Why do we need competitiveness among minorities when they’re already at a disadvantage? The competitiveness should be equal between minorities and majorities, otherwise it’s not a meritocracy, it’s just oppression.
Edit to add: the disadvantage I’m referring to is bigoted hiring practices that are well documented, and a history of oppression.
Because crimes should be handled in a criminal court case with real consequences, not a civil case. But that’s not likely to happen.
So if someone did sue them, and against all odds they won, and the money they received somehow properly compensated for their loss (i.e. a loved ones preventable death), then the company that extracts billions of dollars from Americans every year would lose a couple million. The company would be unaffected and have no meaningful consequences for their willfully unethical behavior. We’d have to have thousands of successful lawsuits to have meaningful consequences.
That’s not implied by their logic at all. Not every person is in a position of power like this CEO was, the majority of people don’t have a job that denies people necessary healthcare, and many people will not make the choice to be unethical like this CEO chose.
I understand, and disagree with, the argument that vigilante justice is completely uncalled for but you’re not doing your argument justice here
In the comic she isn’t picking a fight, she is confiding in a friend her frustration that sometimes men can have fragile egos. That doesn’t mean men are the root of all problems. The comic is saying that often criticism, no matter how small or in what context, can be met with an overblown reaction that derails any potential conversation and spirals into name calling and whataboutism.
It would be sexist to say men are the root of every problem, but I’m not seeing anyone claim that. Not in the comic, not in these comments, not in real life, really only in certain toxic Internet spaces. A woman pointing out a common problem they experience with men ideally would be met with self reflection, not deflection. It is not a lack of empathy from women, it is women not understanding why men struggle to identify an issue that seems so clear to women. And men not understanding why women would make a generalized statement that seems to criticize individual men.
But women are often talking about a systemic issue with men, not trying to personally insult individuals. And the deflection and insults that they often receive just furthers the frustration between sexes. You’re saying that the issue would be prevented if women didn’t say things that have negative messaging. I firmly believe that would make the issue worse, as the first step to fixing an issue is identifying it and facing it head on.
Men often have fragile egos. That does not make men evil. It is barely even an issue unless an individual man lets it define his actions. If a criticism from a woman doesn’t seem true to you personally, congrats! You have self reflected and don’t have to worry about it because she’s not talking about you.
If it helps, I have empathy for you. I’m pretty sure I’m not cis so I don’t call myself a man anymore lol but I had the same feelings as you do until a couple years after I met my wife. We had long talks and disagreements about the divide between men and women that form from miscommunication and misunderstanding. And I expressed frustration at the criticisms women often have of men. And she explained that it’s not meant to insult, just vent from personal experience. That it’s not a way to make men feel bad, not malicious or looking down on men. It’s just an attempt to communicate an issue they see. And after a while I started to see how true that is. And then I realized I might not be a dude so it kinda was a waste of time lmao
Sorry about the wall of text, tl:dr when a woman is critical it’s meant to express a frustration and communicate an issue, not insult or put down every individual man. If you’re a man and hear criticism, it’s not likely applicable to you. But it helps to self reflect and have empathy
If nobody talked about it, how do you know it was normal behavior?
Care to elaborate on LGBT “psychos” politicizing kids? Are you referring to right wing bigots falsely calling anyone gay is a pedo? Or falsely claiming drag shows are grooming?
The rest of your comment is blatantly wrong and easy to fact check so I assume you’re just here to spread pro Israel propaganda??
