they work to make the uber feminists feel better about themselves. any thing else-they are just as effective OR NOT, as the originals
but as i said, it is not just this silly thing that is the problem, but the growing idea of 'payback' by any formerly oppressed group on the oppressor that is a bad sign of things NEVER being healed.
Sure, but uber feminists are a minority politically. I am all for the part of feminism which calls for pervy sexually aggressive men to be outed and/or jailed. I have seen many of those types in public and in the workplace, and wondered how they get away with what they do. The bolded part, I disagree. Formerly oppressed
groups are actually the VAST majority of Americans, and that includes women. The oppressor in mostly all cases is straight, white, protestant Christian males. It is unfair that all straight white males are being blamed, but that is something that has been happening to members of other groups for decades. One is bad, and the whole group unfairly pays the price socially. Healing cannot begin without identifying where the pain is coming from and why.
this payback/revenge idea is no better from the religious 'eye for an eye' adage. revenge never does one thing to advance the cause of a better human condition
It came from family and social morality before it was part of religion. It is the principle behind Karma, and also our justice system. I agree with the idea that people who commit crimes or intentionally inflict pain (social or physical) resulting in mass suffering should be brought to justice and punished in the severest of ways. When we put people in prison or execute them for crimes, is that "revenge"? In the US, those who commit crimes are not always brought to justice because the system favors them (cops, politicians, members of certain groups). Getting out of prosecution still leaves a debt of Karma that has to be paid one way or another.
social and cultural education, including all peoples and their cultures, must be done from an early age instead
Agreed. But I think that parents and communities should be allowed to do this for their children, not the system. The system is now infected with SJW agendas, and the educators include individuals I personally think are unfit to be teaching children. I see schoolbooks which qualify more as propaganda programs than curriculum that should be part of an education.
Just a mention....this is drifting into politics.
