no, i just thought i'd tell you that I read your article about the Gillette ad and it does a pretty good job of explaining what i can't put in words to those that don't get it ... i've linked to it quite a few times
It's a huge shame you are getting treated like that. I've seen that attitude online recently that the whole right wing is far right - which doesn't even make sense really.
so, it's interesting. i don't dare open my mouth as a member of leadership on a college campus for fear of losing my job by expressing wrongthink. some of my opinions are considered unpopular so i bite my tongue because i like what I do here.
thats what i did for years. but the thing is, there are many people who secretly agree with you. they are just waiting for someone to speak it. we cant wait for things to change, we ARE the change
it's incredibly frustrating to be in such a politically charged environment surrounded by activists on the other side of the spectrum yet there are no repercussions for their opinions getting expressed
what just boggles my mind, is that these people, whatever you say they are, label themselves as "harmony, includer, consistency, context, etc" but when you want to challenge their view and ask to be included, you get those look of udder shock
i should have taken a picture of this. a while back, we have an area on campus that is used for demonstrations/gatherings and this particular day a feminist group was protesting sexual violence. good for them. they hung shirts with various slogans on them that were meant to bring awareness to different aspects of assault/violence.
One of the shirts read in black ink, "men are to be shamed, women are to be believed" ... and my jaw dropped because such blanket statements can never universally be true and divisive / harmful rhetoric like this only harms the discussion
Just been playing Alan Wake. 😃 I've gotten to chapter 2 and I really recommend it. It's like playing a movie. I also relate to the writer character a lot.
