People are bad at media literacy?


It’s good enough to make the point, but inaccuracies add up, so I always try to correct the ones I percieve, however small.


I disagree, because your suggestion is treating a symptom. The cause-- the structures and incentives causing the divide in the first place-- would remain, and you will never resolve all the symptoms until the cause is resolved. Trying to resolve every symptom first would result in a neverending battle.


Thanks for the advice


lemmy shitpost never fails to amaze me with how concentrated its ragebait is


This better be satire or I’m showing 1% of my power and taking my upvote back


So are we supposed to like psychically detect instances of roofieing and Instant Transmission into the middle of shady bars to punch out evil men or what?


And? Women still have to worry about this.

We can only ever work on one issue at once


The problem is that people keep saying “Not all men” in direct response to women expressing that they don’t feel safe. Same energy as telling a black person “All lives matter”.
I don’t think this is entirely accurate. The equivalent of an “all lives matter” person is a “men have issues too” person, not a “not all men” person. The first two are from people taking issue with advocacy for one group (black people; women) because they see it as exclusionary of or harmful to their group (white people; men)*. In contrast, “not all men” people are responding to a percieved attack directed at them, not just to being excluded from targeted advocacy. Subtly but meaningfully different, imo.
* Technically non-black people and non-women, I suppose? But this is the general pattern I’ve recognized.


Don’t know whether to upvote for spreading awareness of women’s issues or downvote for encouraging gender wars discourse

Possible second-tier harm here: are they sending 911 calls directly to a company? That’s gotta be illegal, no?
