Intersectional Chicken

[Angry Floof]

I love how threads on any topic related to gender become a sausage fest of male oblivion.

But I'm willing to bet none of you manspread anymore now that it's been pointed out to you and how ridiculous you are.

So run into a few women. You'll figure it out eventually and move on to some other type of comical posturing for us to make fun of.

We'll see who's laughing when men stop putting the toilet seat down. Bwahahahaha!

Well, all of us will still be laughing. We know how to put a toilet seat down for ourselves. Or at least most of us. Women who complain about such a non-issue, unless they are invalids or somehow lacking self determination or intellectual capacity to prepare a toilet seat for their own butts as appropriate when needed, also deserve to be laughed at.

Yep. I always thought the main impediment to implementing gender neutral bathrooms is not the threat of some guy walking in, pulling his pants down and swinging his dick around a bunch of ladies, but the fact that the all the women are going to get triggered by men leaving the toilet seats up.

Yeah, we're triggered by toilet seats. That's the ticket!

Is it a need to save face or some weird drive to dominate that inspires you to just make up stupid cartoons as arguments? I mean, if you read over your posts now and then after the fact, do you ever realize how dumb they are?

You are making the flawed assumption that any of that stuff is based on scientific inquiry.

And how would you possibly know what I'm assuming?

In any case, some of it does appear to be based on scientific enquiry, regardless of what I'm assuming. I don't even have to assume it.

This:

Further understanding incivility in the workplace: The effects of gender, agency, and communion.
https://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037/apl0000289

"Across three complementary studies, results indicate that women report experiencing more incivility from other women than from men, with this effect being amplified for women who are more agentic at work".

This isn't "goading" (by a mod), right mods? No double standard here at all.

If you want to talk to the moderators in their role as moderators, you need to use the 'report post' button (the little triangle at the bottom left of each post). Comments directed at the moderators in thread are likely to be missed and/or ignored, and may well contravene the rules of the board.

Having said which, this post is probably also in technical violation of those rules. What can I say, I like to live dangerously

Floof, you and me all in violation of the rules. We are all bad ass.

This thread makes me very happy that I've stayed in my small city for the past twenty years. People here are quite friendly and polite with few exceptions. Both black and white people will usually accommodate each other if one is walking towards the other. I've held the door open for both black and white men and women if it's more convenient for me to do so. We say hello to strangers and often start up conservations in places as mundane as the grocery store or the ladies rest room.

Most men in my city are polite enough to put the toilet seat down in gender neutral bathrooms. You know why? It's a fucking seat. A seat is supposed to be placed so one can sit on it. And guess what? Some men are even talented enough to be able to pee both sitting or standing. In some cultures, men do sit while peeing. I"m married to such a gifted man, who can pee standing up or sitting. In forty years together, he's never left the toilet seat up, not even when he pees standing up. Perhaps I should have thanked my late mother in law for teaching him good manners.

Now I do have an issue with some women here in town, and almost everywhere. They don't bother to wipe the pee off of the toilet seat if they made a mess, so they expect the next user to clean up after them. It reminds me of my favorite nursing professor who put up a little poem on the inside of the bathroom doors. "if you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the seat."

I know it's very important with all the massive problems facing the world that we intelligent people should take time to discuss this extremely important issue, which is why I responded to this valuable thread. /s

I'm still trying to figure out the intersectional part of this chicken game.

Note she went out of her way to describe herself as a white woman and how much importance she placed on her gender (and maybe her race). Maybe she would step out of the way of a black man, or even more likely for a black woman.

Whenever you hear them somebody say "intersectional" that's usually a good sign that they are all wrapped up in identity politics and may be on the verge of saying something racist/sexist. Or not. It is possible to talk about intersectionality without being in such a mindset, but it sure is rare.

Still not seeing the intersectional part of the chicken game. A woman refusing to yield space to a man might be engaging in a passive-aggressive form of feminist activism, but where's the intersectionality?

I did the 'sharp elbows' thing once. I was standing in line at the campus cafeteria. The line wasn't moving because the servers were changing out the empty food containers with fresh ones. I was holding a couple to textbooks and reading a paperback as I waited. The guy behind me kept jostling me in the back, bumping and pushing as he (perhaps unconsciously) created more space for himself. After the third or fourth impact I shifted the textbooks I was holding to my right hip which meant my right elbow was bent at 90 degrees on that side. The next time he jostled me he got an elbow in his side, and the next, and the next. He started giving me unfriendly looks. I kept reading and not moving. He finally stopped bumping into me.

There is no intersectionality if it is generic man vs generic woman. But note how she went out of her way to state she is a White woman with a lot of privilege. The intersectionality would be if she's playing "Patriarchy Chicken" and a black man is playing "Race Chicken". Who steps aside and what does not stepping aside prove? If neither steps aside, do they see him as sexist and she as racist? Or maybe they'll both presume one but not the other? And what if a homeless white guy is playing "Poverty Chicken" with both of them? The intersectionality goes wild.

Those are good questions. Very intersectional.

Not really. Black men and white women both experience the arrogance and callous disregard of white males in our daily lives. A black man and a white woman playing intersectional chicken would most likely each move out of the other's way.

It's not something the more oblivious white men among us would understand, even when it's explained to them.

As a white man, I need to engage in a battle to the death against other white men at least fifteen to twenty times per day when neither of us are willing to step aside and we have to use combat to prove our superiority over the other.

It's a little annoying, especially when I've got a tight deadline at work and need to get into the office without so many interruptions, but that's just one of the costs using public transportation. The alternative would be to drive in with my car, but the parking rates in downtown Toronto are ridiculous, so that's not really an option.

It's usually just kind of comical body posturing more often than violence, but yeah, that's a pretty accurate description of the animal brain of unaware males.

You should find a parking garage that takes your White Privilege card. You can park for 72 cents on the dollar.

Well, if their opening move is to comically pose and my opening move is to pull a gun and fire, that's their own fucking fault and, legally speaking, they died of stupidity so it's not murder on my part.

Ya, but you're forgetting taxes and, as a Canadian, I'd never be so impolite as to not add a decent tip to the station attendant on top of that. It's still quite expensive.
