Goldsmiths University Diversity officer facing sack

[DotCommunist]

That one kind of answers itself surely.

Sadly spent most of my life dealing with the consequences of choices made about me by my betters. Including being (illegally) sectioned at 14 and forced to take incontincence inducing medication on the basis of a misdiagnosis

thats rough mate, I don't think anyone really knows what the feeling of confinment is till they've done it. You can't leave because the big men will stop you. And they will. And if you get shirty they'll hurt you. At 14, bless your heart thats shite.

There's a difference?

I don't think psychiatric hospitals are synonymous with confusion and pandemonium, no.

 

[Shechemite]

And andysays how many entitled people similar to those commenting on the vice article did you have to interact with today? Were you harassed in the workplace by one or more of them? If so, then you can tell me I'm overreacting.

Grim, sorry to hear that

 

[Orang Utan]

who are you to be questioning my posts? I've been posting for ten years, go and check out my posting record if you think I'm talking about special needs in such an offensive manner.

calling seniority is not on!

 

[equationgirl]

One rule for you, another rule for everyone else, or at least those who you haven't accepted as being here for long enough yet.

Self-appointed special snowflake status

I fail to see how you arrive at such a conclusion but whatever. I'm the special entitled snowflake now.

As a patient they well often are.

Anyway, you asked me about my name. I've given you an answer. Is this going anywhere?

 

[Shechemite]

Hey if people are falling over themselves to point out how little seniority I have bring it on (hides grey hairs under hat)

 

[Shechemite]

Can I be a 'youth' member or something?


Actually no that sounds a bit wrong

Worth checking, remiss not to

Yeah, crap day. Issues with one of the people I work with. *sigh* and thanks. Sorry, I forgot to say thanks.

Ok. Good stuff.

because the situation above could never be interpreted as someone who knows eg objects to ablist comments and has decided to jump on the worst possible interpretation of that comment above and decide to use that to attack her? how often do you deal with that kind of shit?

considering your reaction, i'm going to guess - not often.

lucky you.

meanwhile, other people do. and prefer not to get this kind of shit.

kinda shit like gamrgaters playing at language they don't properly understand

Well it could be interpreted like that. Be a bit paranoid though. Admittedly my question was phrased poorly and a bit paranoid in itself.

Just for Men all the way! or maybe some other product from the shop that isn't branded and priced to mug you off. I looked at womens branded razors the other day thinking 'hey maybe I can save two beans by using a lady shaver which is basically the same razor housed in a different form?'

I was wrong.

So now you're suggesting that being harassed by people at work means you can later overreact to a perfectly reasonable question here, of the sort which you yourself have asked many times. Would you like to explain how that works?

I merely expressed my opinion, mostly to support MiB who was being attacked by more than just you, and you've chosen not to simply say, OK, two sides to this, other opinions are permissible, but instead to go into full on outrage mode.

You really do yourself no favours and provide more ammo for those who want to attack you given any opportunity, justified or not (and that doesn't include either me or MiB).

There's a programme on Britain's Biggest Sexists in BBC3 atm, btw. Back on topic.

If you're including me in #2685 andysays you'd better be clear, eh, cos if you are I'm not letting that pass.

not paraniod.

cause that suggests you think that kind of thing is uncommon. and it isn't.

lot of the stuff that was aimed at the woman this thread was started about were shades of that kind of silencing.

Sorry, this contrived outrage is all a little too much for me - I'll leave you all to it.

I'm at a loss as to understand how you can be the biggest sexist? surely thats MRA people, rapists and them blokes who get the rage cos the judge said they had to pay towards the child

Yes well the use of the word 'special' as a means of degrading those who already are dirt in this society isn't exactly a one off (as in rare in society)

TBH everyone can slip into language that demeans others. No-one's above it. Always good to be checked out. I know I benefit from being challenged.

the question reads like entitled silencing.

how much someone experiences that is directly relevant to whether they will interpret the question in that way.

you do yourself no favors displaying your lack of comprehension and empathy in this way. your instance that only your reading of a situation and your responses could be read as reasonable is a massive display of being a complete dick

as for claiming that she's providing ammunition, that's a silencing trick in and of itself.

so why are you resorting to that kind of shittery?

I did, right up until you decided to have a pop all round.

Maybe they're drawing some kind of ill/non defined distinction between sexists and misogynists?

which is the difference between your question than by the responses to the dialog between you and eg.

Sorry i'm lost, either there's a grammatical issue in your statement or i'm not comprehending

And that isn't an entitled attack on you

it should be Worst not Biggest!

oh yeah, I could make an argument out of that if I was one who argues without honesty or real feeling. I'm getting the impression everyone on this show deserves the salt mines just by thinking about it.
