No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

When has punching up worked?
Women's sufferage. Obtained via sex strikes.
Can you describe how thats punching up? Because I don't see it. Are all strikes now "punching up"?
.... Yes?
In a situation with two groups with a significant power differential, the group with less power is "down" and the group with more power is "up". Punching up is exactly what it sounds like, given that situation.
I've always heard it used, and I believe it originates from, comedy.
If the question is "have strikes ever worked?" Well yeah of course they have. But peacefully working along side other people has also had success in the past. So if we are drastically expanding the definition, then the point still falls apart.
