*WOMENSSTUFF IS A TRANS+ INCLUSIVE WOMEN ONLY COMMUNITY
This guy is clearly an asshole. I work with great women and fucking shitty women. They’re individuals. Never have I looked at the DNB pulling six figures and producing literally nothing while delegating 95% of their shit and thought “all women” nor have I looked at the superstar who always delivers and thought “all women”.
People are an intersection of multiple spectra, and not a single person could ever define one of their subcategories.
That’s why I hate political correctness. Letting people express their nonsensical shitty opinions openly tells you a lot about them.
your regular gender war bullshit.
to distract from class war, of course.
Here’s more of the saga of their changing headline:
And a response by Pizza Cake comics lol:
That’s fucking brilliant! Best I’ve seen is not nearly as good…
Nah that’s brilliant too and I 100% support it.
Wanna start fucking shit up together? I’ll bring snacks
Yay I’ll pack the molotovs! A picnic by the fire light of the burning patriarchy sounds fantastic!
Sounds like a plan!
Can conservative feminism fix it?
Bahahahahahaha… AWESOME!
Anyone can write an op-ed. Those aren’t the same as articles written by NYT journalists. Putin had an op-ed published by them in 2013
Anyone can write one, sure, it doesn’t mean it’s going to automatically be published. Editors still exist.
Well this one is an interview hosted by Ross Douthat, one of the nyt opinion writers. I haven’t listened but I’m gonna guess the two people he’s interviewing are more to the right of him, based on the title. He’s quite annoying himself, though
he recently made a podcast whining about how how inappropriate it was for taylor swift to use curse words and make a song about a penis (because won’t someone think of his poor conservative children!) then claimed she was secretly antiwoke and tradwife material owning the libs 🙄 i don’t know why i listen to his drivel
New theory: the nyt is an op trying to discredit the concept of journalism.
The New York Times is a right wing tabloid rag unfit for wiping your ass. Excise it from your lives. You will be better off.
Hahahah someone found out the hard way that real life isn’t their incel reddit echo chamber and got in trouble
And i guarantee you they see themselves as a victim cos they were pulled up about it
So I’m the morbidly curious type and started to read this trash…
Let’s pick one flavor of wokeness, and that is the #MeToo movement.
You hear that language of personal choice, not only on the left with regard to abortion, but for conservatives in opposition to things like SNAP benefits for unmarried women: Well, you chose to have this baby while you were poor
Gross, cruel, regressive.
Ladies, is it woke to not get raped?
No no NO, it’s not walk at all. It’s oppressive to accuse men of sexual harassment… you must be getting confused.
Totally skipping over widows and unmarried women without children. It’s so wrong its not even worth picking apart.
Fuck these Zionist rape fetishists.
ESPECIALLY when there are a lot of places where it is explicitly not a choice anymore.
No but see it was her¹ choice to be raped and live somewhere where abortion isn’t legal.
If it was not her choice; she is a frigid bitch and probably a liar.
¹trans men and nb’s do not exist in this setting.
Women ruined my
boys’ clubworkplace, wahh. Why can’t they stick to the jobs we don’t respect and have a lower salary?Does anyone actually respect newspaper journalists in 2025?
I don’t respect people that don’t respect journalism. Like where do you get information from? You just “doing your own research on the internet?” Or just believing any attractive person the algorithms shove in front of you?
Yeah, believing the nyt, owned by the same assholes as the big slop algorithms, is so much better.
BOTH SIDES!!!
Did an internet influencer tell you to say this, or did you come up with it on your own?
Dunno. I was too busy looking at their tits to remember. Can I ask your pronouns before we continue?
Nope. I was already getting very cynical about journalists (specifically cynical about “free” in “free press”) when SARS-NCoV2 hit. The subsequent reportage convinced me that journalism was basically dead.
I do, but I’m a nerd about looking into biases/funding/fact checking/etc. There’s as much good stuff as shit and nothing should ever be taken as the god’s honest, but there are people who try real damn hard to get the facts and I respect them for it.
I made a whole com just to post from independent media sources I like.
You’re like a meta-reporter.
I think knowing where your news comes from should be part of reading the news.
It is probably the most important part of reading the news.
I promise I’m trying.
They’re not making it easy, are they?
Has the concept of women gone too far?
Yes, we must all (de)trans and man up by the end of the week
Average Liberal as soon as the economy starts getting worse
Haha remember no politics
I can’t think of a more NYT thing to publish. They’re practically a tabloid now.
I’m British so in my head they’re still classy. Where did it go wrong?
British? Interesting…
Ngl in my (previous, now) headcannon, you’re like a cyberhippie lady that lives on a farm with a bunch of butterfly lawn ornaments, host your own email server, and carry a shotgun with a big sun hat and a smile. Don’t ask me how my brain got there, I couldn’t tell you even if I tried.
That’s far more interesting than my life, so I’m going to say… yes, that is completely, totally accurate
They’re centrist to a fault and have a tendency to agree with the “official narrative” until it becomes unpopular. They’re so afraid of being seen as partisan any side can sway them by accusing them of being on the other side enough
imo a lot of their reporting is the best of the mainstream. lemmy users absolutely shit on the paper and they generally make valid points, but there’s a fair bit of “burn them at the stake” carry on. their op-eds tend to be “diverse”, meaning they have total pieces of shit spouting nonsense week by week.
This is an op-ed piece, and NYT op-eds have always been godawful. I don’t know why we care about it now, or why we’re only just now using it to criticize the NYTs journalism (which has more than enough to criticize all on it’s own) but that’s where this has come from.
Edit: Not entirely relevant to the first point, but I just went and gave it a listen and… The above piece is fucking embarassing. Really. That they’ve had to change the title three times would seem to indicate they agree. It’s the moderator (an absolute dickhead) and some conservative weirdo refusing to answer a very reasonable and simple question with just utter nonsense. Hopefully the justified backlash to this continues, and they eventually clue in and just take it down. Fucking joke.
You’re a hero listening to that I’d end up chucking my phone across the room. It’s funny NYT always seemed to have a good reputation shame it’s not deserved
Their journalistic reputation is quite deserved - despite many valid criticisms, they do still do incredibly good and important journalism. Their opinion pieces ride the coattails of that work to make them seem like they have any value. I honestly do not think I have ever seen a NYT opinion piece that’s not just absolute garbage.
The idea was to provide a counterpoint to the liberal ‘bias’ inherent to reporting all news - but that idea has long since stopped being reasonable, and it really needs to be just given up on.
When they were founded because the other big NY paper’s European correspondent¹ was not fascist enough.
They have been on the wrong side of history, like, every fucking time.
¹Karl something?
Change your thinking immediately. Every single major news outlet in the US is pushing a corporation’s agenda. I promise. Theyre all owned by billionaires.
Even publicly funded news in the US helped usher in our current state of fascism by softballing it constantly to Americas lowest common denominator.
There are exceptions which are not owned by billionaires, like the AP, NPR, and PBS.
Which one of them opposed a single military action by the US as it was occurring?
You don’t get a platform if you’re not the type to hear “America just invaded/bombed <country>” and the first thing to come to mind is “Were any American soldiers hurt”.
However segments and whole shows on those channels are also often influenced heavily from outside donors. Unfortunately they still take corporate sponsorship.
Democracy Now! is solid too
I used to like the wirecutter. I liked it a lot for the first several years… then it became a template for all KINDS of garbage advertising and bad recommendations. I bet it was when the nyt bought it.
