Why are men held to such low standards?


You're very comparative.

White vs black, rich vs poor, men vs women.

Why is that?

Why? So you can prove Trump’s many felony convictions are diffe(R)ent?


Again- let's prove you are stupid, ignorant and probably a liar

Has there actually been a conviction ?

Be careful because that includes sentencing and appeals not just a jury verdict of guilty

Because her little pea brain sees the world in black and white. There's no substance to her. Easily swayed. Emotional.

It seems that every time I ask someone what are examples of systemic issues, I get a myriad of examples that we all deal with. Not saying they do not exist. Just saying that we all deal with them.



That's the thing about systemic issues - they affect everyone. Everyone who has to interact with the systems. Some people are necessitated to interact with them more through either happenstance, circumstance or as consequences of their own behavior. I presume most of us have personal vehicles, so we aren't impacted by the abysmal public transportation available in most places nationwide. That doesn't make that systemic issue more bearable for the people who do have to rely on public transit to move around. If you own a car, bad public transit is an inconvenience. If you don’t, it can determine whether you can work, get medical help, or comply with the conditions of probation.

American society decided just over 100 years ago that we wanted houses with picket fences and suburbs and everything like that.



The automotive industrial complex decided that Americans should be forced to rely on private vehicle ownership to get around. "Automotive industrial complex" is tongue in cheek, but the auto lobby played a big part in the divestment in and actual dismantling of public transportation nationwide. Federal highway funding massively outpaced transit funding. Cities were designed around cars instead of people. Private industry benefited from these factors and lobbied accordingly.

All you have to do to legitimize thst point is tell us what crime they proved Trump was trying to conceal by falsifying business records.

Why do I point out patterns I observe? Or why do I notice patterns?

Pattern recognition is considered a foundational component and key indicator of intelligence, coincidentally.

The 'systemic issue' with public transportation is the riders themselves, not the transportation system.

I feel that is pretty much endemic for all "systemic issues". The reality is that the people suck, not the system so much.

You're right.

Now, tell us what makes available public transportation abysmal? Is it routes? Bus times? Something else? Like, harassment, crime, anti-social behaviors?

PubTrans is unappealing because of a subset of the ridership, however, if we dealt with that through punishing crime, banning antisocial behavior perpetrators, etc... a lot of people would raise hell about that too because "racism".

Segregation doesn't sound that bad these days. Until the culture changes, nothing changes.

Yeah, which of these individuals suffered more from the "systemic issues" of the American public transportation system?

If you understood that, you'd be better equipped to discuss the issues in the community you serve rather than evoke Trump and pontificate on "privilege".

Seriously, if you ever shed those victim/oppressor lenses- you'll be much improved in actually recognizing patterns rather than creating patterns where there are none to fit your systemic oppression worldview.

Are you denying that women and men are held to different standards? Are you claiming that every human is treated identically?

Seems like you're annoyed that I'm pointing out issues that make you uncomfortable or that you can't easily explain away.
