Storify is shutting down in May and has informed users that we have to migrate our content elsewhere if we wish to save it. This is one of my old threads.
*looks askance at a viral tweet*
Maybe if a "straight woman" (!?????) is panicking over her husband's shitty childcare abilities, the answer is NOT to scold the woman?
Can we also STOP assuming that women married to men are straight? YOU. DO. NOT. KNOW. Trust me on this. There's this weird liberal word salad thing going on these days where "straight" is being flung around like a cheap insult. STOP.
"Straight people don't understand LBGT letters haha!" Dude, you know there are straight trans people, right? Sit doooown.
*holds your face closely* "Straight" is not some magical fairyland free of marginalization because INTERSECTIONAL OPPRESSIONS EXIST.
*beckons you closer with my finger* You cannot tell if someone is cishet by looking. Stop throwing that label around when you DO NOT KNOW.
There's pointing out labels because it's germane to the subject and there's pointing out labels because you want a winning Pokemon card.
"Haha, I threw Straight Married Women onto the table! That gives me a +2 to all rhetorical attacks." Dude, sit your ass back down.
Social Justice is not Magic: The Gathering and the fact some folks can't grasp that is frankly terrifying to me.
*rides off into the night*
