That has the same energy as telling protestors to go home
My dumb optimistic ass scrolling to the comments under this post thinking “maybe this time iT wOn’T bE sO bAd” lmao
This escalated way faster than I was ready for 😭
The thing is that if we challenge the machine, it gets noted immidiately as being aggressive. The reason for this is because language is normalizing machine thinking. What will push workers in line, what will cool the bloom of the masses, what will paint the mighty as delightful, what will alienate us from our peers and nature.
By taking guardianship for our languages, challenging our everyday words, we normalize the meaningful, normalize humanity.
Why even show it to this guy? You need to change his mind? Instead of the million people out there who arent total douches?
Well, she also posted it on social media for at least a million people to see?
Yeah but like drop that class. That guy has got nothing to teach. Also this art sucks. Probably AI generated. Why do I give a fuck. Blocking OP.
sybau
+ the art is from 2018, it cant be ai
You doing ok? Going through something, need to vent?
I dont think ai image gen was this good in 2018
It certainly got a reaction out of you, so I think this art piece did its job here.
“Truth is somewhere in the middle”
Yeah, needed the satire tag for this one, but too many actually feel that way :/
Because nobody ever goes overboard with the feminism rhetoric…
You’re making a great point in favor of ramping up feminism. Like wow I didn’t realize it was that necessary to speak out for it here.
So go even more overboard? I actually 100% agree. The faster feminist rhetoric jumps the shark, the better. Go at it as far as possible y’all.
Considering this is how it showed up in my feed, no.
You let a social media post dictate your behavior. Good job.
And you let other people biases dictate yours.
Except not.
Clearly feminism hasn’t gone far enough.
Yeah I should probably be shot or something.
… You good buddy?
Not according to feminists, I’m basically Satan.
Hate to tell you this, but seems like less a gender issue and more a you issue.
That feminist can go too far? Definitely not isolated to me.

Also cool, this follow-up:
good and fake.
Touch some grass man
This is art, build this around an actual rheostat and slap it against a wall
Accurate
This is fantastic art!
Agreed. So simple, but so effective.
I feel this deep in my soul.
Look up the first year they used an anatomically correct crash test dummy for a women to make cars safer. The world is bad for men too, in a heirchial system only those at the top “win”, for lack of a better word. Most men are just tagging along pretending to be on the winner team. Even though they failed to make the team in tryouts and are fans just be part of everything.
Oh I’m painfully aware that there still isn’t really a women’s crash test dummy (maybe last year they introduced one that was more anatomically correct?).
Yes, class warfare is deeply connected with gender warfare.
Well, exactly. Put it somewhere between those extremes. Dials like these are important for avoiding the hyper-polarization the world is afflicted with these days.
So, just somewhat complicit in her own dehumanization?
What’s wrong with being a raging feminist?
When you stake your basis for it on the idea that only CIS women are female.
Fuck TERFs
Yeah. I often wonder how many people who attempt to hijack a movement actually believe their singular view of what it should be should be the universal, how much of it is just ignorant ego and an attempt to remain relevant (looking at you JK), and how often it’s a deliberate attempt to both discredit one cause while tearing down another.
The raging misandry that commonly accompanies it, for one.
Oh no! Hating men for beating, raping, and exploiting us! How awful!
I knew someone from one of the misandry instances would chime in to prove my point, so thanks! ^_^
Hey you did it again! You took a single person from an entire instance and assumed they represent the entirety of a group.
I knew misogynist @hakase@lemmy.zip wouldn’t disappoint with more logical fallacies :)
I presume since you’re so fundamentally opposed to feminism and gender equality that the label misogynist is accurate.
You haven’t really proven anything. You say misandry is the problem with being a raging feminist. All I said was hating people who oppress you is not a bad thing. Also one of the “misandry instances”? So are all queer or women oriented instances just misandrist to you?
They’re not “just” misandrist; that is to say, they definitely have good reasons for existing outside of misandry, and I’m glad that they can provide that space for the people who need it. It’s also certainly not inherently misandrist to be queer or woman oriented.
In the case of Lemmy, though, yes, all of the queer and women oriented instances are very clearly also misandrist. Openly and proudly so, in fact. Your comments here are an excellent, though comparatively mild, example of that.
One can be a raging feminist without being a misandrist quite easily.
In fact it’s a core belief of feminism that all the genders are equal.
Of course, but with some more equal than others, of course, as my (female) boss demonstrated earlier this week. She insisted that feminists had proven that women govern better than men can, and that if we would just replace all men in power with women the US’s problems would practically solve themselves.
Feminists truly are beacons of equality.
Yeah your single (female) boss represents all feminists and the feminist movement.
Great detective work there.
You could have listened to me, sympathized, and told me my misandrist experience is valid, but, then again, that’s a privilege reserved for women experiencing misogyny, isn’t it? Wouldn’t be very feminist of you to acknowledge just how widespread misandry is among feminists, eh?
It’s not my job to coddle you because I’m a woman.
Am I the only one who read that headline and thought “an art teacher told a student to dial down the feminism ? An art teacher ? Bullshit they did”
Nice art but the backstory is utterly fake
I knew a highschool art teacher who woulds give any female student more then 80% because “women already get everything they want.”
Your lack of real world experience is showing.
It can also be that the art teacher is perfectly fine with feminism but feels it is overpowering other themes. Dialling it down can be a valid criticism. You catch more flies with honey and all that.
The response with this artwork is excellent though. It’s a piece specifically about feminism, so no need to dial anything down. It makes a point and is beautiful to look at. I’m not a big fan of art that uses text to make a point but I think here it serves a useful purpose and it wouldn’t have the same effect without text.
Did you even look at her art? She has it set to raging feminist. You gotta dial that down.
Just because you land a teaching job doesn’t mean you are self aware
You do know that some art teachers are pricks, right?
No obviously art teachers are a monolith that are completely predictable in every way, just like women!
That’s impossible. Nuance is obviously DEI bullshit.
Your be shocked what art teachers say, especially at the college level.
Those who can’t do…
Judge those who can?
I know the answer is supposed to be teach but…
The original phrase is pretty lame anyway. If you can’t do a thing, how can you be expected to teach it? I’d rather have a teacher that actually knows how to do the thing they’re trying to teach me.
The saying isn’t trying to convey that people who can’t do something are well suited to teach it, it’s disparaging teachers by saying if they were any good at what they teach they would be doing it instead of teaching it.
Oh, I get its point, I just think it’s a nonsensical phrase.
It’s a very American thing, where we don’t value teachers. It’s nonsensical in reality, but it’s the way America operates.
Probably better phrasing would be “Those who used to do, teach”. As in, teachers/coaches might be people who due to any number of circumstances can’t participate in doing the thing directly, but have experience in it.
The saying itself is a pithy dig at teachers, it’s meant to demean their skill at what they’re teaching.
It’s a witticism, not a measured statement of truth.
