JD 👇 [URL redacted]
Context the meme was shared to "JD", which criticised someone who was frustrated about #NMUKBBCBreakfast inviting #IRLAuthorJoanneHarris [Wikipedia] onto the programme - because she seemingly, mentioned #PhenomnThePatriarchy and failed to contextualise this in relation to #OtheringHateMisandry (perhaps, following some sort of #ReasoningFallacyZeroSumThinking logic). The comment contended that such criticism was in fact "fake feminism narratives" #CauseFeminism
"'It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt'"

#IRLLawyerBarristerCharlotteProudman [Wikipedia]
Addendum For some, Proudman is seemingly a contentious figure - see the following from #2015_ #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianCarolineDavies "When junior barrister Charlotte Proudman tweeted a screenshot of her LinkedIn exchange with a senior City solicitor, rebuking him for complimenting her on her profile photograph, the backlash was phenomenal. Proudman, 27, had not expected the furore. 'Never, not in a million years', she says. But her actions detonated an explosive and deeply divisive sexism debate and she found herself engulfed. Three months later, she has no regrets, despite finding herself condemned as a 'feminazi' and subjected, she says, to death and rape threats on social media. She said the fallout won't stop her working at the Bar, though she has yet to see if it will affect her career as a barrister. 'Yes, I have had to pay a personal price', she agrees, but she believes it is a price worth paying to highlight the issue of gender equality at work." https://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/dec/29/charlotte-proudman-feminazi-barrister-linkedin-sexism-row #BrandTechSocialMediaLinkedIn

In the lead, actress Aïssa Maïga denounced the institutional racism of cinema. When they gave the best director award to an absent Roman Polanski (the rapist is never there; the rapist has no body), another actress, Adèle Haenel, got up, turned her back on the patriarchs of cinema, and left, along with filmmaker Céline Sciamma.

Context "Believing Is Seeing: The 'Lens' Metaphor in Critical Theory": https://academic.oup.com/litimag/article/21/3/289/5539500
Supplementary "Conflict theorists view social structure as inherently unequal, based on power differentials related to issues like class, gender, race, and age. For a conflict theorist, culture is seen as reinforcing issues of 'privilege' for certain groups based upon race, sex, class, and so on. Women strive for equality in a male-dominated society. Senior citizens struggle to protect their rights, their health care, and their independence from a younger generation of lawmakers. ... Conflict theorists believe that a society's system of material production has an effect on the rest of culture. People who have less power also have less ability to adapt to cultural change. This view contrasts with the perspective of functionalism. In the U.S. culture of capitalism, to illustrate, we continue to strive toward the promise of the American dream, which perpetuates the belief that the wealthy deserve their privileges." https://courses.lumenlearning.com/sociology/chapter/theoretical-perspectives-on-culture/ i.e. #PhenomnProsperityWealthInequality #TheorySociologyConflictTheory #TheoryIndividualismCompetitive #_Focal

"The battle over Kavanaugh's nomination has been described by the media as a 'turning point' in America's history of female witnessing (TIME), as a 'tale of two internets' (Wired) and as a 'duel with tears and fury' (NYT). Each of these headlines highlights a significant aspect of what the court battle revealed about American culture: the triumph of women's voices in the age of MeToo, anxieties around echo chambers that divide political communication in two insulated spheres and the hyperemotional nature of politics in the era of Trump. None, however, captures the deepest, and perhaps most insidious, character of this event as a battle over who is a victim. Christine Blasey Ford's claim to victimhood was anchored on her right to speak out as a survivor who shared her suffering in the name of public interest; Brett Kavanaugh spoke out in order to defend his 'good name': he had suffered an unexpected attack, at a moment when his illustrious 30-year legal career was reaching its pinnacle. The Blasey Ford-Kavanaugh stand-off is, I argue, an exemplary illustration of a broader cultural condition where conflict over each party's claim to suffering, assault for her and humiliation for him, conjures up a different narrative of vulnerability and so mobilizes a distinct dynamics of solidarity - in this case, women's voices versus cultural conservatives" (Chouliaraki, Lilie, 2020, p.11) [academic source] #TheoryVictimhoodHijacked #CharacterisationWeaknessVulnerable
