We are less bigoted compared to the past, what the 1720s?
Comment on Women STEM students up to twice as likely as non-STEM students to have experienced sexism
TwilightVulpine@lemmy.world 8 months agoWe can be less bigoted than the past while also having a long way to go still. You could even count as a sign of this improvement that these issues are taken seriously and discussed rather than ignored as just the way things are.
But we can’t take it for granted, because progress is not guaranteed and equality can decline. Say, such as the matter of abortion rights in the US and consequently how pregnancies are policed, leading to possible arrests even for natural miscarriages.
If you acknowledge that we aren’t finished fighting bigotry, I don’t really understand what’s your concern here.

What is good example comment of gaslighting for $400 Alex?
Must be nice being able to go thru life and thinking bigotry doesn’t exist while blaming the people who are reporting it. Yes it is the messenger that is at fault.

TIL The Jungle is a woke moralizing hit piece and enlightened centrists (such as you, good gentlesir) should have dismissed it

I get that clickbait is a thing, but as a community focused on Technology it seems pertinent to consider what the experience of different people in this area is like.
Should we pretend it doesn’t happen so that the journalists don’t “win”? It is upsetting to know that this happens, but I don’t see how we “lose” by being informed. This isn’t someone trolling on social media, it’s the reality of the world we live in.
