  • “Gender is cringe and we should get rid of it”

    On a more serious note: I do not think that groups that define themselves in terms of exclusion are very good long-term. And neither do I think that issues of social inequality or discrimination are solved through segregation.

    Especially when it comes to gender we see huge cultural divides and I think we’d have a lot healthier a society if we could share more understanding.

    In particular I don’t think that exclusion based on gender or sex characteristics can build a healthy community. Not an egalitarian at least.

    The same way that white-exclusive or black-exclusive groups would be pretty corrosive to a society where people of either skin colour coexist.

    Furthermore I’d argue that this kind of strict segregation of people along gender lines into specific roles and social groups is how a lot of sexism is (historically and contemporarily) maintained.

    I firmly believe that the only way to achieve the society we want, is to live it. How are we going to have temporary measures now but trust me, in the far future we’ll fix this (if the measures are not temporary you’re just engaging in principled discrimination imo) if we want a more equal society we should live it, fight for it, be the more equal society.

    I want a more equal society.













  • People calling themselves anarchists seem to reliably be less of a red flag than when they call themselves communists.

    I think there’s a lot of sentiment to sympathize with and a lot of ideas to learn about.

    Implementation of anarchism seems hard and maybe sometimes a bit naïve, but on the other hand I don’t actually understand the specifics nor is there any one opinion.

    Anarvhism refers to a vlass of ideologies moreso than any one in specific.
