But it's not just 'every subject;' that's being dismissive. It's politics explicitly legitimizing the experiences of everyone who has been disenfranchised by society specifically because of who/what they are (woman, latinx, gay, neuro-atypical, TGNC, disabled, etc). Many of these questions and how they're treated inform our sense of ethics, civics, the responsibilities we have to our neighbors and ourselves, and what we want for our futures. You're talking like these or related politics don't influence several parts of your daily life, but they do. People enfranchised by the status quo can conveniently ignore it, that's their privilege should they choose to exercise it. The rest of us live in the double consciousness, aware of the status quo and ways we fall outside it. Ms. Green is trying to straddle the line between choosing that bubble and popping it, but it doesn't work that way. If she still wants to be seen as an advocate for these causes, she needs to walk the walk in addition to talking the talk. The bare minimum here is not shacking up with people who's political beliefs dehumanize or erase people like you. Ammonitida posted... But were they even in a boyfriend/girlfriend type relationship? I recall it being strictly a sexual thing. You can hate-fuck someone too. Azealia Banks did it with white men. Is Azealia Banks really the ruler by which we want to measure ourselves here, because that's a wake up call, sis. --- Whatever happened to standards? Whatever happened to bare minimums? https://i.imgtc.com/7UnK3hx.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard! |
