As for equality, we'll never be truly equal unless we experience at least some of what the oppressed have lived through. So yeah, I don't mind a woman using the term sausagefest, seems only fair when looking back on how men have treated women for much of history.

I have never seen anything that support such a view. What you seem to be saying is that, since one group has been unequally treated in the past, we should treat unequally the other group. And you call unequally treating the other group equality. This conversation is old and is leading to nothing, so this was my last reply. Feel free to reply if you have anything to add/clarify, I will try to read it.
- modfodder 12y agoI don't call unequally treating the other group equality, but I don't believe we can get to the land of equality without the privileged walking through the tunnel of oppression. Maybe I'm wrong, or maybe you have never seen anything to support such a view because your eyes are closed.

- modfodder 12y agoNever said the oppression of the privileged had to equal the prior oppressions, but don't think the privileged snapping their fingers one day and saying it is all o.k. will make it so. You can't abuse a man for decades, set him free and then believe it is all equal.
