Has political correctness actually gone mad?

The article addresses that. They “moved her to safety” but called her “monsieur” (like calling her sir) and told her “not to dress like that”

Assuming they didn’t hear what was being said she looked like the person who initiated a physical confrontation in that video, so not really all that weird.

Ah ok, cheers
 
Religion hasn’t been relevant in a long time, but it wasn’t until YouTube blew up that they really lost. Religion relies on brainwashing people, and you cannot brainwash people if everyone is connected.

Anyway, remember how a decade ago, almost everyone believed that the wage gap was a real thing? Nowadays there is so much information on the internet to debunk this 77 cents to the dollar theory. Only clueless fools believe in that feminist propaganda now.
That link has absolutely no relevance to any of the points you are trying to make. It doesn't mention YouTube, or or the Internet or gives any real reason why religion is declining, just that it is. No one is disputing that anyway.

I certainly am disputing the claim that religion is declining globally.One assumes that Youtube exists outside of the West.

Ho ho I strongly disagree with that statement.

I bet far more people believe that women are paid unequally to men now than did 10 years ago, given the amount the media tries to hammer that pseudo-economics down everyone's throats. Damn the airlines. Damn them all to hell.
Well despite the media being very pro-feminism, by far the vast majority of women still don't identify themselves as feminist.

The media can only lie and brainwash people so much. There is an infinite source of information on the internet that debunks feminist claims.

This political correctness movement is just a religion for young people. Religion in the Western world was destroyed in the late 2000s and early 2010s when YouTube blew up. This PC movement will also be destroyed by the internet, because like religious people, SJWs can't actually defend their ideas in a debate with logic, so they rely on censorship.

The nice thing about the internet is that in the end, the truth always prevails.

There are a few places on the net that, as far as I know, have no censorship.
There's 8chan (not 4chan's pol, which bans discussions about some anime apparently), gab, and live comments on illegal football streams. You are right that there are no "SJWs" in those places. I do doubt that any "truth" has prevailed in them.

What precisely is the difference between "I support women's rights and equality" and I identify as a feminist? The former is literally the definition of the latter.
One would hope the media is pro woman's rights and equality, in the same way I'd prefer it not to be anti-semitic, racist or pro-paedophilia.

Why do you think so few women identify as feminist, despite the fact that almost all of them believe in equal rights?

Maybe feminists needs some self-reflection.

The word feminist literally means someone who believes in equal rights. It's the literal fecking definition of the word.
Why do you think that is? What are they saying over on 8chan?
Is it because evil feminists are out of control and need slapped down?

People tend to judge other people by their actions, not by their words.

Eg. feminists can claim to be all about equality, but if their actions suggest otherwise, people won't support them.

That's why few women identify as feminist, despite the fact that almost all of them believe in equality.

um excuse me sir, me and info are truth warriors from youtube don't sully us with an association to the filth at 8chan, have you watched 3 hours a day of saargon of akkad talking directly to the camera? didn't think so that why you're so brainwashed

That guardian article seems to link a rise to simple population increases in Asian countries where most of the population identify with the religious majority group. It doesn't really disprove the other link.

I've no issue with the other link, if that's addressed at me.

What's your explanation to why few women identify as feminist, despite the fact that the majority believe in equality? Why does this disparity exist?

"The median pay gap is calculated by comparing the difference in pay between the middle-ranking woman and middle-ranking man in the same companies."

How many hours did the men work compared to the women?
How much overtime did men work compared to women?
How many sick days did men take compared to women?
How many holidays did men take compared to women?

By pushing equal pay on two groups of people who don't work at the same rate, you will do nothing but encourage companies to hire more men and fewer women.
 
What's your explanation to why few women identify as feminist?
that's always been the case kid, from the inception to now - feminists have had a specific role in society and it's about activism not identity, in the 1920s they were thought of as lesbian spinsters to now where they're apparently trying to men second class citizens

Why do feminists still have a negative image attached to them, despite the fact that the media puts them in a very favorable light?

Maybe their actions speak louder than words?

I don't know what you're talking about, I'm on your side. Fox news has reliably informed me that feminists were lesbian spinsters in the 1920s and that they're trying to make men second class citizens now. I refuse to watch the lower rated fake news media friend.

