Re: What frustrates you about people "on your side"?
(Anonymous) 2017-10-01 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)I don't know how you narrow down how much of it is misogyny and how much of it is it getting reported in the news randomly.
It was a comment talking about the current call-out culture and it said the biggest issue it had with it was being able to shake off call-outs was the definition of privilege. That some rich white frat boy accused of being transphobic is going to laugh and high-five his bros and go on with his life, but a queer POC girl is going to lose her 'woke' friends and suffer a great deal more. It's a system designed to hurt the least privileged the most.
But the problem is that your response to that can't just be "Well, let's never criticize things that are bad". If the underlying critiques are bad, we have to be able to talk to them. A series of small decisions to let people slide on things because we like them is literally what the system of privilege is.
Now obviously we can talk about how we go about doing this and the conversations that we have and the systems that we use to do it in. But just saying that there's misogyny there isn't an argument against the validity of the critiques.
