Don’t judge a group by individuals in it. Hating entire group simply because a of a few select members is NOT a wise way to go about life. If one person makes a mistake, they deserve the consequences, not the entire group. For example, not all Christians are homophobic. Sure, there are a lot of homophobic Christians, but they shouldn’t all be judged by their religion as a whole. Similar situation when it comes to racism. There are a LOT of racist Caucasian people, but not all of them are. Just like, though there are some African American criminals, the innocent don’t deserve to be incarcerated simply due to ignorance. However, certain groups cannot be looked at with this rule, such as Nazis or pedophiles. But, for the general public, the point still stands.
Misandrists who claim to be Feminists are not Feminists, and should not be associated with the movement. Please focus on the real Feminists when discussing Feminism.
Happy International Women’s Day!
As we come together to celebrate the achievements of women throughout history, it’s important to remember the ongoing struggles women across the world are facing.
Today, let’s keep a special focus on all of our sisters of color, queer sisters, trans sisters, Palestinian sisters, working class sisters, disabled sisters, and sisters struggling with reproductive Justice.
We must not forget where we come from, and we must remember who we are working to protect now. I hope you all have a wonderful day - and pass along some kind words to the wonderful women in your lives!
There’s nothing wrong with being poor, and these people deserve to live happily just as much as any rich person. Respect people based on their character, not their monetary status.
Just because someone is caucasian, heterosexual, cisgender, and not in need of money does not mean that they cannot be depressed. Depression is an mental illness; it doesn’t care about your position in life. Don’t disrespect depressed people.
The entire PrideFall operation is honestly all the explanation straight people should require as to why we need a Pride Month to begin with.
I have made you a chart. A very simple chart.
People say "You have to draw the line somewhere, and Biden has crossed it-" and my response is "Trump has crossed way more lines than Biden".
These categories are based off of actual policy enacted by both of these men while they were in office.
If the ONLY LINE YOU CARE ABOUT is line 12, you have an incredible amount of privilege, AND YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT PALESTINIANS. You obviously have nothing to fear from a Trump presidency, and you do not give a fuck if a ceasefire actually occurs. You are obviously fine if your queer, disabled, and marginalized loved ones are hurt. You clearly don't care about the status of American democracy, which Trump has openly stated he plans to destroy on day 1 he is in office.
If you find yourself in a situation where you aren’t happy, please, do anything in your power to get yourself out of it. Even if it makes others unhappy. When necessary, put your well-being first.
The moment Twitter has to label the tweets of a SITTING PRESIDENT as ‘misleading’ is the moment our country loses every ounce of dignity we may once have had.
Jokes about rape, racist jokes, sexist jokes, ‘did you just assume my gender’ jokes, jokes about nazi’s, jokes about suicide, jokes about ‘triggers’ are going to upset people. I’m sorry, but it’s true. And if you aren’t comfortable with those types of jokes, say something. If they’re a good person, they’ll stop. If not, leave ‘em. If someone doesn’t like the jokes you’re making, stop. Respect people, please.
