As a feminist, i wasn’t being dismissive of feminism. i was referring to the propaganda used to push apolitical disenfranchised straight white men further to the right by creating a “radical” boogie monster version of feminism that made it feel anti male and not about equality.

a similar thing happened with the whole “misogynistic bernie bro” smearing during the dem primary.

The aliens have been living here with us all along.

I have both rostered, should I start Kittle or La Porta for week 3?

Kittle has been letting me down, but la porta has been doing work on my bench. Im scared if i switch it up now, kittle will finally pop off.

Nobody is saying you are racist man, theres always going to be minority subsets of humanity with controversial opinions. Stop letting the algorithm rage bate you and make you think that everyone thinks you are a terrible person for being a white male. For every video you see like that, there are thousands of people from any race that don’t think like that. You need to just detox from the internet for a while. And i say that sincerely, it will help your mental health a lot. its helped me in the past too.

At face value everyone can be “proud” of their race i guess. I do think its kind of weird to be proud of something you didn’t earn or achieve. Its like a substitute way to feel pride when you haven’t personally accomplished anything.

I’m proud of the fact that I try my best to be a kind and sincere person, have worked hard towards a degree and career and personal relationships have been maintained. Im proud of the skills I have developed in my favorite hobbies… etc

A black woman saying she is proud to be black or a woman, in the context of the united states, is really a reaction to feeling lesser than white people or men. They are saying to the society they live in, that they won’t feel shame for being who they are. Especially when groups of white men who feel “pride” in their arbitrary race and sex they just happened to be born in use it to put others down instead of lift people up.

Its okay to be proud to be a white man, if you are a good person then theres nothing you should feel guilt over. But saying it as a reaction to a black woman saying she is proud just seems a little insecure.
