What really makes me chuckle is whenever someone tries to insist to me that Mexican men are chauvinists, and I have to remind them that not only did they elect a woman, but they elected a woman who is doing FDR shit and actually making people's lives better.

I'm jealous. The closest we got was Bernie and both parties swift-boated him.

They are horribly chauvinistic.

Let's play a game. The US elected Obama so they are not racist riiight?

I see the point you're getting at, but this is too big of a debate for Saturday morning. :)

Have a great day.

Ladies and gentlemen, white US liberals when confronted with their shitty conservative positions. Saving this- it’s a such a perfect encapsulation.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Landed and gentlemen, the troll who literally never makes a comment on this platform other than to try and demoralize a doomed society of millions of people. Torturing people like this is clearly all you ever think about. It's pathetic and you desperately need mental help.

Come on, now, be fair, I love dunking on liberals as much as the next leftist, but "Mexican men aren't chauvinists" is hardly a conservative position, as leftists aren't we supposed to make the argument that no people are a monolith?

Men are chauvinists. This is not somehow unique to Mexico.

chauvinism, excessive and unreasonable patriotism, similar to jingoism. The word is derived from the name of Nicolas Chauvin, a French soldier who, satisfied with the reward of military honours and a small pension, retained a simpleminded devotion to Napoleon. Chauvin came to typify the cult of the glorification of all things military that was popular after 1815 among the veterans of Napoleon’s armies. Later, chauvinism came to mean any kind of ultranationalism and was used generally to connote an undue partiality or attachment to a group or place to which one belongs. The term chauvinism also may describe an attitude of superiority toward members of the opposite sex, as in male chauvinism. Some animal-rights advocates have used the term to indicate a similar attitude on the part of human beings toward other species, as in “species chauvinism.”

According to this definition from Britannica, men, women, trans people, etc can also be chauvinist. Men can be male chauvinist, in that they think they are the "superior gender". But that doesn't exclude the concept of female chauvinism.

The concept of a "woman chauvinist" is irrelevant. It literally does not matter. What's going to happen, are women going to take over society and force men into servitude? Stop them from leaving the house without an escort? Make them give up their careers? 🙄

In a society that was built by men, for men, men's chauvinism is a problem and an unconscious bias they all carry with them from a very young age. There's a lifetime of unlearning that men need to do to not be chauvinists. Any man who has gone through this process to rid themselves of their chauvinism has no problem with statements like "men are chauvinists" because they know it's true.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, a US president who in the 1930's ended the great depression by finally implementing some social welfare programs and reining in corporate power somewhat (like protecting the right to unionize) to prevent a socialist revolution.

implementing some social welfare programs ... to prevent a socialist revolution.

The irony...

God I love the Fediverse.

Feels weird, but I just love that people answer questions and aren't jerks about it.

The chillness of this place has been pretty awesome, and I very much want to perpetuate that chillness and goodwill as best I can :)
