Kind of changing the topic a bit, but when I hear women attacking each other with sexist slurs directed at women I get sad because for them it’s just a cheap and effective way to insult another woman, but I think all the women in the world pay the price for that, because we keep normalizing sexism against women.
I don’t know if it is what you have heard, but I have seen a lot of feminists reapropiating slurs like “b1tch”, “wh0re” and so on and calling themselves like that in a positive manner, which if you would heard them without context, you might not tell. I think this is a far better tactic than trying to ban a word, since it is essentially what has been happening with words like “gay” and “queer”, only this happened long ago and people now have internalized that they never were insults.
I have heard of this tactic being used too. But I think it’s problematic because those words are already segregated by gender. What I think might be good idea is to switch the gender, that is to start referring to men as “b1tch” and “wh0re” until women feel comfortable themselves to be called that if they consent to.
This only works with consent of the other person. For example, some LGBT people do not like being called “queer” do to it’s history of being used in a negative way towards them.
Yeah I know, I did not explicit it but you always need consent in that regard, although it is super uncommon with words like “gay” or “queer” nowadays.
Unfortunately a rather astronomically disproportionate number of humans do not believe in objective education, instead opting for selfish and material biases and excuses.
It’s very difficult to stay healthy if you’re forced to work most of the day and can only afford cheap, extremely unhealthy food. I don’t think natural selection is a good thing for humanity at this point, since our intelligence is by far our most important feature (Einstein wasn’t exactly buff)
Sure; I’m not saying that we shouldn’t try to stay healthy, only that we probably shouldn’t harshly judge someone just for having an unhealthy diet or lacking motivation to exercise consistently, particularly in a capitalist society

As one person put it, “I’ll take ‘women reinforcing the patriarchy’ for 500, Alex.”

I’m pretty sure the two phenomena, the one you describe and the one @straightpeach@lemmy.ml describes, both exist independently.
Of course, but they can be confused.

Yeah, it’s really sad.
Natural selection is good.
not for humans that can educate themselves

You tell me, how many people actively want to stay fit and healthy instead of being overly fat or obese or anorexic?

We reached here both by brain and brawn, so we need both. Intelligence and intellect does not mean we become stickmen.
