"Tätermachung vs Objektivierung – Die ausgebliebene Emanzipation des Mannes"

Ein philosophischer Artikel über Vorurteile zwischen den Geschlechtern. Darin beschreibe ich die Folgen typischer Verhalten, die Benzin ins Feuer des Patriarchats kippen. Und wie man dem entgehen kann.

Philudophie Blog | Games, Philosophy, Poems, Misc. · Tätermachung vs Objektivierung – Die ausgebliebene Emanzipation des Mannes | Philudophie BlogWenn Männer und Frauen mit Intentionen zusammenkommen entsteht eine seltsame Dynamik. Aus dem Blickwinkel der Frauen steht die potentielle maßlose und selbstgerechte Objektivierung der Frau durch Männer. Aus dem Blickwinkel der Männer steht die vorurteilsbehaftete Tätermachung durch Frauen. (Wenn ich von "Männern" und "Frauen" spreche, meine ich als-so sozialisiert.)

This is not new behaviour.

IIRC, in 2022, they manipulated the candidature qualifications to exclude Naomi Wu, as it looked like she would win a seat on the board.

Edit: My apologies for the mistake. Different org, but same behaviour patterns. It was the OSHWA that blocked Naomi Wu.

I'm not shitting you. Just flat out said so. Which...ok if he can just do that who cares about being on the board?”

Florida House passes bill to repeal "Free Kill" law

As a single childfree person, I'm abundantly familiar with the attitudes this law came from.

"The law shielded medical providers from accountability in cases of deadly malpractice involving unmarried without dependents."

I just watched this gem iview.abc.net.au/show/made-in- & absolutely loved it. I knew nothing of this massive watershed moment til now, but expect that women 5 or 10+ years older than i might remember it from their younger days. Anyway, IMO this dramatisation / recreation of it is fabulous, & was accompanied by copious gasps from me at the breathtaking #patriarchy, #MaleEntitlement, #sexism & #misogyny, then whoops & roarrrrrrs at each brilliant thing the women achieved. Sensational. 🎉 🥳 👯‍♀️

"Anarchists are quick to recognize that #racism, #sexism, and #homophobia will not simply go away upon the #collapse of #capitalism and they must be fought here and now. These same #anarchists, however, are often unwilling to apply this logic to #speciesism. If we want total #freedom, we must cultivate new relationships in our everyday lives. This means fighting #oppression on every line, including the line of species. Refusing to do so is not coherent with #anarchist and #autonomist practices."

"the whole "MAHA mom" phenomenon is deeply sexist...

Despite all the talk about "toxins," there is not a whiff of... fighting against the #Trump admn's plans to dump increasing amounts of very real #pollution into the #environment. Instead, #women are told to focus their energies on the domestic sphere... giving up hopes of having a #career or even much of a life outside of the home"

Text and pull-quote from article: Text: As Thomas Edsall of the New York Times reported Tuesday, despite Kennedy and Trump's rhetoric about keeping "our children healthy and strong," the administration's policies serve the opposite goal. The administration is rolling back decades of environmental protections that protect children from pollution exposure that is known to cause everything from asthma to cancer. As one expert told Edsall, "It is hard to imagine a more sweeping agenda to make Americans less healthy." Pull quote: The whole "MAHA mom" phenomenon is deeply sexist, and part of the larger MAGA agenda of getting women out of the workplace and back, quite literally, into the kitchen. Text: This is where the "MAHA mom" concept kicks in. Despite all the talk about "toxins," there is not a whiff of energy in the "MAHA mom" movement towards fighting against the Trump administration's plans to dump increasing amounts of very real pollution into the environment. Instead, women are told to focus their energies on the domestic sphere, to shield their own children from threats, many of them imaginary. And wouldn't you know it, but the prescribed way to "protect" children just so happens to be giving up hopes of having a career or even much of a life outside of the home, so that women can dedicate themselves full-time to elaborate food preparation and home remedy routines for the inevitable old-timey diseases kids get when you refuse to vaccinate them.

White supremacy and misogyny are tightly intertwined. This article be the ADL from 2018 explains it well.

Watching iview.abc.net.au/video/ZW4321A, being S2 E2 of #DarbyAndJoan. Within first few minutes i was slackjawed in disbelief at some unexpected #sexism. Greta Scacchi's character Joan Kirkhope, retired senior nurse of 30 years, has taken [with Bryan Brown's Jack Darby] a road crash victim to the local regional hospital, after stabilising her & thus saving her life after coming across the crash scene. In said hospital, local doctor reacts to her obvious medical proficiency with the surprised question "Are you a Nurse?"

Not "Are you a Doctor?", or even "Are you a Doctor or Nurse?", but simply the traditional sexist stereotype. Ofc we viewers do know she's a retired senior nurse, but that's not the point... he doesn't. Why would the scriptwriters do that? Is that an indication of the target viewing demographic for this series, or even the ABC overall... geriatrics of 90+ who grew up in that sexist world?

