#1 Am in my 80s and female. I have personally run into three of these situations and, for the fourth, had to threaten to contact the banking commissioner when a mortgage loan was denied for me despite a perfect credit score, 20 years at the same job, and putting 66% on the new house. When I divorced in '72, hubby took all the CC cards and left me as 'cash only' until I bullied one bank into giving me one. We cannot go back. Oh, you forgot: men didn't pay child support if out of state.

"Third wave feminism" seems to be about putting boots on the necks of men and first wave feminists, going by the public rhetoric against it.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Some people do take it too far, and then those who were already against equality cherry-pick the ones who go too far and act like that's the average in order to discredit the whole group.
And to be clear, that's not an invalid concept, to think that perhaps the only way to truly be equal is to push the pendulum the other way for awhile instead of just pushing it to the center. Because to say, ok let's start being equal starting now, means that we all start from our current places, where men /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
hold the majority of the money and the power. So how can we possibly be equal if we're ok with taking that as our starting point? It's effectively the same idea as reparations for slavery to black people in the US. Trying to start being equal now, on a tilted playing field, can't possibly result in equality. It's like starting a game with one team being given a massive lead. How will the other ever catch up? /2

Good for you, genuinely. Recognizing you've been wrong, acknowledging it aloud, and offering apologies to those affected is all harder than a lot of people are willing to credit. It is never too late to learn to do better and by doing this you also make it easier for others to do the same.

The Republican propaganda playbook, heavily copied from the one Goebbels of the Nazi Party crafted, has many precepts... and one of the key ones is to take heavily used words or phrases by the opposition and then repurpose them. The did it with liberal, woke, socialism, democrat.... and now antifa (anti-fascism).
Antifa is about being against fascism. And Republicans consider feminism as something else to hate. This party is an evil cabal dead set on creating civil chaos. They must be stopped.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
There was a lot of talk maybe a decade or so ago about "rebranding" feminism to a name that hasn't been demonized. There's literally no point. They'll just demonize the new name, while you've created discontinuity in the movement. Probably the same reason the NAACP doesn't change their name to remove "colored" from it. It's pointless.

#1 is great, but let's add to it to really drive home the fact that as women, our rights are so young, and SO hard fought, just absolutely CLAWED out of the system:
1848: The Seneca Falls Convention is the first meeting for women's rights and arguably the beginning of the suffrage movement in the United States (but was not limited to the vote, women's rights were deeply tied to abolition as well.)
You could say it wasn't until the 1920s that white women got the right to vote, but /1
sapphsquatch
/1 technically we got it piece meal over the next 80 years across the states. It was the 19th amendment that we got in the 1920s and that ONLY applied to white women.
That's 80 years. It took 80 years of fighting to get the vote, and realistically, it took longer, that foundation was being set as far back as the beginning of the 19th century.
For anyone who was not white? Longer. 1965. That includes, any woman of Asian descent, Native women, Black women-- it took so long.

#1 Women had trouble getting bank accounts when single, too, and would frequently be required to have a male co-signer on the account.
cytherians
I remember hearing about that from my mother. When she was working a part-time job and wanted to have a bank account to keep that money separate, under her own management, the bank wouldn't let her without her husband co-signing...
That's what Republicans want to bring back--women subservient to men in all forms. It's disgusting and despicable. No woman should've ever voted for Trump. It's masochism.
fillerbunny9
They want to go back to when you’d get home from work, could rape your wife when you wanted, demand they cook you dinner, and be unable to leave due to a systemic disregard for female independence. Voting, finances, and no fault divorce are three of the worst things to happen to conservative men, as far as they’re concerned.
cytherians
And what I don't get is the cognitive dissonance mindset of conservative career minded women. Do they vote Republican because they see themselves as exceptional, but the majority of women in the 99% need to be "owned" by their husbands?

FaeVikingPrincess
it's weird how the people with the most privilege are always the first to claim someone demanding equality for a specific group are racist or sexist or whatever. Almost like they think equal means having different levels of castes where some people deserve to have more privilege while others deserve to suffer.

