#Marginalization
trans men are not more vulnerable to domestic violence because of some innate womanness or anything but probably because we are an extremely vulnerable minority whose marginalization makes us an easy target

We do this thing as trans women where our respawnse to suffering the marginalization and dysphoria associated with living as a tranny is some.feminine grindset "you just need to try harder sweetie" and I cannot.emphasize enough how unhelpful that is despite being A Woman Thing To Do

Based on over 17 years of research, including 2 years of ethnographic fieldwork in Malaysia, Lives in Limbo follows Chin and Rohingya refugees as they navigate urban spaces, build communities, and forge belonging despite legal marginalization and social discrimination.

The NOMAS Model opposes the widespread assumption that men’s violence against women is rooted in men’s trauma, experience of systemic marginalization, lack of anger/behavior management skills, or early childhood experiences"

Mental illness is 100% a marginalization!

Morally and socially bankrupt since the nation's founding from usurping indigenous lands, slavery, corruption, marginalization of minorities+disabled, etc. That moral bankruptcy was built into the social and societal framework of everyday life. And many of us have been asleep to how bankrupt we...

- not have a sad backstory’ is already a moot point and also… not a superhot mindset around privileged villains

I get wanting to have a villain that addresses the toxicity of privilege, but we can have that while still acknowledging that abuse and marginalization still fucks people up -

- already been told he does. Viv even brought this up herself, if you overlooked it in the show. Vox was a queer man living in a deeply homophobic time-period, and it‘s very much a reason why he reacted so badly to Alastor’s rejection. It’s a toxic combination of *both* privilege and marginalization

(8/8) Contemporary exhibitions, literature, and scholarship actively deconstruct monolithic "model minority" or immigrant narratives by highlighting the shared marginalization, resistance, and transpacific solidarity binding both diasporas.

They can’t seem to stop at one permissible marginalization, though. (See the new ActBlue-vetted slogan: “boys don’t belong in girls sports”)

This is no different from the right wing historians in New Zealand who defend the dispossession and marginalization of the Maori by defining all conquest, state formation, assimilation, and migration through history as settler colonialism, which is absurd.
And tell me then, which magical state construct do you know of, which was not created and preserved trough conquest and force of arms ? As for democracy, Spain looks healthier than glorious Morocco, whose revisionnist claims you excuse. Any opinions on Morocco' right of conquest in Western Sahara ?

I survived CSA, rape, assault, an abusive conservative upbringing, and years of isolation, violence, abuse and marginalization as an adult. I never let it make me cruel. I never gave up. And despite my frequent anger and cynicism I have never been one to drag others down or spread negativoty

It’s a pattern that exists across all axises of marginalization and can be recognized, it’s just very fraught to call out if you aren’t of the demographic in question OR it’s very clear/egregious (eg “You are doing this cause I am X” when there is literally nothing at hand to know that).

"you're only criticizing them so strongly because of [axis of marginalization]"

have you *seen* the shit I've said about jesse singal
I'm honestly mostly ambivalent about whether marginalized op-ed writers are class traitors or whatever. I am less ambivalent about the fact that I hate their fucking guts regardless

I just saw someone who was, I THINK, using a passage from my book on the FGC from a zillion years ago to talk about how a focus on "only skill matters" can obfuscate problems with marginalization

but the way they phrased it makes it sound like *I* think only skill matters

This cycle of violence cannot end, because maintaining authoritarianism—in a church or a society—requires constant othering, oppression, marginalization, and suppression.

Cuz punishment doesn’t work.

If it did, being the most incarcerated country in the world would already have made us the safest.
I write regularly about training and punishment.

Punishment doesn’t work. Ever. Even if it stops a behavior for a period of time, it creates new, unpredictable behavior. There’s not a brain on this planet that won’t try to avoid the punishment, rather than avoiding the behavior.

Reminds me of the person who tried to convince me he was deeply marginalized as a Catholic, and another who wanted sympathy for his marginalization as a self-published writer.

It’s manipulative narcissism draped in a cloak of “marginalization” and I’ve seen it a thousand times, I don’t some asshole news article to revolutionize my understanding of online group dynamics. Hyperbole tickles the algorithm and infects the brains of otherwise good-intentioned idealists

Warning by AI experts of an intelligence R&D explosion.

“Human society is not really positioned for such fast changes and disruptions.”

“At the extreme, losing control of AI systems could lead to “the marginalization or extinction of humanity.””

Spatial zoning of rural marginalization under environmental stress using geographic ...
The persistence of regional development inequalities has highlighted the necessity of using dynamic models that encompass the multidimensional nature of rural isolation. Traditional spatial planning frameworks often overlook the synergistic impacts of service deprivation and geological hazards on the phenomenon of marginalization. The present study formulates an integrated methodological framework for the spatial zoning of socio-spatial marginalization in Kabudarahang County, Iran; a semi-arid region dealing with severe depletion of groundwater resources and structural land deformation. Utilizing the Fuzzy Delphi Method, 13 key socio-spatial and environmental indicators were validated and weighted by a panel of experts. These parameters were subsequently integrated using multi-criteria spatial analyses and weighted overlay techniques in a Geographic Information System environment. Moreover, to provide a dynamic explanation of the cause-and-effect relationships and analyze the feedback structure governing rural isolation, the System Dynamics approach was employed using Vensim software alongside the spatial models. The empirical findings of this research indicate a profound state of spatial injustice. Spatial mapping identified a “northern isolation zone” characterized by acute “service poverty” and excessively long distances to health and educational centers; this sits alongside a “geological hazard zone” where catastrophic land subsidence (with rates exceeding 14 cm per year) and active sinkholes...

Over & over protesting that wanting equal civil rights are bad, including the rights activism that allowed them to have jobs saying the activism is now bad, that pointing out & objecting to discrimination is bad, that decreasing marginalization is too hard & makes them feel bad, etc.
