Really, a chronic problem on lemmy. People are feminists or communists or bipoc or atheists or linux users, and so literally anything they don’t like, somehow, some way, is caused by the patriarcy/capitalists/racism/organized religion/Bill Gates. But when you start blaming Bill Gates for your stubbed toe, it becomes really obvious that what is actually happening is you are projecting your personal problems onto an external boogeyman as some kind of escapism.
Just implying it’s a gender issue is fascist by itself, and sexist. Though the sexism might be warranted if the commenters opinion has good reasoning behind it, the implications of hours of reasoning needed to offer enough information to be used as a basis for the opinion is an admission of being at fault to me.
It shouldn’t be hard to say: I live in a fascist state.
Instead it becomes: I’m a fascist, but here is why it’s not my fault
