  • to discuss how these things happen in other parts of the world with similar roots of anglocentric patriarchy. i'm not trying to drive the conversation, just provide "here's what happens in another part of the world, maybe it will help analyze your systems"

  • i don't know how things are in Australia, but i do know how misogyny is so common in American schools. you can't think of it as being individual failures on behalf of the teachers. you have to think of this as entire system of patriarchy that selects for individuals who are less likely to resist it.

    firstly are the weed out systems:

    1. a school teacher needs 4-6 years worth of higher education to be eligible to teach meaning a school teacher is more likely to come from a wealthier, more conservative background
    2. a school teacher is paid poverty wages, making them more reliant on spousal support, creating a soft reinforcement of traditional gender roles
    3. teachers are hired by administrators who are usually men, men who can have unaudited privilege in the system of patriarchy, creating bias in what they consider "professional" for a teacher towards someone who will fit into this overall system

    then there's the reinforcement systems

    1. you are genuinely correct that most teachers are more progressive when it comes to social issues, but they are also making poverty wages meaning they're more reliant on the job. they're more desperate and therefore less likely to upset the apple cart
    2. teachers are not the only people who interact with kids. administrators are usually who operate the punishment system in a school. this punishment system creates an interplay between the nurturing mother stock character and the disciplinary father stock character. the disciplinary father stock character in his role will often hand children mysogynistic views very directly.

  • Can somebody please explain why the world hasn't gone nuclear yet?

    Jump

  • i can speak to this very directly. my uncle thought he was working on making nuclear power more renewable. but what was really happening is that depleted fuel rods are the magic sauce that makes thermonuclear devices (hydrogen bombs) work. even now, i do not truly believe the nuclear powered ai centers are about the progress of man, but rather an excuse to set up extraction economies stripping the earth of her natural resources to then be turned against the working poor who mined the wealth for their overlords in the form of weapons of instantaneous genocide. the only arguments i'm willing to hear in favor of nuclear are to decommission old petrochemical plants, but none of the nuclear plans being presented now have these provisions. the capital hoarders do not propose to sunset any coal, and accuse you of being a pro-petrochemical luddite when you stand in the way of their nuclear proposals.

  • i'm of two minds. one is "finally, after all these years of allegedly all straight crews"

    the other is "the messaging is 'put all the queers on the queer flight, they don't belong'" and that thought came first and isn't a positive thought

  • all of that is because gender is socially derived. we don't need to attach any aspect of our personality to our gender, or any of our gender to our personality. given this, we can understand all gender to be either contrived or performative. if gender is performative, we can contrive associations that are positive and hopefully raise a new generation of decently well adjusted men who get us closer to living in a post gender-coded society
