Political Memes

The Metoo movement didn't even scratch the surface. Every single grown women I have had the privilege to talk to has been sexually assaulted in their lifetime. My wife, my mother, and now my daughters.

The backlash from the Metoo movement has been insane. Cops, prosecutors, and judges have ensured that there will be no justice. The President is a damn child rapist for Christ's sake. We are absolutely fucked when it comes to gender inequality.

Still waiting for the Equal Rights Amendment to be ratified.

There's proof Matt Gaetz paid a teenager for sex, and literally nothing was done.

Yup, post is 100% correct, gender inequality is all around us. It's even in the thread with us right now.

The only person serving time for a global conspiracy to rape children is a woman.

She's a terrible woman who deserves it, but it's still telling.

I don't think anyone is arguing gender inequality doesn't exist. Also this is class/power issue not a gender issue.

This one is an issue of class, not gender.

There are women in the Epstein files too, nothing happen to them either.

This is a class problem not a sex problem

There are high society women involved with Epstein too and none of them have been held accountable. In fact the only woman to receive a punishment just got moved to a min security prison and was given a puppy. Stop using heinous shit to push your agenda

Im not sure this is the double standard you think it is. Women who are in the epstein files also seem to be getting off pretty easily.

Not as easily as they would with fresh slave children to rape, but easily.

Look, we live in a complex world where there are 2 sexes for human beings, with some people having traits of both to varying degrees, that leads to physiological, hormonal, genetic, and neurological differences that make every person unique and therefore we will not have a world that treats everyone fairly or equally as that would be close to impossible. What we do have is the mental capacity to cooperate and learn and trying to blame sex or gender for differences when there is a more obvious cause for the issue, wealth disparity, then that is the problem. In gender terms male, female or other, sexual orientation, or whatever we have seen time and time again that rich assholes get away with things for a very long time, in recent times you've had Ellen degeneres (abusing employees), Trump (need I elaborate?), Epstein (see trump), Harvey Weinstein, almost every politician above a certain level, and all sorts of people with social standing, power, or money able to get away with small things at first then escalating until the foundation of their reputation collapses, and maybe they are able to come back from that or maybe not. If you look on the lowest rungs of the pay scale I would assume there is sexual harassment or holding of pay raises from managers against their poorest employees but the poorest still make the same. Are there societal or biological incentives that means a woman makes more in tips as a waitress then a waiter I'd say yes and those factors also play into men probably grouping together to help move up in corporate jobs historically. I can tell you right here and now though that the richest people on earth do not need you to help some of them get pay parity with others when they both make millions or times more than you will in your life, or neither of the men or women at the top will likely ever spend time in anything other than a low security prison after bilking people of their retirement savings if they see jail time at all, and going into war of the sexes or race war territory is the easiest way they can divide us. Yes finding ways of making inequality lesser is a good thing, just don't let it be a tool of separation and division against ourselves when unity is most needed.

It's always enlightening to see every time a post about sexism make the front page of Lemmy how many people in the comments argue that sexism isn't an actual problem.

It’s crazy how accountability seems to depend on who you are, not what you did.

my personal lifehack is posting my own nudes publicly on mastodon so there's nothing to leak 😎

this is not about sex. it is about money.

i remember the 2016 race when identity politics were used as a wedge issue to break up class consciousness

This isn't a gender inequality issue. The problem is the Epstein class, not the Epstein gender.

I'm tired boss