Ffs 🙄🤦‍♀️

ABC iviewDarby And Joan: Series 2 Episode 2In a small surfing town, Jack and Joan come to the aid of a hit-and-run victim. They learn the local nurse has been implicated in a series of suspicious deaths at the hospital, and many people may have wanted her dead.

We had a customer in who insisted he had to talk to the owner about the issues with his bike.

So when my boss came back from his break, I told him and he got really annoyed. The customer came back a little later, and told my boss the issues. My boss got really annoyed and said couldn't the customer tell me that himself? And he mentioned an incident with his previous mechanic in the old place. The customer insisted on making the boss come up for a second opinion because he didn't trust the (female) mechanic's quote. So my boss told him the exact same thing the mechanic told him, and added a tenner to the quote for wasting his time! 😆

So now I know my boss has hired at least two female mechanics before me (one of them was the lady with us at the bike show. I do wish my boss would tell me how he knows a person when he introduces them!).

You know, I've experienced general bullying, racial abuse and religious abuse, but the only time I've experienced overt #sexism is in my current industry.

In my previous job, I'd frequently be ignored by male customers who would walk past me and look for a man. Once, both I and a female colleague asked a customer if he needed help, he blanked up both, went to a male colleague and was promptly told, "ask one of the two ladies there."

Once I had a customer completely ignore me, then actually walk into the back room. I ran after him and told him he can't just walk into staff areas. He said he needed help. I said I asked you twice if you need help, I could have helped you. When he did eventually get the male member of staff he so desired, he decided to shout at him as well. "Why are you asking be what's wrong with my bike! You're paid to do it! Why don't you tell me!"

I bet when he goes to the doctor, he just sits there refusing to tell the doctor what's wrong.

Later I told one of my homies and he gave him a lecture, and when I said" yes, actually I'm a technician and I could help you if you didn't ignore me", he basically talked over me. I told him, "You're literally ignoring me when I'm talking to you!" He didn't learn. I think women are just invisible to him.

Once I was helping a male customer choose accessories as he was planning on starting to cycle to work. There was another male customer looking towards us. He then asked the CUSTOMER if he can help him. I said, he isn't staff. The second customer ignored me and again asked my customer for help. When the customer said he doesn't work there and that I'm the staff member, he walked off to the till to my male colleague.

Once I was actually building a bike, and a lady came up to the till area asking if someone can help her choose a bike. The supervisor was busy doing admin stuff on the till, so I got up and said I can help. The lady then said, I mean I need someone who knows about bikes.

I WAS LITERALLY BUILDING A BIKE FFS.

Instead I said, yes I know about bikes and went on to show her our range and help her choose the best bike for her. At the end, she's like, you really know a lot about bikes... but of course you do, you work here!

I'm used to men patronising me, but it was a bit weird getting sexism from a female customer. She was fine at the end though. So at least I got a teachable moment out of that.

There was an interview in the trade magazine where a female mechanic had a customer who expressed surprise at seeing a female mechanic. And she thought, he was going to say something about how it's a pleasant surprise or something, instead he said she should do the repair for free since she's a woman.

In 1803, Johan Werfel published a grammar of Danish that was supposedly "for women". It was also both "practical and theoretical".

I digitized the book for the @internetarchive and wrote something about the book for #Lingoblog [In Danish]. I'll try to summarize the most interesting points here! I was curious about what it meant that it was "for women" (besides a general interest in reading old grammar books) 🧵

Today in Labor History March 22, 1972: U.S. Congress sent the Equal Rights Amendment to the states for ratification. It failed. And to this day, women earn 84% of what men do. One of the exceptions is public education, where teachers’ unions have fought and won the right to collectively bargain salaries based on years of experience, not gender. The first ERA was introduced to Congress in 1923. The 1972 had wide bipartisan support, including by presidents Nixon, Ford and Carter, and seemed destined to pass. However, Phyllis Schlafly mobilized conservative women against the amendment, arguing that it would disadvantage housewives, make them eligible for the draft and cause divorcees to lose custody of their children. This killed the ERA in the 1970s. From 2017-2020, several states have ratified the ERA. However, it is uncertain whether these ratifications are legal, since they occurred after the deadlines. Schlafly went on to become a major player in the anti-abortion and anti-feminist and anti-LGBTQ rights movements.

I'm like, Generation Jones, but Boomers aren't my enemy. We are fighting the same fight that has been going on for well over 60 years. It's the fight against #WhiteSupremacy. It's the fight against #Racism, #Sexism, and #Misogynoir. The fight against generational wealth nazi oligarchs like the Koch brothers.
Dismantling democracy is their last gasp, because they know a minority White country will not bend to their will, and that day is coming soon.
Nothing to do with generations.
