i really wish this drama would die but apparently i can't let it go either



part of what's happening here is our inability to separate "said something sexist" from "is a sexist monster"



our movement desperately needs a little more humanity & some education on restorative justice

every cis man I have ever organized with for any significant period of time has said or done something informed by sexism.



every white person i have ever organized with for any significant period of time (including myself) has said or done something informed by racism

oppressive structures are the sea we swim in.



we are all affected by them.



that doesn't make us horrible people to be thrown in the trash.



accepting that is a huge step toward approaching people and organizing in a healthier way.
