Einstein once wondered:
“How is it possible that mathematics, a product of human
thought that is independent of experience, fits so excellently the objects of physical reality?”
Okay so here's what I'm talking about. I recently went out with a male friend for the first time. This was not within any kind of "dating" context. Just friends.
He got a beer and had no bottle opener. He asked if I had a bottle opener. I had a lighter so I opened his beer with my lighter.
On the surface, whoever has the means to open the beer should open the beer. But as a woman, even outside the context of dating, I read that as a weakness in him. It turned me off to viewing him as any type of potential mate. Even when that wasn't a potential in the first place.
I was talking to him about this this morning, asking his permission to tell the story and he said "well now anytime we hang out I'm going to ask you to open my beer just to fuck with you."
And this immediately reversed my reaction because purposely fucking with me in this lighthearted way is a show of confidence and dominance.
Women are always reading your signals to assess your potential mate value. Even the women you're not dating. Even the women you're just passing on the street.
acknowledging intersectionality isnt infighting and if you think raising awareness for trans bipoc at a trans rally is tone deaf i would argue its the exact opposite. white privilege still exists whether you are cis or trans, and seemingly white fragility does too.
