I know SRS on average is pretty strongly against second wave feminism; I haven't looked into it too deeply, but what I have heard repels me, especially as a trans woman. However, I find it hard to believe an entire movement is without some valuable ideas. So: What do you people consider worth salvaging from the second wave movement?

I don't know if other people are aware of this, but the game Rock Band has a lot of Grateful Dead songs available for purchase - fifteen, specifically. They're a dollar a piece (80 MS points) and well worth it, I think.

Casey Jones

Sugar Magnolia

Franklin's Tower

I Need a Miracle

Cold Rain and Snow

Doin' That Rag

Don't Ease Me In

Got into an argument with this person about violence against women. They cited several stories that say there is more abuse against men than women and by women than men. I don't have any counter-evidence that's not anecdotal; maybe one of you have something more substantive to say on it.

Anyone know what happened here? A couple people are saying a "thread critical of SRS got deleted" because we "have our fingers in a lot of pies," which is an idea too absurd to contemplate.

It came up in that super-big SRSPrime thread about ableism a while back, but the person who complained deleted their profile between then and now, so I can't link to it. So: Is the beep boop meme and the beep boop robot ableist against people on the autism spectrum?

edit: Also, if this is a better fit in SRSMeta, let me know.

So, in 1990 Spike Lee was accused of racism for his movie Mo' Better Blues - specifically, anti-Semitism. There were two Jewish characters who own a club in the movie, and they are every stereotype of a Jewish person you can imagine; they're basically portrayed as money-obsessed, cheating sharks (who are especially litigious and enjoy guilting people).

Lee wrote an editorial and did a lot of interviews to defend himself, and I've heard some people say they agree with him, which surprised me. Plus, there's plenty of talk about how black people can't be racist - which I agree with, as long as it's against white people. I'm not really sure how to feel myself. If a white person had made it, I w

Which is preferable? I admit, I know nothing about the situation. (I naturally use Native American unless a Native American uses another term.) I mean, yeah, probably it's preferable to use whatever the actual tribe name is, but if you don't know that, what should you use?

I came upon this SRSD post from a few months ago (I'm not sure how exactly, I was following links) http://www.reddit.com/r/SRSDiscussion/comments/plxn3/body_modification_and_privelege/ and I got a little bit rankled at the OP and the use of privilege. But then I saw a mod posting positively about it, and I assume that the SRS mods know more about these types of conversations than I do. How do other people feel about it?

EDIT: A better attempt to explain why I posted this. From what I remember at the time, we had had an increased amount of people from other parts of reddit misunderstanding SRSD and using the lessened rules to get away with dumb posts. I wasn't sure if this post had been a th

I don't know, it sounds like the guy feels shame for what he did. It doesn't seem to me like it's ripe for SRS or something. (Plus if he already feels really guilty about the event and a bot redirects him to SRS, I'd feel bad if he saw everyone making fun of him and felt even worse.)
