Comment on Men Overran a Job Fair for Women in Tech

• sudneo@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  My point is that looking at this just as men showing up at a woman thing inherently fails to acknowledge the reality of the discrimination on the workplace, discarding specifically any debate on why that would be the case. In other words, looking at those as just “men” is a sign of the inability to look at discrimination more broadly, and in my opinion reflects really bad on the intention of people who are working towards the elimination of gender discrimination. From my leftist perspective I see these kind of events as a push to extend the struggle to other victims of the system, rather than as those people ruining your turf.

    So we shouldn’t help anyone because it doesn’t help others from different groups. That’s straight stupid.

      I was going to answer, but then I realized that if this is what you chose to understand from my comment(s), probably that means you don’t want to have a conversation. I will save my time, if you don’t mind.

    It’s not an event for “all marginalized people” or “anyone who experiences discrimination” are you capable of reading

      I am, and in fact I have explicitly challenged this very same intention. I have explicitly mentioned that I feel is harmful to certain objectives not to extend the struggle to more oppressed categories, by using the power gathered (arguably expresses by having such large sponsors).

      If you don’t feel like trying to understand my point and choose to just post edgy one-liners, there is no need to have the conversation at all. You can let me know, I will block you and I will spare some notifications to myself and some reading for yourself.

        So leave it to a marginalized group to help a more marginalized group? Why not shit on the ones at the top who aren’t helping anyone, rather than the group of women who managed to pull together resources over years to help a specific group? I agree there should be resources available for other marginalized groups too, but this reads like rich people pitting the poor against the middle class so they don’t realize who is actually taking almost everything for themselves.

        I’ll do us both the favor, actually.

  none of the “men” at these conferences were privileged.
