Everyday Feminism - aka Everyday Autism

[Alec Benson Leary]

How long until everyone not bleeding in splurts is a privelaged monster?

It's going to go full-circle at some point. Some pissy teenager in her parents' house will bitch about the privilege that people with real problems experience - the privilege of having their problems recognized when her own (nonexistent ones, like mom won't make her favorite macaroni dish for dinner) are not, even though she's expressly identifying as someone who doesn't have real problems but just wants free sympathy anyway.

We use it now to point out the hypocrisy of the fact that our lives are not perfect but the talking heads don't care because there's a difference between which sympathy recipients are in vogue and which are not. But at some point some of their own will bring up the exact same point but someone else in the movement will have just a little bit of trouble defining that whiny teenage girl out of the "oppressed" label like they usually do to whoever inconveniences their narrative and boom, there's suddenly a big crack in the dam that's only getting wider.

What these people don't understand is a lot of "average" sized folks didn't just happen to be born that way, they practice moderation and discipline to maintain it.

I wonder if these people would prefer if "average" was a size 20.

Yeah, I'd really like to ask the writer of that piece what they think the world should look like? Would everything in a shop be in 6' and over shelves to not discriminate against the tall or in 5' and under shelves to not discriminate against the short?

My point being, we design the world around us (the clothes, shoes, portion sizes, buildings, cars, planes etc.) to fit, be usable and comfortable for the largest percentage of people = the average.

But, to be fair, I kinda stopped reading properly and just skimmed through it after they equated going to the doctor to going to a gas station.

This is one of the fundamental truths the snowflakes never get.

The world cannot cater to you in particular without making it unlivable for me, and vice versa. It's about best fit, not PERFECT fit.

Go into any McDonalds in the US and they'll see that it already is. They've won.

Short Girl Problems:

(Ever had a bunch of library books fall on you because you tried to stand on your tip toes to reach up and grab one? Yeah. Stupid tall priveledge!)

Well maybe she wouldn't be so damn short if she took a day off from the sugar aisle. She'll be even shorter when they take a foot.

Whatever happened to asking a store clerk for help? Oh silly me, speech privilege.

Weirdly enough I have the opposite problem than the cows who complain about small sizes. I'm on the thinner side so a lot of times when I find something cool I'll take it off the rack and be like "wtf? Why is this store selling tarps?"

Remember when I gave EF credit for not publishing Riley's "if you won't date a lesbian with a penis, you're cissexist"? Well, they did.

Why don't they just say "We hate the evil homogays. They should date the opposite sex".

Feminists lately have engaged in more purity wars than before, concerning everything having to do with troons.
Maybe the misandry in some of them is so strong that they are incapable of maintaining the fantasy of pretending that male to female troons are TRVE women.

That's not a new thing, radfems have existed for a long time, even before libfems/third wave

Yeah but it was not until recently, like three to four years or something, that transexuals have been such a hot topic.

In mainstream stuff, yeah, plus it's only recently the TERF acronym became a thing, but in feminist and trans groups this had been brewing for a long long time.

This video brings up some good points on how feminists and SJWs will abuse transmen.

To be fair, if you go to their Facebook page, many of their readers disagree and quite a number are outright offended at the notion. Even people who are generally fans of Riley. (Including a few trans readers)

The ones who agree though are pretty loud.

You know exactly when the Tranz issues came to the forefront? Right after gay marriage was legalized. I mean, it was THE NEXT GODDAMN DAY! You could literally hear the professional victims and media jackals saying "Quick, we need something new to bitch about, NOW!"

 

[Sweet and Savoury]

Activism has become pretty big business.

So many news site and organization depend on out-rage culture to make money so they have a vested interest in pushing "the narrative"

People used to laugh at conservatives for believing in the slippery slope.
