Also cool, this follow-up:
good and fake.
Touch some grass man
This is fantastic art!
Agreed. So simple, but so effective.
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

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
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.
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.
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
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.

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.

This is art, build this around an actual rheostat and slap it against a wall
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.
Accurate
My dumb optimistic ass scrolling to the comments under this post thinking “maybe this time iT wOn’T bE sO bAd” lmao
That has the same energy as telling protestors to go home
Boomer ahh meme
This escalated way faster than I was ready for 😭
“Truth is somewhere in the middle”
Edit: /s
Yeah, needed the satire tag for this one, but too many actually feel that way :/
Well, exactly. Put it somewhere between those extremes. Dials like these are important for avoiding the hyper-polarization the world is afflicted with these days.

When you stake your basis for it on the idea that only CIS women are female.

Yeah. I often wonder how many people who attempt to hijack a movement actually believe their singular view of what it should be should be the universal, how much of it is just ignorant ego and an attempt to remain relevant (looking at you JK), and how often it’s a deliberate attempt to both discredit one cause while tearing down another.
The raging misandry that commonly accompanies it, for one.

Of course, but with some more equal than others, as my outspoken feminist boss demonstrated earlier this week. She insisted that feminist research into matriarchal societies had proven beyond a doubt that women govern better than men can, and that if we would just replace all men in power with women the US’s problems would practically solve themselves. This was one day after complaining to me about how unreliable her male coworkers were, and how you can really only rely on women when you want something taken care of.
Feminists truly are beacons of equality.

You could have listened to me, sympathized, and told me my misandrist experience is valid, but, then again, that’s a privilege reserved for women experiencing misogyny, isn’t it? Wouldn’t be very feminist of you to acknowledge just how widespread misandry is among feminists, eh?
deleted by creator
Oh no! Hating men for beating, raping, and exploiting us! How awful!
I knew someone from one of the misandry instances would chime in to prove my point, so thanks! ^_^
You haven’t really proven anything. You say misandry is the problem with being a raging feminist. All I said was hating people who oppress you is not a bad thing. Also one of the “misandry instances”? So are all queer or women oriented instances just misandrist to you?
They’re not “just” misandrist; that is to say, they definitely have good reasons for existing outside of misandry, and I’m glad that they can provide that space for the people who need it. It’s also certainly not inherently misandrist to be queer or woman oriented.
In the case of Lemmy, though, yes, all of the queer and women oriented instances are very clearly also misandrist. Openly and proudly so, in fact. Your comments here are an excellent, though comparatively mild, example of that.

So, just somewhat complicit in her own dehumanization?
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.
