    Oppressors don't get to tell the oppressed how to feel anymore. This makes some people very unhappy.

    She can speak for herself. I don't mind it when she's snarky here to white straight men. I'm amazed she'll talk to us at all after what we've put her through. My advice is bear that in mind and try not to be so fragile. Our solace is we've run the f-cking world according to our whims for 500 years.

    Hovey, I know you're saying #notallmen, but enough of them. It's generally cishets who get my pronouns wrong ON PURPOSE. It's cishets who slide into my direct messages on social media, trying to have sex with me. It's cishet men who try to break up the special relationship I have with the women in my life.

    Once again, not all men, but enough.

      Oh, for crying out loud. Here, I'll type slow.

      Sure, straight (an odd term in and of itself) white men, or probably straight men in general, are certainly the bain of someone like Miss T. But if you are in a group that happens to include a number of straight white men in it, and they have been supportive of you, doesn't it seem a bit odd that you'd troll them?

      Also, solid advice about not being so fragile, coming from someone who admittedly runs crying to the Board about other posters being mean.
      That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

        Thank you. That is what I was trying to say, you just typed it clearer.

            No. Not at all. I'd invite them to help me troll.

            Because while a few of us here may have attained some small measure of empathy and understanding specifically because we have been interacting with Miss T, a living, breathing person who is wounded by the prevailing norm of demonizing/shunning/patronizing women in her position, the majority of straight white men are still utter hateful dipsh-ts judging by their votes. That's her lived reality, not an abstraction. We can decide to discuss it in our quiet rooms, or not. She, and all women, have it in their face 24/7/365.

            I can't imagine how tiresome that must get. We are lucky snark is all we get for it. Were it I a mix of Molotov cocktails would also be called for.

                  I'm just of a mind that while venting, please try not to cast aspersions that include those of us here who've been supportive. No, I can't relate to most of what she's gone through in her life these past number of years, but she has my sympathies. At the same time, I'm not interested in being lumped in with the Morlocks.

                    Yeah, it's almost as if social perceptions have their own momentum and can be unfair.

                    5000 years of male domination over women resulting in rape and murder: "I don't even see gender."

                    5 seconds of female backlash against men resulting in snark: "THIS ATROCITY WILL NOT STAND!!!!"

                      I'm not sure anyone has earned an infinitely blank check but I this is pretty fully spot on.

                        Nothing is infinite. We are in a hinge cultural period. We'll probably live our whole lives in it. But it's a blink compared to the eons women have had to endure. In a hundred years assuming Dump hasn't destroyed Earth our descendants will laugh at our cultural preoccupations and have moved on to something else. But for us... "may you live in interesting times."

                          Love or hate him, Louis CK has some great comments on this from his Being White bit. "I don't want to go to the future and find out what happens to white people...".

                            I always find it interesting that the people who think minorities have it just as good as everyone else are the ones so deathly afraid of becoming the minority.

                              Yes, but she's rarely targeting specific posters for harassment like Flaggy and Foxton did, and how rufus is now with Rube.
