Being called a "bootlicker" or a "techbro" is rude. No slurs have "centuries" of anything "behind" them. They are just rude, often very rude. If someone tells me I am a Nazi, I don't need to "check" if I am one. I know already that I am not. The same is true of the rest of those terms. Yet I have been called a "neofascist" on HN quite recently. These terms are bandied about indiscriminately to mean "person I disagree…
> You are not sexist for believing that men and women are different. You are not racist for wanting immigration law to be enforced. You are a misogynist if you think that those differences between men and women need to be underscored through societal and politic measures against women. You are racist if you think that kicking immigrants out of your country means only the brown people (which sadly seems to be a trap y…
People called GitHub racist for having a contract with ICE.
People call you racist if you say "immigration law should be enforced".
That is my entire point and your immediate assumption that I have fallen into a "trap" and must be a secret cryptoracist is exactly the behaviour I am talking about.
As for the differences being "underscored through measures against women", that is just stupid. There are differences and there are as a result social and legal distinctions drawn between men and women. Women are much more vulnerable to violence from men than the reverse. Single-sex spaces are a requirement as a result. This is a very basic example. The accommodations that employment law and social expectations need to make for women because of pregnancy is another example: you can't just say "we treat men and women the same: you are expected to lift heavy things at work" when you have a pregnant employee.
Literally my whole point is that some on the left eagerly take any opportunity they can get to assume bad faith and apply these insults to as many people as they can. You have then immediately done exactly that. So please. Your pathetic argument that this is just "descriptive" is ridiculous. You choose to interpret things in the worst possible light and to invent things I never said so that you can call me a racist misogynist. Don't pretend that you don't or that you are some neutral observer of people.
