        Lmfao, of course *you * think you shouldn’t have to. But you do! You asked why, to explain it to you, I need to understand what you’re struggling with.

        You refusing to say the quiet part out loud just confirms to me what I knew from that first comment - that you’re not genuinely interested, and that I have better things to waste my time on than on providing an education to someone who clearly doesn’t want it.

          If I make a meme which asserts that a giant Blahaj in the sky controls the American government, and you call it into question, is the burden of proof on you to explain what it is about the meme you don’t understand, or on me to show you why I believe it’s true?

            You have put very little to no effort into your why question, and it was very effective at making the op mad, so if your goal was trolling I suppose it was effective.

            If you are serious, then you don’t have a good grasp of intersectionality and it isn’t ops responsibility to teach you… Particularly when you are aggressive about your lack of knowledge being a good place to argue from.

      I think we first need to define “failed….” The cat’s been out of the bag on both of these issues for a while now. Racism and misogyny will still be around, but the pushback from the past makes it kind of hard to believe that we’ll all just go back to the standards of the 1800’s or something…

        So you’re claiming racism and sexism are what, an inevitable part of (white male) human nature we just have to put up with, while you get on with your oppressing? Yet if I said men are shit I guarantee you’d reply with “not all men”… Gtfoh you racist sexist ass.

          …what? That’s not at all the point I was trying to make

          I meant that ever since humanity started to grow more aware of the fact that racism and sexism can be so damaging, that that knowledge is kind of hard to forget or bury, and I don’t believe that either one of them will go back to the “dark ages” of the 1800’s. So with that in mind, especially with the internet available, what constitutes as racism or sexism reforms “failing?” Is it failure to achieve perfect extermination of these outdated ideals? Or is it something more extreme, like society undoing changes that have already been made towards rights and awareness?

          Full disclosure: I am a US citizen, so much of my knowledge on racist and sexist societal reforms are framed with this in mind, I can’t speak to other countries

        Until then, get out of the way and let the person I was replying to explain to me why they see an issue with this post.
