[politics] [feminism] if I see another post about how we have to be nice to men lest they fall down the alt-right pipeline, I am going to scream.

Mad Larkin
it's been less than a week since we elected a rapist to be president

Mad Larkin
again

Mad Larkin
women have reasons to be angry

Incredible how it's always our fault

Mad Larkin
always

Mad Larkin
and they try to rephrase it over and over but they don't realize it's just another attack at women for not being accepting and nice

I mean, probably shouldn't go the 'actively drive them to suicide' route in contrast, but that's still where my mind goes (and has long before this election, tbh. I am. Very much a being of extremes)

Rogal Dorn
as a dude, nah, shayna, gaslight them complete, fuckers just decided that fascism was okay

Rogal Dorn
but maybe that's my own anger, guys let everyone down, I'm also seeing posts about 4b and like "yes do that too"

ShaynaIsHere
I mean, usually I get kicked out of places whenever I speak Legitimate Anger, but maybe I should just treat those people like shit too, y'know? /testing waters

Mad Larkin
it's certainly tempting

Mad Larkin
especially when the tumblr post that was the straw that broke the camel's back in this was a whole tirade about how we need to be nice to men to prevent them from being radicalized, then ended with "change your heart or die"

Mad Larkin
which felt.... almost sickly ironic, i guess

Un(t)sundered
I feel like... preventing man from being radicalized is good? but also like. once they have? nah, fuck that. they've made their choice

Mad Larkin
trying to stop men you know from being radicalized is good, yeah

Mad Larkin
but once they're there, yeah, not trying to pull them out of it unless I really really liked them before, and even then I'd probably walk away

Un(t)sundered
yeah, exactly

Un(t)sundered
or once you realize they're there, if that's how a situation goes

Mad Larkin
yeah

Un(t)sundered
it is not my job - and indeed should not be - to be nice to someone who sees me as less of a person at best

Un(t)sundered
to people who are just kind of people who are dudes, to the best of my knowledge? sure. but once that line is crossed? nope

Mad Larkin
exactly!
