@Ox @fluffy @pernia @cowanon I feel like I experienced the whole Internet gender war in this thread. This is what I get for expressing an opinion on the Internet. ๐Ÿ˜ง

@wjmaggos Filter bubbles and confirmation bias also seriously contribute to this problem.

@wjmaggos I'm actually not afraid of getting exiled by a community that would exile me for my opinions. I'm much more concerned, as are many, about something like losing my job.

People are understandably afraid of voicing an opinion that gets us exiled by our community. So we subconsciously reject information & perspectives that go against the accepted wisdom of our tribe. We're built more to belong than to search out & speak the truth. #LiberalValues

@cowanon Ah that's why I can't see these posts. Librem Social doesn't have direct messages because they offer a false illusion of privacy. @fluffy @death @pernia

@fluffy I don't think I can see the whole conversation. Man that's frustrating. @cowanon @pernia

@fluffy That wasn't my argument but I don't want to get into a big thing since this is clearly an emotionally charged issue for you. @cowanon @pernia

@fluffy Plus I'm not arguing that feminism isn't powerful now. Of course it has a large amount of institutional power now but I think we're going to see that evaporate in the next 30 years. @Ox @cowanon @pernia

@fluffy Well if you think the opinions of the masses count for nothing then maybe you'd be right. Hold on for the next 15 to 20 years. It's going to be a bumpy ride. @Ox @cowanon @pernia

@fluffy I think what we are seeing is the Ludendorff Offensive of the feminist movement. They've lost a significant amount of influence on Millennials and have completely lost the zoomers. The movement will be dead along with the boomers. @Ox @cowanon @pernia

@pernia When polled most the vast majority say they are in favour of gender equality however will not identify as feminists. There seems to be a broad understanding that feminism has abandoned any pretense of gender equality among women. That's bad news for that ideology and movement. @Ox @cowanon
