That assumes that it is a neutral act and an act based souly on who hit first. It leads to some serious moral consequences to work based on the schoolyard politics of, “But miiiissss, he hit me first”

Shoe0nHead. She is a blast from the past after getting harassed by her followers one too many times. Hopefully she is less of a shithead now she isn’t with Armoured Skeptic and isn’t as online.

I’m opposed to violence, however I define it differently to how the state does. One example of violence that wouldn’t be considered by the state to be violence is calling the cops.

Violence is a hierarchy and as soon as you understand that, the more you understand it as a meaningless term.

I think I’m just gonna tag you as a misogynist with my Lemmy client and move on with my day. Maybe less demanding women debate you in the marketplace of ideas might be good for you. This is weird and beggy.

I mean, like, the concept of “submissive and breedable” is just rooted in a shitty origin really. It it dehumanising and minimises people to their ability to get pregnant. Spreading it outside of the context of the meme means spreading the misogyny of the term itself.

Are you actually trying to say you are not a misogynist while simultaneously calling a woman hysterical? Did you know that the Greek word for womb is “hystera”?

You’d be surprised that I had someone in my replies the other day saying they never came across misogyny on here. The replies are yikes.

Christ - some of these replies are exactly what a lot of women talk about when we say that Lemmy has a misogyny problem.

Blokes really don’t recognize how much harder shit actually is for women, overall. It would be lovely to just sit on a bench for 5 mins without a stranger coming to chat me up, or if people would stop crediting men for my work when they don’t even ask for it.

If you want a detailed response to this, reading Michel Foucault would probably be better than anything I could really say. He is a bit of a weirdo (putting it likely) like plenty of philosophers though.

Railway history is incredible because it was very much built on personal spats between various millionaires and scam artists. Yerkes is probably my favourite example of both.

I think that is where it feels iffy to me, personally. Also, like, since you are asking this, there is a feeling of there being a power imbalance from you already so I would avoid it.

Don’t go off what people say on here. Men on here are particularly weird and misogynistic - and I say this living somewhere where I frequently get catcalled within 30 secs of stepping through the door.

I mean… You didn’t

This decision should be reconsidered and I would downvote if my instance allowed. Almost every comment is against it here.

This wouldn’t have taken much time or skill to make in GIMP or Krita.

The funny thing about “plainclothes officers” is that they never wear plain clothes. There is a spot that the cops like to stop and search people fairly near me and they are always painfully obvious. I had one flash his badge at me when he was wearing a giant north face jacket over a very visible stab vest the other week.

I’m like one in public but the other in private.

I’ve given this a lot of thought but I’d love to meet oppressed historical figures. I’d love to see people autonomously standing up for themselves like at Stonewall and The Battle of Cable Street. I assume that they are both more brutal than anything I can imagine but it blows my mind to realize how many people came together.

I’d love to see the parts of town where the post-WW2 “slum clearings” took place. Gentrification is having a real impact here at the moment and its a shame. We recently lost a shabby 80s community centre and the building that replaced it never got the community back. Honestly, I just want to walk around here before the cars arrived.

A stranger thing that I would want to see is the old wood-paneled stock on the Metropolitan line of the London Underground in service at its peak. I generally would just want to explore transport systems as a whole. Getting to ride a 1910s tram on the street would probably feel surreal.

I just keep their Facebook accounts logged in on my phone. Every few months, I will go onto their profiles and unlike pages like “Wear your poppy with pride” and deradicalize their algorithm. Poppies for British boomers on Facebook are like Elsa and Spiderman on YouTube for babies.

This is misgendering and harrasment, if you believe or not. She asks to be called Lina, so she is Lina.

Gen AI is, for the most part, weighted random number generation. It does not think/feel/suffer the consequences of racism.

Absolutely wild racist take.
