It’s a shame when science gets confused with politics. In anthropology this was an issue that came up a lot, that in studying culture or critiquing culture there were dilemmas resulting from “privilege, race (white looking into nonwhite cultures), appropriation, etc” a good professor would immediately throw out these claims and point out that much of these discussions were political in nature and held no true weight in academic settings. In fact, even stunted anthropological research where results could cause a group to be offended. (A big example would be genetic proof of migration from tribes who believed they were “First Nation” and always existed in one place) many of those papers would be pressured into not being published due to the backlash it would cause. Or the pressure not to participate in ceremonies due to “appropriation” or the pressure not to write findings if you were white as it would be “observations from the oppressor” I genuinely love cultural anthropology and it taught me a great deal about human nature and the similarities that almost all cultures hold. However we risk losing much of those sciences simply on the belief that they are controversial in today’s political climate.

Not only Reddit... everyone I fucking knew was like this in real life. Now they foam at the mouth in favor of the clintons and if you bring up any of their former opinions they act like they somehow “overcame brainwashing” Like dude... a few years ago you were complaining about how the media is owned by 5 conglomerates and now you believe every damn thing they say. See the irony? No? Ok.

I would have downvoted you for the run on sentence and I hate censorship. Ew

If it makes you feel better I’m a woman and I’ve been banned from a lot of subs for being sexist. I just think feminism has become bullshit
