Re: So... Manslamming

I'm inclined to think that this trend of treating general antisocial behaviors as major social justice problems is a way for people who don't want to have to tackle actual major social justice problems to feel like they're doing something and contributing to the conversation.

(Not that there's no place for discussing how men and women are conditioned to treat space differently, because there is. Men definitely are given the message that they should take up space and be intrusive, whereas women are given the opposite message. But focusing on little bits like that ultimately doesn't change very much)

My sense is that it's partly that, but partly also kind of like the old line about how when the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. The same way that a Marxist would probably analyze all of these things as the result of class conflict and say that the only solution is revolution, people in this case are going to attribute it entirely to the patriarchy and say that the only solution is this kind of online movement.

I do agree that it's also got something to do with scale, though.

You make a very good point.

YUP. Most of my frustration with the tumblr version of social justice is, it shoves EVERYTHING into half-assed privilege theory, when that's just not the case. Systems interlock, but there are LOTS of lenses to view and filter the world.

The problem comes when you're frantically trying to find the CORRECT lens/es with which to view the situation.

This is how I feel about the whole guys-sitting-with-their-legs-spread thing. Yeah, it can be rude if it encroaches on someone else's space and yeah, boys aren't taught not to take up space the ways girls are, but as a feminist I don't really get the point of making this about sexism. I think it's just lazy slouching. I doubt men sit with their knees primly pressed together when alone or among other men.

Re: So... Manslamming

They really are kind of...missing the point. Because yeah, the whole "spreading" thing isn't about being able to touch people; it's about comfort, and about the fact that there's a much lower standard of "propriety" for men than there is for women. So, these people are busy focusing on the behavior itself and thinking it's a form of overt intimidation while completely ignoring the actual issue, which is that men and women are conditioned to behave differently (not that there aren't some creepy guys who purposely get touchy-feely and invade women's space, because oooooh they soooo exist. But most men are just sitting the way they're used to sitting, and they've been told their whole lives that it's perfectly acceptable to sit that way).

They don't seem to have gotten that sexism (and any kind of systemic prejudice, really) is propped up by subconscious bias. And it's really, really dangerous and counterproductive to start thinking that every prejudiced person is a cardboard cut-out villain who knows and owns the fact that s/he's prejudiced.
