Under what economic system have women ever done better? This ought to be good.

You need to spend more time offline. If you think social media is a reflection of reality, please spend more time in reality. I don’t spend much time on popular social media because it’s so obviously fake and toxic. I truly do not understand why anyone would choose to seek out and consume the kind of content that is often posted here from Xitter.

Social media trends reflect societal trends? Like what? 6-7?

Are you asking this question to deny that capitalism has harmed women (and children and men)?

Dude, do you not get the game?

Cubbs is a graduate student of some sort. If you are in graduate school in 2025, you don't read anything that is not collectivist, intersectional, Marxist, feminist, and anti-colonialism.

They could take a prompt like, "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" and the answer would involve systemic oppression of one group or another.

I'm asking because I want to know the answer (according to you).

Remember the old saying, "Capitalism is the worst system in existence. Except for all the others."

I want to know if there is an alternative you think is better for women or if you were just making noise because saying something anti-capitalistic sounds good in a grad student kind of culture.

If you agree with the old saying above, it's kind of a meaningless thing to say. You might as well say something like, "A lot of women's issues stem from the fact that women are by nature weaker and smaller than men." That's also true, but no one can improve on it, so...

Plus, it's also true that capitalism causes a lot of men's issues. But IMO, no one can improve on it, so it's kind of just a fact of life.

I also want to know if you are confusing capitalism with materialism.

If you can't comprehend what someone has actually posted instead of what you wish they had posted, you need to not comment on it. I didn't say it reflected reality. I said it reflected societal trends (which I know you know, since you quoted it below).

I don't know what that means.

But you've already answered the question for yourself. Fake and toxic, I believe you said. That's a societal trend.

I've always pegged her for a pseudo-activist or wannabe.

That's pretty much a grad student these days, isn't it?

If we're talking about anything in liberal arts, anyway.

So DONT believe all women? Which is it?

I believe that she may have washed her hands next to a man pretending to be a woman in a public bathroom and I’m sorry that experience was traumatic for her.

I too have washed my hands next to a man pretending to be a woman in a public bathroom but I wasn’t traumatized by the experience. I didn’t mean to discount the discomfort she must have felt having to be in the same room as a man pretending to be a woman after peeing. I believe her that she is very upset by that experience.

I lost my virginity to rape when I was at LSU 20 years ago. I didn’t tell anyone but my roommate at the time for a lot of reasons, but primarily because I thought i would just get blamed for putting myself in a position for something like that to happen. Twenty years later, women who are sexually assaulted are still blamed while women who stand in the same public bathroom as a trans person are celebrated and coddled. It’s bonkers to me.

ETA: that experience is partially why I have such a visceral reaction to the objectification of women.

More propaganda programming. They demand you regurgitate, you obey every command.

Please, inform us of the system that has done better than capitalism.

And good job ignoring all the other posts. Same as any other thread of yours.

I mean, I work full-time, am active in my Roman Catholic Church community, volunteer with multiple groups, am raising 3 kids including a one year old with my husband… And yes, I’m also pursuing a PhD. Not exactly your typical “grad student” hanging around campus all day. I haven’t even been to campus in months.

Glassman mentioned in another thread you only post while you’re pooping?

I’m not the type to start gossip, so I figured I’d ask and hear it straight from the horse’s mouth.

You’ve share enough that I know some things but they aren’t exactly things that are applauded (by the men) here so I don’t care to bring them up.

I gain nothing from attempting to put down anyone on this website.

shite like this is why I usually ignore you. Needlessly hostile and condescending.

And don’t lecture me about sOcIeTaL TrEnDs and then ask me what 6-7 is. You really do act just like my 72 year old mother.

That is a straight up lie as to what they were exposed to. A straight up lie.

Absolutely hilarious you begin the topic with:
quote:

, but since women/girls are generally ignored, we only hear about men and boys "in crisis."


And then you then ignore these girl’s claims and try to downplay it simply as “she may have washed her hands next to him”.

You have successfully shredded your own credibility again to defend a trash propaganda piece written to direct you to emotionally react on command. And you fell for it yet again.

quote:

Oh… you must have missed the post where I asked where your propaganda piece ever covered the revelation of Biden sexually assaulting his own preteen daughter… that traumatized her per her diary that was confirmed… and also confirmed by her as well.

What about the girl who said she was uncomfortable with his touching during the swearing in of congressmen?

How is Bill Clinton escaping all criticism of his close friendship with Epstein to the point Epstein had a painting commissioned with Clinton in a chair wearing a blue dress? Essentially mocking Monica Lewinsky and shared as a joke between Epstein and Clinton??

Where was your propaganda then?

Yeah, I know. You've revealed that information before.

I wasn't trying to impress anyone with psychic abilities.

Yeah, I know all of that too. You've also revealed that as well.

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything, though. I wasn't basing my opinion on your lifestyle, I was basing it on my experience with higher education. I know what material you are required to read and how much the experience influences your worldview. Whether you are reading your required Marxist literature at home late at night after everyone else has gone to bed or hanging out in the dorm room reading it between bong tokes doesn't make any difference to what I was saying.

To advance and succeed in academia (again, if we're talking about liberal arts), you either have to really see the world through the lens of the "isms" (Marxism, feminism, etc.) or you have at least be able to fake it.

This is true at just about every school in the country.
