Trigger warning Meet ‘Generation Snowflake’ – the hysterical young women who can’t cope with being offended

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1254262/meet-generation-snowflake-the-hysterical-modern-kids-who-cant-cope-with-being-offended/

The modern face of feminism...which should be renamed, totalitarianism.

Yet, their opinions that bother others are totally allowed of course.

Do you count yourself among their numbers, because all anyone here ever sees you do is whine about whatever imagined affront you have most recently endured.

I had to peel a bag of potatoes this very morn, and 3 carrots.

Oh Gosh, I don't envy you. I simply go buy potatoes and carrots that are already pre-peeled, so I don't have to peel it myself.

Comments such like this one and the one above, it makes me wonder how and why I would want to turn the clock back to the 50s simply because I disagree with modern feminism?

If you're against the men's right's movement, does that mean you hate men and want men to be slaves?

I'm all in for equal rights, just not a movement that really seeks superior rights over others. The men's rights movement is no better than the feminist movement.

I would like a movement that supports both genders equally, not a lopsided movement, which feminism is. Just because feminism is PC and how things were in the past, that doesn't give the movement a free ticket to act like how it is today. There needs to be a line and once it's crossed, it needs to be called out upon.

"The modern face of feminism...which should be renamed, totalitarianism. "

Well you better rename it right now because the author of the book is a Woman.

"Do you count yourself among their numbers, because all anyone here ever sees you do is whine about whatever imagined affront you have most recently endured. "

That's what you see because you don't like him.

Anyway, it should be out of the way that this is not feminism. Kids kill themselves over Facebook posts and that is very very wrong. When I was a kid we had a saying "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me".

According to :

(sorry, had to remove the link because it caused a long long column width, just search for it - "how many kids kill themself over cyberbullying")

About three times as many boys commit suicide than girls in California. We are talking California here remember. The home of the ultraliberals who are about to run out of money and owe more than the whole country of Russia.

The problem with these kids is they all want to be pom pom girls or football stars, and they just don't get the idea that everyone can't be that. You have to excel. But now with the educational standards dropping and becoming softer so they are not left behind, there is less impetus to succeed. You know, they will pass you on a grade even if you flunked, but they won't let you on the football team unless you can play.

It is this sense of entitlement and it has nothing to do with feminism. Most Women can still be intimidated. Not that it is right to do so, but can. You have to know how to do it actually, and then you can intimidate anyone except those stronger than you. And with a stronger mind. Just being able to bench press more does not cut it.

But this goes back to the early years. These days if your kid says "Fuck you" to you you take them aside and say that is not nice. In the old days you got a smack upside the head and "Go to your room and stay there". And back then there was no internet, and very few kids even had a phone in their room. Nowadays you have to send them to the Parents room where there are no video games, bluetooth, twitter, internet, cable TV and surround sound.

You know RM, you had a good point but you really fucked up conflating it with feminism. Adam Lanza felt like an outcast because of social media, and really that probably should be addressed, but you think he was a fucking feminist ? (actually if the shrinks didn't drug him up it might not have happened)

But the social media is not what needs work, it is the kids. When I was a kid there were bullies out in the schoolyard. You could get hurt, maybe even bones broken. Permanent damage like to the eyes or gonads or something. They would want to take your lunch money, which I admit never happened to me but it happened to plenty of kids.

Kids need to be taught to be strong, at least mentally. Life is not all fun and games. some people do not like you and never will. They will say nasty shit about you. This is part of life. And really, if any kids are reading this which IS possible, if you can't take it go ahead and off yourself. Cheat yourself out of the rest of your life. Like maybe having kids and a nice car and house, find a good olman or olady. You gonna end it all over what someone says ?

Shit, when I was like 5 years old and asked the olman where Ma was he said she was dead, multiple times. He almost killed me a few times. These kids have problems because someone fucks with them on the internet ? I say FUCK BACK.

Things have got to change but it is not the social media, it is not the rules, it is the kids. They have to get it in their heads that so the fuck what what this asshole says. Fukum. You can post too you know, do it. Discredit the asshole. (even if what he said was true, that is the way the world works)

T^T

I kindly disagree.

