Feminism has disenfranchised me tbh. I am fine with their ideals and wishes but not with being called a predator.

I must be doing something right as no one has ever called me a predator before.

I prefer Cthulhu's position.

No lives matter, and that's a fact.

I mean, it has been applied as a way to divide, like when Bernie proposed all sorts of policies to help the poor and mainstream media ran with "but what does Bernie do specifically for poor black people?"

That's not to say there aren't such specific concerns, but it wasn't like Hillary was doing any better in that regard. It was solely used as a way to make Bernie look less progressive. So instead we got Trump with the simple and straightforward "make america great again".

Fighting a war on multiple fronts is a great way to stretch your resources thin and muddy the strategy.

Bernie didn't lose by focusing on black people, he lost because the entire DNC apparatus worked against him.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago

Neither of you are wrong.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago

That was my point, the DNC and their mainstream media buddies said that he didn't focus enough on issues facing specifically black people. That was one of many attacks they made against him.

stupid comic for liberal types - please understand that you standing up as an autistic black feminist with one leg and a penchant for grapefruits does not result in significant change for society. yes, you exist, the world is full of wealthy evil, lets do something about that instead of talking about ourselves.

Intersectionality being a subsection of feminism is like a library being subsection of a book. It doesn't make sense.

Intersectionality covers a much, much broader set of discrimination, and discrimination of women is just one side. Putting it under the umbrella of feminism is as random as putting it under, say, trans rights movement. Yes, there are specific issues on the intersection of gender, race, or age, or disability, but they are relevant not only for women. There are issues specific of black men, young trans people, etc.

When it's all framed under feminism, it's not clear where discriminated men and nonbinary people stand in all of this. Some people claim feminism is about everyone, and so there's already something that works. Others reasonably state feminism is about women pretty much by definition. Put it together, and you'll see how discriminated men and nonbinary folks are casually thrown out of a conversation and support net that has somehow put one specific issue in its center.

Who is saying it is only under feminism?

I truly thought the comment was referring to this comic, since the dialogue seems to imply that the second group is 'trying to further divide and create a sub section'.
