It would genuinely benefit a lot of you, both internally and in how you interact with people, if you could learn to say to yourself, "this isn't about me," in place of, "this isn't true about me so the person saying it is insulting/being mean to me."

Sometimes generalizations are made on the Internet. Sometimes the only way a meaningful message about something can be said is by using a generalization.

If you're part of the group being generalized (and that generalization isn't racist, phobic, or otherwise directed harmfully at a minority by someone outside of that minority), and the generalization doesn't accurately describe your actions or beliefs

👏 That👏 Statement👏 Is Not👏 About👏 You👏

If you are willing to admit that the majority of people in the generalized group do behave or believe like op said, congratulations, you are agreeing with the statement!

Making it about you does multiple things:

It makes you upset over someone saying something inaccurate about you when it wasn't about you, which is silly and unnecessary

It makes you inclined to disalign yourself with the group calling out bad behavior, because you've incorrectly counted yourself as one of their named adversaries

It makes you more likely to become an actual adversary to that group because their callouts and concerns make you feel guilty and uncomfortable and your brain, if it doesn't want to accept that, may try to counter it by deciding that group is unreasonable, illogical, or x derogatory thing

It encourages you to feel and act like a victim when you're not, which is both bad for your mental health and a great way to make others uncomfortable around you

If you make comments to defend yourself when it wasn't about you:

It clogs up tags and responses with needless discourse

It derails and dilutes the original message

It informs minorities that you cannot be trusted to maturely handle their concerns because you're going to take it as a personal criticism when it's not about you

So basically, if you feel defensive about something you read, ask yourself:

Is this statement an accurate description of my actions or beliefs?

If the answer is yes but you feel guilty about it, it is about you and you should take steps to actually do what the post is suggesting and counter that behavior or belief that you don't want to have.

If the answer is no, it wasn't about you. Reblog the post and move on.

Sociopolitical/Biopolitical Genders

Flags in order: sociopolitical nonbinary (sociopolinb), sociopolitical cenilunar (sociopolife), sociopolitical cenitidal (sociopolima); (second three) biopolitical non-binary (biopolinb), biopolitical cenilunar (biopolife), biopolitical cenitidal (biopolima).

Context: sociopolitical is self-identitarianly, biopolitical is heteronomous. These are meant for those who reclaim politically (or conceptually/philosophically) manhood/masculinity, femininity/womahood, or non-binariness.

Image descriptions pending (feel free to add and I will add back in the original post crediting you). - Ap

Any other people who were active in feminist rhetoric like ten years ago really miss where the conversation used to be?

Free the nipple, people's genitals are none of your business, decriminalization of public intimacy, kink is healthy, nudity is morally neutral, etc?

Feels like everything has shifted so far backwards, and I feel crazy for like, not having abandoned the more progressive outlook when I hear bonkers takes nowadays.

Re: the Argentina question and with something the other anon said

Argentina has a very dark history and some of the white Argentinians are proud that Argentina housed and protected a lot of n*zis after the WW2.

Also white argentinian football fans have made racist comments about French players who are black and Brazilians.

The amount of racism in Argentina is insane, especially when there is afro and indigenous Argentinians.

So yeah Latam doesn't really like Argentina that much. Is it some petty beef sometimes? Yeap but with Argentina, it goes deeper.

Oh man this is definitely deeper than I thought! Thanks for giving your perspective as well!

Funny how when so many people say “I don’t care if you’re ___”, what they really mean is “I’ll give you basic respect as long as I can ignore that part of you”

Gonna ramble a bit.

I don’t like policies where the predictable consequences are going to cause people to run in and scream at me, in the abstract.

People point at me, in the abstract, and shout, in the abstract, “You’re supposed to be in charge around here - fix this!”

Gay marriage is not a policy that causes people to run in and scream at me because, even though it offends religious people, you’re pretty much either attracted to the same sex or you’re not, and if gay people pair off in marital bliss well they have someone to support them better in the event of health problems or old age, so it actually reduces the amount of people running in and screaming at me.

People doing gender transition as adults largely does not cause people to run in and scream at me. (There are a few edge cases.)

People going “the NBA is heightist” cannot be satisfied - if I decree that the NBA needs to have the same average height as the general population, they’ll move on to showing that short players, I dunno, make fewer free throws on average or something, then start right the fuck back up again. There is no way for me to placate them.

As for polygamy, it’s pretty much infeasible to reverse without a right-wing coup d’etat to reinstall the old norms, which happen to belong to some of the most successful civilizations historically.

The argument that it will have an equal sex distribution is, “Me and the other 10 people in my social circle, who all have IQs of 120-150 and are neurodivergent, are doing this, and it’s worked out for us!” Most people are not autistic folks with an IQ of 130. Most people are not gay or bisexual or transgender. That is not a real sample of what will happen when a bunch of 100 IQ cis heterosexual neurotypicals get their hands on it, and half the reports I receive on it are cases of it not working out to begin with.

The other argument is “human rights!” ...which of course prohibits any sort of hedging against potential downsides that may or may not materialize. Auction off the secondary marriage licenses issued to keep the gender balance? “That’s a violation of my human rights!”

Of course as I mentioned, polygamy as it exists in the world today is correlated with civil disorder, and civil disorder sucks balls in terms of respecting human rights.

Alright? They gave me a command to build a human rights machine when they pointed at me and demanded “human rights.” That has to be implemented somehow, and it’s in a society so it has to be built out of humans. I don’t have robots that can implement “human rights.” “Human rights” do not fall from the sky. I need guns and cops and courts and taxes and armies and half the guys I’ll have available to recruit from are going to be below the median level of talent.

Polygamy is just going to result in an endless string of complaints.

“These women are being abused! Why did sexual equality norms deteriorate?” “Where did all these incels come from? I demand you do something about these incels!” (After ten years:) “Why do I have to be the second wife for a guy, I wanted to be the first wife! Society pressured me into this! White cis heteropatriarchy invented polygamy to oppress us! I can’t believe they’ve been doing this to us for 500 years!”

It’s going to be the same thing, over and over again, and they’ll try to legislate the complaints, and all of this will be made into my problem.

The dialogue on this goes like,

Guy: “But dude, it won’t happen.” Me: Why? Guy: “It just won’t.” Me: There’s no reason for me to believe that. Guy: “Dude, me and my queer anarchist collective of garbage collectors are all in one polycule and it works fine!”

And you know what? It probably does work fine for you!

But letting all of society do this means all of society.

Take a good look at the countries leading/have started the legal battles to hold the IOF accountable -their fights to end IOF terrorism and war crimes, as this should have been done months ago, are now beginning.

So many Palestinian people have been genocided, and the rampant global government inaction has caused chaos, death, and destruction of Gaza... I just hope this leads to a permanent ceasefire and an end to the occupation. I truly do.
