He kind of redeems himself in the middle by talking about slavery, but his closing line contained so much beardhurt that I simply had to save it for posterity:
But what do I know. I'm just a white cis male patriarchal oppressor. Fuck me right?

That actually came off as Oppression Olympics to me. Things sucked for both groups in the 19th century especially if you were a member of both.
Yeah, I know what you mean. Your argument has to be pretty weak if you're comparing a historical group against antebellum slaves to make them appear well-treated.
Fuck me right?
Correct!
no don't~! save your fucks for feminists
propaganda on Reddit
Right?! Oh no wait, I'm being too positive. I thought he said about Feminism. Silly me!
Yeah! The civil war was sooooo long ago. Also, it's so unfair that men died in wars for thousands of years while women sat at home and knitted doilies.
Also, he does realize that there were women slaves, too, right? It's not like all women were plantation wives. That was the most that they could possibly hope for.
Ok, like I kind of understand his point. I'm not one for oppression olympics, but lets accept it. So what? Why do you need to go into a fit of rage that someone decided to write about this lesser oppression? Were not going to run out of paper to print books about the Civil War on.
Anyway, there's this really awesome comment chain that leads to this this gem.
That comment chain is awesome. I also saw this one in the wild and it was full of shit, but the article itself is really cool.
Get back to me when a man is affected by sexism against women, will ya?
Lol, like that matters. They don't think that patriarchy has anything to do with men in more dangerous jobs, higher rates of men's suicide, circumcision advocacy, prison rape, or damaging gender roles...
But what do I know. I'm just a white cis male patriarchal oppressor. Fuck me right?
u got that right bb
In reply to /u/rocketsocks on "Oppression by Omission: Women Soldiers Who Dressed and Fought as Men in the Civil War":
Yes folks, this is oppression. Denying people choice, denying them agency, that's oppression. Free people have the right to make choices, even choices that might be seemingly detrimental to themselves, denying them that right is denying their freedom.

I'm losing respect for the feminist movement from all the propaganda on reddit. So fucking what that women couldn't serve openly in the civil war. They should have been allowed to have bank accounts and shit but making this story about how women have been oppressed rings hollow to me when at the time our country had millions of SLAVES. Those people were oppressed. But what do I know. I'm just a white cis male patriarchal oppressor. Fuck me right?

Lol somone had to mention SRS.
We're always called "extreme" or "radical" by shitlords. There is...nothing extreme or radical at all about our brand of feminism. It's pretty much just basic human decency. I guess when you hate women as much as this site does, that's pretty radical. Brb, I'm going to get my bright pink shirt, skateboard, backwards cap and some shades.
