I'm so tired of the 'well *condescending explaination* Susan, meme phrase. like I think it was a really useful format for certain topics related to like, wealthy white women's sense of privilege or being out of touch with other ppls experiences esp poc or poor ppl and thats a great usage of it, but more and more I see it applied to completely unrelated topics and it's just starting to sound unironically misogynistic

#most revent example is a lawyer (?) on here patronizingly explaining why marriage is a financial imperative because of equal distribution #of property rights or something. and they admitted they were older so maybe this is why #they were so concerned about women becoming homeless or impoverished if they split from their bfs #which presupposes several things including the idea that a legally binding contract is less likely to make someone dependant on another #person. which is. arguable I suppose but its a rather narrow and rigid view imo #but anyway if you're so wortied aboutbthese women maybe don't patronize them and talk down to them #like ofc financial dependence leading to homelessness and impoverishment for women is a critical issue #but I hate how they approached it like women who don't want to marry are shortsighted or stupid?#damn maybe they make their own money. its 2023 #which is NOT saying the wage gao isnt real etc. etc. they just bothered me!#marriage is a huge commitment and its one a lot of people dont want for MANY reasons #like oh so arguing women have to get married is like standing up for women's rights or something? fuck off #plus it makes splitting from abusive partners so much more difficult and expensive which is even harder if they dont have their own income #cor.txt
