This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Why doesn't "what if the roles were reversed" ever work? I mean it works for me. I actually am convinced when people bring up that argument. But it never works when conservatives say it to progressives.
Why I'm bringing this up is that recently Abdul El-Sayed's wife appeared on stage wearing something not dissimilar to an outfit from "Handmaid's Tale".

What if the roles were reversed? What if Mike Pence or Mitt Romney or J.D. Vance of Pete Hegseth showed up like this?
I have a hard time explaining why this line of reasoning just does not land at all with progressives. To me it seems like a slam dunk. What am I missing? And is there a conservative equivalent to this, i.e. a meta role reversal where conservatives are the one being hypocrites?
In a way this actually reflects well on him because it shows he lives his liberal principles. His wife is more conservative but he is fine letting other people live their lives as they see fit. He’s actually living the diversity is our strength motto in his own life. He’s also obviously not an Islamist. I think he’s more motivated by race than religion and that’s where his anti white resentment comes from. I also wouldn’t be surprised if he is more of a cultural Muslim than an observant one. It’s almost a trap for conservatives to look silly and bigoted to a lot of Americans.
Would he be okay with her showing up dressed like a Kardashian? I think it's most likely that he subscribes to the belief which many Muslims share that it's okay for non-Islamic women to be sluts and treated that way, but never for Islamic women.
I don’t disagree. I am an agnostic and despise Islam. I was just trying to steel man the belief of a naive progressive. I doubt he’d be okay with his daughter or sister dressing like a typical westerner. I actually kind of agree with him there though because it’s actually pretty crazy how a lot of young women dress now. But yeah, in my opinion, many Muslims have clearly demonstrated they see non Muslim women as sluts and essentially sub human. They also treat their own women like shit too, but in a completely different way. Not sure which one is worse.
True. I think it might be worth an effort post sometime. As someone with a very healthy libido, it's actually annoying how slutty women dress now. I'm trying to go about my day, and it's just thrust in my face constantly.
It would be as if everywhere I go there is whiskey and donuts. What's the problem, bro, don't you like whiskey and donuts? Yeah, exactly, that's the problem.
99% of the time, I'd prefer if women dressed modestly.
Hoeflation-driven thot fatigue. The female supply of female sexual objectification and male gaze opportunities exceed the male demand.

It is craziest at the gym. I was warming up on the elliptical because I was sore from soccer and this beautiful young woman probably barely out of high school goes right in front of me and starts running in a tiny outfit. I could see her ass cheeks because her shorts were so short. She was literally right in front of me so if I looked forward it would appear like I was staring. She also works there at the front desk too. I was like come on what am I supposed to do here? Ended up just watching a movie on my phone so I wouldn't look like a creep. I also used to go to a gym that had a ton of famous influencers -- people that have millions of followers and are well known in that world. The women there dressed insane and were always recording themselves. I was like damn I'm going to end up on some woman's stream as a creep just for looking for a split second. It is kind of irritating.
Can they just not do the leggings? I'm trying to balance my bodyweight of heavy things here and now I've got to split my focus with my vision because of the thotspam.