#3 growing up in the time I did the culture and society, I did this. I grew emotionally and intellectually, learned more about the world, heard stories from my female loved ones, friends, and strangers, read online. I tried to understand something I will never, and trusted when women around me said they experienced it and felt it.
Sometimes, I still do that stupid shit because the rot runs deep. But I keep trying. There is no excuse to not listen and not try.

I try but it's not something that comes as second nature or easily. I try to be an ally but I often fall short without malicious intent. Even admitting it feels self indulgent like my upset is even remotely comparable

NotSomoneElse68
My friends in high school were nerdy, but were pretty cool about women. When I was told about the things men do to women I thought ,"it's just a small minority of men" because I thought most men were like me and my friends. But in the decades since, and I've met more men and listened to more women and the things they've gone through... Holy shit we're a bunch of bastards. They say the 1 in 4 women have been the victim of sexual assault. I feel that's a lie. It has to be much, much higher. ¹
NotSomoneElse68
And the whole "stop saying sorry all the time” thing. You notice it's mostly women that do that. Because they all have had a man in their lives that would blame them for everything and get mad at the any perceived slight against them. I've changed it to " you don't to need to apologize to me". It reduces the stigma.
amanofmellowcharacter365
At first I was confused why my partner was saying sorry so much. I kept responding "No, why? Don't be sorry" then it got frustrating because I didn't want her to feel like she thinks she should be sorry for ordinary stuff, I didn't get it. I understand deeper now, still don't get it, but I engage her, sometimes a touch or catch her eye and say something like, "my love don't ever be sorry for feeling/saying/thinking what you're going through"
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
It happens here on Imgur constantly. I'm glad there are men noticing and trying to change, but it's sad to see that even on a site that's as supposedly "left" as imgur, there's still plenty of it. Remember the protests against MediaLab and all the boobs? People are still talking about how great it was, while I saw numerous comments from women saying it makes them feel alienated and unwelcome. But no one cared about that.
KPodol
Imgur is liberal, not really leftist, a lot of leftist always criticize liberal for the very same thing you talk about, how their ally ship is performative and any "excuse" they have they'll be happy resort to misogynist and bigoted discourse, not realizing that trying to find excuses to be misogynist/bigoted is how you reinforce those structures.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I do think imgurians do pretty well to not be explicitly misogynous. Absolutely better than the average. Whatever label you want to use, most of the userbase does seem to agree that equality is important. That's why it's so disappointing to see it squeeze out the edges. It's so normalized by society that they don't even think of it as an issue.
KPodol
That's what is criticized around the performative nature of it, being better than the average only come when it help their image, but given the chances of being able to, they'll revert back to using these type of insult if it is generally "accepted" and it ultimately reinforces those issues like you noted. Some don't understand that deconstruction is not a one and done, society constantly pressure us to fall back on it and we must constantly fight against those norms.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I disagree with that conclusion. Everyone has biases that they aren't aware of, that are built as you grow and learn, and are reinforced by your society. Some people are commenting here that they used to say racist and sexist things, thinking nothing of it, because it was the norm and it was just accepted. Then they learned why that was bad and they're trying to change. But IMO a lot still don't realize that posting a boob pic or even just a sexy pic of a woman contributes to our society's /1
Nyxaura
Yeah I don’t care for boob Imgur. Why couldn’t people protest with something else?
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
To me it just felt like they were showing their "real" selves, and it was extremely offputting. I understand enjoying looking at sexual images. I don't understand this communal need to share looking at them and making degrading comments about them. If they just did it in private no one would care. But it always has to be public. Even the gross comments on non-sexual posts. Why? Why do they have to *post* it instead of just think it? No one cares who they want to fuck.

That's exactly what it is, there are a few groups of "content creators" that create rape videos where the women are victims of sexual trafficking, and often they're underage to boot.

We need to stop using the word underage when describing victims of SA and instead say “child”

I get wanting to use terminology that evokes stronger emotion, but those people don't deserve to be remembered in any context. Perpetrators of sex trafficking should be treated with cold, clinical, matter-of-fact efficiency and executed. No outrage or news headlines, just removed from the population and erased.

