don't come to me and whine about how prejudice against a class of people empowered by the state is the same as discrimination against a class of people that have been othered.
are you kidding me??? what next, white people are subject to racism? men are subject to sexism? cisphobia is real???
@FlaviaRini no. men, as in cis men, are subject to PREJUDICE.
i use the definition of racism and sexism and homophobia that uses the “prejudice against group + power to make these prejudices have impact”, because it's far more useful, and you can measure the effects.
otherwise you get into pointless definition fights that get nowhere.
@tariqk there are different kinds of power. Influence, coercion, autority, violence, etc. so everyone can be racist and suffer from racism because those kind of powers are accesible to almost everyone
violence, sexism, rape culture, homophobia Show more
@FlaviaRini there have been moments in my life where I have listened, in absolute horror, of the violence subjected to women and queer people that are not only difficult to accept, but difficult to comprehend.
I don't have a tenth of what they're experiencing. I cannot believe that this is something that needs to be disputed.
