shadowcatphaserOkay, I've been to my mosaic class and I did a really bitching (oh noes I've insulted female dogs! I've got human priviledge! WAAAH) border on a fish in pinky gold goldy pink and I'm a bit calmer now.
You can't win talking common sense to politicallycorrectzis. You just get a lot of fucking academic women's studies jargon back.
Common sense-someone said something crass and insensitive. I tore them a new one. They apologised. I got over it and got the fuck on with my life. It sucks but that's life and whoever said life was fair?
Politcally correct facist worldview-waah wahh I'm oppressed. I'm a special snowflake VICTIM. You're OPPRESSING ME YOU OPPRESSOR. It doesn't matter if the other party apologises. Because you see, their apology is worthless. Because they have priviledge. And they are Derailing. And somesuch bullshit.
When other kids said hurtful things about me my mother said to me sticks and stones blah blah blah. Basically what she said was in a slightly nicer way-get the fuck over it. People are mean. better learn to live with it or you'll spend your life cowering in a corner weeping. Not enough American mothers impart such robust common sense to their younglings, I think. Because this is a pretty darn Yank thing.
Life is unfair. People have prejudiced ugly opinions. You have to live with it. No you shouldn't have to, but the fact is you do. Cause that's the way it fucking is and it's never going to be any different.
Get over it.
No doubt the people there think I'm every ist and phobic in the book. When in fact I'm all for tolerance and the eradication of prejudice. It's not like I don't know what it's like to have prejudice aimed at me. I'm an obese woman with mental health problems. I've had morons be prejudiced against me. You don't see me whining about 'thin privilege' or 'mentally stable privilege'. For Christ's sake. What I believe in is freedom of speech.
It's just fascism that fools itself into thinking it's doing it for noble reasons. Fuck off.