#1 My little sister was born in 1974. My Mom told me she thinks my Dad had her sterilized while she was in the hospital because he didn't want any more kids. She has three sisters and they all have 3-4 kids. She's a devout Catholic and would not consider birth control or abortions.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I read an article about the history of breast cancer treatment. They used to not even tell the woman what was happening, and there was no partial removal considered. Her husband would consent to it, she'd go to the hospital, and she'd wake up with her boobs gone. The husband could tell her beforehand if he wanted, I guess. But it wasn't required for her to be told by anyone, or to consent.

We are taught since childhood to keep separate aspects of life entirely apart, and this is considered normal. One does not mix them. It's not that they are good actors, they are simply doing what everyone does, and to them there is no difference: any time you see someone pass by and think to yourself "Damn!" or experience a passing desire to eat something, travel somewhere, watch anything, and don't act on it, don't even acknowledge it... someone else could be having very different thoughts.

For some reason, creepers are highly uncomfortable with that, and

if a healthy dose of public humiliation and laughter results in them worrying the next time they want to be inappropriate with a woman, and second guessing, I'll count that as a fuckin' win.

JustARandomDutchGuy
Looks like some desperately crave to oppress. I wager it's because their frail ego cannot handle not being inherently good/special. Apparantly, if they get to oppress someone, anyone really, they'll gladly take the oppression of someone who superficially looks vaguely similar to them.

Okay, but where is the resistance?
awholelotofnothin
In the majority of the world, women are oppressed, with little legal recourse. People are fighting this oppression in the US, but the media is fully conservative and not going to promote that fight. Under this administration, showing anyone's name or face is dangerous. But by making the fight visible, the women will be attacked, doxxed, harmed. So we don't insist. Will your impatience help them or harm them? Are you fighting for women's rights in your country against conservatives? If so, how?

So the response is, "I know you are but what am I?" Women won rights through struggle that lasted generations and earned endless scorn, insults and violence. Is the media more conservative than it was in the 1970s? Is society? I'm not buying it.

Oh, come on. Who owned the mainstream media back when "women's lib" activists were marching in the streets? Were the owners transgender bisexual LatinX supporters of Palestine???

That's a really specific strawman you made there. Yes, the news media was a lot more independent some 50 years ago and has since been extremely consolidated to the point where only 4 companies serve 90% of the US population's news broadcasters, from initially hundreds of independent local stations. Similar happened with newspapers. This is also all public information, you can just read up on it with zero effort.

Ironically, the countries you might least expect it were the first to remove marital exemptions. Russia, in 1922. Poland, in 1932 (no offense to the Polish but a lot of people have a very biased view of poland). Slovakia 1950. Sweden is the outlier from what we consider 'the west', with 1965.

Not just "omg, vagina". But "omg, percieved vagina."
Women being like men is worthy. Men being like women is a downgrade & "mental illness".
Some misogynist extremists also think it's gay to have sex with women, and it's more masculine to have sex with men but not "men", only feminine boys.
Like pedastry in Ancient Greece & Rome.

Makes me think of my grandparents and the chances they didn't get. (born 1897 and 1900). They were farmers and we only found out when my granddad got 'knighted' (some Dutch recognition pin that you get from the mayor) that he had been an unpaid councilmember for over 40 years next to his farmwork. Probably proves he wasn't dumb. And his wife was (a lot) smarter than he was and could discuss anything and everything well into her 80's. Think my mom (IQ around 140) got her smarts from grandma. >
ricpaul
But back in those days you didn't get out of the environment you were born into. My dad was the first of his town to have more than a highschooleducation and my mom was working as a teacher before she met him and was pretty self-sufficient (apart from the ~10 years she stopped working raising us). Guess I was lucky growing up seeing parents with equal standing so I think that for the most part I have always seen women as equals. Never known it to be anything else.

what does "a pornhub child rape victim" mean?

Overly condensed descriptor makes it hard to follow.
She is the one who published a book trying to get pornhub shut down because she found videos on pornhub that included rape and sex trafficking victims, including some with underage victims.

Presumably someone who was raped as a child who had the video of that rape posted on Pornhub.
