I'm sure that's just a coincidence, and that anyone who mentions Dworkin is just very well read.
Mr Grace first made his concerns known in a letter to Tom Tate, mayor of Gold Coast, earlier this month saying he had become distracted by women wearing triangle bikinis on the beach, Australian news site news.com.au reports. He wrote: "One young lady in particular was walking on the footpath on the main road and had the tiniest triangle in front and was as close to naked as anyone could be.
Mr. Grace has base urges and bad thoughts. He likes to think of himself as a Nice Guy and upstanding citizen, maybe even pious and religious. So this makes him uncomfortable, and hurts his ego. He also can't be both a Nice Guy and perv over young girls in bikinis.
He is angry at himself, but this makes him feel bad. He engages in what is called psychological displacement. Rather than be angry at himself, he decides to be angry at the young women he was perving over. "I'm not a perv. It's the young women I'm perving over who are sluts!"
See also Andrea Dworkin on right wing women: right wing women are unable to be angry at the men who (are likely to) hurt them. The men in question are family members, boyfriends, or in positions of (religious) authority. To be openly angry at them is dangerous, and could result in more abuse. So instead they displace that anger onto a safe target which can't fight back: racial and sexual minorities, like trans women.
Eg. JK Rowling, a victim of domestic abuse by her heterosexual former husband, who spends all day on twitter banging on about the incredibly rare members of a tiny sexual minority going to the toilet in a public ladies bathroom, even though the overwhelming majority of rapists of women are heterosexual men.
Reminds me of this (trigger warning for rape):
https://today.tamu.edu/2019/11/19/what-were-you-wearing-exhibit-explores-sexual-violence-myth/
It's is/was an exhibition (set of exhibitions?) which showed what victims were wearing when they were raped.
The whole victim blaming shit is toxic.
Great news to be honest. I hope disney sees a similar spike in profits so they can make more great shows for me to pirate.
Look, no hate, but I always find these kinds of comments funny because I've been reading them for over twenty years.
It's not going to happen, certainly not in any significant numbers.
Hell, look at the fediverse. The vast majority of internet users find signing up to mastodon hard, let alone lemmy. How the hell are these people supposed to install linux, for example when they follow many an 'easy' linux installation guide, but then find Rufus isn't able to create a bootable USB stick in fat32? How are they supposed to verify their data, or hell change the bios settings when the guide they read gives them the wrong key to press to enter the bios? And then if by some miracle they do manage to install linux, you expect them to move away from all the apps they've grown used to? They'll try to install MS office on linux and blame this not working on linux.
TLDR: Gretchen! Stop trying to make mass linux adoption happen! It's not going to happen!
The country only stopped being a dictatorship in the late 80s, and that was only after it emerged they'd tortured a student to death. And it's not as if his successors were particularly clean either.
Hell, watch Squid Game or Parasite. Quite clearly there's something not quite alright in Korean society. Hell, watch Oldboy (2003). Genuinely one of the best (action) movies ever made. That'll also give you plenty of perspective on human nature and Korea.
The k-pop and k-dramas are quite clearly escapism, rather than a reflection of reality.
I've also heard plenty of horror stories about Korean schools from English(often American) language teachers, who were shocked at how bad schools were:
Not Spiritual For Work?
That's normal.
IRC before Constantine there was still a bit of a religious taboo of portraying Jesus (a god), due to the whole bible being against idolatry thing. So it was mostly metaphorical images of a buff shephard, if there were pictures at all, because Jesus was a shephard to his followers, and buff because why wouldn't you make him buff?
After Constantine converted, Christianity was romanised. So the image of Jesus was partly inspired by images of Apollo and Dionysus (hence white, fit and feminine) then later Zeus (hence the authoritative beard). It's not actually inspired by actual Jesus, whose appearance was (perhaps deliberately) not described properly in the New Testament.
The Church is quite good at doing market research and adapting its product for local markets and tastes, basically. See also the whole Christmas tree and Saturnalia gift giving thing, which became Christian traditions.
More David Lynch Dune than Denis Villeneuve Dune.
