mirandaadria: badmoon-rising: Stop separating people to try and achieve equality.



Don’t say that racism towards ‘white people’ doesn’t exist. Racism is discrimination of ANY race. Sure it’s minimal compared to what other races go though, but it still exists. Don’t shit all over men who say they’re feminists. Guys can be feminists too. They can support equality between genders just as well as women can. Don’t make passive aggressive and shitty posts/comments about ‘straight allies’ because they can fight for equal rights as well. They can give a fuck about it.



Stop fucking saying that cis/white/straight/males (as an example) can’t support equality. Because maybe they couldn’t imagine the horrible things you’ve experienced due to other people’s ignorance but they sure as hell can be against it and want it to change.



The only people who don’t support equality are ignorant assholes and they can be any race, gender or sexuality. Just because someone doesn’t hasn’t experienced discrimination, doesn’t mean they can’t fight against it. It doesn’t mean they don’t care, and it doesn’t mean their help and opinions are less important. Stop separating people because we will never achieve equality this way. Hey. Asswipe. Cishet white men were the ones who separated us all in the first place. #if you disagree or I’ve made a mistake be a mature person and CALMLY and KINDLY let me know Last time I checked, calling me an ‘asswipe’ is kinda rude. I agree, but doing the same thing back is going to achieve absolutely nothing. Isn’t the point of equality to change the bullshit that’s happened in the past?

We want support and we want to educate people about equality and how important it is but separating them in this way isn’t going to help. (also not all ‘cishet white men’ are assholes).

Jesus Christ, egalitarians are so boring.

“Not all cishet white men are the same”.

Great. Get me a detector that automatically shows me which cishet men in my general vicinity are the evil ones. You know, all I have to do is point it at them and a little display says “rapist” or “racist” or “child molester”. Hey, it can even work for women, too! You know, equal opportunity and all that! But you know, it should work for men first and foremost, since the majority of sexual assaults, rapes, and crimes are caused by cishet white men against, well, pretty much all of us.

Your statements are indicative of someone that has absolutely zero fucking clue how power dynamics within a hetero-normative patriarchal society actually work. Treating those that oppress us as our equals does not work. Did you get that? DOES. NOT. WORK. If you are beneath someone in a hierarchy, you are automatically NOT their equal. That’s what a hierarchy is. These hierarchies were created and are being maintained by cishet white men, both those who rule the world and the ones who live among us.

I can treat a man in my life as my equal, but within the greater scope of reality, I am still beneath him in the social, political, and economical ladder. Identifying as a woman, as pansexual, as Latina, all those things affect how I am perceived by society.

Your “we should be nicer to our oppressors” schtick is old, tired, boring, and has never worked. Throughout history, it has never worked.

Now, going into the specifics of what you said:

Racism against white people does not exist, since it was white people who created the divisions between us according to our skin color in the first place.

Cishet men cannot be feminists because this movement was created BY women FOR women AND for women’s goals of liberation and social equality. Feminism does indeed aid men, but not to the extent that it is meant to aid women. Not because men deserve aid less than women; because, by the very nature, of the societies we live in, men need the help LESS.

Straight allies need to take a back seat and stop making the struggle for LGBTQIAP+ rights about them and their feelings. This isn’t about them. it’s about us, being bullied and kicked out of our homes and harassed and killed over not fitting into a hetero-normative society. At the end of the day, a straight ally is STILL STRAIGHT, and therefore will not be subjected to the cruelty the LGBTQIAP+ community faces. Excuse me if I’m not interested in their feelings.

And lastly, when feminists (and feminist supporters) are talking about white men, it is a criticism of the community as a whole, particularly how they exist as part of the oppressive group. As has been stated by others on Tumblr, saying “some men” or “a few men” removes the responsibility from ALL men to be introspective and examine their own privilege. By saying “white men” or “cishet white men”, they are then forced to either acknowledge that it’s not about them or that it’s all about them.

Your entire post puts the onus on the oppressed to make things better, rather than addressing the ones who oppress us to stop oppressing us.

That’s why you’re an asswipe.
