I like calling everyone Carl, lol.
IDK, to me it's not that much different than trying to keep someone's religious denomination straight. I really just don't care what particular branch of stupid you're into.
But hey, that's me, a cys white male living their life oblivious to your personal struggle. Fuck me, am I right? If you want to have a conversation about toppling capitalism, you might get my attention.
I'm also a cis white dude, but I've grown past the stage of saying "woah is me I'm standing in a place of privilege". That attitude does nothing for anyone.
Allow yourself to be called out, because that's how you get called in. If you want change, you have to be willing to be uncomfortable, because that's what growing feels like. That discomfort is part of you having empathy for others, but it will go away as you learn to love and respect those who are not like you.
I get it, it's easy to want to focus on how patriarchal systems have put us in a strange position of being both an aggressor and a victim, and it's easier to face being a victim than considering how we've been complicit in this system. We do need to talk about men's new role in an egalitarian society, and how we can best support men going forward, but being apathetic towards the dignity of others is not how you topple capitalism.
exactly. you do that with guns. toughen up, cupcake.
man it sounds like you became a communist when you realized you could guillotine people.
i'm more than willing to employ the guillotine as a tool for change. are you?
Naw man you're bloodthirsty
if you'd been fighting a useless war of words as long as i have, you would be too. it's okay junior. you'll realize your mistakes one day.
I'm starting to think the reason you've been called a Nazi isn't because you've misgendered someone.
