It’s a general statement, I’m making a point it’s clearly not all men are that way

They didn’t say all men btw

They generalized men. I’m sure women don’t like being generalized

So men are unable to have feelings or have them be hurt?

If this hurt your feelings you’re the problem idk

i’m being so fr if my post hurt your feelings so bad you’re saying things like this you really really need to grow up

I am certainly not saying that, I am curious about your logic though. It is universally accepted for people to be hurt by generalizations, no matter gender, race, religion, etc. stereotypes off all sorts are harmful in us all being equal

Anonymous #3 1d

it’s also universally accepted for adults to be able to shrug things off that don’t apply to them omgggggg

Those people are either minorities (which means the generalizations are discriminatory) or unintelligent.

I’m Italian and if someone says “I feel like Italians are so loud” I’m not gonna get upset and be like “b-b-b-but I’m not loud!!!” I’m just gonna say “you’re so right” and move on

What is wrong with me just wanting to engage in a conversation? Didn’t you post that on here fore that reason?

The point is all people live complex lives and putting them in a box due to their gender is unfair. We should all be on the same team not trying to get even

You didn’t get put into a box, though.

The OP essentially inferred that men have inferiority complexes, I’m less so concerned with the sex part. Im sure we can agree that there are plenty of men out there who have that, but similarly it would be like me saying ‘women are too emotional’. It is an unfair representation of an entire gender and all I’m saying is we shouldn’t try to generalize one another

Then don’t compare it to if a man said it about a woman

Do you or do you not believe in equality

Personal belief and societal understanding are two different things

1

Anonymous lightbluehater 1d

So what is your personal belief?

1

Anonymous #3 1d

honestly if you really wanted to split hairs you’d have to argue that men who are weird about toys are the ones i’m saying have an inferiority complex. if you’re not weird about them it doesn’t apply to you

Anonymous #3 1d

That men and women are equal

Anonymous OP 1d

I actually agree on your point about sex toys. But the conversation is clearly underlined by a larger societal issue

Anonymous #3 1d

if you try and say men are oppressed im blocking you lol

That is my belief too. And I think that our feelings are of equal value. I believe that we should do our best to be fair to one another and not discredit someone’s personhood. That’s where I’m coming from with generalizations

Huh? Not at all

You’re not getting the full picture. There’s too much historical and societal context that goes into every interaction we have

I am not discrediting oppression throughout human history in any way, but social context is not needed for a humanistic approach. If all human lives are of equal value we should treat them accordingly

Anonymous OP 1d

That’s what I’ve been getting at this whole time

no you’ve been acting like generalizations are equal no matter what 😭

That makes no sense. I’m saying generalizations no matter the context are harmful

No but we do not have to perpetuate the harm

and we can also acknowledge that all harm isn’t equal. the concepts aren’t mutually exclusive

Well of course but why try to cause harm in the first place if it can be helped?

Anonymous #3 1d

can i be so fucking fr bc i made a yikyak post in 15 seconds that i didn’t think anyone would care about. and honestly i didn’t think anyone would really give a shit about the generalization of men being sensitive about sex (something that has never been used to oppress them) or having inferiority complexes about toys (which you agreed with 😭😭)

Anonymous OP 1d

I feel like these conversations are important though because men and women lack empathy for one another in our society today

1

Anonymous #3 1d

im ngl the fact you couldn’t understand than generalizations about men and women are different bc of current + historical oppression makes me very hesitant about you saying this

2

Anonymous OP 1d

I just find it interesting that me saying we shouldn’t try to harm or generalize one another to begin with is somehow a bad thing

1

Anonymous #3 1d

no one was disagreeing with that, we just pointed out that it’s incorrect to say all harm is equal. yes generalizations hurt everyone, but it’s the difference between a hangnail vs getting your arm chopped off. also please don’t act dumb, you were in the convo even longer than i was. you KNOW no one was arguing that

Anonymous OP 1d

And where did I say all harm is equal?You’re putting words in my mouth. Certain generalizations are absolutely more harmful, but that doesn’t means other people’s hurts should be minimized
