rof Houston is not in Mexico.
Rationalize all you like, it's still misogyny.
No, I am saying there are societal and historical factors that play into it.
Women At Work The Gender Wage Gap
That should show how the discrepancies are a lot smaller and are due to choices made by women to work in fields that often pay less or are more "charitable" fields there are many reasons why there is still a small gap, but 'discrimination' is not one of them.
What the F does Houston have to do with me?
I am in the heart of Cartel Country.
I can assure you I am the minority here.
Did you read the letters? His wife was actually fighting for women to vote, but agreed with John by the end of the letters.
If the only thing that matters is feelings, which seems to be the case here, why is one groups feelings more important than another's?
How is experience a 'discriminating' factor?
Did you post the letters?
Women agree with wearing burkas too. That doesn't change that it's misogynistic.
Calling the Braves the "Bravos" is not about a PC thing. It's like calling the 49ers the Niners.
"Gringo" was brought up because of a restaurant chain in Houston.
No, but they are well known. John Adams and his wife talked about voting rights and women in a whole series of letters to each other. It was actually a pretty good debate, but his reasons had nothing to do with the fact they were women and she was a smart enough person to see and understand that.
Societal and historical factors. When were white men oppressed in this country?
No, but they are well known. John Adams and his wife talked about voting rights and women in a whole series of letters to each other. It was actually a pretty good debate, but his reasons had nothing to do with the fact they were women and she was a smart enough person to see and understand that.
And it is used universally by Mexicans to disparage whites. I hear it all the time.
Are you saying I cannot be disparaged because I am white even though I am the minority?
The Washington ****s has a nice ring to it. :lol:
Women hold a minority status sociologically because of the history of their treatment. We actually documented in our Constitution the evidence of our social misogyny. Even today, we see that they do not represent their demographics in elected office and on average they earn less money than men do for the same job.
No, I didn't say it was okay. I said it is not the same.
Explain to me the connection between actions from long ago and words today.
If it were actions today I could see your point, but not words.
If it's a slur, you may want to call them up and tell them they're slurring themselves. It doesn't bother me, but clearly the word bothers you. How about educating them?
I never exterminated anyone. Who did you exterminate?
Who's CB?
Yup. And if we want to continue that, all we need to do is be butt hurt and whiny and victims and all upset over trivial things and victims and hypersensitive about any slight to ensure that nobody sees us as ordinary citizens with the same capabilities and character and abilities and emotional stability and personal toughness as anybody else.
If Native Americans/Indians want to be seen as different and more vulnerable et al than everybody else, one way to make sure they retain that image is to make something like changing the name of the Washington Redskins really REALLY important and necessary.
Same difference.
Alright, so now that your first argument (because members of the race use it, it's not derogatory) has been completely exposed as ridiculous. You've shifted gears into a snarky "Well you should go tell them!" - Why should I? People are educated every single day about the use of this word and its historical implications. Hell, it was exposed so easy all it took were other examples of a race using racist institutions, vocabulary and infrastructure without really understanding the social and cultural and implications that come along with their usage.
So now you've shifted it into... well "I never exterminated anyone". Nobody claimed you had. I simply pointed out the incredible irony and self serving bs mentality that is required for praising the "fighting spirit" of a people that were exterminated while being called redskins. Specially when the praising comes in the form of naming a football team.... that makes money off a highly fictionalized account of Native American cultures..... the "Redskins".
Don't ever go to the U.K. Your head will explode. :lol:
I wouldn't expect you to understand the nuance.