Because the word "feminist" now carries negative baggage, when someone uses that term they open themselves up to be pre judged and many of their points aren't taken seriously. A woman or man can believe in equality of the sexes But putting a label (especially a label that regularly gets the piss taken out of it by comedians) is counter productive to the views they hope to share.

I can see an increasing trend from the 80s onwards, and in the graphs that cross 2010 (youtube), the trend holds, but it doesn't accelerate like would be expected from your theory.
 
People tend to judge other people by their actions, not by their words.

Eg. feminists can claim to be all about equality, but if their actions suggest otherwise, people won't support them.

What feminist actions are you referring to? Feminist is a view point. A basic ethical position. If a feminists actions are not about equality of the sexes then by definition that is not a feminist position.

I'll reiterate, and by the way as an aside I am absolutely judging you by your words, feminism literally means belief in sexual equality. I assume there's something about that you don't like?

Also as a further aside, that wasn't an example to support your point after your eg, it was just rephrasing your first sentence.

I'd love to know what precisely the creators of that poll you cited meant be having a category regarding identifying as feminist and another category which was literally a definition of feminism.

I'd argue that phrases can become loaded with meaning and that lots of women might not describe themselves as feminist as it is somehow seen as a militant position. I'd argue that is at least partly due to people like yourself demonising a frankly inoffensive term and entirely reasonable view point. I can't understand how any person cannot be feminist. Who thinks sexual equality is bad?

And isn't replicated globally, where Youtube exists, suggesting other factors are behind the growth of atheism in the West.

A movement is defined by its people.

Feminism is covered overwhelmingly in a positive light, and people still don't buy it.

It always has, wee babies like you probably don't even remember the disgusting vandalism of our great social institutions from the past. These women need to be stopped before we're all in chains and our society is irreparably poisoned.

No it isn't counter productive. It's a short cut to understanding their view point. That's what words are for.

Who is to blame for that?
 
I think these days most people associate the word feminist with those fuzzy legged, blue haired land whales you see moaning about mansplaining. I guess a group is usually defined by its most radical faction, and this is no different. They probably don’t want anything to do with that.

I have no idea what's funny?
Which movement? There are many different movements with feminist ideologies.
Being a feminist does not even mean you have to be politically active.
One would hope feminism is covered in an overwhelmingly positive light. Equality is a positive thing.
You don't "buy it"? Is that equality you don't buy then? Be clear on your position.

Agreed and that's a bad thing when the position of equality of sexes is surely shared by most people.
 
No it isn't counter productive. It's a short cut to understanding their view point. That's what words are for.
Labels carry preconceived notions and ideas that are removed from what the label carrier means. The word feminist has a defined meaning in the dictionary yet it means something different to ignorant that's which is why some people don't like using the label.

I myself very much believe in jihad and want everyone to strive towards it, I would call myself a jihadist, yet ky understanding of the term is very very much different to the understanding of the term that Joe bloggs might have, so instead of using the term jihadist I would rather communicate my ideas without using the term because then the reciever might entertain my ideas instead if thinking "hmm jihadi... This muzzie psycho wants to blow himself up".
 
You don't "buy it"? Is that equality you don't buy then? Be clear on your position.
People aren't buying the claim that feminism is about equality, because their actions show the contrary.

For instance, in Canada, the largest feminist group voted against equal child custody rights, because the mother must be the priority.

You can prance and claim that feminism is all about equality, but if your actions speak otherwise, people will catch on soon enough.
 
I know wage gap stuff has been done to death on CE, but if you want a concrete example from the BBC's weekly dose of pay gap irrelevance you linked:

The former might say that there isn't a wage gap, there's a largely innocuous earnings gap.

The latter might say that there's a wage gap something something patriarchy something something victimised and they're clocking off 3 hours early in protest because of all the poor women out there taking home 70p in the pound.
Yes, this thread is derailed enough but that is hardly a definitive study I linked to. I was just trying to demonstrate that linking to isolated articles is easy and doesn't hugely help make points.

There is plenty of evidence that a gender pay gap exists, and representation of women at senior level in companies is poor especially in certain industries.

Happy to take this up in another thread if you're really bored.

At least you're not even pretending you're about equality.
