i sincerely believe that the culture shift when we stopped talking about misogyny and started talking about ~*°•patriarchy•°*~ devoid of concepts like oppressor class and oppressed class was a huge backpedal and opened the door to outright dismissal of feminism as a concept, this time from the left
HOLY SHIT SO MUCH OF THIS WOULD BE AVOIDABLE IF PEOPLE WERE JUST WILLING TO DECONSTRUCT THEIR INTERNALIZATION OF ABUSE/RAPE CULTURE NORMS & LEARN TO RECOGNIZE ABUSE APOLOGIA & DARVO, WHICH IS NOT AT ALL DIFFICULT TO RECOGNIZE
Yeah it's really cool for you to throw all the trans women on bsky who used to be your friends under the bus because you misunderstood an argument and threw a weeks long temper tantrum over it. Your comment about aids is worse than anything Bree or salty or Cassie ever fucking said
SHE GOT HER TURN IN THE KITCHEN. WE GOT "WHY SHOULD WE LISTEN TO GAY MEN IN THE 70S? THEY WERE TOO BUSY DYING OF AIDS"
I JUST WANT A NICE TASTY MEAL BUT I KEEP GETTING SERVED A SHITSHOW
i think some people when embracing intersectionality, instead of using it as a tool to understand how their view could be warped by biases, take the intellectual shortcut of believing that someone who appears to sit at the center of multiple axes of oppression means they are defacto good & correct

How are we going to pretend there’s a ‘Queer Community’ when there’s a sitewide uproar over a user being insufficiently deferential to aspec identities and ‘being V-coded is pretty privilege’ just doesn’t even register to most people? It’s a tiered system and we’re at the bottom.
