[a sign reads FEMINIST CONFERENCE next to a closed door, a blue character shrugs and says…]

[next to the same door, the sign now says RESTRICTED FEMINIST CONFERENCE WOMEN ONLY, there are now four blue characters desperately banging on the door, one is reduced to tears on the floor, they are shouting]
DISCRIMINATION

LET US IINN!!
MISANDRY

    It’s like the discussion about if you can be racist toward white people. It’s endless drama

      It’s like the discussion about if you can be racist toward white people.

      Depends on whether you’re using the common definition, or intersectional feminist jargon. That is literally the distinction.

      Common definitions:

      prejudice, discrimination, or hostility directed at people because of their race or ethnicity.

      Intersectional feminist jargon:

      Racism is racial oppression embedded in social structures and power relations, often operating together with patriarchy and other systems of domination.

      PS: Race isn’t real. Not even a social construct: it’s straight up an arbitrary line drawn by a bunch of ignorant assholes, for the sake of being assholes. Ethnicities are real though.

        You’re saying it’s not endless drama while participating in the drama

          You can’t shit your pants then blame other people for participating in it because they called you out for it.

            A single comment wouldn’t be drama. This would be more like bringing food for everyone and saying it will cause diarrhea. It always does and people always eat it.

            But I did bring the food

              A single comment. You said the other commenter was participating in the drama by commenting on your comment. So which is it?

                I made a single comment that got the drama started. The drama is that comment and the replies to it. It wouldn’t be drama without the replies

                  All I did was shit my pants. The drama is everyone reacting to the smell. Alright then.

                    I guess that’s a better way to phrase it than the original, since the drama is the ensuing thing more than what started it. Some topics are just surefire ways to get the thing going
