#Revenge of the cis full#

Other leaders, such as Poggle the Lesser and San Hill, gave money and droids to the Separatist cause. Nute Gunray, leader of the Trade Federation, gave thousands of battle droids to the Separatist army. Count Dooku and the Separatist leaders were getting ready for a war. The Galactic Republic feared that a war would begin. This movement, led by chancellor Palpatine, gained support and soon had support from thousands of solar systems. The Confederacy of Independent Systems was first shown in Attack of the Clones. Much like вЂњracial colorblindness,вЂќ the вЂњrevenge of the cisвЂќ ideal promotes the idea that we have already reached equality and ignores the fact that we still have so much work ahead.Attack of the Clones This is because progressives are not only fighting against the old systems of oppression but are forced to fight against new laws and ideals aiming to oppress those already being pushed to the bottom. Whether or not they are funny is up to the eye of the beholder, but the so-called вЂњheterophobia and misandryвЂќ they prove, does not exist.ДЄll of the above proves that not only are white cisgender straight Christian men still at the top of society, but they also arenвЂ™t coming down anytime soon. These jokes fall along the lines of вЂњI hate all menвЂќ and вЂњI hate straight people.вЂќ What some are claiming is if men were changed to women and straight people were changed to gay the jokes would be terms for вЂњcanceling.вЂќДЄlthough the validity of these jokes is something that many have different opinions on (a poll I conducted showed a 50/50 split when I asked if the jokes are OK or offensive) the point is these jokes arenвЂ™t rooted in systemic oppression. Most of the backup for claims that these are real issues come from jokes that have gained popularity amongst вЂњGen-Z-ers.вЂќ The basic human right of getting to control oneвЂ™s actions could be taken away from women, and many male politicians are making stripping away womenвЂ™s rights a top priority.ДЄnother level of вЂњevidenceвЂќ people are using to back up the вЂњrevenge of the cisвЂќ are claims that heterophobia and misandry are real issues that we must tackle, according to people I have polled on social media.

This means that right now, progressives are not only pushing for equality but are having to fight against those pushing for oppression.ДЇurthermore, people are trying to make it so women donвЂ™t even have full autonomy over their bodies. The GLAAD website has pages and pages of information on how the Trump administration continues to make efforts to roll back the rights of LGBTQ and transgender people. But, because we are not yet equal, it can be said the police system targets BIPOC. If equality was something that existed almost nobody would be killed by a militarized police system because militarized police are rooted in oppression and wouldnвЂ™t exist in an equal society. This isnвЂ™t some fabrication from the media made up in some attempt to вЂњmake it seem like Black Americans are oppressedвЂќ the statistics prove it.ДЄccording to a Harvard study, Black people are six times more likely to be killed by a police officer. Some of the men that are claiming the progressives вЂњagendaвЂќ aim to oppress them believe that we have already reached equality, and therefore efforts to uplift minority groups are unnecessary, according to many Instagram posts trolling feminism.ДЇirst of all, the conversation we are having right now all over the world has to do with that, in the United States, Black American people are disproportionately targeted by the police and justice system. The вЂњrevenge of the cisвЂќ isnвЂ™t necessary, equality is about the erasure of oppression not about switching what groups are oppressed. In their minds, the equality that we are moving toward is oppression because, when someone who has been on the top for their whole lives gets knocked down to the level where everyone else is that feels like oppression. In response to progressives pushing for equal rights, many white cisgender straight Christian men threaten that the вЂњrevenge of the cisвЂќ is coming, according to many social media trolls and Reddit users. They feel victimized because, as society moves closer to equality, they will no longer sit on the top of the hierarchy, which is very threatening to someone who, for their whole lives, have been treated like they are superior. White cisgender straight Christian men sit at the top of society, and so, when some of them see oppressed groups gaining basic human rights, it upsets them.
