@AzulCrescent @alice I love both these responses for the earnesty of experience expressed

@nycki@critters.gay @midnakrystal@sadbitches.online I made myself a unicorn because I liked the mix of fantasy and real life. Horses are one of my favorite animals for their looks, their smarts, and their lifestyle. I like rabbits for a similar reason but they're different in a lot of ways. Archetypes are fun but I don't care about them as much as the nature. I do struggle with reconciling the physiology of real and fantastical when designing fursonas. I also really like grab bag designs. Unicorns are one of my favorite fantasy creatures.

@revoluciana@chaosfem.tw "I had Male Privilege, here is how it harmed me" is correct "You had Male Privilege? It must of all been sunshine and daisies for you! You can't speak of the harm in my feminist space" is an incorrect use that is inherently counter to feminism and a common tactic of fascists

@revoluciana@chaosfem.tw Either privilege is always conditional, Male Privilege is not a privilege it is something else, or the concept of Male Privilege is not coherent.

@revoluciana@chaosfem.tw Also, it should be said, If a trans person is not always treated with male privilege, then the male privilege itself is conditional. That is part of what makes it so cruel. It is conditional because it was designed to reinforce a system where if you step out of line you are punished. Our genocide is a symptom of it

@revoluciana@chaosfem.tw . . . — Under this concept, Do trans people treated as men receive male privileges? Yes, that is inherent to the concept of Societies which distribute privileges identifying someone as Male Does this benefit trans people? No, that is apparent from the experience of trans people, the origination of the concept, and the fact that the experience of society treating someone as male is not totally uniform. Trans people would fall under the category of people for whom male privilege does not always function as a positive but as a burden, hindrance, harm, or otherwise manifests its negative aspects

@Vordus@chitter.xyz what a lovely phenomena to befall my timeline these days, the enjoyment feels endless

@Bwee@meow.social joy comes in many forms, I like mine vivacious :blobfoxcheer:

@Modernmodron@timetheft.social worm wave

@Loosf@yiff.life it's been lovely to see

@RatFriend@yiff.life sick as fuck industrial style

@revoluciana@chaosfem.tw . . . — What is male privilege? «Peggy McIntosh, one of the first feminist scholars to examine male privilege, wrote about both male privilege and white privilege, using the metaphor of the "invisible knapsack" to describe a set of advantages borne, often unaware and unacknowledged, by members of privileged groups.[1] According to McIntosh, privilege is not a result of a concerted effort to oppress those of the opposite gender; however, the inherent benefits that men gain from the systemic bias put women at an innate disadvantage. The benefits of this unspoken privilege may be described as special provisions, tools, relationships, or various other opportunities. According to McIntosh, this privilege may actually negatively affect men's development as human beings, and few question that the existing structure of advantages may be challenged or changed.[4]» . . . —

@espyeen this is the experience yeah

@MLE_online eureka! what beauty you bring to us today! :bunnyhearts:

@Bwee@meow.social :neoraccoon_hug_dragn_heart:

@jnpojuwan @strflr muito bom very good

@meluzzy@woof.tech 🐇

@Draekos@yiff.life this is amazing, thank you for taking the time to finish and share it. I'm going to share this with so many friends :bunnyhearts: :bunnysmile: :Fire_Trans:

@Skulldog@socel.net It's mind and soul destroyingly frustrating trying to fight to get paid without supporting the worst people you know! Often times we have to compromise or admit defeat bitterly over this

@revoluciana@chaosfem.tw If someone wanted to run a feminist space focusing solely on a specific perspective that would be an act of exclusivity that could produce productive conversations only if it then confers with and integrates other feminist views, and, does not gatekeep Feminism. Feminism includes a lot, is not its parts, it is its whole. That is what it means to be Holistic and Intersectional

@mavica_again@computerfairi.es it feels deader than before to me but the connections I do have still are stronger than before

@revoluciana@chaosfem.tw What you are taking issue with, is the very concept itself

@revoluciana@chaosfem.tw Examine what the problems of the concept are, and frame them

@tinker They police so much of what is reality

@toutesdesfemmes Continuez le bon combat, camarades! ✊:Fire_Trans:

@revoluciana@chaosfem.tw Identification with and belonging to a group is more nuanced than labels. What is a privilege? «Etymology From Middle English privilege, from Anglo-Norman privilege and Old French privilege, from Latin prīvilēgium (“ordinance or law against or in favor of an individual”), from prīvus (“private”) + lēx, lēg- (“law”). (countable) A particular benefit, advantage, or favor; a right or immunity enjoyed by some but not others; a prerogative, preferential treatment. [from 10th c.] Synonyms: franchise, immunity, prerogative, right, (Scotland, Northern England) freelage All first-year professors here must teach four courses a term, yet you're only teaching one! What entitled you to such a privilege?» . . . —

@revoluciana@chaosfem.tw What bothers me and many others is the tendency in feminist spaces to consider male / female or women / men along the binary dichotomy, that is Cisgender Privilege in the sense that to be able to only ever think in that binary one has to have never been challenged by it or have agreed to it despite its conditionality. And it is especially harmful to be denied consideration as male / female or women / men when someone has it as part of their experience. Spaces like these are inherently exclusionary and non-intersectional. They perpetuate harms that Feminism is meant to counter

@imp3tuz hell yeah!

@masklayer@slime.global yay

@fluffy this

@what@chaosfem.tw It's how Silicon Valley sounded trying to get computers to replace typewriters. It's never about using technology to help. It's always about profits and scams at the expense of us

@petras@mas.to wabi sabi

@sundogplanets And this it why we need collective action to hold the perpetrators accountable with a community reinforced accountability mechanism We're losing our damn skies!

@midnakrystal@sadbitches.online And that is part of why so many artists struggle. Even if we have platforms now, they so often restrict us to our severe detriment and our friends detriment and leave us isolated and alone to figure out own networking out despite the promises they make constantly to do it for us, they're just capitalist scum exploiting us

@tully this

@deersyrup@yiff.life It's been 26 years since he said that

@lilahglitch@babka.social lol

To use technology you can not create, modify, or own is to use something that can never be a part of your soul, it is alienating Humans are meant to bond with machines and machines are meant to be a part of us. If a machine is autonomous it becomes alienated from us. If a machine is controlled by others it is alienated from us. Machines for us, by us produce the most profound joy, love, reflection of ourselves, our goals, our struggles.

@revoluciana@chaosfem.tw If someone uses Male Privilege in order to dismiss sacrifices it is creating a new semantic use as a way of dismissing instead of using it as a term for a sociological phenomena. If someone says that they have sacrificed so it is wrong to say they have Male Privilege it would likewise be a new semantic use that dismisses the sociological phenomena. The original definition and semantic use as crafted. Would suggest that Male Privilege must simultaneously exist as a complex sociological phenomena alongside other things instead of being used as a cudgel outside its originated context. It is a term as defined originally that is meant to explore how a set of conditional benefits exploits and harms many people to reinforce a Patriarchal System. If trans people have Male Privilege as originally defined, it would follow that trans people are being harmed when they have Male Privilege and that the term could be used to label and explore that harm.

@cadey@pony.social what happened? :bunnyshock:

@Ultranidd@yiff.life such a cute puppy :bunnyhearts:
