I started visiting this writer's blog a while back, and for the most part it's cool. He posts a lot about misogyny and white privilege and it's always interesting and insightful to read. But I'm just beginning to wonder now ... during what point, while standing up for minorities (not just racial minorities) and womens' rights/feminism, do we begin just being shitty to each other and segregating ourselves?
Does anyone get what I mean by that? I don't know how to describe it.
It seems to me like there's a campaign underway right now where the goal is to be cool to everyone except white men who say uncool things, in which case we should be shitty back.
I feel like the campaign should just be for everyone to calm down and not say shitty things about any other person that is a human being ever.
I agree, we have SO MANY problems still with race/gender issues, but I feel like in an attempt to right those problems we're creating new wars. So many people just want to see multi-faceted equality for all, and that's awesome, but I feel like so many people are going about it so angrily that it's just spurring new hatreds for different groups.
