OP

(Anonymous) 2012-10-07 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
For what it's worth, my goal wasn't to diminish other peoples' experiences, and I realize I was going about this in the wrong way.

I was trying to figure out how many people have been living under systematic deprivation, rather than short term, transient deprivation. In no way was I aiming to discount peoples' feelings about their experiences, and it wasn't my intention to judge people about what and how much they've done, nor try and prove that I've had it worse.

I realize I came off as sounding like I was being judgmental and, as you said, trying to win the oppression olympics. This wasn't my intention, but I should have rephrased what I said at any rate. My reason for providing my own experience was to say, "Yeah, I know what you mean, but I meant more along the lines of this." Not because I was trying to one-up the other person.

I've been having a hard time framing what it is I've wanted to say, and it's biting me in the ass.

All the same, I'm sorry that you've had those kinds of experiences. I hope that you're in a better place now, and can stay there.
