@coriander really though the E is extremely important to the pronunciation lol
@coriander love breatheing
@coriander unfortunately the meaning of were-man has shifted but i think the pronoun thing could work
@noelle you might hold some non-neo liberal feminist positions but i generally don't have a beef with them :P
i'm just easily annoyed by the Sheryl Sandberg “Lean In” types who conflate some women's financial success as businesswomen with an actual ideal feminist future, ignoring all the poor women who will never have access to that future (poor women do not count to neoliberals because they are not sufficient consumers)
again, i am not at all concerned that you might hold these beliefs :P
@noelle when i say "neoliberal" i pretty much mean "equates market value with actual value" which i know for a fact you don't do
@coriander i think we should use he-man for all masculine people and reclaim man as gender unspecified
the opinion of many Americans, whether they are fascists, climate activists, leftists, or antiracists, is that the US Government does not currently have the capacity to enact that alternate future
responses to this vary, but of course the fascists respond with fascism
it is unsurprising that people who work in media would place an outsized importance on the role of rhetoric, but our current crisis is not the result of savvy Republicans using strong language to get votes, but the fact that many Americans do not see a future for themselves in this country, and some segment of them believe that through fascism that state of affairs can be changed
you have to do the work of building for them an alternate future if you want them to take a different stance. simply negating their current position is not enough
