Re: Why do people hate allies so much?

[(Anonymous)]

I can understand it to a degree. Recently I had a conversation with a guy who is in a LGBTA+Allies club at his school (being an allie) and he made such a big issue out of being in danger of being beaten up.
He really said it with such a gleeful voice, wow. Yes, it feels good to be on the "right", but don't act like you deserve a medal for supporting basic human rights.

Others use it as a defense, making the fucking point of adding "but not all guys/all hetero/all cis people/not EVERYONE is like that everytime a systematical opression gets pointed out. "look at me. look at my singular experience. Let's discuss how my anecdotes support or disagree with your global statistics", diverting from the problem.

Some people are self-righteous like that, but those people should be pointed out individually (and not in a hateful fashion).

if we're doing examples....

just recently, I was taking a class on Indigenous issues, and an Indigenous speaker came down from the country to give a presentation. anyway, after she finished, she said that she was a bit offended by the way most of the class were on their phones texting/facebooking while she was speaking.
and this one girl pipes up with "well, i'm personally offended that you think I can't pay attention while on my phone."

Wow....rude.

/this from someone who was on her phone a lot when she had a smartphone, but actually made a damn effort to stay off it in class when people were presenting something dammit.
