meganox: glad they taught me early — Subium • Bluesky web client

What a fucked up lifetime of being betrayed and sold out by "the adults in the room"

And now I see that my lifelong extreme distrust and open loathing of authority figures was completely appropriate.

glad they taught me early

Yeah my distrust of authority was cemented as a teenager thanks to... Clarence Thomas

Based

Being a teenaged girl during the Thomas and Clinton years taught me a lot about what the expectations of me as a woman would be and I've fought it kicking and screaming ever since

But this is the fate that the "adults in the room" decided for me and all the rest of us I guess. I'm so fucking angry at everyone who told me everything was going to be fine

I'm also pretty angry at my seminar teachers, who told me my big brain would save the world someday, but neglected to tell me that no one would listen to all those great big brain thoughts unless I was a dude

I am now glad I was so often told as a child that I was stupid. I deserve it for trusting in all those “who know better”—my entire adulthood has been seeing everyone and everything I was taught to respect to be utter frauds and abusers.

But this is the way it works for all of us. I thought the same when I was 18 and voted against Reagan, but I was told all would be fine.......

And I'm saying we should put a fucking stop to it before it harms still more people, not make my peace with it because "this is the way it works for all of us"

Remember when Joe Biden helped Clarence get confirmed?

Same

THIS GODDAMMIT
