This kind of thing terrifies me. I think there's a solid chance that that particular tweet is a joke, but the idea that there are people out there honestly concerned with the "woke mind virus" and about how women are this and that is horrifying.
Even more, the possibility that I'm just blind to my own insanity is what really fucks me up. What if they're right and I'm crazy? Seeing so much insanity that you just have to wonder if your own sanity has been compromised.
If I ever have that thought, I remember I'm not the one who hates people for immutable traits, or punches down in the name of humour
I remind myaelf of this all the time, to the point that this post pretty much wins the thread.
Tap for spoiler
(Seriously lmao the MRA's choosing this thread to #NotAllMen in is just the chef's kiss.)(Which is on top of:
Sanity is overrated No i mean it i reject Sanism )
Keep asking yourself this. Try to honestly see things from their point of view. It makes you stronger. To paraphrase Sun Tzu,
Yeah, I reckon it's good to question one's own beliefs and presuppositions. Still, it's upsetting.
What if I understand my enemy but not myself?
Oh boy you are in for a treat
I love treats :D
