The messaging of men needing to be punished is definitely how it was felt and that produces the sort of society we’re living in right now. I still don’t believe that’s the actual intent but it can still be perceived that way and it’s important to consider.
- erikerikson 2y agoI had a professor organize a group of older women to encircle me and shout insults and tell me how horrible I was because of my race and gender. The rationale was that those women were taking out their frustrations from being abused by men on me. Ironically, they were unaware that I had been beaten, molested, and burned by my mother. There are social actors with whom this isn't just a communication perception problem. It is just as stupid for abuse to happen by the hands of women as it is at the hands of men. There is deep historical precedent with a lot of lasting ramifications. An eye for an eye makes us all blind and all that.
- SlightlyLeftPad 2y agoI’m sorry that happened to you, that’s terrible and a pretty shameful thing to do to another innocent person. I would have raised hell if I was treated that way, especially for a class I was paying a load of money for. Unacceptable. Edit: I would have also raised hell if I saw someone else getting treated this way by a professor.
- erikerikson 2y agoYes and my revenge is living life better than that. Spreading as much prosperity as I can. The problem is not that I have privilege but that others don't and to any extent I don't spread it. Sustainability comes quickly into account but that's a different comment...
