My most diagnosable take is that honestly. As much as people in social justicey spaces talk about exercising your empathy ... there's also value in being able to turn it off so you're not extremely susceptible to emotional manipulation. Sometimes you have to be able to recognize "oh, this is bullshit propaganda trying to tug at my heartstrings" and stop giving a fuck about like. Colonizer feelings or whatever. Vibes can't override your principles

Like idk being niceys is a good start but your politics can't begin and end with 🌈 kindness 🌈 or you're gonna get taken advantage of. The worst people on earth will be like "but what if........ I have a sob story about it 🥺" & you Need to be able to tell them to Fuck Completely Off

There's a certain strain of ... Everyone Is Valid 🌸 style pseudo leftism that ime invariably caters to whoever throws the biggest tantrum. And this is a Problem interpersonally & it's especially bad if you let these people dictate your opinions. Not everyone is valid some of you are racist

the fuck are you looking at? what’s down there

its so sad that san Francisco is currently a vibe desert..... once hailed as possibly the vibeyest place in America, this fertile ground is now almost entirely gone, and the average san franciscan has to drive upwards of 10 miles outside of the city to catch even one vibe

no one brave enough to reblog this i almost respect it

the boy mom thing and the bizarre cat sexism we’ve seen over the past couple of years both rely on the idea that female beings are cold and capricious and not as capable of love and sweetness as male beings are. which is crazy considering. well. everything.

The whole “male loneliness epidemic” thing is so crazy because feminists have been talking for decades about how gendered socialization has many negative consequences for the psychology and personalities of men (literally what the term “toxic masculinity” refers to) but now we’re letting the alt-right misconstrue this “epidemic” into something New so that they can blame feminists for it and make it about how Actually we need to Go Back to rigid heteronormative patriarchal gender norms in order to Save Men, even though that’s exactly what was making society miserable and lonely in the first place! It’s so screwed. Can we ever actually confront, address, and resolve societal issues like as a species or are we just doomed to misunderstand the assignment forever. Why do the dumbest most bad-faith operators in every debate get to hijack every last earnest attempt by smart and well-meaning people to improve human welfare. Why do we live on a planet of adult toddlers

The "male loneliness epidemic" also does not target men in a meaningful way when you look at the data -- we are in an all-gender loneliness epidemic. In several studies across age groups and demographics, women reported more/more frequent loneliness than men as well.

it’s frustrating when you’re talking about an inherently oppressive institution that dehumanizes everyone who is subjected to it and someone is like “it’s especially bad for those it is incorrectly applied to!” as though being the intended victim of an injustice makes it less of a tragedy

been thinking about this lately after some discussions about historical marriage where people have chimed in about how extra awful it would have been for trans men forced into The Wife Role because of dysphoria. which like. yeah. but the thing about The Wife Role in the context of not having civil rights and being the property of a husband is that it is inherently dysphoria-inducing to anyone who identifies as a human being instead of an object.
