  • Except there are a lot of people like the first half of the parent I replied to that have a “Israel reaped what they sowed on October 6” attitude. But somehow don’t have a similar “they have reaped what they sowed” attitude towards Gaza right now.

    Which isn’t quite right.

    No one wants to share their toys since 1917. Both sides have alternatingly done ugly things that are, to our modern sensibilities, probably war crimes and ethnic cleansing. Previously, it was just war.

    We did the same/worse things to Native Americans. Spain and Portugal did the same/worse things to the Aztecs and Incas. Britain did the same/worse things to almost everyone.

    I just don’t think either side is justified but pretending like Palestine is any more or less of a victim than Israel in this whole mess doesn’t really seem to ring true if you look at the whole history.

    The issue with this is it’s too simplistic.

    What it’s actually saying is “it’s easy to not be misogynistic as long as you’re significantly better than all the women”.

    It does not imply that you won’t be misogynistic as soon as you are threatened.

    Ie when status quo is maintained (patriarchy is intact for you) it’s easy to support women.

    That’s not quite right. Preexisting assets kept separately don’t just become marital assets. If you owned a home prior to the marriage and you then live there together, it almost certainly would be considered a marital property.

    But certainly every dollar you make or asset you acquire while married counts.
