If I told a woman to shut the fuck up and told her it was because it’s a “man topic” would that be ok too? Or does sexism only work one way?
If you asked the men in the audience a question about a personal, not social, issue, and a woman host tried to answer, you'd be entirely right in telling her to hold her damn horses, you weren't asking her.
but ... but we're supposed to be oppressed! they're trying to kill us all!
IT'S SO HARD FOR A MAN TO LIVE IN A WOMAN'S WORLD !!!!!
CHAOS DRAGONS
I mean if you were asking a group "Do you find briefs keep your balls in line", and a woman started talking over everyone, I think it would be perfectly reasonable to say "sorry this question is only for people with testicles.".
Power imbalances exist in our society, such that women on the whole are the oppressed, and men the oppressors.
Therefore, the same situation is not equitable, depending on who is in control.
Craig and CBS are the patriarchy and in control, and Carrie is the resistance. She is permitted to rise up (in small or large part) against the patriarchy, because the power imbalance existed then as it does now.
So no, it's not okay for you to tell women to shut the fuck up. If anything, they might listen if you listened.
I’ve never oppressed anyone, I’m a native so I know about oppression but it comes from your men and women towards ours
I mean, this is like having a discussion about reservations in a room full of natives, but the only people speaking are white
You'll notice Carrie didn't say stfu she just said "wait a second"
From other comments it seems like the context is they know each other and it's not really like that. More so because it's not a broad topic, it's a question about personal experience, shushing someone trying to weigh in on how other people must feel about something they're only speculating on is reasonable.
I’d like to think that in real life I’d still call you an ass and probably a sealion.
She was talking to the women in the audience. He tried to talk over all the women in the audience and answer the question in their place. She rightly told him to stop.
Male or female, answering a question that has nothing to do with you and talking over the people it does have something to do with in order to do so is not okay. I would think that as a Native you’d understand that, given how often people still do it to y’all even today.
I don’t insult people at all cause I’m an adult
Riiiiight
Your sexism is one directional, yes.
Ok. Look at the context, buddy. You're going on the attack because a woman asked a question directed at only the women in the room and people approved her silencing a man trying to answer.
And I'm the toxic one. Whatever...
funny you call people toxic and hateful when we can feel your spittle landing on our unfortunate faces just by reading your comments.
