Yes, not something new.
I have an half Ukrainian friend which is banned from Ukraine since 2014 as he didn't go there to fight
The “#news” nowadays: the History and the causes of a complex, consequential conflict… in seven tweets

@tripu @olamundo I spent a couple weeks manually copying metadata off Flickr and removing photos (I had more than 20000) back when they restricted free accounts to 1000 photos. Now I logged in after a while and I almost gave up as it kept bugging me to upgrade my browser. Very sad to see what Flickr has become.
Lately I'm finding fewer and fewer reasons to renew my subscription to the #NYT …

> _“The heroism performed mainly by men (e.g. firemen) will be #gender neutralised ('firefighters') by the inclusion of a small minority of #women, whereas a much larger proportion of female perpetrators and male victims will be excluded from our highly gendered narratives and policies about sexual and domestic violence. Such cognitive distortions, we believe, are leading to a systematic exaggeration of the negative aspects of men and #masculinity within mainstream culture, and a minimisation of positive aspects. These embedded distortions could be having a significantly harmful impact on the psychological health of #boys and #men and therefore on our society as a whole.”_

Because of things like this and worse still happening in the heart of the most advanced continent in the world, and in spite of so much nonsense attached to the label, I still call myself a #feminist.

I'm glad I stumbled upon that tweet. It's the same point I made [last year](https://qoto.org/@tripu/105949819777567218), and also [three years ago (pointing to some science to back my claim)](https://mastodon.technology/@tripu/103035326975515688).
@Pat
I cant speak to the previous content you mention as i may have missed it. I seem to recall him saying he was reading mein kampf but that it was not an indication of him supporting the message.
As for the word being harmful in every situation i cant agree, the following woulda be an example where its not harmful: "Shaniqua was called a nigger by a racist today and this is uncalled for, we cant accept that language. I strongly condemn the use of that words towards blacks!". In this context i woukd say not only is not harmful but it is being used positively to condemn racism. As far as i could tell this is more or less the way tripu used it and also the way in which joe roagan used it.
I agree with your points, and i think its ashame pat didnt engage with you rather than jumping the gun. I havent seen the videos so incant comment on the full context, but i see no problem with the post of yours i read or your choice to read mein kampf. In fact id say anyone who cares about racism as a social issue should feel an obligation yo read mein kampf. Understanding the things and people we dislike is an important step in addressing those issues.
A Spanish fishing boat sunk in the Atlantic. It carried 24 men. Only three survived. Ten died, and eleven are missing (presumably dead too).
In this tragic incident, men are as overrepresented as is mathematically possible. The “gender gap” here would be literally infinite.
This is how the top five Spanish newspaper by circulation (thus with different political views and biases) reported initially the event :
[El Mundo](https://www.elmundo.es/espana/2022/02/15/620b966efc6c83c1648b45b3.html),
[ABC](https://www.abc.es/espana/galicia/abci-varios-muertos-hundirse-barco-gallego-aguas-terranova-202202151242_noticia.html),
[El País](https://elpais.com/espana/2022-02-15/varios-muertos-en-un-naufragio-de-un-pesquero-gallego-en-terranova.html),
[La Vanguardia](https://www.lavanguardia.com/sucesos/20220215/8058385/muertos-hundimiento-barco-gallego-terranova-canada.html),
[20 Minutos](https://www.20minutos.es/noticia/4957129/0/varios-muertos-al-hundirse-un-barco-gallego-con-24-tripulantes-frente-a-la-costa-de-terranova/).
How many times does the word **_“hombre(s)”_ (“man/men”)** appear in the bodies of all the articles, in total? **Zero**. Not a single mention anywhere.
How many times does the word **_“mujer(es)”_ (“woman/women”)** appear? **Three**. Once in _ABC_, twice in _20 Minutos_ (to refer to the wives of two of the fishermen).
How many times the non-gendered word **_“persona(s)”_ (“person(s)”)**? **Ten times**. Non-gendered **_“marinero(s)”_ (“sailor(s)”)**? **17 times**. Non-gendered **_“tripulante(s)”_ (“crew member(s)”)**? **28 times**.
Your homework: find comparable events, statistics, or areas of life where the imbalance is very large (or even just large) against women, and where media coverage uses only non-gendered words or in some other ways leaves out entirely all information about gender composition.

Pregunta sincera: si eres de los que llaman a #Vox «ultraderecha» o «derecha radical», pero no consideras que #UnidasPodemos sea «ultraizquierda» ni «izquierda radical», ¿qué criterio sigues para hacer esa distinción? ¿Qué más tendría que proponer #Podemos para que los considerases «ultras», o cuál es el aspecto concreto de Vox que en tu opinión los convierte en «ultras»?
