TDOV - cognitive dissonance

[TheWayOfTheWorld]

Not as many posts on LinkedIn about this as usual, but one caught my eye.

Usual list of TWAW, TMAM etc followed by this:

"Do not expect others to adjust how they exist to meet you where you are comfortable".

Er, as with all of this, I assume that works as a one way street only, right? Funny how it's bigoted if if I don't adjust how I exist (not sharing my spaces with biological men).

How are public spaces part of your existence? Yes, like with all anti-discrimination, it's one street only. Minorities do not have to "adjust" to be included as equals, and you should adjust to the existence of minorities.

Public spaces are part of everyone's existence. Single-sex spaces are part of women's existence.

Men commit more than 90% of violent crime, and almost all sexual violence. Why should women give up spaces that protect their physical safety because male people wish to use them?

But men are not a minority?

Come on, keep up. Middle aged white men are the absolutely most minority oppressed group ever ever, esp when wearing their [redacted]'s [redacted].

Trans women are.

I saw this on Instagram today, same sentiment- a one way street

Not allowed to talk about your feelings in Scotland, mind you. Not even at your dining table with your immediate family.

Some of us were brought up with better values so less of the sweeping generalisations about 'minorities'. We don't all walk around thinking the sun shines out of our arse.

I don't remember appointing these high priests to speak on my behalf. 😂

Trans women are also men. That’s the bare truth of it, no…? Or do you think they aren’t?

Trans women are.

Well yes I guess they are a minority of the male sex.

@Cayeli2

1. how does one differentiate between the 2? feelings aren't visible and I can't read minds - that's why the general sex class of men are excluded from certain female only single-sex spaces.

My husband is a lovely chap and I'm sure wouldn't harm a fly. But no-one KNOWS that and as we aren't living in a Minority Report world it's better to offend him because he's told no entry than expose VAG to the potential risk.

2. fewer in number does not mean more vulnerable or less strong

Trans women are.

At what point does the oppressor suddenly turn into the oppressed? What has to happen to affect this change from 'person of the patriarchy' to 'minority'?

A privileged white adult male does not suddenly turn into an oppressed minority just because he claims to be a woman. A man isn't 'oppressed' because of some chosen subjective identity.

It's lies to try to pretend women (the oppressed sex class) are now the ones oppressing men with the very biology men have been using to oppress us since the dawn of humanity. (Which they now conveniently want to pretend doesn't exist)

Anti-discrimination law isn't one street only. People of all races and nationalities are protected by race discrimination law. People of both sexes are protected by sex discrimination law. People of all ages are protected by age discrimination law.

Umm, TRA is making women's lives harder because of their feelings. Are they telling themselves off here? Is this some sort of covert apology for being the world's biggest wankers over the last few years?

you should adjust to the existence of minorities
😂
Ok, I'm going to adjust my reaction to all men because rapists are the minority.

My company has put out a post on our internal blog and it is full of the sort of cringey statements we’ve come to expect. I was really hoping it might have some actual insight, but no. It even references T**Fs. This is an international professional services company by the way. Embarrassing.
