Well to be fair I was kind of advocating violence (albeit in defence of self or others). Fair enough cop, no worries.

Update: I can see the pinned post(s) now. Tesseract via lazysoci.al.

Men's sweaters are usually warmer and more comfy. I love them. (SO hates that I love them.)

We might indeed be agreeing vociferously! 😆

Well you suck enough that you came into a space that was explicitly listed as "women-only" and "please only women comment or reply" and expressed your butthurt view. This clearly demonstrates the degree of respect you show women's choices; why should we not look askance at your other choices in life?

Also, given that this very objection has been addressed AT LEAST THREE TIMES IN THIS FATHERMUCKING SET OF THREADS ALONE it appears that you don't actually care enough about the opinions of women to actually READ WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY, indicating—again—that your disdain for women kind of puts you into the "sucks" crowd.

Have a nice day. Don't post here again.

I didn't say that groups shouldn't reclaim slurs for themselves. (I mean I use "queer" myself, or when I feel especially spicy I'll use some of the more ugly slurs of "Asians".)

I'm saying that as a non-member I won't use slurs to "reclaim" them. They're not mine to reclaim and the process is fraught with too many chances of hurting people.

My policy with any minority is to not use slurs of any kind, "reclaimed" or otherwise. Precisely because the ethics and social dance around reclaimed slurs is very complicated and very easy to fuck up.

And there's no need for them. Anything that a slur, "reclaimed" or otherwise, says can be said without the "reclaimed" slur.

I addressed this elsewhere in the ensuing shitstorm. It's a question of risk management.

Coming in via Lemmy (lazysoci.al). I don't see any pinned posts.

Yeah, I added a few more bugs into my Cornell Drawers from this.

I really am very sorry for posting this at some level. I thought it was a good take on the thought experiment (further enhanced by some pretty nifty artwork). But really, just mentioning the meme is enough to get all the CHUDs out of the sewers and into the comments and I should have known better.
