Topic: Man. I feel like there is a feminists conspiracy going on.
Anonymous A started this discussion 12 years ago#33,423
A conspiracy may be the wrong word. What i mean is that in much of the western world there is this idea that women are oppressed and the way to oppose this is to oppress the men. This creates a
hellish condition where men and boys are not only oppressed by the existing powers but oppressed by women in general as some kind of a sick twisted way to oppose the established powers.
In my country a sort of a new movement is beginning to happen. A movement that identifies itself as an ideology. In this ideology is the world view that little girls are brought up to have no
influence in society while little boys are brought up to have influence in society. I feel that there is no reason for one to NOT be worried about this organization that calls itself a school or
a kindergarten.

I'm hoping that their idea of a genderless educational system means teaching EVERYONE home economics and various STEM courses, and not an indoctrination center that forces its students to use retarded new pronouns and to crossdress.
Anonymous A (OP) replied with this 12 years ago, 9 minutes later, 24 minutes after the original post[^][v]#462,642
They are mostly recognized for one thing, sex segregation.
In their ideology they explain the reason behind this being that it benefits everyone. They say that according to studies, boys steal attention of teachers away from girls and that at the same time this
extra attention is bad for the boys because its often negative attention.
In the above they make 2 mistakes. They assume that the solution to this is to segregate them. However even though it might be beneficial to the girls, there is still a issue about the negative attention to the boys. Then they of course, blame the boys for the negative attention and forget how unfair and equal it is when one considers that most of the teachers are in fact female.

So they separate the boys from the girls, but make it so that the boys have female teachers anyway?

Its not true though. I have never gone by the name of Leonidas or any name in this chan for the matter.
My suspicion of this ideology being bad for the boys is justified. You see a year ago i read their website and after a lot of questioning of their ideology they removed some parts. One of the parts
included a second reason why it was good to keep the boys separated. It was a reason that revealed their true outlook on little boys. The extra reason was that according to them, little boys are unafraid of using their fists to gain some sort of gender domination on the playground. That was their actual words. It took me a ridiculous amount of time to change this view of theirs.

yeah, usually it's leonidas that obsesses over things he has no control over nor will affect him in any way whatsoever. He thinks he's some kind of defender of righteous indignation or something.

I'm pretty sure crazy feminists use arguments like that all the time and don't find much problem with them because they actually make sense in context. You, Walter, the scourge of feminist thought, shaming someone for "pushing traditional gender roles" makes absolutely no sense in context. You are trying to use the same rhetorical arguments as the people you are arguing against.

"They" is a plural. When referring to mentally-ill "genderqueers", the correct pronoun is "it".
And the best thing we can do as a society is eliminate the worthless "girl toys". Perhaps replace dolls with LEGO dollhouse sets instead of prebuilt traditional dollhouses.

"They" works just as well as a singular pronoun. There is actually literally zero reason, other than bigotry, to get mad about use of "they" in a singular context - language changes, and singular they is a pretty good change. "It", on the other hand, is absolutely soaking in dehumanising connotations, and should never be used for persons unless they explicitly request it.

English needs better gender-neutral pronouns. "It" is dehumanizing. The best course of action (now I'm being prescriptivist) is to just use whatever pronoun the trans person wants or appears to be aiming for.
But then again not everyone wants to be shoehorned into a his/her binary. For someone who didn't identify as male or female, "they/their" would have to do until someone makes a better gender neutral pronoun.

As far as I understand, it's like this:
- if someone's presentation is fairly clearly one binary gender or the other, use the pronouns corresponding to said binary presentation. You might get corrected!
- if someone's presentation isn't clearly either binary gender, ask what their pronouns are.
- if you have no way of determining what someone's presentation is or what their gender might be, assume "they". You might get corrected!

why not just use "y'all" and be done with gendered pronouns?
