idk i don’t think i need to relive The Worst Thing That Ever Happened To Me every few years on a public forum just to try to convince some dweeb that women are human beings
Nail on the head. We’re making rapists into these bogey men like NO, it’s many, many, MANY men we share space with. Everyone has a questionable story but no man is a rapist somehow. It doesn’t add up!
more on this, do you think the cornell 7 have never liked feminist posts on IG? that they’ve never thought/said “if it was my sister i’d kill him”, never acted like a good guy on dates/academic discussions? that they’ve never had friendships w women? they do all that & still rape
whenever I try to be friendly again with people I thought I had fwb style relationships with and they do not reciprocate it’s like ohhhhh right I forgot you didn’t see me as a person outside of what I could do for you sexually
love iris murdoch’s idea of ‘unselfing’ in the sovereignty of good; where love is the discipline of dissolving the ego’s self-centered gaze so you can actually see another person instead of using them as a mirror and expecting yourself to be reflected back to you.
