Israel already did their strike, and it actually had casualties!
Iran’s strike was the symbolic one.
I honestly thought this was The Onion just based on the headline alone.
It’s like we live in two different realities.
One for the US and Israel
And another for the rest of the world
The imagery that comes to mind is a special israeli kid facing a football goal, ball at his feet. Behind the kid with the ball is an american, cheering him on and encouraging him. Across from them is an iranian goalkeeper.
The israeli kicks the ball, the american cheers and praises as the ball slowly rolls across the grass. The iranian goalkeeper dives dramatically in the wrong direction, allowing the ball to roll in.
The american raises the drooling israeli child onto his shoulders while the stadium erupts into praise and celebration of the kid’s accomplishment.
It seems like they all behave like spoiled teenage boys
I haven’t been living for long but is this because of patriarchy or simply gender agnostic idiocy?
Whose brilliant idea was eye for an eye again?
What does gender have to do with this!?
Patriarchy is quick to war and values physical aggression. If we were ruled by matriarchy the wars would be sparse and pragmatic. No dick measuring contests on geopolitical arena.
You can disagree of course but you must surely notice that men are more prone to aggression and seek physical fights.
Misandry is gross, too.
Well it’s a nifty word to prohibit certain discussions and make everyone feel ok at all times. But not talking about something won’t make it disappear.
It’s a word that describes a phenomenon with precision, which often allows for more nuanced conversations that are ultimately more challenging and useful. I’m not advocating for your silence by using it, just illustrating that your actions are also gross.
You’re conflating “men” with “patriarchy,” which just reinforces harmful stereotypes about gender and sex. You’ve created a binary where one side is “bad” and the other is “good,” and used stereotypical narratives about gender to do it. You’re using the same harmful logic that the people I’m sure you most disagree with use.
You’re using the same harmful logic that the people I’m sure you most disagree with use.
Eye for an eye, you might say
I think you’re ignoring all the bloodthirsty queens who’ve ruled throughout the ages. Aggression and conflict is a human issue, not a male one.
