Interesting, but is it not a bit meaningless when they haven't specified what the same group of women perceive when the gender proportions are reversed?

Seems pretty meaningless alright

Except that it is "terrifying" apparently

“Many men, they wear suits and ties, and women tend to dress sometimes with cleavage..... I wouldn’t overestimate the effect of cleavage, but it’s there.”

My office is like that.

Except I'd MUCH prefer to be too cold than too warm, and i'm always too warm, so I dunno.

Anita Sarkesian tweeted something about a new Tropes v Women video the other day - I read a good few of the replies just to re-affirm my hatred of humanity. As you do.

But there was a gir there complaining of Anita's lack of intersectionality in her vidoes and how she was in dinger of being a white cis something or other - I was a bit confused.

Jeusus - though - there a lot of woolly headed nonsense feminism around

The internet is an angry place.

I'd like to understand why exactly calling up the lack of intersectionality in many white feminist agendas is nonsense?

 

[Lili Marlene]

Well it's really about how you do it isn't it? Anita Sarkeesian spends her whole life putting up with shit from MRA's and gamergaters, she'd probably be pretty open to constructive criticism as opposed to rape threats. Bitchy, angry internet @'ing of someone on twitter or in the comments never helps anyone, least of all your own cause.

 

[nooleen]

it was probably cattler, he used to be very concerned about intersectionality as i remember

It can come across as undermining crosstalk and distracting to what the original lady is trying to achieve, which sounds worthy enough, but I never saw the video.
One fight at a time, or go have your own fight about your own issues on your own platform.
Progressive politics are as much hampered by their own internal divisions and schisms as they are by what they're fighting against.

I should probably watch the video though.
