I created a digital zine outlining the different georgia governor candidates policy positions! #gapol#abortionrights#transrights https://t.co/5zQcwJFFEL
We used to have shows like Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives, Malcolm in the Middle….and now all we have is Cop Show 1, Cop Show 2, Supernatural Cop Show, Fire Cop Show, and Medical Cop Show
Yes exactly, and this is also how racialized gender minorities engage with feminism as well. Critique makes us stronger and ensures inclusion for “the least of us”
@iammarina_100@lullabystarlust I don’t think it’s a tangent, I think it’s the root of the problem that needs to be talked about more. I don’t want to police the language of women frustrated with gendered expectations so I won’t, but for me personally I think it makes more sense to point my finger at men
@lullabystarlust@iammarina_100 I don’t think it’s small, I think it’s an important distinction that can’t be revealed unless we have conversations like this tbh
@lullabystarlust@iammarina_100 This is true but saying I dislike children is not the same thing as saying I dislike the system. Children did not create this system that also subjugates them. Ciismen did. It’s misdirected anger, even though the anger is valid.
@iammarina_100 Yes I completely agree, the construction of the family is a detriment to us all. And I hear what you’re saying about the gendered expectations of child care, that makes sense even if I personally wouldn’t say that about children
@iammarina_100 I hear you and I believe that. I guess my concern is what purpose does it serve to defend your right to dislike an already marginalized group whose abuse is so normalized?
@lullabystarlust@iammarina_100@obaa_boni Taking your experiences with some and painting the group with that brush is the exact bigotry I’m talking about. You as an adult have societal power over children, that influences your negativity about them.
@Ezaezil_Grey Exactly. It can’t be implemented if the people who are trying to implement it are also actively oppressing other people and claiming that behaviour to be compatible with the ideology. People are critiquing these attempts and pointing to the reason why they were flawed.
@iammarina_100@obaa_boni Isn’t this what misogynists claim about “disliking” women? Most oppressed people are abused by those closest to them, who claim to love them. That doesn’t change the fact that “disliking” women is misogyny.
Children aren’t a monolith. They don’t all yell or cause chaos.
