Misleading title by propaganda pushing “news” sub. It’s funny that I can often know before checking whether or not a post is “world news” just by the title
Especially if it’s a man being accussed
Fuck Rolling Stone though. I still have no respect for them after the UVA thing. (and to much lesser extent their recent 250 guitarists list) what a joke of a publication.
Literally EVERY TIME it’s mentioned, someone assumes that a thing being a social construct means we should erase it.
That’s because that’s EXACTLY how you make it sound.
Calling things a social construct is a social construct. Leave LSD to the adults please.
Which is why it’s dumb to try to negate a thing like crime by saying it’s a social construct. The language we are using to talk about it being a social construct is a social construct. Literally YOU are a social construct, but here you are, worried about “wage theft” which is also a social construct. So do things being a social construct matter or not because if not, lets stop trying to negate anything we don’t like by calling it a social construct, and if so lets apply it evenly and take it to it’s logical conclusion. I would say “reject society, embrace monkee” but rejection, society, embracement, and monkee are all social constructs.
Crime is a social construct = wage theft is a social construct, and according to the law of internet arguments something being a social construct means it doesn’t matter and/or it’s dumb to complain about it, so don’t worry, it’s all fine.
Calling it the patriarchy has very negative tone towards men, and basically blames men for the problem, In my experience, this issue isn’t created by men and saying it’s because of the patriarchy is just a form of victim-blaming. Even when trying to advocate for men feminism somehow manages to be sexist.
Ah. So the no true Scotsmen argument.
