Worst of Social Justice

Alright then, I have a very simple decision to make.

I have always identified with the Dark Souls boss "The Pursuer". I have felt for the longest time that I must fly around riding gigantic eagles and skewering people on a gigantic sword while rocking a Zeonic Mono-Eye. I am TransAlkenian.

Hence why I attend school in massive plate armor, with a flashlight taped to my head.

Cisethnic privilege not being hacked to pieces with a machete when you're transsomalian.

Unfortunately for you, I identify as trans-Cursed Undead. I'm coming for yo souls, buddy.

I'm still waiting for someone to identify as "attentionwhoregender", but I think this comes pretty close.

Well, at least they've got some self-awareness.

Is nothing good enough for these idiots?!

Context: for ages, women's position in the society has primarily been defined by their relationship to a man. They have been their fathers' daughters until marriage when they have become their husbands' wives and the man's position also defined the woman's. This is also connected to other issues with the attitudes towards women in society and these attitudes are still present in the language used when discussing women - even when people discussing don't realize it and don't intend to reproduce these old attitudes.

Not to mention the whole ages old phenomenon of men only suddenly realizing that women are people too after having a daughter. The whole "Nobody is ever going to treat my daughter the way I've treated almost every woman in my life."

Not to say this quote isn't extremely dismissive of men and their support. The guys saying sister, daughters, etc. are probably just trying to be supportive and express a solidarity of sorts. But there is enough of a lingering cultural problem with women's lives and identities merely being an extention of the identities of the men around her, that I really can't completely condemn this one.

And then you get into morganatic marriages.

Gonna have to disagree with you there.  The "sisters and daughters" rhetoric is used partially because it drives home the idea that rape, sexual assault, and abuse against women are not far-away issues; they are things that can affect the people closest to you.

And this may make me unpopular among my fellow feminists, but I don't have much of a problem with women being talked about in the context of familial relationships, as long as it's equally done with men.  The relationships we form are an important part of who we are.  Sure, I'm a sales broker/college graduate/protestant/gamer/globetrotter, but more important, I'm a brother, a friend, a father, a husband, and a son.  Those are the five most important identities I hold, because they refer to the people who make me who I am.

[Askold]

Men get talked about in familial way as well when they are victims, but mainly for violent crimes rather than rape.

Remember Obama's "If I had a son he would look like Trayvon..." statement?

[Random Gal]

Isn't rape generally considered a violent crime, though?

...Good point.
