Lmao I have 2.
Mother Teresa and Mahatma Gandhi.
Mother Teresa let dying patients be treated with blunt reused needles, had a mortality rate about 40% in her clinics and when she was confronted about the conditions, said there’s something beautiful in seeing the poor accept their lot, and to suffer it like Christ’s Passion. Doctors called her facilities “homes for the dying”. And cancer patients were given aspirin for pain.
Gandhi too, the face of universal peace, the person that said “be the change you wish to see”, spent years in South Africa describing Black Africans as “savage”, “dirty” and living like animals. He campaigned actively to prove to British rulers that Indians were superior to native Black Africans. He also organized a brigade to help suppress a Zulu uprising. His defenders say he evolved. Maybe.
Nobody likes to talk about the entire sides of history.
And these are their summarized versions btw.
En 2009 quand il parlait de ça pour les autres artistes congolais ça devait le voir en fou mais au final c’est lui même qui l’a réalisé mdrrr la vision de ce type est dingue c’est une bénédiction pour la musique congolaise 🙏🏾❤️❤️
shaming women for loving men (who wear masks to disguise their poor character) instead of shaming men for having poor character is also internalized misogyny, btw.
hope this helps!
I don't internalize men's actions and I don't think any woman should. They are often at war with themselves, it most likely has nothing to do with you, so just make sure you stay far away from it all when you catch a whiff of it.
A lot of women internalize men’s treatment to be about them. The “he would if he liked you”…yes but within his limits. A lot of these men are just unintelligent, unromantic, broke, inconsiderate, unimaginative and emotionally dysregulated. It’s their lack of capacity.
@d_artox Empathy that requires a personal connection to activate is not empathy. It is selective compassion. And selective compassion has been the most politely dressed form of dehumanization in human history. 🚶🏾
