oh but we can call people "a dick" and that's okay right?
stop being offended on behalf of other people
Why shouldn’t I be offended on behalf of other people? You just were.
Or is just that I shouldn’t be offended on behalf of people that you don’t like? Like women?
I gave an example. To show your double standard. And it is working.
Speaking up for atrocities towards other groups is something. Getting offended on behalf of other groups when no member of that group is feeling under attack is something else.
I really don't get it. I go to another thread on reddit and they call me a wokescold for speaking out on a insanely sexist joke. And I get called a misogynist here because I want people to treat women and men equally. Acting like women are more fragile than men is inherently sexist
Tbh, it's been a lot since the last time I called someone a "pussy". Because I think it's belittleling to women. But I frequently call people a "dick". Which is derogatory towards men and I shouldn't use it either. Turns out, slurs are created to offend people, who would've guessed
I can't count the times a neurotypical got offended on behalf of me. Those people also do a lot of belittleling. So much infantisation in fact, I would rather have them call me the r word. Or the times a christian got offended on behalf of me (back then when I was a muslim). It's annoying af
