Women liberated from ISIS celebrate by taking their face veil off and dance. - General

[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;51870584]...what? Honestly can't really make out what you're trying to say?[/QUOTE] We were talking about women making different live choices. Your "c" option wasn't a choice it was lack of one. [QUOTE=GoDong-DK;51870584]What I'm saying is that some social norms are counterproductive, and we should be aware that it's a problem. Men shouldn't be compelled to not get into nursing simply because it's a traditionally feminine line of work for example. I won't say that there aren't biological reasons for why more women get into nursing or whatever, but we should still strive to make sure that people don't feel social pressure to choose a different career than the one they want just because of their gender. It's pretty simple stuff. It's not "every line of work needs to be 50/50 or SOCIETY HAS FAILED", it's common sense stuff to make sure people don't feel undue barriers of entry to the line of work they want.[/QUOTE] We happen to agree on this if you read my post above.

[QUOTE=Silly Sil;51870686]We were talking about women making different live choices. Your "c" option wasn't a choice it was lack of one.[/quote] I must admit that I still don't really get what you're getting at - maybe I'm retarded. Either way, it's not important as: [quote]We happen to agree on this if you read my post above.[/QUOTE] Well that's what I attempted to write in my first reply to you - I don't think we agree exactly on everything, but yeah, the general picture maybe.

[QUOTE=Tudd;51868792]Imagine if western Feminists actually cared about issues like these in terrible places that have huge inequalities between the sexes.[/QUOTE] Western civil rights movements focus on looking inwardly at the West. Wow, that's a real brainteaser, isn't it? [I]Obviously[/I] anti-thetical to people who see no problem with Trump's "America First" rhetoric and ignore the wider, far more important issues of climate change, so long as they get to stick it to foreigners.

OP: "Look at these women being happy about escaping oppression!" "Ok yeah great but [i]western feminists tho...[/i]"

What does this have to do with feminism at all?

Of course Tudd couldn't post a heartwarming video without somehow using it as a tool to discredit "SJWs" or "leftists" or any other group he doesn't like for whatever bullshit reason people in his safe space told him to. Of course if your only exposure to feminism is carefully cherrypicked by people on the internet with an existing distaste for it and a clear agenda, then you're going to have a warped view of it. Go out and actually talk to these people, observe their conversations, engage with them. You'll find they're pretty reasonable and have a lot of valid concerns. They care for women in other countries, but there are still problems at home that need to be addressed. It's not a one-or-the-other type deal. You can care about more than one thing at a time. Obviously it has it's fair share of crazies and extremists. But that is true of EVER SINGLE MOVEMENT THAT HAS EVER EXISTED EVER. They are very much the minority.

[QUOTE=Tudd;51868792]Imagine if western Feminists actually cared about issues like these in terrible places that have huge inequalities between the sexes.[/QUOTE] Clearly spreaded legs on a subway is a more pressing issue.

It's a bit like people that complain about countries that practice slavery in the past, there still countries in the world that practice it today but it's not talked about almost like a social taboo.

This isn't coming off as propaganda to anyone else?

[QUOTE=Ridge;51877497]This isn't coming off as propaganda to anyone else?[/QUOTE] Propaganda for what? To join anti ISIS forces?

[QUOTE=Rocâ„¢;51876849]Clearly spreaded legs on a subway is a more pressing issue.[/QUOTE] You're right, dude. There are way too many groups dedicated solely to shutting down subway leg spreading! C'mon, man. At least Tudd puts effort into his shitposting.

Nice to see see some good happening over there for once. Burn niqabs, not flags. [img]https://fi.somethingawful.com/images/smilies/emot-patriot.gif[/img]
