Remember ladies: Even though the vast majority of white women are poor working class and in service jobs I saw the show Desperate Housewives once so I can confirm that you are actually a rich wine mom that somehow benefits from the system even though said system is a patriarchy that considers you less than human. Girl bosses exist so sexism isn't real anymore. You are not oppressed. I am very smart :very-intelligent:
EDIT: I am 100% directing this at misogynists and am fully aware that BIPOC do not benefit from being white in the same way white women do. I cannot speak on behalf of BIPOC and am venting about people using the existence of wine moms and Karens as an excuse to be sexist from my own experiences as someone who was born white, poor and AFAB. I acknowledge that I benefit from being white.
Is it bad that this is something I just fucking say when I'm sitting alone
I just am sitting alone and then my brain is like "women be shoppin'" nd then I say it
Love having my entire personality decided for me based on the genitals I was born with
I think it's one of those phrases my brains decides to say like "bow-fry french ties" from a spongebob TYP from like 2011
Sometimes I can hear Brace Belden saying that in my head
No it's me embarrassing myself by being passive aggressive about sexism
i am a rich wine mom :shrug-outta-hecks: (rich as in diabetes from drinking too much wine)
I agree somewhat
The last 5 years of internet white males have agreed that it's okay to make fun of white women but not white men
I can confirm that you are actually a rich wine mom that somehow benefits from the system even though said system is a patriarchy that considers you less than human
this is completely false, they absolutely benefit from the system. Just less than white men
The last 5 years of internet white males have agreed that it’s okay to make fun of white women but not white men
Women being depicted as angry, screeching, hysterical, crazy, dumb b*tches has been used by men for thousands of years to justify everything from beatings to lobotomies. It's not just the last 5 years
this is completely false, they absolutely benefit from the system. Just less than white men
This is true, and I apologise for my ignorance there.
somehow benefits from the system even though said system is a patriarchy
It’s not just the patriarchy, though. That’s the thing. The system isn’t just “somehow” supposed to benefit white women. It’s designed it benefit all white people, regardless of gender or class.
I agree with your message that sometimes people act misogynist towards women and try to hide it behind “white women”.
But that criticism can only be made of white men. BIPOC people have numerous, numerous criticisms of white women and white feminism who have benefited from racial oppression, which is also in inherently tied to class btw. White women are richer than BIPOC people, on average. Whether you choose BIPOC people in the West or people in the Global South. How did that become a thing?
You should edit your post to add a clarification about this point.
I agree with you and I will edit my post to reflect that. Sorry.
It’s not just the patriarchy, though.
kyriarchy or whatever. I think some lady wrote a book about it. I skimmed the wikipedia page and went "yeah makes sense".
From a cis white guy to other cis white guys: please be VERY cautious before calling out white women as Karens or "privileged white girls" or whatever. Ya those people do exist, but it can be really toxic and often wrong to throw these terms around as go to rebuttals for white women.
existence of wine moms and Karens as an excuse to be sexist
Yes I've seen this. I feel like it comes from chuds more, but who knows maybe I'm wrong and left guys do it too.
