"reach for the sky!"

"there's a snake in my boot!"

"this town aint big enough for the two of us"

Heeheehee! If only voting brought us further away from fascism

heeheehee! if only the world was as simple as the mind that made this meme

or, yaknow... just fuggen leave that shitshow and be free right here

if reddit bots could read this they'd be very upset

I'm trying to tell you that privilege affects us all. im saying that words like 'i don't see it here' are a form of dismissal you need to be wary of using. Im not "trampling on STEM", im explaining that preconceived notions of fairness you have can color your perspective, because you have not been forced to see otherwise. when i said "be careful not to dismiss", i meant that your words were toeing the line towards dismissal. i can see upon reread that it could be taken worse than i intended, so i'll be even clearer in saying "you must be careful not to", not "you're being dismissive right now".

my whole point is: privilege is a double-edged sword and despite trying, your position in society means you cannot see these things as well as those who are forced to see.

Do you fundamentally disagree with this concept? Do you believe that what I'm saying is possible? I'm not coming at you from a high horse, im saying these things as someone who has reevaluated their own perspective with privilege in mind and wants to share what they've learned.

If someone claims that women are held to a higher standard, I think asking “how is it possible that on average, at all levels, they get higher grades and they are the majority of students?” is a fair question.

No, it completely misunderstands ops point, and i am flabbergasted that you should double-down like this. Can you provide for me other meanings for ops point? what "held to a higher standard" might actually mean? Until you can tell me how "but girls grades were higher ipso facto they were not held to higher standards" does *not or might not be relevant, your refutation spurious and your refutation dismissed.

I have no interest to debate or invalidate one’s experience, maybe this cannot be generalized if there are quite glaring issues with statistical data.

i don't believe you, because that's exactly what you are doing. if you're not interested, stop doing it?

it's one of those things a lot of thought's been put into and commies themselves argue about. i feel it's great to conceptualize (and with it the differing definitions of "the state" as well) but i'm not a scholar anyway, this ain't the place, and it's moot since socialism needs to be achieved first anyway, after we beat this whole fascism thing. no point in worrying to much about it eh?
