@screwturn

I pity your ignorance. You’re also rude and vulgar, but I forgive you for that. You can’t help it. Rudeness and vulgarity stem from ignorance.

Ignorance can be cured. Start here:

@LevZadov
Again, "Lev" fuck off

I don't need nor desire your "forgiveness".
I refer you back to point 1.

Your voice, which now exceeds several foolscap pages of red-herring-do, amply illustrates why some men.., nay, men in general, should rather shut the fuck up and not offer their embarrassingly off-key opinions.

Here is my gift to you, "Lev": shut up more

@screwturn

This person is more than just rude and ignorant, they’re an apologist for the (relatively recent) rise of patriarchy.

Are the propagandists of patriarchy welcome on Mastodon? Not in my timeline.

I’d like to also point out that “screwturn” not only fails to provide evidence that anything I said was untrue or irrelevant, he has no way of knowing for sure that I *am* a man. For all he knows for certain, I’m virtual crossdressing, so for all he knows for certain, he’s insulting a woman. He’s *definitely* insulting women in general. By denying women’s history he’s denying women's agency.

He’s also lying. No, it was not “always” like this, nor shall it be forever. Even today there are groups and circumstances in which women are equals. Have doubts? Read up on anarchist culture.

The rise patriarchy, like the even more recent rise of capitalism, was a collective mistake. We’ll get over it like we got over the divine right of kings.

Don’t trust him. He’s a closet patriarchist, preaching defeatism. No, women don’t need to “lie back and enjoy it” because “that’s just Nature’s way”. Women have always resisted male (or any) domination, sometimes with “extreme prejudice".

@LevZadov @screwturn buddy you are so far out of your depth it is comical.

your "evidence" that some women had high status, because of the things they were buried with, is not proof that women have enjoyed universal equality throughout history. some women were queens, but it would be silly to conclude that all societies with queens were inherently egalitarian. you might as well might conclude that Margaret Thatcher's use of paramilitary death squads in Northern Ireland is a prime example of "girl power" — women who rise to the top of patriarchal societies are usually anti-feminist and see themselves as the exception to the rules they think other women should live under.

and before you go "but but but anarchists" anarchists aren't immune to sexism. there are so many anarchist groups that have fallen apart because men couldn't shut up and do the work. you don't know what you're talking about and you should sit down and listen instead of posting through it.

@ggggbbybby @screwturn

(1.) I didn’t say that women have enjoyed universal equality throughout history.

(2.) I also didn’t say anarchists are immune to sexism, though we *are* better at fighting it than a lot of cultures.

(3.) Don’t put words in my mouth. It’s rude, it’s dishonest, it’s very bad form.

(4.) It is naive to assume that a person of either gender was a leader and not a common soldier. Common soldiers of any gender are *far* more common than leaders. That’s how it is in their lives, that’s how it is in their graves.

(5.) The Irish death squads were overwhelming male and operated under male command. The Troubles weren’t about fighting sexism. They were about fighting colonialism. Not everyone on earth has the same priorities. Personally, I never got involved in The Troubles except for one scuffle in a bar in SF’s Tenderloin, and I didn’t start it. Not my priority. My first duty is to resist here in the belly of the beast. However, I won’t criticize the Irish paramilitariesI for not doing it my way. I agree with Fredrick Douglass who wrote, "Let every man work for the abolition of slavery in his own way. I would help all and hinder none."

@LevZadov

Are you drunk, Lev?

Because that might explain why you keep misunderstanding what people type.

Again, you don't HAVE to post extraordinarily long, tedious, and banal posts about things you seem not to actually understand.

Rather just STFU for a change
Be kind, be helpful, and post less
