A needle dragging thread.

the funniest thing about this is it's disingenuous to both JKR and L. Ron Hubbard. Is Hubbard's harm just a punchline when his cult is active, powerful, and actively disappearing people? like idk man I think some of you need to not only touch grass but read books and watch documentaries and other such things

I literally feel like a teacher writing a huge ❓ on a student's paper everytime I go to protests lately. Why are we gathered at a prolife contra protest and you have a sign with "LGBT education in schools" written on it. Why are you shouting an environmentalist slogan. This is a pro choice protest. Why are you fragmenting the group with unrelated topics? Are you a fed? Why does every protest lately have to be a buy one get one free type of event? Why is it that when our reproductive rights are threatened we feel the need to also bring up barely related topics and take away the focus from the problem at hand?

i want to shake many young women and say you can grow in private. and what i mean by that is that you don’t have to publicly self-flagellate when you don’t know something or when you say something a little insensitive or whatever else. you don’t have to report your Bad Thoughts and Ignorance to the crowd who waits to judge you. you do not have to pay penance. you do not have to issue public statements. nothing more is gained from burying yourself in shame than you could gain by thinking “oh i don’t know about this” and looking it up real quick, or thinking “hm, that wasn’t how i want to behave, i’ll do different next time” and then moving on with your life. no need to choke yourself with it.

the phrase really should be "eat your cake and have it too" im with the unabomber on this one

every time they try to cook up controversy on some big-name woman, some percentage of you fall for it. get good and say "I don't care" more. for feminism.

Actually I fully admit I’m not in touch with what the average woman or average man does or does not have an interest in (because I’m a weirdo myself and I live in a bubble with other weirdos) but I don’t believe that history, even ancient history, is the domain of men.
