What's on your mind? (63)

Yes, this is the event that spurred many atheists to take note on feminism and begin to encounter it's ugly messages.

I remember this event well.

Sadly it's what eventually led me to discovering tumblr.

The ugly messages of Dawkins or the ugly messages of feminism?

I really need to hold my tongue here.

 

[Jupiter Drops]

Yeah.
Too bad that's all Gandhi saw back then from Christians. Definitely not those who sacrificed their lives to open orphanages and schools and spread the gospel while having knives swinging around their necks.

So are these faux liberals some sort of conservative?

No... Well...
It's hard to say because everyone's different.

Dawkins, feminism, and tumblr doesn't sound like they would all mix very well.

 

[scraparcs]

Okay, so faux liberals are like RINOs. I'm more familiar with the idea of people being insufficiently conservative.

Feminism, elevator-gate..

It opened many of our eyes to how crazy and out of touch many feminists are.

^
^ More or less.
Some faux liberals have their double standards and love to suck on 'special privileges' like leeches.

 

[MehGuy]

Sometimes I worry I am a faux liberal.

I do have my kink shaming moments.. pretty bad considering how I'll berate anyone who dares to criticize s/m, yet when it comes to other things I have a hard time caring..

 

[scraparcs]

I've never been in an environment where liberalism was prized. I'm used to people trying to be more conservative than one another, but nobody wants to be seen as liberal. The idea of liberalism being so prized that being more liberal than another is a good thing is utterly alien.

As for the Dawkins/feminism saga, making lecherous comments in an elevator is creepy as all get out and it would freak me out. Has he ever been a woman in an elevator alone with a lecherous guy?

 

[Jupiter Drops]

Dawkins and that feminist activist seem to maul over the same thing except they're both on the opposite ends of the border.
Either way, stupid, petty argument.

 

[scraparcs]

Sounds like things have gotten a bit more quarrelsome than the introductory page seems to lay out. Oh well, I'm more interested in sleep. At my age, staying up past midnight is a thing of the past.

The problem of liberalism is itself.
Everyone has their own views and it's accepted because that's what being liberal is. But it's not like everyone's going to agree because there is no unifying point.

There are Gen Y'ers these days who prize liberalism. Yet all I hear are hate talks even though they say they're 'liberals.' It's annoying, to be honest.

I've never been in an elevator alone with a lecherous guy. But I've been harassed by lecherous creeps in public.

I know I have an 8 O'clock class, but this waking up at 4 in the morning is crazy.

What do you do for 4 hours?

 

[The Ginger]

Go to the Dining Hall and eat breakfast, get ready, look over my notes. Stuff like that.

 

[Nanopants]

Conservatives? Liberals? They all sound like idealists to me, idealism being a code word for a departure from reality.

I'd vote for a third party, if it wasn't guaranteed to be wasted. Beyond that, corporate interests back both parties so, meh. Pick whatever icing you want on the cake.

 

[Saucy]

I don't know why I'm up so early...

That was me about 6 hours ago when I woke up a 4 .

Sounds like you don't care.

Trust me, more people will be voting third party as they get fed up with what's going on in our government.

 

[The Ginger]

Your not kidding. There isn't much to choose from the two major parties.
