Congratulations, this is the stupidest rationalization I’ve ever heard for this. Language isn’t that systematic, especially English spelling
But why are they flying towards the lamp? They don’t fly towards the sun. Or are they flying around the lamp? I’m confused
Every month is moth month if you month your moth

1·9 hours agoAnd I hope by now it is clear, I don’t go into conversations defending the purity of movements.
As I already said, I just debunked this in case you might bring it up. If you never were to do so, fine. Can we please move on? I see how this might have sounded like a personal attack but please believe me that it wasn’t.
The way I see things, the current wave of feminism is using the analytical tool of intersectionality which allows mistakes of the past to be addressed and not to be repeated.
This isn’t too far from what I’m saying either but there are two points I’d like to make:
-
Feminism isn’t a monolith. There are intersectional branches of feminism but there are also transphobic, racist, imperialistic, Zionist, … branches. That’s why I brought up TERFs as an example for bigoted feminists.
-
Your framing makes it seem like earlier feminists realized their errs and opened up. Which might not be wrong but neither is the focus correct. It was black (and queer) feminists that fought their way into the movement. Or rather they had to create their own movement that later fused with feminism. My point is that it’s the achievement of intersectionalism, not of feminism. This might seem irrelevant and it doesn’t really contradict what you said but I think it’s an important aspect you didn’t mention.

Life hack: the forbidden light in the night is less bright but much closer so decide depending on your flying skills which one to go for
Turkish uses ü and ö but no ä so that’s also a combination.
Btw: Swedish used to have the Skandian letters but changed it due to reformation (to be more similar to German) and because their relationship to distance themselves from Norway due to political reasons

3·23 hours agoYou said “feminism evovled to be intersectional”. I pointed out that this isn’t true because there is still anti-intersectional feminism out there and anticipated the argument that this isn’t true feminism. If you were never to make this argument, I guess I waisted some ink.

72·1 day agoStill, the quote “If you’re a man, you take it” in 2026, sounds more like something coming from the manosphere.
He didn’t say it in 2026. So what’s your point here? OP shouldn’t quote Malcolm X because his language is outdated?
This is why feminism evovled to be intersectional.
That’s a very generous reading of events. I would say, intersectional feminism evolved. White – or otherwise exclusive – feminism never ceased to exist. TERFs are still a thing. You can claim, this isn’t true feminism, but that’s the “no true Scotsman” fallacy.

191·1 day agoThis is in part the older, gender neutral usage of “man” meaning “human” and in part ignorance about woman issues. There were black women who felt left out both from black liberation movements and from feminism.
Fun fact: some languages, like Swedish, differentiate between day as in not night (dag) and day as in 24h (dygn)
No spoilers for upcoming political events please. Just wait and see
To play the devil’s advocate: the comment says 20 years ago. Your source is a movie that’s 3 decades old and the scene takes place quite a few decades earlier

You just turned a regular moth month into moth education month.
Seriously, thank you! It makes a lot of sense now
