That is so ffn cute I just want to hug the stuffing outta them.
You forgot the part about MRAs spouting toxic, regressive bull.
But we should just ignore how you did the exact same thing regarding feminism?Perfect example. Outrage without substance or fact.
A lot of workers don't feel it's their job to help the business stay in business. Everyone hates the boss while wanting to be the boss. Worker2business and business2worker loyalty is at a historical low imo.Also, if there are no workers, there are no business owners. We're all in this together. Just sayin'.![]()

But is all employment unduly oppressive? And in turn-about: is expecting money from a stranger oppressive? I think millions of people work in relatively unoppressive situations beyond the mere "having to show up and do something" aspect. The guy I hire when I ship motorcycles is very glad to show up - then again, I treat my help pretty good. Good pay($15/hr. cash), cold beers and a meal afterwards. But yeah - things are done my way or the highway. It's never came to that in 3 years - occasionally we implement one of his ideas but we remember who is actually responsible for the successful completion of the work. That would be me. The guy who hires me to do the shipping isn't oppressive either - demanding but not oppressive.Oppression rarely breeds anything other than animosity.
Agreed - but symbiotic doesn't mean equal. . . someone needs to be in charge. The symbiotic trade is work & time exchanged for money. Many people seem to think getting hired means they get a vote.Which is kind of my point. Both employers and employees should realize that they're in a mutually benefitial symbiotic relationship.
Not quite. Man=rapist is a core part of feminist doctrine, not a generalization of feminism. Programs to teach men how not to rape are widely institutionalized in schools everywhere in the US and Canada. In actuality they are nothing more that brainwashing exercises, designed to denigrate masculinity and make men feel guilty for simply being men.
Easier to tear someone else down than lift yourself up.
Also easier when you are anonymous.
