i think one of the worst things the left wing internet ever did was push the idea that oppression is basically a virtue, and being oppressed is a sign of your morality. it has made it like…impossible for some of you to hold the idea that most people are privileged in some ways and oppressed in others. AND a lot of you seem to have it in your mind that terrible people cannot be oppressed, and that oppressed people cannot do terrible things, which is a dangerous rhetoric to hold imo.

I drop my phone, it lands screen-down on the pavement. I pick it up and slip it into my pocket without inspecting for damage, not as though I "don't want to know" but nonchalantly, like it makes no difference to me. The few passersby who notice are silently astonished, they don't know whether to admire or scorn me, "who is this person," they think, "how is [she] not torn up with anxiety to see if the screen is cracked? Whence this inhuman equanimity?" (They don't think "she" of course.) Years later, in a coincidence they never discover, these passersby happen to meet and form a jazz quartet, and though they never mention it to each other nor even remember it in the ordinary sense of the word, the music they play is always on some level an attempt to grapple with the mystery of that enigmatic stranger who was so indifferent to the fate of [her] phone screen.

straight men enduring 24/7 sexual assault each other in order to not be labeled faggots is honestly the best example of how masculinity operates. the other day before work a coworker fr shoved a finger in another coworker's ass (above pants) as one of their little "ha ha you're gay" jokes. fuck is wrong with them. equal parts disgusted and fascinated by their behaviour.

of course these people are fucked up and unable to hold healthy relationships grounded in mutual respect! they're constantly assaulting and being assaulted by their friends just to Not Be Gay/Like A Girl!!!

the biggest reason men refuse to recognize a lot of what they do to women as sexual harassment/assault is bc of their misogyny and wanting to maintain our power over women, 100%. BUT can i just point out that maybe a smaller but not-insignificant reason might also be that they can't even recognize sexual assault when other men do it to them???? i didn't tell that coworker bc he's an asshole, but i have had to tell other guys at work "hey what they're doing to you is terrible and you shouldn't have to put up with it you know" which most of them hadn't ever been told before because """""roughhousing""""" is part of that "boys will be boys" thing that makes everyone ignore our abuse

"boys will be boys" okay well maybe boys should be shot

i think about this post at least once a week
