Yes, exactly.

Although I will agree with you that there are women out there that feel as though they are 'owed' something due to the historical treatment of women.

Not really. I'm referring to women enjoying the benefits they get from having others do the work for them.

Trying to argue that they can't enjoy this without some overarching control is just reinforcing the idea that women can't think for themselves.

Good job doing your part to reinforce the idea that women should be treated like children.

That’s not what I am saying. Women and men can rise above those expectations. It’s called feminism.

No, it's not. It's called autonomy.

“men good, women bad”

Wrong. I never said nor implied anything like this.

You described an aspect of patriarchy as it effects both women’s expectations of men and men’s expectations of women.

It's an aspect of the patriarchy, but it stems from consumerism and greed.

you use terms that accurately describe the ideologies at work rather than the group itself.

Wrong. I'm telling you uncomfortable truths so you have to plug your ears and deny.

Because to do so builds stereotypes

No. Seeing their actions builds the stereotype. If they can't rise above other people's expectations, then it coincidentally reinforces the idea that they can't think for themselves.

In your case, you are stuck in the male patriarchal false consciousness that is clouding your ability to see that we are saying the same thing.

In your case, you're desperate to prove that "feminism is the solution and the patriarchy is the problem" when the real issue is greed and consumerism.

We can just agree to disagree here. If you're going to be pretentious and patronizing by saying "I agree but I don't understand the words being used," then just re-read this comment.

I must say, seeing all this war footage has really opened my eyes. It looks like the powers that be have a vested interest in keeping it hidden from us. If more people could see how inglorious war actually is, they wouldn't be so eager to continue engaging it.

I just switched this video out for a higher quality version.

I'm experimenting with reducing the quality of videos to save on storage space.

I have videos uploaded to a fairly popular and free instance. They've been there for a few weeks, but I can't find them when I search for them at sepiasearch.org.

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Update:

I have added my instance to the joinpeertube list of instances, as advised by @[email protected]. Now my videos show up properly in SS. Thank you!

 

Only about 6 hours of campaign and it's a shell of what was demoed.

 

I'm not referring to the people who gamble once in a blue moon. I'm talking about those who gamble habitually.

How come they're all such garbage people, with legitimately no exceptions? Take a look at any high-stakes poker table and everyone except maybe the dealer is a de-facto scumbag.
