[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is the female equivalent of men who post on places like Reddit's Red Pill: bitter, social awkward young men who lack the ability to view themselves realistically and generalize women in the most inflammatory ways possible. OP would fit right in if she was born with a Y chromosome.[/quote]

I'm actually pretty concerned about this and what it means for society in the long term and short term. Men and women both make out the opposite sex to be the root of all evil, projecting personal problems onto an entire group of people. It's sad. There are sex-based issues, of course. But the rampant generalizations and hostility are no good for actually solving any of those problems. [/quote]

I worry about this too, but I think (perhaps wishful thinking) most people are sensible enough not to paint everyone with such a broad brush.

The Internet has made it easier for less reasonable, perspective-impaired, people to get on the soapbox. In the past, people like this would already be well known within their community as someone whose opinions tend to be a bit extreme and should be taken with a grain of salt. On the Internet, anonymity means that the village idiot has an equal standing with a thoughtful, empathic person.

Just replace "opposite sex" with other races or religions and you basically have the human condition. Some people are always predisposed towards aggressively judging the Other, however they define it.[/quote]

True. It's just that I see it on mainstream sites as well- not just anonymous parenting boards where people work out their aggression- and it's troubling.[/quote]

I think every gender (and religion, race, etc.) has its own challenges that aren't immediately obvious to people who are not members of their in-group. The Internet has made it easier for each of these groups to circle the wagons into their little echo chambers where discussions about how the in-group is being eternally victimized by the out-group. I think this is particularly noticeable in younger people (<30) where opinions and world views seem to be getting increasingly polarized along gender and racial lines, perhaps because they do not remember a time before the media fragmentation took off.[/quote]

The Internet ... such a bummer that it has allowed oppressed peoples to get together and share information about their oppression with each other and then share information about their oppression and how to fight it globally thru "fragmented" outlets like Facebook and Twitter.

If it weren't for the Internet maybe those oppressed people wouldn't be so unhappy.

Take women for instance, if it weren't for the Internet, no one would have even known about that rape trial where the rape victim's victim impact statement was released online.  If she hadn't been able to share her pain with her little in group, she probably would have just told her story in court and accepted that 6 month sentence that swimmer guy got and everyone would have been much happier.

Damn internet and those young people who insist on using it to reach out to people they don't even know.  It was so much better when us women could be beaten by our husbands and raped by our boyfriends in the privacy of our own homes and when we couldn't even tell anyone about it because all we had access to were telephones and face-to-face conversations.  Women felt so much less fragmented and isolated back then.

LOL sure nice try troll. Go back to your cave.[/quote]

Crap.  You don't take me seriously, did you?  I was, of course, being sarcastic in order to point out how ridiculous the PP at 20:16 was being....
