black-eyes-and-blood: megamean09: Hating one of the biological sexes makes you a sexist piece of shit.

Hating a race makes you a racist piece of shit.

Hating a gender identity makes you a cis/transphobic piece of shit.

Hating a sexual orientation makes you a homo/hetero/bi/pan/etc. -phobic piece of shit.

Hating someone for something they literally can not control, regardless of “privilege” and the “system”, makes you a piece of shit. and most importantly, Redefining words so that hating someone for something they can not control is okay when YOU do it makes you a dumbass AND a piece of shit.

Ummm no. A marginalized person hating the dominant group is NOT racist, sexist, etc. because they don’t have the institutional power to hurt that group. Redefining words to reflect the reality of racism, sexism, and other forms of oppression is necessary to create movements that actually address the roots of these problems. Yeah, feeling like someone hates you for being white/male/straight/cis feels shitty, but maybe your brief discomfort will give you some perspective on what it’s like to be hated for your identity AND live in a society that denies you equal access to education, resources, jobs, safety, and basic human dignity because of who you are. Because if you’re part of the dominant group, you don’t have to deal with the second part. Ah yes, ye olde ‘privilege + power’ excuse.



Do you even realise how insane and deluded that that thought pattern is?

It sounds like something someone in a straightjacket would say to justify their acts.



Don’t believe me? Let’s apply this “logic” to another scenario, shall we? Burning down a fancy house is not an act of arson.

Arson is an act of vandalism. You cannot vandalize a house that is fancier than yours because the house owners have had the privilege to afford a nicer house than yours.

It’s only a brief inconvenience on their part because they’re probably rich enough to afford another smaller house.

Therefore, by setting fire to their homes, you’re merely advocating them to your less-fortunate lifestyle.

Lol your “argument” isn’t comparable at all. A fancy house doesn’t have the ability to set up institutional bias against less expensive houses. Fancy houses do not set up systems entirely to benefit them and belittle/put down other houses. They do not deny rights to entire communities of houses and believe that they are superior to the less expensive houses. Vandalism of a house is just that, vandalism of a house because there is literally nothing else to it. So if you want to keep trying to invalidate this point, definitely try again.

Reverse racism, sexism, etc. isn’t a thing because the entire gimmick to racism is that it allows the dominant group to marginalize the other group and is used as an excuse to allow an unjust system to continue to harm/disregard the marginalized groups that aren’t included. Marginalized groups can’t actually do that to dominant groups. They do not have the power/ability because they do not live in a world tailored to them.

Yeah, try not to hate anyone, but don’t tell people who hate a group of people responsible for the shit they have to face every day that they’re wrong because that group of people “didn’t ask to be dominant”. Instead maybe tell the dominant groups to stop just letting a very biased and unfair system continue the way it is and do something about it. You know, actually use their privilege to the advantage of everyone instead of whining because they didn’t ask for it.
