@liquidprince: stop listening to shitty white dudes who make you feel good, actually listen to the people who have gone to great lengths to try to explain it and read a even single fucking word about modern feminism from an actual modern day feminist.
Habitual lurker here, but had to create an account just to say - this is maybe the best sentence I've read so far this year.
Amen. Jordan Peterson and this whole wave of "intellectual dark web", pseudo-intellectual, evolutionary biology folks have such a fundamentally fucked up view of the world, and their ability to dig their hooks into large numbers of insecure white men is nothing short of terrifying.
@liquidprince Also "all lives matter"? Duder, sincerely, be better than that. Everyone absolutely deserves decency and respect, but to pretend that women and POC don't face unique challenges that require special attention is ignorant at best. This might be the type of situation where reading more writing from different identities would help.
But also, it's important to note that no one is perfect, and just because you might not understand all of this just yet, it doesn't make you a bad person. Everyone has the capacity to learn and change and become more empathetic to people of different backgrounds, it just takes a willingness to really listen.
