  • That comparison in this context is honestly a bad look.

    You’re comparing men, who have historically been the oppressors in pretty much every oppression scenario, to the groups of people they have historically oppressed. (POC, women, any marginalized group really.) That is a very important distinction because the power dynamics are reversed.

    People wanting a single safe space away from a group of people who have victimized them in the past (and more often than not continue to victimize them) is not the same as a group of people who hold most of the power excluding a less powerful group from everyday activities because they deem them inferior.

    And it’s not exactly a slippery slope towards the oppression of men either, just look at the current state of the world and try to figure out which way that slope is slipping. Women are fucking tired, man.









  • Genuinely the first thing I thought when he was elected. They’re going to hand this deranged lunatic the codes and he will find any reason to use them just to prove how powerful he is.

    And I’ve also been told I was overreacting at every turn, until he did exactly what I said he would do. And then they said I was overreacting about the next thing he ended up doing. “Of course he’s going to give up the presidency if he loses the election, he’s not going to try anything weird or illegal, don’t be ridiculous!”

    Yeah, it’s been a very long, exhausting decade.
