some injustices are structural

I’m sure you do :)

That being said, by choosing not to break gender norms, are you not helping reinforce what an idea of female is?

(OK, maybe I’m going round in circles here)

Anyway, you have a lovely day :)

but isn’t the difference in one case free gender expression, whereas the other is (e.g. for trans male to female): I think I’m a woman and to show this I’m going to specifically dress in the ‘stereotypically womanliest’ way possible?

or, more generally, people shouldn’t be using gender as the reason to dress and act the way they want to. else they’re affirming that a certain gender means a certain form of acting.

obviously this is an exaggeration. but since we’re playing the game.

ok, I’ll bite and role-play devil’s advocate. how do you respond to such a take?

well if the feminist movement is all about deconstructing gender and removing fixed ideas of gender, then surely the trans movement is reversing this by reinforcing stereotypes in how people dress etc. /s

right, except sometimes it’s easier to impose conditions on certain countries than others. for example the US was able to get the previous Indian administration to sign a treaty ceding partial control of their arsenal to them, on threat of sanctions (if I recall correctly). as much as the US might want to do something like that with China, it wouldn’t be anywhere near as easy to pull off.

this is just an example, I’m not attaching moral value to what occurred/occurs

you don’t need to say yes if someone asks you?

depends how you define duck; you can very much make it a binary. ultimately every term is just a construct

perfect! thank you :)

the word ‘crog’ was also used to refer to general shades of orange before we took the name from the fruit

it was factions of the Republican elite who reached out to the religious right to get support for their neoliberal agenda, when they saw them successfully organise politically. Reagan happened to be of a similar religious leaning, but his reinterpretation of pre-existing American civil Christianity to these ends is much more than one of a useful idiot being told what to do.

and the most interesting part of the whole situation is that the other side most likely thinks the same

could you remind me which part of Marxism exactly it was Stalin was implementing, other than claiming to be in line with Marxism? a dictatorship of the proletariat perhaps?

or make a ‘join lemmy’ sign?

or write ‘join lemmy’ so you take away the numbers in the long run

the point is to take away traffic in the long run

topic markers are just a fancy way to say case endings

couldn’t stop laughing. could I have a source please?
