minus-squareSixer Zero@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up26arrow-down1·1 year agoThe annoying thing is, it’s not just the dumbest person from high school. It’s people who seem normal, until anything political is brought up.
minus-squareFunkyMonk@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down2·1 year agoI’m old, is political just slang for biggotry and woke just slang for empathy? I can’t keep up with modern language.
minus-squarePunnyName@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down3·1 year ago“Political” is not white, or male, or straight, or Christian. “Woke” = accepting of events and / or circumstances that have had in-/direct influence on their lives, likely preventing then from reaching parity. So you’re pretty much spot-on.
minus-squaretoo_high_for_this@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down6·1 year agoHey so I’m a straight white male (not by choice) and I’d like to stop being lumped in with assholes. Like, lots of assholes are straight white males, I get it. But we’re overwhelmingly decent dudes. Also, dude, “male” is not the preferred nomenclature anymore

minus-squarebeetus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down3·1 year agoWhy do you think they are talking about you? Projecting insecurities? That’s what your reply seems like And yes, “male” is still the preferred way to refer to… people who identify as men.
minus-squaretoo_high_for_this@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·1 year agoThat was a joke, Susan And no, “men” is actually the preferred term for people who identify as men. Male and female refer to biological sex characteristics. Man and woman are gender identities.
minus-squaresurewhynotlem@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down3·1 year ago“NoT aLl Men” If you don’t do the bad things then they’re not talking about you. But they say “men” because it’s almost always men. Example: men are rapists. => Not all men are rapists, but the vast majority of rapists are men. So you don’t need to feel sensitive about this, unless you somehow think you’re guilty of whatever they’re talking about.
