Every single movement that is big enough has its share of utter idiots. And because they are easy targets, they are often used to attack such movement by generalizing their statements.
Gloria Steinem is before Twitter's time and was legitimately big when you had to put yourself in front of news cameras and be on stages in front of people to speak your message and convince them face to face to believe in it. Typing a screed on reddit or a pithy statement on Twitter can get a ton of engagement but its almost entirely conversational; almost passive. Steinem cut her teeth in the 60s and 70s and got people's blood up good and proper.
For some reason whenever I think of that flavour of feminism the name that pops into my head is always Andrea Dworkin.
A lot of the more outlandish stuff attributed to Dworkin wasn't actually said by her, though, she got smeared pretty hard, and people keep repeating misinformation about her.
I don't think that's true, I doubt Steinem advocated that it was wrong for women to have children.
You could make an argument that the only character in many stories with any real agency is the villain. Typically the hero is primarily a reaction to the villain, pushed into action in response to the villain expressing their agency unfettered. I'd question Eve as the villain of the garden of eden - I'd give that title to the serpent.

The serpent is the main villain, yes; Eve is in ways a victim.
I could speculate this is because villains are often disruptors of an otherwise peaceful or orderly situation. But to be a disruptor requires a particular set of motivations, actions, etc. outside the norm, which may appear like greater agency. And yes, therefore, they are also likely to compel the hero to be reactive.

was wondering when people were gonna finally notice this, been trying to bring it up on various occasions to nowt but deaf ears. it's even darker than the headline cos the white south Africans have been wanting weapons and money so they can remain in south Africa and violently carve out a new ethnostate, and have been outspoken about disappointment of just getting this "half measure" fast-tracked immigration with the barest minimum of vetting instead - (also it's being justified through the conspiracy theory that white farmers are being genocided over there, in case anyone was starting to think this wasn't fucked up enough) - add to that the diplomat has already been banned from America by the trump admin for daring to call any of this out, it would seriously behove behoooooove those curious to look further into this than the headline, cos that's presenting an extremely sanitised whitewashed overview of the situationUS grants asylum to 54 white Afrikaner South Africans, reports say

Feminism has put a lot of thought into many things. Not all thoughts are worth having. Rationalism is a mistake.
Yeah, I saw two graphs with US citizens with European ancestry separated from Latinos, etc, and one with them together. Hence, my question is because, as always, you gotta look at the definition of the word (white in this case).
Yeah, as stated above. These number are including people that would not normally be classed as white. Hence me asking about LatinosIt's literally the first Google result when searching "white population in us".

While I can categorically stated that seeing the world down one lens warps your view, not looking down the lens sometimes is a bigger mistake

In that there is some truth.
It takes religion to hard-bake dead-ends and errors into belief for eternity.
People use generative artificial intelligence to troubleshoot technical problems, churn out anime-inspired images based on their personal photos, and drive university professors who teach undergrad courses to the darkest pits of despair.
But are the applications of artificial intelligence limited to worldly matters?
On today’s episode, we discuss how strings of words generated by mindless neural network predictions over tokenized inputs are burrowing into our very souls. First, we speak to Rolling Stone journalist Miles Klee, who recently published a fascinating investigation into people who have fallen into spiritual fantasies because of their conversations with ChatGPT. And then Annie covers how conservative author Rod Dreher sees the devil in AI chatbots.
Have you heard the good news of our lord and savior: byte pair encoding tokenization?
