  • if you don’t want to be assaulted.

    you don't have to apologize, that's not my point. in fact i want you to quietly think about how what you said before, and just now might be wrong til it hits home for you.

    i know it seems like im baiting an answer. its the net, arguing is fun, nothing's stopping you from replying, but I'm being straight with you. stop victim blaming. you're not stupid, im not saying you are. *please, stop. it only helps the oppressor, and we're all getting stomped by that boot.

    i want you to know im not tryina bust your chops specifically. sure, i picked your comment to reply to, but it's nothing personal.

    I'm also speaking broadly to the room, reminding everybody what we already know; that how we look at pervasive surveillance n how we got to live under it is absolutely broken.

  • i'd like to point out that it shouldn't be on women (or anyone) to be on constant guard against attacks on their privacy.

    yes, it is the state of the world, but the attitude of your comment is victim blaming.

    let's not forget that while we on Lemmy may be aware of the danger of mass surveillance tech, we're not the majority.

    snowden told us years ago how fucked everything is, and surveillance has only grown since then. let's not forget that it is not normal that corpo data-mining is the norm (along with included de-facto warrantless surveillance). Even though we all should be better, nobody should have to be as careful as we are.

    hell, let's be real. As long as we use a smartphone, we're not being careful enough either.

  • when you put it in those terms, i tend to agree.

    im only saying that if ya take ops statement "always has been" to mean "for longer than you've been living" then it's nitpicky to bring up what the party was — in response to a joke meme comment — before anyone here was even born.

    but it's not like we disagree or anything, nor did op explicitly say that. it was just my own readin.

    have a good one

  • I'm trying to tell you that privilege affects us all. im saying that words like 'i don't see it here' are a form of dismissal you need to be wary of using. Im not "trampling on STEM", im explaining that preconceived notions of fairness you have can color your perspective, because you have not been forced to see otherwise. when i said "be careful not to dismiss", i meant that your words were toeing the line towards dismissal. i can see upon reread that it could be taken worse than i intended, so i'll be even clearer in saying "you must be careful not to", not "you're being dismissive right now".

    my whole point is: privilege is a double-edged sword and despite trying, your position in society means you cannot see these things as well as those who are forced to see.

    Do you fundamentally disagree with this concept? Do you believe that what I'm saying is possible? I'm not coming at you from a high horse, im saying these things as someone who has reevaluated their own perspective with privilege in mind and wants to share what they've learned.

  • If someone claims that women are held to a higher standard, I think asking “how is it possible that on average, at all levels, they get higher grades and they are the majority of students?” is a fair question.

    No, it completely misunderstands ops point, and i am flabbergasted that you should double-down like this. Can you provide for me other meanings for ops point? what "held to a higher standard" might actually mean? Until you can tell me how "but girls grades were higher ipso facto they were not held to higher standards" does *not or might not be relevant, your refutation spurious and your refutation dismissed.

    I have no interest to debate or invalidate one’s experience, maybe this cannot be generalized if there are quite glaring issues with statistical data.

    i don't believe you, because that's exactly what you are doing. if you're not interested, stop doing it?
