I think sometimes some women think in order to give their feminism legitimacy, they have to find women they can be openly critical about. it's like proving it's not just an ideological project, and that if they can prove they are just as willing to be openly critical of the "wrong" women as they are the "wrong" men, it will demonstrate that they are participating in logical arguments as opposed to emotional ones, and that it can't be said that they are just "man haters" or that they believe all women to be "perfect angels" or w/e.

can I just disabuse you of the idea that anyone who isn't already on board with female liberation is ever going to give you legitimacy? no, you don't have to go to the mat for terrible conservative women. no, you don't have to love everything every female artist makes. no, you don't have to be conflict free. but before you type your sneering remarks about whoever the fuck, it might be worth practicing taking a moment...a beat...to really really think if maybe you could find a man more worth the scorn and then direct those feelings at him.

don't find more complicated ways to still call a woman a bitch in your mind

what's that thing about putting "white" in front of "woman" to justify your misogyny

i love to make fun of notorious white woman Taylor Swift and all of her embarrassing attempts to appear deeper than a plate of soup.

taylor has that lyric on her new album about her man feeling her up while his friends play GTA and my initial reaction was to roll my eyes cause girl... but then i seen someone say if lana sang that everyone would be eating it up and its kinda true. why would it be so cringe if taylor sang "you name your babe Lilac Heaven, after your IPhone 11" but when lana does it its just not.

If a post doesn't apply to you it means the person who made it is excluding you on purpose. If someone makes a broad generalization in a tumblr post it means they know about your individual experiences and they're ignoring you deliberately because they hate you and want to make you mad. So if you see a post that doesn't factor in your personal perspective you should make sure to leave a comment of at least three paragraphs to make sure the op knows how deeply they have hurt you and how serious the matter truly is
