Misogynoir in media.


The slut shaming and victim blaming of women in cases of rape/sexual assault.

Fetishization of WoC.

Online stalking.

The disrespect for female authority.
Could you please explain what women of color and exactly how all non white women are similar?

I'm not really sure what you're asking…

I'm sorry, I apparently skipped a word. I wment to say, could you please explain, what are women of color. The reason I ask this is because it gives the impression you think all non white people are the same with the same issues.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

WoC aren't a monolith of course but we do face many overlapping issues, and problems that intersect at race and gender. Why on earth would I think that face the exact same problems as ex: an Asian woman, or a non-black Latina. But the social impact on us highly similar.

The reason I would think you think that is because you used a monolithic term for everyone. You clearly basing on a white centric, america centric veiw. Because if a white traveled to, well pretty any non western nation they would get the same crap if not more.

I don't think it's legal to pay different in the same jobs of the same position with the same amount of responsibilities.
Care of provide any examples of such organizations?

Of course it is, and it also makes sense to in some instances. Often you'll find people with more experience making more money than those with less experience, even in the same job.

A guy at work has the same job as me but earns more because he's been in the industry longer, and the company longer. If you take that away then a company would be forced to pay a new joiner the same as a veteran, which isn't going to go down well with the veteran.

An awful lot of the pay inequality issues between men and women boil down to two things:

1) Experience. Women are far more likely to take time out of work to raise children, and so will have less experience than their male counterparts when they return to work.

2) Negotiating Salary. I've heard of studies that say women are worse at negotiating salaries than men. Not sure if it's a big factor, but it might explain some of the inequality. It's not like companies have a set salary per job; it will vary based on the negotiation stage. I was offered a bonus as part of a pay raise and managed to negotiate so it was part of my regular guaranteed salary.

And might I ask what exactly is wrong with being attracted to people outside your own race/ethnicity? Is it just because it's some white men (who are apparently all that is wrong and evil in the world in some peoples eyes) that are attracted to "WoC"? Plenty of "men of color" are attracted to very fair skinned women too you know. Is that ok since there aren't white males involved? What about the "WoC" who are attracted to white men? Is that ok or not ok? Are people suppose to repress the physical traits they find attractive in others and just stick to their own race/ethnicity (because I would personally see that as taking a large step back in the wrong direction)? Or should people just repress all feelings of physical attraction period because if you find someone especially beautiful/hot/sexy/handsome ext... over any particular trait you must be "victimizing" them in some way?

A few I can think of is:
Sexually misconduct in the military, and how alarming it is.
The treatment and endangerment of sex trade workers that are nearly exclusively women.
And old white fuckers trying to tell women what they can do with their bodies. Any more ideas?

young black fuckers trying to tell women what they can do with their bodies.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

Well, when white people have privilege, then they all have at least one issue in common-- the lack of privilege.  Makes sense to me.
