#b)harmful c) class conciousness who?
Text
sorry but it drives me insane that a bunch of french men with the egos bigger than their tower and a whole lotta french pedophiles got together with the fuckin c i a and ivly league schools and. now. today. this. THIS is the state of the "liberal leftist" west. and you got "commies" who pretend to eat the manifesto for breakfast but who think "swerfs" exist. its like a really, really, really, Really bad joke which doesnt stop and which is real
#god has a sense of humor it is obvious#....#being an anthropology major. and not being able to stand all this. is a fucking nightmare#the fact that i feel a need to conciousness raise abt this class in any form of sort way is. a nightmare. like i do it and i do not like#that i feel i have to do this. but someone needs to fucking say something#you know. my professor held this viewpoint that there is a difference between the classroom and outside. academia and the non academic#but. there isnt. there fucking isnt and were quite literally seeing the very real life very scary impacts of it. before our eyes.#so like yea when i know that quite literally no one will say anything substantial against postmodern narratives of feminism in particular#that are taught. and that this WILL be taken as the PROPER feminism even Outside of academia. Yea i have to say something about it#and i have to provide a different viewpoint and actually i have to be like. hey? that sex work thing? a)offensive#b)harmful c) class conciousness who?#...... when it is directly taught that postmodern feminism is the feminism which is the most current. the one which is most inclusive. It#Will Be and it has been understood as the feminism outside the classroom#which sorry. everyone likes to pretend like feminism is this individual thing but I got a real damn problem with the fact#that these narratives are harming. directly. in real life. a whole lot of fucking people which are mainly women#....... if theres one thing that being really damn traumatized but getting out of it taught me. is that individual freedom really doesnt#mean that much...... what haunts me more. frankly. what haunts me so much more than my own trauma#is that its happening to other fucking people. still. .... my freedom brings me little comfort when i know this. at all times.#...... once again i say. who will care if we dont as women for one another. who. w h o. the... the? who knows maybe lets be generous 5% of#men who are genuinely. okay people who see us as full human beings?.... were half the fucking population#..... most obviously we have differences but differences and all it turns out. contrary to the western Youre Born Alone You Die Alone Bro#mentality. we are all very much tied together and quite stuck together and quite dependent on each other in a million damn ways#... and we NEED each other.#.#so. if 3 of the white kids (and noone else LMAO of course its the fucking white kids) now shoot daggers at me when i walk into class. i#dont give a shit. Because so many of the women who are antisex work will not have the opportunity and dont have the opportunity to be in a#western classroom and speak out about these things. they dont. because theyre too busy being half drugged out tryint to cope and survive on#the streets.#but i. technically. got out. and im here. so I have to fucking say something about it.

Okay so I put a rather long tag response on this post, then realised after pressing reblog that Tumblr cuts it off after a certain amount of tags or something, and I was going to post this as a reblog but thought better of it, realised that this could apply to more than just this situation, and decided to make it an original post (although I did just copy-paste what I was going to reblog it with so it probably will make more sense if you check out the original post, not 100% necessary though.
(But please do check it out it's important)
I've put it under a cut bc it gets pretty long
Ahh I always forget that once I get past a certain number of tags tumblr just doesn't show the rest which is annoying but here we go again.
Here's what I had so far:
#Oh shit ok I didn't know this#Will be trying to remove this from my conscious speech immediatedly#I would like to say though (This gets really long be prepared)#(bear with me on this)#At a glance#many of these responses are either people being like#'Oh shit okay I didn't know this I won't use it any more'#(Very much like my response)#or it's people getting so annoyed/angry at people who just genuinely don't know#like guys please#I do genuinely understand that this is a terrible thing and fuck it makes me angry as well#But!#Getting angry at the people who actually don't know about it isn't gonna help!#tell people about it!#spread the word!#But remember lot's of people probably picked it up from fandom or similar spaces#and spaces like that are filled with young people!!!#People who probably had no exposure to this!! people who#Just#Didn't#Know#And That's ok!!!#It's okay to not have the information about it#I'm not trying to justify the term or the way it's used legally#But sometimes#It's okay to not know about something#even something that could be potentially harmful#Ignorance is not a crime!!!#What's bad is the people who know about it but continue to use it#(Conciously!!! It can be hard to completely scrap an entire common phrase from you everyday vocabulary. and mistakes are ok! it happens)
And here's the general gist of the rest of what I was saying:
And the people who use this as a legal defence! And the people who accept/condone this being used as a legal defence!
Speaking as a young person myself, 'The News' isn't as big a thing anymore! and the likelihood of them even putting something like this in it is so slim! augh! And I really haven't been sheltered at all but like I hear about things through my friends, my teacher/classmates, my family, tumblr, and the radio in the car once in a blue moon. If there's a car crash like two streets away from my school I don't know about it unless a) I see it, b) someone in my class or one of my friends says something about it, or c) my grandma starts an hour long conversation about it. There's a murderer on the other side of the state? I only know about it if a friend mentions it from a murder podcast or if mum is like 'well this is one of the reasons I don't want you to go to this completely unrelated place in broad daylight with lot's of people around, two friends, and your friend's mum working literally a five minute walk away'. Now, you may be questioning where the fuck I'm going with this and how this relates to the term 'gay panic' but my point is, we don't really hear about current events anymore, and if we do it's like an add about stocks or bitcoin or how apparently china is going to kill the Australian Currency, or its something about America, which, let's face it, are they really going to put something like this in the news and it'll get broadcasted to other countries? no. or it's election time and we see peoples faces on stobie polls everywhere being like 'this is the reason you should vote for me!' and I'm like 'I don't care that's a completely irrelevant thing and I didn't even know it existed until five seconds ago!' or something similar. also! this was literally abolished where I live when I was like nine or ten, which, not great but also just serves my point that SOME PEOPLE JUST DON"T KNOW!!!!!
I cannot emphasise the extent that I have not been shelter at all enough without going much further into my personal life then I would like to right now, and I do know that I'm probably speaking from a place of privilege, but my point is.
Lot's of people
Genuinely
Don't
Know
AND THAT"S NOT A CRIME!!!!
Don't get angry at them for ot know, tell them about it and give them as much information as they ask for that you have or you know where to get, because otherwise they're just going to either a) get angry right back at you or b) feel like shit about themselves because they didn't know this thing and used a harmful term without knowing because they thought it was fine, so many people around them who are also of the same community use it after all. And do you really want either of those outcomes? it's not productive, it's not helpful, really, it's the opposite at both those things.
Just guys, please. don't get mad at someone for not knowing
