Everyone ready for March 8th? I predict I'll be adding a lot more companies to my boycott list, the only acceptable amount of feminism to see from a company I give money to is zero.
I'm planning a post going over a year of their bullshit and suggesting how to move forward, but real life commitments might make it come late. (Yes, I do have a job, I'm not paid to shill an anti-woman narrative like some have accused. No, I don't work for Epic.)
Edit :
Rocket League is now no longer installed on my console. Shame. I was enjoying it.
I'd take that job. I'm not nearly as anti-woman as you, but I'd still be more than happy to collect money to bitch about them online.
The irony is, that would still be more effort than most of them put in for their money.
Hang in there. Being depressed is another way your enemies win.
Look at it this way, plenty of women are going to suffer from the policies they enact.
Don't worry, I'm not suicidal. If I die, it's probably one of them doxxing me and killing me in my sleep.
Worst day of the year for me. I take the day off work and avoid everything in the hope of getting away from their narrative at it's strongest. Usually spend it checking over my boycott lists and updating them, just to make sure I'm ready for the next year of Nazis pretending they aren't Nazis. I take the whole "don't fund your enemy" thing to an extreme.
I don't know why I have to say this, but you probably need to find an actual hobby or something. I literally never notice when "National Woman's Day" is. You're hyper-focusing on it.
As much as I think TheImpossible1 beats the drum too damn hard, I have to be entirely fair. I only know it's coming because my current employer IS making a deal out of it. Some staff have posters up (I have to cut the data retention policy because we have no budget to increase capacity despite a half-dozen new VMs coming online but someone's paying to get commemorative posters graphic-designed and printed). I can't quite give details without doxxing myself, but they just announced they'll be having a seminar next week which includes an "empowering women climate action" box. No details on what's in the box other than a t-shirt for the woman in charge and "activities" for 5-10 girls.
I would probably consider getting a job with a different company before your destroys itself (which it's on the way to doing making fiscal decisions like that).
I work for schools or school boards. They ain't going down until the government goes down.
Well, there's your answer.
Public School: prisons for children.
Burn the tax base.
You don't notice the massive uptick in their genocidal bullshit?
Jokes aside, I do have some hobbies left that they haven't ruined yet. But I just never feel like doing much when I see everyone celebrating the literal worst of humanity. It's like having International Hitler Day.
Why are you like this?
Name a group that has taken more reprehensible actions during the pandemic.
Democrats.
Who are led by a woman. And don't say Biden is their leader, because he doesn't know what day it is.
Than whom?
I'm hardly burying the answer to this. I just don't see why the context isn't enough.
I think you forgot this, but what broke him was when that Gillette ad came out, there was a poll that said that 52% of women agreed with it, but considering these are the same people that gave Hillary a 98% chance of winning, I don’t know why he has Gell-Mann Amnesia about polls. Probably because his bias already was clouding him and he went with it.
I was "broken" before that. That just kind of reinforced what I already felt. I've never fully said what actually makes me feel the way I do about them.
Do we get to learn your origin story on the 8th, too?
Can't tell if this is a joke or a mockery of some perceived self-importance in what I post, but no.
I'm actually curious, but asked it like that because it's more fun to phrase it like I did.
It's motivated reasoning, unfortunately. It's stunning to watch him argue with the ethno nats ranting about the jews. Neither of them seem to really grasp that they are doing the exact same thing to two different groups.
Come on, it's not like rest of the year isn't also filled with gynocentric bullshit.
True, but that's the day when all the corporations also talk a load of bullshit about how great they supposedly are.
So tuesday, but with fanfare that its tuesday.
It's Monday isn't it?
Reminder that International Women's Day was founded by Vladimir Lenin himself, in appreciation for the role women had in the February Revolution.
I wanted to point out that Lenin opposed the provisional government, even as some other Bolsheviks such as Kamenev supported it, but then I noticed that the date of IWD matches up fairly well with the February Revolution.
In fact, it's on March 8, the exact same day. Amazing.
I just saw my first lead-in to the day in my work inbox. The bold heading was something about how 5 million women lost their jobs in 2020. Apparently that's supposed to invoke some sort of sorrow on my part. Without any context of course. How many men lost their jobs? If it was just 1 million men they would have pointed it out, so I can only conclude it was close to or more men. It's like if I visited a morgue and then wrote an article about how I visited a "healthcare facility" where 90% of the occupants had died on the last month. So much obnoxious manipulation.
No need to lose the will to live, my man.
We live for struggle. Think of how boring it would be without it. Despair is the greatest vice. We'll fight them until our last breath. No giving up, no matter what.
