Where are you hanging out that the words 'gender essentialist' are even being muttered? What the hell does that even mean?

[(Anonymous)]

It means "thinking that because a person is of a certain gender, they have particular qualities pertaining to that particular gender". Like, "you're a woman? So you love pink, dolls and baking." I guess OP tried to call out what he saw as stereotypes (probably the feminisation of one half of a slash couple) and what others saw as breaking gender stereotypes. But that's pure speculation on my part.

[iceyred]

So instead of using commonly understood English, they made up a pretentious label.

OP, you're dealing with the SJW brigade. Run while you can.

[(Anonymous)]

They didn't make it up, actually, it's used in academic contexts. It's verbose and obscure to anyone who's not familiar with the phrase, but it's a real concept.

You beat me by a minute :)

I saw your post just after I clicked send. High five! :-)

[iceyred]

Really? Foot in my mouth then. Color me edumacated.

I still say it sounds pretentious.

[(Anonymous)]

Most things sound pretentious when coming from SJWs.

omg DA ES-JAY-DUBBLEYEWS ARE COMING TO RUIN MY FUUUUUN!! ;______;

fwiw i've never actually seen someone get called a 'gender essentialist' before, which further makes me think the OP is probably a troll

it's a useful term, but it's always used to describe attitudes and beliefs, because on its own it's not really an effective label

but basically yeah it's a rabbit hole of pretentiousness

[inkdust]

I find gender essentialism to be a useful term/concept for discussion (having first encountered it in college), but agreed, OP should run.

[(Anonymous)]

It's a term propagated by kids who spend a lot of money on classes that essentially don't teach you how to balance a checkbook.

[(Anonymous)]

...this could mean so many things.

Is it about people not taking that personal finance course that they really should have taken (because hey, it's useful)? Or is it a reference to people majoring in things that are considered "soft?" Or is it about people taking on too much debt in the process of going to school?
