(that literally argument for double standards was ridiculous)

what

I believe Class is referring to the discussing on women being held to a higher standard, where Class argued that women should be held to the same standard as man less it be unfair to women.

oh you mean the "discussion" where i was purposely being a foil to his own reverse chauvinism

reverse chauvinism

this phrase makes zero sense

reverse chauvinism

this phrase makes zero sense

if i had said "chauvinism" you would've construed it in a way that i didn't intend, so i add "reverse" for the sake of clarity

yes it's obvious that there's no such thing, but again, it's for the sake of clarity

"Reverse chauvinism"? Eh, I agree to the assertion that all people should be held to the same standard, regardless of race of sex.

there's a reason we use the word "reverse" in these contexts

if you wanted to convey that someone was being racist against white people, how would you put it

you could just say "racist" and you wouldn't be wrong, but that doesn't necessarily get the message across

"reverse racism" is three syllables less than "racism against white people," and it conveys the same message, and only pedants would dick around over the semantics or implications of it imo

oh I guess I never knew what this word meant until now

silly fuck

I understand that much; my point is, factors such and sex and race shouldn't be taken into account when deciding the character of a person. I think that women are wrongly held to a higher standard, while men are held to a lesser standard. We shouldn't call women "bitches" for being assertive, nor men "pussies" for deferring to others. We are all people, and we should support that which makes the most sense.

Not to say you were wrong for using "reverse" in this context, I merely didn't understand the point you were meaning to convey.

literally implies that "normal racism" can only be against black people

it actually doesn't at all

Quote

why not use the extra syllables in order to not be a bigot? Language is all about efficiency, and less syllables doesn't mean more efficient. You lose meaning and clarity.

the history around the word "racist" is such that the implications of white racism are nearly inseparable from the word itself, unless you clarify that white people are the ones being prejudiced against

this concept is difficult not

then fucking clarify it

"reverse racism" doesn't. Reverse from fucking what? Normal racism? In that case, you're saying that the opposite of "reverse racism" (racism against whites) is "normal racism" (racism against blacks)

use the extra fucking syllable and say "racism against whites"

I think that women are wrongly held to a higher standard, while men are held to a lesser standard.

what standard are we talking about again

then fucking clarify it

"reverse racism" doesn't.

yes it does

Reverse from fucking what?

the conventionally understood definition of racism which has come about from the historical mistreatment of minority races by white people

not just black people, but asians and native americans and everyone else

when people hear racist, they think of that

it's not my fault

Verb is it true that you still use a CRT for gaming? If so post pics please

too much effort for something that's not really all that interesting tbh

but yes, i use it to play pre-HDMI era games, because HD TVs suck a fat cock at displaying old games

which is why it's SUCH A FUCKING JOKE when people try to argue that new technology is objectively superior, fuck you

what's your favorite form of discrimination

racial

jk

tfw a thread about yourself has devolved into a thread about the semantics of discrimination

would you rather become a militant vegan or a third wave feminist

this question has a right and wrong answer

would you rather become a militant vegan or a third wave feminist

Militant vegan

At least I would be arguing a worthwhile cause. Second wave feminism a best feminism
