Food.

That's honestly all my money goes towards these days.

And utilities.

It's really just preference.

What you really should be looking for are "circumaural" headphones. These are headphones that cover your entire ear.

Whether you get open-back or closed-back is entirely up to you. Don't let anyone convince you that one is strictly superior to the other.

They both have their benefits and detriments.

Black Lives Matter is a fine name for what it supports.

I didn't study the etymology of feminism, but in practice it has always resulted in fighting for women's rights while ignoring or paying lip-service to men's rights.

There's no feminist platform that advocates for removing men from the draft or including women in it, for example. I don't believe that the differences between men and women, especially today, are great enough to give any preference to one sex over the other. Most of us are suffering because we are poor.

From my experience, feminists will say feminism is about equality to fool people who don't know any better into supporting a cause that is practically about female superiority. They believe it's woman's turn to be the oppressors and to them that is 'fair.'

This is exemplified by how it's socially acceptable (even encouraged) to make disparaging comments about men, but making similar comments about women will get you ostracized. You can't say you're for equality of the sexes if you laugh when somebody says "I hate all men" but get angry if someone else says "I hate all women." Neither is acceptable, but feminists will disagree.

I'll accept that feminism is about furthering the rights of women.

It's not about equality, though, which is why we never hear feminists complaining about men in the draft or a lack of female representation in sanitation services.

It's also a terrible word to use if it is about equality because it clearly favors one group over others. If you want to support equality, you should use a different word.

Not really.

Black Lives Matter is a movement specifically to shed light on how cops abuse their power towards people of color and frequently go unpunished for it. Black Lives Matter is not about addressing how white people may suffer at the hands of police brutality and if you're trying to argue that it is, then you're either disingenuous or ignorant.

You do have a point though, where both feminism and Black Lives Matter focus on one group over people over others.

No it's not. It clearly favors one side, but then people are saying it's about equality.

If whatever feminism is trying to describe is truly about equality, then we should use a term that isn't biased.

[-] uhdeuidheuidhed@thelemmy.club 0 points 17 hours ago

There should be a different word that doesn't favor one side if it's about equality.

Anyone who is tired of people misconstruing the meaning of the word 'feminism' should be trying to find a better word that means what they are trying to convey.

[-] uhdeuidheuidhed@thelemmy.club 1 points 17 hours ago

It's a really shit word to use if it's supposed to mean equality.

Are there any other words we can use to replace feminism that doesn't show bias towards one side?

Don't give them your human capital.

Their families are in for a rude awakening.

Some people can only take so much abuse before they snap and take it out on their abusers.
