Ideas glorifying silence as a virtue is sexist and classist

Women are often stereotyped as chatty. Ideas spread by women are written off as gossip or silliness. Men historically oppressed women by taking away their speech and freedoms. Silence only benefits the oppressors and so it was used as a tool to keep power and control.

However, research now shows that women are often the cause of the evolution of language. New writing systems, invention of words, different ways of speaking, etc. all have one thing in common as the source: WOMEN. And how does language evolve? By constantly communicating!

So when I see ignorant posts, especially being posted by women, about how everyone should be silent or whatever, I just know they're a "pick me" girl!! :annoyed:

Dude, when you call people "oppressors", they don't like that. They will feel attacked.

So if the shoe fits...

Do you call anyone who you genuinely think is stupid an idiot? No, I am sure you don't. It has nothing to do with whether it's accurate or not. It's called being polite and not alienating people's affection.

Uhh...What do you want me to say? My deepest apologies to rapists & misogynists?

I'm sure their feelings are hurt, unlike the women that are beat, raped, killed, and shut out of society. :)

Are all men rapists and misogynists?

Anyway, feel free to continue calling men "oppressors". I hope you will carry this into the real life. I encourage you. Call as many men "you evil oppressor" as you can and make sure you sound as nasty as possible.

an online beginners astrological forum
attracts not only many who know very little about astrology
and who consider astrology as fairground entertainment
but also attracts a few experienced astrologers

and so on ad infinitum

Astrology is the equivalent of adult entertainment of the occult world. That means many of us are really just astrological equivalents of pole dancers. :pinched:

Many of us are simply practicing greater things, such as mushrooms or getting high off ayahuasca and getting diarrhea in some tropical jungle :) Now THAT is real occultism!

SIGNS are IMPARTIAL and NEUTRAL

a mushroom thrives when placed in nutrient rich soil in darkness

dies when placed in sand in harsh sun
nutrient rich ground is NEUTRAL and is not PARTIAL to mushrooms
similarly SIGNS are IMPARTIAL and NEUTRAL
Signs are COMPARABLE to an ENVIRONMENT
an environment is IMPARTIAL

I think I have been warned like two times, or so, and I also have a final warning too.

Since then I have been trying hard to behave. It's hard because I can have a real temper, plus there are quite a few left-wingers on this board and I am sure most of you all know how I feel about them, lol.

So, if I ever get banned, you will know that the cause of death is the lefties.

XD


Tim's a righty, so if that's all it is, and you keep it as being against the Left instead an Individual member, you should be awight.

Forcibly women to be silent, interrupting women, repeating what she said and misinterpreting women's experiences...its a lot of sexism. I tend to be talkative for a male, I know, could well be a Gemini rising (noon-time chart) factor or a Mercury in its fall in 13' Pisces. I'm against men telling women to be silent on matters like sexual abuse, discrimination and strict gender roles that oppress, because women have the right to speak up on being maltreated as a minority.

I am the silent and mysterious protagonist!

Though in general I know I like to talk…sometimes… Men seem to either love it or hate it LOL

In North American culture, men are taught not to be more talkative, emotional or expressive, in fact men are told to not have their voices "loud" vs a woman's (sounds like 1950s WASP upper-class puritan calvinist victorian moralist values conservatives seem to bring up as the "good ol days when people BEHAVED").

After the period of social change of the 1960s-70s, esp. women taken down many restrictions they endured for a long time in America and the (western) world, it seems like the religious right in the 1980s-2010s instructed men to remain masculine, avoid anything perceived as gay or pertained to women and finally, using the King James Bible claiming non-stereotypical men (esp Gays) are a national security threat, esp under Reagan, the GOP majorities under the Clintons and Obama, and the Bush family, this was a huge political platform to force men to be MANLY, until recently, men are rejecting a lot more toxic and stereotyped masculinity, the same way women rejected their rigid sexist mores and laws before.
