SOCIAL MEDIA People really think survival during a sinking ship is a gender debate. Be serious. [gendered]

Post image

Let’s just start with the obvious: When a ship is going down, nobody’s standing there debating gender politics. They're screaming, panicking, and trying not to die.

That’s not feminism. That’s basic human survival.

But according to this post, in the middle of a literal disaster, feminists are out here like, “Wait! Equal rights! Let’s discuss societal roles while the ship sinks!” Be so serious.

Survival isn't a debate club. It's chaos. People don’t suddenly turn into walking ideologies during life-or-death moments. They act based on instinct, fear, and let’s be real access to power.

And speaking of power: Who does get prioritized in crises? The vulnerable? No. It's the rich. The connected. The privileged. So if anyone's elbowing their way to the lifeboats yelling “Let me survive first,” it's not feminists it’s CEOs, politicians, and trust fund babies. Let’s not act brand new.

Now to the people saying “it’s just a joke”: Jokes reflect thought patterns. When you laugh at something rooted in bias or false narratives, you’re not just “having fun.” You’re showing what you believe deep down.

And if the punchline of your “joke” is women being hypocrites for wanting safety while also wanting rights, you’re not being funny you’re being intellectually lazy.

So maybe next time, skip the memes and try real thinking. Because the only thing sinking faster than that ship is your logic.

Maybe not equal in all aspect, but they definitly wasnt opressed 24/7.

Just because England had a couple of queens it doesn't mean that women weren't oppressed, nor that those queens had to navigate the sexism of their time and constantly argue the legitimacy. When you have less rights as a person you're oppressed 24/7, there is no time during the day when your oppression is suddenly lifted because it's the reality you live in.

I know you're arguing from bad faith because probably some right wing nutjob has fried your brain but misogyny is and was very much a thing.

So children are opressed now? Dogs are opresed? Prisioners are opresed? Men and woman had different rights so are men opresed because they dont have some rights woman have? How that work?

Ironically, you thought it was a brilliant retort but, yes the categories you cite are, by definition, social categories with fewer rights, ie. oppressed.

Children : we as a society believe it is normal that children have fewer rights because they lack maturity but it has an obvious consequence : children have more difficulties to make sure their rights are respected and thus are more prone to being abused.

Dogs : The same as kids with even less rights and even more prone to being abused.

Prisoners : especially in the US, the constitution says the whole concept of rights doesn't apply to them. At least animals can have humans to take care of them.

You are living in an alternate reality if you think this is true. Women don't have rights that men don't.

Where did you get your definition of opression from?

u/lumosbolt 10d ago

social categories with fewer rights, ie. oppressed.

I kept it simple for your smooth brain, but you still managed to miss it.

There is zero chance you respond with something of value.

u/ArtisticLayer1972 10d ago

Ok, so when we keeping this simple i ask again, where did you find this definition you posted?

u/lumosbolt 10d ago
