I think a lot of people also miss the practical element. It sucks for men that they're a potential threat until proven otherwise, but can you blame women for taking measures that objectively improve their safety? I don't think anyone likes that women don't trust men, but, as it currently stands, the alternative is worse.
Sometimes you know but you don't feel it. I hated that feeling. Took months for me to get past, best of luck to any current eggs.
I have no alone time for another week. I've been doing much better than I would've expected, and in certain ways better than my baseline even, but I'm tired.
Imposter syndrome is the worst, because it turns even affirmation into dysphoria. My family's all affirmative, I just need a break from everyone. Also autism. Basically, confusing and mixed week.
After seeing what you're talking about, I'm glad I mostly stick to Blahaj Zone.
You're right, feelings do matter, and this post did not dispute that. It's just that safety matters more.
It saddens me that the default interpretation of this is accusatory and requiring of defense. Not to personally blame you, this is very common and clearly a systemic reaction, but I don't know enough psychology/politics/sociology to understand why, just enough to know it's bad.

I'm not part of a hive mind, I think that might be your problem. If you want to find a reason to be annoyed at me, I guess I can't stop you.
I think they were talking about fear politics (AKA politics), so roughly what you said in your second paragraph.
Sensory deprivation might be even worse than regular beatings, that's truly disgusting.
You have a completely different perspective than I. Yes, the Democratic party is being an ass to voters; yes, I hate them for what they're (not) doing; but I can slightly affect the odds to be slightly better for Palestine, so I will.
You can send a message that you're not a pawn, but they don't care, or at least in 4 years it won't matter anymore. If you want the best for Palestine, analyze your options for what's best, of which giving up and stepping back is not a very good one.
I'm not shaming you for not wanting to vote for him, I don't want to either, I'm trying to convince people that voting for him is in Palestine's best interest (better than Trump winning).
I'm barely alive and my parents are fine, if they were abusive I'd be long dead. I'm sure the legislators are very sad I survived.
I wish child abuse/neglect was illegal.

I've seen many people take absolutists stances and throw accusations or insults at others who don't. While I applaud that they recognized serious problems, I want everyone to understand why I might take actions that seem to ignore or even worsen those problems: I only have so much power and so many options, none of which are ideal, so I do the best I can with what I have. I might prioritize stopping one bad thing over stopping another; that's not me excusing the other bad thing, that's me playing the cards I have to get the least bad outcome.
Personally, I base my moral decisions on expected outcomes. I would pull the lever in the trolley problem. I understand some people think me a monster for that, and I certainly wouldn't feel good pulling it, but I see it as me net saving people. I disagree with people that wouldn't pull it, but I see where they're coming from and I'm not mad at them (disappointed, maybe). Of course, as well as pulling the lever, there may be options to try helping the one person on the tracks, and we should definitely attempt such a rescue.
This whole topic can be applied to the do-i-vote-for-biden thing that this community seems divided over, but it's much more broadly applicable too.
Anyway, this is just me saying that I don't think the absolutist all-or-nothing approach some people take is a good idea, and I also don't like when some of them call me a bad person for not doing the same.

Two (presumably) girls lying in bed holding hands and looking at each other. The one on the left, labeled "Me" has shoulder-length hair, an uncomfortable :| expression, and is wearing a black hoodie, grey jeans, and sneakers. The one on the right, labeled "Also me" has longer hair, a subtle smile, a blush, and is wearing a dress and high heels.