Feminism gives women the sense of entitlement to have it all when many women don't have what it takes to have it all. So therefore, blame patriarchy.

Termy, feminists have safe spaces. In one case, said by Christina Hoff Sommers, even their dog was triggered.

That is such a huge fucking laugh.

Potato peels are where all the nutrients are. The white stuff is empty carbs which turn into fat.

I try not to peel carrots for the same reason, but have to score the outside with something so the peels don't become a nuisance in whatever stew or soup. If you are just eating them after like steaming them, just rub them good with a scrubber to get most of the dirt off. Actually some carrots are different and their skin is bitter and will fuck up the flavor, but if you scrub them good you get enough of it off to get rid of that and still have some nutrition. And potatoes, I have made mashed potatoes with the skins, but I usually use red potatoes when I do that. But really I do not cook much anymore.

T^T

ETA, you know they sell those peels because they have nutrients. It is mixed into all kinds of animal food. They try to give animals good nutrition because they make money, the bigger they get the more they make so keeping them alive is a good idea. But for humans, I defy you to find ONE doctor who will tell you to take mineral supplements like they give cattle. The difference is they make more money when you get sick.

Things are very different here.

The article you posted isn't about feminism. It highlights a really big issue, however - The snowflake syndrome is very real, it applies to both young men and young women and it drives me nuts. Fuck me... who in their right mind would ban sombereros in a mexican restaurant for pete's sake.

It's utterly predictable that you would try to link this one with feminism, a topic about which you are deeply conflicted and confused.

Feminism is not about giving women an advantage, it is about giving them equal treatment. That is the whole point of feminism.

The male opponents of feminism fear it because they don't have what it takes to compete on an equal footing, and as I have said before, I feel sorry for them, right up to the point when they start whining.

[ED to add a "not", (which anyone who knows my position would have expected to be there)]

Yeah, and what if people wearing sombreros were out walking on the street ? Should that be prohibited ? But two guys kissing and necking is OK ? I am not being homophobic here, I think that even guys and girls should not be necking, like on the bus. Don't you want a little privacy ? But even to find it offensive they are not hurting anyone.

This world is getting too crazy. We either need to kill about five billion people or just die and let them take over the place. And you know what ? If they take over the place I am sure they will be extinct soon. Maybe people with brains can find somewhere to hide...

Crazyml, who are the ones creating safe spaces again? Oh that's right, feminists.

Except when women are treated better. The empathy gap.

I don't fear it, I laugh at it. I laugh at the sheer stupidity and ironies of it.

It's just as silly for me to say that women are against the men's rights movement because they don't have what it takes to compete on an equal footing.

The article was written by Claire Fox, late of the Revolutionary Communist Party.

I hadn't realised that you were a Communist, RM. In fact I thought you hated lefties. What brought about the change?

If what you claim about her is true or not, it still doesn't make the point of the article wrong.

Nice attempt to shift the goalpost.

So the "Sun" is no longer bashing Jerries or Brussels for a change. Now bashing "modern kids".
Of course the "Sun" is known all over for not caring much about facts.

The "Sun" is known all over for catering for those that are, well, not the sharpest knives in the drawer ... gotcha.

Yep, this is the Claire Fox who once co-published 'Living Marxism'. Now, though, she heads up a group called 'The Institute of Ideas'. "Claire Fox is, if not the devil, then someone who holds devilishly unsettling views. In her time, she has stood up for Gary Glitter's right to download child porn ..." [http://www.theguardian.com/media/2005/nov/19/comment.radio]

The article to which you link in your OP comes from The Sun, which is widely regarded as Britain's lowest-brow, right wing newspaper. So, I suppose it could rely upon its readership being too dense to know or care who wrote the piece on which they based their article.

Peon, as usual, you lefties attack the source or the person who made the article instead of what is being actually said.

Intellectual bankruptcy as I see.

For example, Pauline Hanson says many things I disagree with. On the other hand, she makes good points. So should I just ignore them good points for what other points she made in the past?

It seems that you are trying to run away from the actual topic and change it into the person who made it. You are making personal and not political

If a "source" is unreliable and not fact based, just spreading (usually biased) opinion, it has no claim to be even "in business" intellectually.

Not even bankrupt - not in business from the start.
