hello-its-kelly: A teenage girl posting likely goodbye messages to her friends and family before allegedly committing suicide on a road is like sad and all, but thank fucking CHRIST someone on the DM is able to see that the real victim here is the van driver!!!! Poor fucking you mate. Poor fucking you. Isn’t the real victim here the van driver? Sure, what she did to herself was tragic…. but she chose to make someone else a killer. Now I get that in your world only women matter. Ever. At all. But in the real world some poor person just brutally murdered a young person ENTIRELY UNINTENTIONALLY. Now they have to go through the rest of their life with the pain, the doubt, and the anguish… not to mention the memories burned into their mind. I mean I get that you don’t give a fuck that the man was treated for shock. Why would you give a fuck? He’s a man. That SHE chose to emotionally damage. No one in this scenario is innocent but him…. and you couldn’t give less of a fuck about him. Because he’s male.

Oh Lord.

In my world, everyone matters. In the real world, women don’t matter as much.

He didn’t murder anyone. Murder isn’t hitting someone with a car by accident as they chose to end their lives by walking into traffic?? This is not a murder.

I didn’t say I didn’t give a fuck about him. But I think in an article about an obviously troubled young woman, the emphasis should probably be on the young woman. I’m not saying it wasn’t upsetting for him. I’m saying that she had it worse. For real.

Seriously I don’t even know how to counter the “you don’t give a fuck because he’s a man” because you’re so far beyond the point I doubt there’s any reasoning with this. Feminism =/= hating men and this is really the crux of what I was trying to say.

Any attack on the norm of making a male the centre of a story is perceived as an attack on all of the males and therefore it rattles the comfort everyone derives from living in the patriarchy bubble. Mainly, I just wanted to show that actually this story is about a poor young woman who thought the best way to end her life was to step out onto a motorway.

Sorry for stepping on your privilege.
