn't spell it out enough....
Oh, By the way, an ellipsis commonly uses three stops. Not four.
