@Aether In the actual story, Cinderella's feet were smaller than her step sisters, as the step sisters resorted to trying to jam their feet in the shoe (one even cutting part of her foot). So it would be exactly the opposite of what these troons are saying. Because the foot fitting problem was not because the step sisters had dainty feet.
@Pain66 All that "real progress" would be entirely unnecessary if not for the majority of women voting in favor of feminism, abortion, and against traditional values. I am quite willing to bet these "conservative" women would be unwilling to give up their right to vote if it meant getting everything they claim to want.
Not saying it is about asking them to give up such rights, but rather that they very likely value "their right to vote" over getting the things they claim to want.
@Griffith @ceo_of_monoeye_dating @monsterislandcolonizer @Remi @Shlomo @UnityOstara Yes. If you just proclaim "Women don't have agency" and refuse to hold them accountable, then the women will act as if they do not have agency. So it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
If there is enough enforcement of consequences for bad behavior, then less women will behave badly. Unfortunately, many women conclude that they can avoid consequences. They are somewhat correct about that.

Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night. Which is probably difficult for you with that sleep apnea that you most certainly have.
@shortstories just letting you know, the 1st and 2nd are exactly the same. I think you meant one of them to be a white man and a black woman?
@ceo_of_monoeye_dating many of the younger women are in some form of relationship with an older man as well. While to some extent that has always happened, it still prices out young men who have not built up the earning potential of the older generations.
And as for Social Security and Medicare, we can just gut the whole thing so that we have less panic about "more workers needed," and maybe younger generations can get ahead without the debts being pushed on them before they could even vote.
@37712 @Mr_Mister If you are someone who is swayed by someone's debating skills rather than looking at the policies of the debater, you are the very type of person I do not want voting. That kind of person is vulnerable to emotional manipulation.
Debating skills also do not carry over to actually enacting good decisions. Though yes, it does not matter anyways because it is not as if elections are legitimate anyways (for how long that has been the case I cannot say for sure).
@DoubleD @Mr_Mister @Tfmonkey Basically, if a meme is based in reality, very few if any words should be required. If your idea cannot be expressed without a lengthy explanation, you do not have a meme. That is fine, as long as you recognize whether or not you have a meme or just a plain image with an explanation. Some ideas just are not quite "memeable," and that is not a bad thing necessarily.
@DoubleD @Mr_Mister @Tfmonkey How about we don't call this one a meme, because it in itself isn't. The reason why the "too many words" gets brought up is that the idea from a meme should be understood without supplementary explanation. Here is a post that explains things well.
@ButtWorldsMan I have seen this one before. It is just another reoccurring thing that many blacks complain about when there is no reason for it. Just another excuse to hate white people for doing something sensible.

And besides, if you were to go to one of those countries and had 100% of your DNA from that country of origin as an American, you would not be considered one of them by the people living there. So you cannot have an identity with a group that would not accept you as being one in the same as them.
The way I see it, the "whites do not have their own identity" crowd just want white people to not have any in-group preferences while every other group of people do.
Wish I could find the video I had in mind, but oh well.
There is an odd claim how there is no "white identity" because white people have origins from all sorts of European countries such as Germany, France, Norway, United Kingdom. So having a white identity supposedly makes no sense.
Except many of the Americans that are white often have more than one of these origins where they have their ancestry, meaning they cannot have a strong identity with those countries of origin.
Looks like this will be my new home. Warning: I (probably) have Asperger's, so my be prepared for my autism to show through.
I don't think I am a right wing extremist, but I am sure anyone with low testosterone might think otherwise.
