Do communites based on specific sociocultural groups not meant for general Lemmings have the right to set rules amongst themselves?
I want to pose the idea that there are forums better suited for discussion/debate on the philosophy of gender and its adjacent politics that are not c/transfem.
Kamala is irrelevant and quite weird. And why does everyone who lost an election feel the need to write a book now?
I would love to see less America doom and gloom on lemmy. Why should we be the center of everything? More European- and Canada-centric posts, please.
I mean, looking on the bright side: Even the Federation universe had to go through two civil wars, World War III, and the eugenics war to get to where they ended up.
Active listening and being a good communicator. After a lot of negative experiences, if I ever start noticing any of the "Four Horsemen" in an early stage of dating and they don't see the problem, I've learned it's best to just end things before you're stuck in either an abusive relationship or one where you're always viciously fighting. After the honeymoon phase ends, sometimes someone gets tired and respond poorly to things, which isn't perfect but no relationship is perfect, but I think being consistently berated or stonewalled in a long-term relationship is a relationsip-ending red flag too.
My partner and I, after three years at least, communicate really effectively, I feel, where we start from a point of working together to solve a problem, and it's such a breath of fresh air.
This was disappointing to read. This post was talking about a specific type of person that was not you, it was not about "how all older white men are the enemy," and you took it personally. When someone gently told you that you weren't being targeted, you doubled down and got even more defensive.
I want to attempt to reassure you again that we're talking about a very specific situation that was never stated to be all men.
I don't understand how your feelings are hurt by a post that had nothing at all to do with you. Judging from your comment, you were never one of the bad ones this post was calling out. It'll be okay. And there may be other situations where it makes sense to talk about blanket distrust of men that might make life harder for genuinely good guys, though it's not relevant in this post specifically.
I wish we could have one post in a woman-centric community sharing difficult situations without one of the good men lashing out because they felt personally attacked.
As a bi woman, absolutely. I'm personally one who doesn't like falling behind on my shaving routine, but hair looks wonderful on anyone who chooses to grow it out. I may or may not have a weakness for crunchy granola girls myself. 😳
This will be me someday. 😁
Yesterday, at my job as a reporter. Some men, even though I tell them how the interview/quoting process works, will just assume I'm stupid for asking "groundwork" questions without realizing I'm doing that to get quotes, which I need in his words, not mine.
I should also say my job is borderline public relations work, so I wasn't asking probing, hardball gotcha questions either. The articles are essentially free advertising for companies.
Sometimes, they'll get that I understand what I'm asking about as the interview progresses, but this man continued to give me condescending, non-sentence answers while repeatedly questioning my knowledge on the subject. Which will just make it harder to grab good quotes when I write the article, because they all come with spice. I never have these problems when I interview women.
I firmly believe there are ways of being a centrist without being a Nazi. Hell, I believe you can be a pre-Trump-era Republican without being a Nazi. But there are also fascists who self-identify in these factions, and they benefit from the smokescreen of the "Everyone I don't like is a Nazi" fallacy of argument. There is nuance. I can't help but feel that you're projecting.
Ethnic cleansing and its supporters are definitionally fascists though, and I don't believe organizations should support those people. And David Heinemeier Hansson, like the Nazis, is a fascist. And I find it suspect and disturbing that people are referring to that as purity-testing.
