Him/Kerry have a bit of a soft spot for Petri and know how much the site means to her so I thought he was just getting up in arms about that.

this sounds dangerously self destructive

The lesson here is don't bluff, don't threaten to cut off a friendship of 5 years over of all things, that forum post, unless you mean it. You're concerned about me being selfdestructive while pulling that, oh boy.

i wasnt bluffing big guy. i got no tolerance for that kinda ignorance

Wrapping your head around something as an abstraction usually isn't going to get you as far as learning about it up close and personal.

So yes, people who are lower class are smarter about lower class issues. It's not really debatable.

Do you think that being very cautious about the way you speak to people "less-privileged" than you is, in a way, pitying them? IMO, that's a very condescending thing in itself.

it's not about the way i speak to people who are less privileged than me, it's about the tendency for me to think that i know better than the people who are less privileged about issues that impact them more than me, if that makes sense. it's like how i can't talk about racial inequality as an authority because i don't experience it.

That's where I disagree a bit. I think those other opinions matter a lot in those situations. You can't just completely invalidate (or consider less of) someone's opinion because they're just as much a part of that society as the people experiencing oppression. Those opinions don't have to be in-line with each other or even correcthe, but you should definitely not try to reform your opinion based on whether or not you're oppressed more than someone else.

i kind of agree and also kind of disagree. of course, all opinions matter, but when you're talking about an issue that you have no personal experience with at all, and that disproportionately impacts a group of people, it's really important to listen to what the group of people are saying.

i'm not saying you should reform your opinion based on what people think, but you shouldn't presume that you know more about an issue than the people who actually experience it/live it every day

Personally I don't think about gender issues because it's boring. I'm a monster I know.

Instead of illustrating why wont you just get over there and try to have a conversation and see what they think for yourself :]

i sincerely like to think that i try! the school i go to is not rich by any means, and it allows me to be friends with people from a lot of different backgrounds/life experiences, which is lovely and great.

I dont think you should engage in any discussion if you're just going to state your opinion and not listen to the other - which happens a lot.

when u engage someone over something PC like feminism, race issues, gender issues, bigotry, etc u should stop for a moment and consider what goal ur actually trying to achieve there -- if ur actively trying to sway people's minds for the better or provide a net positive to the world and displaying some empathy towards why someone might think the things that they do - then great!

if ur just doing spewing sh*t because u want everyone else to know that ur educated and would NEVER blaspheme then ur probably a goddamn sanctimonious narc and u should f*ck off
