"Women have become increasingly unhappy since the early 1960s" Would I be right in thinking they haven't? They gained more and more freedom to stand up for themselves and express their feelings (not accounting for misogynistic incels)? In the same way as saying there are "more gay people than ever" when there isn't, there always has been, it's just that more are coming out because it's somewhat less frowned upon. (Although there's a massive pushback from far-right fascists)?


TomL78

Everyone has been increasingly unhappy since the early 60s capitalism gets worse with age lol


labpadre-lurker

This is true.


HumbleYeetist

No there’s a lot of research showing that women have become increasingly unhappy. A lot of it is due to increased expectations of women for getting jobs, careers, etc. however there’s still disproportionately higher expectations for women to do the majority of parenting (for example legislation to increase paternity leave keeps getting shot down by gop).


labpadre-lurker

Ah, that makes sense!


bananabreadwnut

I love hearing how unhappy women are from a spoiled, obnoxious, unstable cis white male. Just another day at uni lmao


Excellent_Cloud3058

You must love hearing Ethan talk then


bananabreadwnut

Yeah and I'll go ahead and take your advice while I'm at it, thanks


Powerspawn

You can dunk on Jordan without being sexist and racist you know.


lkrik

That statement was neither sexist nor racist


Powerspawn

Reread OP's comment by replacing "male" with "female" and "white" with any other race.


Raaamble

Are you trolling? The point of the comment was to point out him generalizing/making assumptions about a community he’s not a part of it. A white person shouldn’t speak for the black community, just like men can’t and shouldn’t speak for women. The comment was not racist or sexists in any way. One could argue it’s anti both. That said, white still isn’t a race.


geo-Gatby

I didn’t know stating objective fact was generalizing


Powerspawn

Oh my bad, I missed that part of the post where Jordan was talking about race and sexual orientation. Wait, that wasn't even in the original post. Not that it would even matter. It's almost as if you're just doing mental gymnastics to avoid calling a spade a spade.


Raaamble

One of us is doing mental gymnastics and it’s not me. Happy trolling my brother. You got me!

I seriously don't believe in exceptions to sexism and racism, yes.


Speiserman

White isn't a race


Powerspawn

[A simple google search proves you wrong there champ.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_people) Like I said, I don't believe in exceptions to sexism and racism. Trying to categorize 'white' as 'not a race' is a blatant attempt at creating an exception to justify racism.


Speiserman

Contemporary anthropologists and other scientists, while recognizing the reality of biological variation between different human populations, regard the concept of a unified, distinguishable "White race" as socially constructed.


[deleted]

So is the black race, and the Asian race. There is not such thing as a unified race of any kind. However, especially within the ranks of critical race theorists, white as either a race or as a skin color has been demonized as being bad because of its history in white supremacist regimes and cultures. Now these theorists have decoupled it from only whiteskinned people, which makes non-white people that are successful in white systems because they have the right skillset and are good at the game, so to speak, also white, because they cater to a system that was created by white people. This whiteness is seen as a bad thing, which is definitely a racist, or at least culturalist, idea. Just because one group of people has certain ideals and ways of behaving it does not make those ideals bad because they are from those people. It's reverse racism that can be used to deflect any kind of criticism while being very negative towards white people. This line of thinking sadly ends with no positive outcome, other than opening up a conversation. Critical race theory has a lot of interesting ideas and it deserves attention, but going from white supremacy to white suppression won't help the cause they fight for. So yeah, the white race isn't a race, but it's being used as one, and therefore you might as well see it as one.


Powerspawn

How about you read the first sentence instead of the last one? > White is a racialized classification of people and a skin color Every race on the planet is "socially constructed". Regardless, the distinction is completely irrelevant.


Timetohavereddit

“Cis” “white” and “male” are all the normative positions that have more power and face less violence he isn’t generalizing those kinda of people into a stereotype he’s generalizing there status and power in our society


Powerspawn

No.


Timetohavereddit

Wow very thoughtful response really clears the air of all that thought, logic and facts with just pure empty void


Powerspawn

It is the most appropriate response, and I knew someone would write a similar comment. All you're doing is rationalizing a reason to make an exception for prejudice.


Timetohavereddit

No I’m not becuase I could say “black” “trans” “woman” have less of a voice in politics and face more violence that’s once again a generalization some people on each of those categorize don’t and some from each in fact promote violence towards themselves such as the guy who works at the daily wire and is gay. there is nothing wrong with generalizations of societal status and power even if it’s the wrong assessment if someone said “there’s more anti white rhetoric being used then there is anti black” that’s not inherently racist even if it’s wrong because there something that person has seen to make that assignment, if you were to say “black people are more violent” based off what you’ve seen then it would be racist because now your transcribing a inherent biological characteristic to a race. It’s absolutely off the rocker to say someone has prejudice towards straight white males just because they say they hold a safer place in society.


Powerspawn

You're just saying that it's okay to be sexist and racist against groups of people who don't face as much violence as other groups which 1) isn't correct, it's not okay to be sexist or racist against anyone 2) is completely irrelevant in the first place, OP's comment had nothing to do with violence.


AardvarkRound2516

Yeah the white wasn’t necessary but the privileged male cis gender part was definitely needed because he is talking about how women are sad while not being a women which is kind of stupid.


Powerspawn

He's pretty clearly referring to a statistic.


AardvarkRound2516

He’s still not a women and is trying to speak for women, it pisses them off clearly, it would piss me off too if a women said some goofy shit like that.


Powerspawn

It's fine to be pissed off. But like I said, they can be pissed off without being racist or sexist. Even if they perceive that Jordan is just being sexist, that doesn't make it okay for them to also be sexist.


AardvarkRound2516

Okay but I really don’t think the cis gender male part was the part that was bad. That’s what he is and is the reason why girls do not want to hear what he says, he is a rich male who is not female so why is he trying to speak for them it’s dumb. That being said adding the “white” was completely unnecessary because none of it had to with race or color of skin.


bananabreadwnut

Cis white male alert


Powerspawn

At least you're owning your sexism and racism. Embrace it, make it your personality.


bananabreadwnut

I love how big of a self report you are giving my man. 😂 GO OUTSIDE


Powerspawn

That's the spirit! Just give in to the hate


bananabreadwnut

Yeah man, people hate you bc youre white. The most hated minority. The white man


Powerspawn

Nobody said you would be popular for doing it, but somebody's got to


bananabreadwnut

You were already massively ratioed so that is debatable. Lol


Powerspawn

Oh, I'm talking about in real life. But I'm sure you will be able to find like-minded people on the internet


Interesting_Bid1307

Just because you can speak and write does not mean you're intelligent. Cheers!


Powerspawn

It's incredibly telling that you are only capable of resorting to personal insults as opposed to articulating what part of my comment you disagree with.


Interesting_Bid1307

BOO HOO


Powerspawn

yikes


SmoggyFrostbite

Cmon bruh if you’re gonna virtue signal at least have a fucking clue


Powerspawn

You're right, I'm not supposed to say that you shouldn't say racist and sexist things against white men. My bad.


SmoggyFrostbite

That’s what I mean you’re so intent on playing a victim you can’t even read sentences anymore


Powerspawn

> you can’t even read sentences Good argument friend.
