I am a straight, white, cis, male, or in other words a bug of a person. Please tell me how I oppress my sister, my mother, my best friend, my teacher, my aunt, etc, personally.. Please tell me. I dare you
Do you want me to start with the implied threat in your statement, the way you appear to have created an anonymous blog for the sole purpose of insulting and criticizing blogs that argue for equality, the way you asked a total stranger to provide you with specific personal examples because you want to shut me down rather than engage in an actual dialogue, or the fact that you already consider yourself to be a blight on humanity without my assistance based on your username?
Yes, I do, please start with how threatening my statement is. Secondly, I haven’t created this for the sole purpose of spreading negativity, I’ve made this as a satire blog making fun of people and groups of people that I find ridiculous (furries, feminists, SJW’s, etc). My friends and I (my other friends have similar tumblr’s to mine) where we laugh at what we can find on Tumblr. I asked a total stranger about specific examples of me oppressing people because you make the claim that ALL men oppress women, so i just assumed you knew ALL men and the ways they oppress women, so I decided to ask you, and not shockingly you didn’t know. Lastly, my user name is just to poke fun at Leafy Is Here, a popular you tuber who calls things he doesn’t like The “Cancer’ of the internet.
Woof, here we go.
Please start with how threatening my statement is.
Dare, verb, to challenge someone to take part in an activity that is risky or dangerous. Implied because you didn’t say what you’d do if I didn’t rise to your challenge, you left it up to the imagination.
I haven’t created this for the sole purpose of spreading negativity, I’ve made this as a satire blog making fun of people
What is making fun of people if not spreading negativity? Making fun or bullying is legitimately the act of being negative toward people or attempting to bring them down. If the only way you know how to have fun is at the expense of others, I suggest getting help. I’m not even touching your tenuous at best idea of what satire means.
because you make the claim that ALL men oppress women
Whether or not it’s active, whether or not you like it or it makes you uncomfortable, we live in a society that is structured for cis white men to have it easier than people of color, and cis white women to have it easier than women of color. Do I think all men are actively being awful all the time? Of course not. But I also don’t think they’re actively trying to be good. Oppression isn’t something that you personally caused, since it’s been in place long before you were born, but it is something that you can actively do something about. You can learn about gender/race/etc issues, you can support causes that fight for these issues, or you can do small things like try to not use actively offensive terms, or just listen when someone different from you talks about their experience instead of talking over them or making fun of them.
I don’t really have hope that you will take these words to heart, since that’s rarely how arguments on the internet work. But there’s always the chance that someone else coming across this might, and that’s worth it.
Tfw you use a Scully GIF but as the more rational of the pair she wouldn’t follow your bullshit corruption of feminism.
