Eh, I'm all for equality. Women can be racist too!

Yeah, that's probably why Trump keeps winning the white woman vote in spite of everything he's ever said or done to or about women..

Text should read "every third American couple". I dont think this applies anywhere else and has anything to do with sexuality...

As a hetero person I can say it 100% applies in Texas

[–] 1SimpleTailor@startrek.website 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

This definitely applies to a good number of gay couples in Texas too. Hetero Women do have it worse in this regard though. Progressive Southern woman's options are pretty much:

A) Be celibate

B) Move somewhere else

C) Settle for the Most Racist Man Alive

Single Hetero Progressive men are unicorns in the American South, and them being Progressive is no guarantee they will treat a woman any better. They often come with their own batch of issues and a lot of them are fuckboys.

I’ll just add that to my dating profile: “I’M A NON-FUCKBOY UNICORN”

Spoiler: She is also racist, but in a more subtle way.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

When I was a manager at a tech company this pattern female white woman was about 50% of our entry-level team. Every single day was a new journey into essential oils, herbalife, astrological signs and dreamcatchers. Their racism is there, it is subtle, but it's also entirely a product of trying to appease the angry people in their lives.

These women are dim enough to be led to ANY way of thought. And I say this with kindness, they are often good parents and have sympathetic lives and want simple things. But holy shit their families and husbands and partners are literally demons in human flesh influencing them to the worst ways of thinking and feeling, I've gotten to witness them in the background on zoom being violent pigs and screaming at their infant children loud enough to pick up on the mic through a closed door.

The one thing that you don't see that is shockingly common though is the physical abuse. As funny as this cartoon is, it doesn't show the finger-shaped bruises up and down the woman's arms.

It's even worse when it's a mixed race couple!

So... are you the most racist man alive?

You didn't get the Salon article?

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Real men read Saloon

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

Yes, and I blame my wife for it.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 27 points 2 weeks ago (10 children)

Casting aspersions much? The vast majority of couples I know are hetero, and not one person is like either of these caricatures. Let's not pretend sexual preference has anything to do with these stereotypes. It's more likely to be the culture or social system you are familiar with.

This means YOU are the third couple of course /j

Are you claiming to know a representative set of Americans, and 1/3 of that representative set is not racist?

I think you're suffering from selection bias..

I think the gag is that this person reading Salon, a progressive media outlet, is a person claiming or projecting progressive values yet is dating a bigot. Progressive dating regressive.

Aaaaah thank you very much. That helped

Post stool samples

[–] exasperation@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Among Gen Z and Millennial Americans (especially the educated straight white middle class) there's been a divergence in political affiliations between men and women. But people still couple up, so hetero couples are seeing a lot more combinations of politically engaged progressive women who are in relationships with politically apathetic men (who also tend to be somewhat sexist and racist).

This comic points out that juxtaposition.

My only thing I know about Salon is that at one point, they had a piece about how depressing it was to live in a hacker house, and I was like "wait. I lived in this exact apartment". I remembered the Pinterest guy who lived in the closet. That was slightly surreal.
