That has the same energy as telling protestors to go home
My dumb optimistic ass scrolling to the comments under this post thinking “maybe this time iT wOn’T bE sO bAd” lmao
This escalated way faster than I was ready for 😭
The thing is that if we challenge the machine, it gets noted immidiately as being aggressive. The reason for this is because language is normalizing machine thinking. What will push workers in line, what will cool the bloom of the masses, what will paint the mighty as delightful, what will alienate us from our peers and nature.
By taking guardianship for our languages, challenging our everyday words, we normalize the meaningful, normalize humanity.

Also cool, this follow-up:
good and fake.
Touch some grass man
This is fantastic art!
Agreed. So simple, but so effective.
Accurate
Those who can’t do…
Judge those who can?
I know the answer is supposed to be teach but…
The original phrase is pretty lame anyway. If you can’t do a thing, how can you be expected to teach it? I’d rather have a teacher that actually knows how to do the thing they’re trying to teach me.

The saying isn’t trying to convey that people who can’t do something are well suited to teach it, it’s disparaging teachers by saying if they were any good at what they teach they would be doing it instead of teaching it.
Oh, I get its point, I just think it’s a nonsensical phrase.
It’s a very American thing, where we don’t value teachers. It’s nonsensical in reality, but it’s the way America operates.
Probably better phrasing would be “Those who used to do, teach”. As in, teachers/coaches might be people who due to any number of circumstances can’t participate in doing the thing directly, but have experience in it.
The saying itself is a pithy dig at teachers, it’s meant to demean their skill at what they’re teaching.
It’s a witticism, not a measured statement of truth.
Doesn’t mean we can’t make it into one
I feel this deep in my soul.
Look up the first year they used an anatomically correct crash test dummy for a women to make cars safer. The world is bad for men too, in a heirchial system only those at the top “win”, for lack of a better word. Most men are just tagging along pretending to be on the winner team. Even though they failed to make the team in tryouts and are fans just be part of everything.
Oh I’m painfully aware that there still isn’t really a women’s crash test dummy (maybe last year they introduced one that was more anatomically correct?).
Yes, class warfare is deeply connected with gender warfare.
This is art, build this around an actual rheostat and slap it against a wall
Am I the only one who read that headline and thought “an art teacher told a student to dial down the feminism ? An art teacher ? Bullshit they did”
Nice art but the backstory is utterly fake
I knew a highschool art teacher who woulds give any female student more then 80% because “women already get everything they want.”
Your lack of real world experience is showing.
It can also be that the art teacher is perfectly fine with feminism but feels it is overpowering other themes. Dialling it down can be a valid criticism. You catch more flies with honey and all that.
The response with this artwork is excellent though. It’s a piece specifically about feminism, so no need to dial anything down. It makes a point and is beautiful to look at. I’m not a big fan of art that uses text to make a point but I think here it serves a useful purpose and it wouldn’t have the same effect without text.
You do know that some art teachers are pricks, right?
No obviously art teachers are a monolith that are completely predictable in every way, just like women!
That’s impossible. Nuance is obviously DEI bullshit.
Your be shocked what art teachers say, especially at the college level.
Did you even look at her art? She has it set to raging feminist. You gotta dial that down.
Just because you land a teaching job doesn’t mean you are self aware
“Truth is somewhere in the middle”
Edit: /s
Yeah, needed the satire tag for this one, but too many actually feel that way :/
Why even show it to this guy? You need to change his mind? Instead of the million people out there who arent total douches?
Well, she also posted it on social media for at least a million people to see?
Yeah but like drop that class. That guy has got nothing to teach. Also this art sucks. Probably AI generated. Why do I give a fuck. Blocking OP.
sybau
+ the art is from 2018, it cant be ai
You doing ok? Going through something, need to vent?
It certainly got a reaction out of you, so I think this art piece did its job here.
I dont think ai image gen was this good in 2018
Boomer ahh meme
Because nobody ever goes overboard with the feminism rhetoric…
You’re making a great point in favor of ramping up feminism. Like wow I didn’t realize it was that necessary to speak out for it here.
So go even more overboard? I actually 100% agree. The faster feminist rhetoric jumps the shark, the better. Go at it as far as possible y’all.
Considering this is how it showed up in my feed, no.
You let a social media post dictate your behavior. Good job.
And you let other people biases dictate yours.
Except not.
Clearly feminism hasn’t gone far enough.
Yeah I should probably be shot or something.
… You good buddy?
Not according to feminists, I’m basically Satan.
Hate to tell you this, but seems like less a gender issue and more a you issue.
