    definitely every alternative i can think of is dismissive of s*** treatment people with autism and intellectual disabilities still deal with today. not that it's an excuse for using it so egregiously but i think the reason i use the word to refer to ppl who are upsetting me due to their ignorance is bc i was called it during similarly tense arguements.

    i'm both on the spectrum and have a recent traumatic brain injury lol

    my gf's family lost lives under communism.

    see thats where your (or her, more specifically) perspective is valuable because u can bring your side of the story to the table

    either system is problematic otherwise they'd both be perfect utopias and we wouldn't be having this century(ies) old conversation

    my gf's family lost lives under communism.

    Nowhere did I say that didn't happen or isn't terrible, nowhere did I say that I think communism is the solution, I only said we all suffer under capitalism.

    did everyone else say "i have more experience than yall because i went to some protests?" no they didn't...

    difference: I admitted I was wrong saying that, it was stupid of me!
    difference: I never made fun of "r-worded"

    No I wouldn't say all of them. Women's rights only became better after the 60's. I would say under some of those queens women's rights were good though, definitely. The names I named were more to show that a woman CAN obtain the highest position in her state, unlike in a sexist communist state, were that has never happened. I would also say that under women like Thatcher and Merkel, life for women has been better than under any communistic state, or would you disagree?

    Again your outlook is way too simplistic.

    Whether somebody of x identity group can reach the highest position is only a tiny part of whether x identity group is being treated fairly or not. Would you rather be a woman living in the Netherlands right now with a male leader or a woman living under a queen?

    This is what we call "glass ceiling feminism", Clintonite feminism, #ImWithHer type s*** that doesn't actually do s*** for women.

    The failure of communist regimes to completely abolish sexism would only mean we need to go even further in our efforts

    not ideal choices at all,

    still a considerable win in that a woman would be president, albeit not trying to get into tokenism territory,

    and also

    Whether somebody of x identity group can reach the highest position is only a tiny part of whether x identity group is being treated fairly or not.

    this is facts. I'm just looking to acknowledge even the smaller wins, while advocating/fighting for the bigger ones

    id definitely be a woman living in the netherlands right now. I'm a socialistic democrat, so the netherlands right now is my preferred political system.

    Now on the discussion,I didn't say I was being feministic in that post, I was just comparing communistic head of states with capitalistic head of states, and noting the differerence

    my girlfriend and her family have real pain from living under communism. I don't know anyone else who lived under communism, so my sources are limited, however, judging from her experience, I know a thing or two, and that is also partly what I base my position on. Her experiences fundamentally shaped my political position. Now I don't know how many people you know that lived under communism that you really know, but my guess is 0

    Well my parents/aunts/uncles and even brothers have in former Communist countries from Ethiopia to Yugoslavia to East Germany that doesn't change anything
