  • Modern Leftism

    From Daniel@1:340/7 to All on Sun Sep 6 20:13:00 2020
    Of all the critical issues involving today's primitive leftist movement, one
    of the more disturbing trends is an unbridled and unapologetic growth of raw sexism among their ranks.

    Ranking as one of the best retorts to a flagrant sexist I've ever heard, I couldn't help but re-watch that clip a number of times while laughing
    hardily. Despite the humor, this video served as inspiration to post my concerns.

    Now, it seems, sexism is perfectly kosher. According to the left, there is simply nothing wrong with generalizing people on their sexual identity. How on Earth did we get here? Was it in the schools? I'm in my forties yet my education
    taught that sexism is bad regardless of the victim. Or do we blame the legacy press for lending this disgusting trend credance by refusing the smallest morsel
    of condemnation? It may come from different directions. We've been sort of conditioned to accept sexism toward males throughout media. For years, I've witnessed a commercial where the characters of the advertisement will denegrate
    the 'husband' as a fool while the 'wife' is portrayed as the all-knowing. It's usually spun in a humorous way to reduce the bite of insult. If I didn't know any better, my mind would look at this as a years long campaign to make sexism acceptable. And imagine that... We had a few solid decades where these issues were largely solved. Now, thanks to the collective primitive mind of the left, sexism has returned in full force.

    For women joining combat roles, it seemed high time for it to become reality. celebrated it internally when I read the news of policy changes. It was short-lived, however. Stories came out where fitness requirements were lowered to accomodate these changes in policy. Sexism isn't over after all. It's just covered in a different veneer. A true acceptance of women in combat roles
    would even the requirments across the board. All members would pass muster knowing that they operated on even ground. I can't imagine things going well in
    the long run. The military is really only a small example of today's cultural swing, but it is relevant.

    As far as I'm concerned, this is all perpetrated by the feminist movement with supported by men who'll say nearly anything to win the approving nod from wife/girlfriend/professor. It has decayed to a point that feminism IS sexism.

    I hope, at some point, our culture will catch up to this critical issue in society and fix it.

    You're totally right! And racism works the same way. I hope that these violent protesters will someday realize that they are generalizing police, the Trump administration, white people, christians, and that they're throwing us all under the bus when 99% of us didn't do jack to deserve this.

    Concerns? What concerns?

    Now, it seems, sexism is perfectly kosher.

    Of course it is. Accepted by most, on both the left and the right.

    For women joining combat roles, it seemed high time for it to become
    reality. I celebrated it internally when I read the news of policy changes. It was
    short-lived, however. Stories came out where fitness requirements were
    lowered to accomodate these changes in policy. Sexism isn't over after all. It's just covered in a different veneer. A true acceptance of women in

    things going well in the long run. The military is really only a small example of today's cultural swing, but it is relevant.

    The military does not have a problem with women serving in uniform.
    Why should any other employers? Those who believe a woman's role in
    society is to be barefoot and pregnant forever are fossils from the
    past.

    with supported by men who'll say nearly anything to win the approving nod from wife/girlfriend/professor. It has decayed to a point that feminism IS sexism.

    Thomas Jefferson wrote "all men are created equal" meaning "all white
    men owning property" are equal, without regard to women or blacks or
    anybody else. Society has come a long way since those days. So has
    this country, which is far different from what Thomas Jefferson could
    ever imagine.

    I hope, at some point, our culture will catch up to this critical issue in
    society and fix it.

    Of course we will fix it. That is what is meant by the words "in order
    to create a more perfect union." All inclusive, excluding no one.

    ~ Dr. Frank 'N' Furter

    Let's not forget about transgenderism.
    While there are more women in the work force,
    and more women voters than men, along with
    sexual orientation becoming a non-issue for
    most people, transgenderism remains taboo.
    That needs to change.

    Some will, most won't. There's a growing list of evidence that this is highly orchestrated in an attempt to subvert our system and knock down the US.

    I've seen plenty of signs saying 'Death to America' during these 'protests.'

    I wouldn't call these violent thugs protesters. It gives protesters a bad name.
