If you want to give him that kind of power in your life then that’s on you.

Soundslike the system is working.

~~Who with any legitimate knowledge and interest in social justice in 2017, by the way, says “transgenders?”~~

Why is it assumed as default that someone is expected to have an interest in social justice? I think very few people are.

I’m tired of all writers being men but I hate this attitude of ‘only women can write about women’ and separating things into female stories and male stories and basically ‘stay in your lane’ as a solution to discrimination and lack of diversity.

I love how using the term female is sexist, but using male is fine

Yeah, someone deserves to die or lose everything because of how they voted.

Yup, you’re a terrible fucking person. Natural disasters don’t target climate change deniers, asshole.

Can we stop with the constant stream of “the world is awful” articles? They’re not even about anything in particular, just about how much the author think the world is shit.
