So disappointing to see bootlicking women writing paragraphs defending men and often shitting on women, in response to posts related to radical feminism. “I love men!” “Women/society are horrible to men!” “We don’t deserve men!” Girl, you think a man would stand up in a room full of misogynistic men and wax poetic about how they’re horrible to women, and women are actually incredible? Even in an online space, you’d be hard pressed to find a single man writing a fucking novel standing up for women in response to a thread of misogynistic comments. Even the nicest ones in your life won’t stand up for women, because when other men are openly misogynistic, the nice ones are twiddling their thumbs while thinking of how nice they are, but they suddenly find their voice when women complain about misogyny. Wake up.
I realize that in order to explain slavery to white people, you have to speak to them in their white language (true crime documentary). And I realize it’s not all white people so please use your comprehension skills when reading this.
Your ancestors were Jeffery Dahmers and Ed Geins of their generation, before there was a Jeffery Dahmer or Ed Gein 🙃. There, does that help you realize that this shit isn’t “a long time ago” for us? That this isn’t something that we can just “get over”? If your obsessive need to reintroduce serial killers to the masses by giving them sympathetic villain-esq movies then I don’t wanna hear shit about black people talking about slavery and systematic racism too much. Let me give you a list of what these people have done:
Used our teeth for dentures
Used our hair to stuff furniture because the cotton they had us pick was too valuable
Used our skin as leather
Whipped, burned, lynched, dismembered us
Sexually assaulted us and forced us to have their mulatto children that they wouldn’t claim unless it was as property
Wrote us down as cattle/livestock and didn’t consider us as human
Put us in zoos or kidnapped us for circuses
Use us as medical and scientific experiments (I.e, Henrietta Lacks, Sara Bothem, the way women are expected to give birth on their backs)
You don’t even wanna know where the term motherfucker came from so don’t ask
Manipulate the system to work in their favor even though they like to blame us and other minorities for its failures
Steal our work
This list can go a lot longer than this but just know, this isn’t a game. This isn’t old news, this isn’t some flyby night movie that’ll have Twitter all ablaze until the next scandalous topic pops up. This is a generational curse.
