My Theory About Why Feminism is Currently Irrelevent to Millenials

[mickmoranis]

TBH anyone outraged but this cuckery has not been raped, the constant reminder that you get about a rape from all you white people thinking you're helping just makes every day a flashback.

You don't care at all about the people you pretend to care about. You just want to be heard cus you're a little fish in a big pond.

Your selfishness is so apparent and your vapid souls just can't comprehend it.

Leave rape victims alone for gods sake, I haven't thought about that tape for 20 years now I'm reminded 10 times a fucking day. Give it a rest.

It's almost like you're asking for trigger warnings on our posts Mick ... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Seriously though, traumatic events (rape or otherwise) affect people, and we all need to be compassionate towards each other and recognize that talking about something which doesn't bother bother us might bother other people. So I'll just say my piece and then be done with the topic.

Look, I don't like talking about rape ... I don't think anyone does. It's a very unpleasant topic. But sometimes you have to talk about unpleasant things in order for them to change. I spent two years as a rape prevention peer educator, putting on workshops that drew connections between the toys we all played with as children to the definitions of what it means to be "male" or "female" in our society to how those societal gender expectations naturally lead to rape.

Not only did I have to spend my free time giving workshops where I talked about rape, I also had to go to retreats and such where I'd spend whole weekends learning rape facts and information, hearing 911 calls from rape victims, and doing other very not fun stuff.

But I did all that because I wanted to help stop rape, and the only way to truly do that is to change people's minds. Similarly here, I genuinely believe that if you want society to grow you can't just preach to the young college students, you have to convince everyone in society, and that includes conservative-minded people in elf-sim forums.

Rape is horrible. Rape is a function of society's gender expectations (fun fact: matriarchal early societies had no record of rape, and if you graph countries and how much power women have in them it it's basically the inverse of that country's rate of rape). The only way we can solve rape, and many other "feminist"/gender-related problems, is to come to greater understanding and empathy for each other.

Sometimes bringing up the horror of the problems we face can help motivate us to tackle them ... but it can also trivialize that horror, and so again I'll do my best to make this the last time I talk about it.
