I don’t associate or align with radical feminism, especially the kind perpetuated by white women. Currently prioritizing offline life cuz I’m supporting my gay little family and I am mentally ill. @vibrantvenosity is my wife Art Blog
The identity of OP is unimportant because I’ve seen this sentiment all over the place. But when I saw this post I just felt compelled to talk about this mentality.
Most likely this same logic is not applied to, say, politicians. Let’s put aside the fact that there is (unfortunately) no concrete delineation between a person who is merely a “private citizen” and a person who might be in the “public interest.” That’s the kind of distinction that everyone has to subjectively make for themselves.
The “nobody can criticize anyone for any reason” outlook is a childish, hyper-individualistic outlook that contributes to Missing Stair type social dynamics.
Have you ever been in a house that had something just egregiously wrong with it? Something massively unsafe and uncomfortable and against code, but everyone in the house had been there a long time and was used to it? "Oh yeah, I almost forgot to tell you, there's a missing step on the unlit staircase with no railings. But it's okay because we all just remember to jump over it."
Some people are like that missing stair.
When I posted about a rapist in a community I belonged to, although I gave almost no details about the guy except "he's a rapist," I immediately got several emails from other members of that community saying "oh, you must mean X." Everyone knew who he was! Tons of people, including several in the leadership, instantly knew who I meant. The reaction wasn't "there's a rapist among us!?!" but "oh hey, I bet you're talking about our local rapist." Several of them expressed regret that I hadn't been warned about him beforehand, because they tried to discreetly tell new people about this guy. Others talked about how they tried to make sure there was someone keeping an eye on him at parties, because he was fine so long as someone remembered to assign him a Rape Babysitter.
(Please go on to read the whole “Missing Stair” blog post. It reflects some experiences I’ve had as well!)
I understand that rape accusations and “callout posts” can be used as vectors of harassment. It can also be really annoying for some rando who you’ve never talked to to send you a callout post for some other rando you’ve never talked to. I’ve seen a lot of that on tumblr especially in the late 2010’s. But there has to be some kind of reasonable position on this issue for people who actually want to live in community with other people instead of completely eschewing any kind of responsibility for the community you’re in. And at the same time it’s unsustainable to foster a culture of hypervigilance and paranoia.
You have to use your critical thinking skills, no matter what. There is no easy one-size-fits-all principle you can adopt.
I can’t help but feel like the current hyper-individualistic social climate is also partly due to the failure of the #MeToo movement to change the cultural paradigm, which I do feel it had the potential to. But moreover I think that a hyper-individualistic culture is at least partly a product of the capitalist mode of production. We are atomized from each other, even as we attempt to reach out (sometimes digitally).
It always falls back on respectability “if you’re mean to cishet people then they’ll become a bigot and it’ll be your fault!!! We’re supposed to be the kind and nice brigade and not be mean ever lest we prove conservatives right 🥺😭 stop being mean to our ally’s they’ll turn right wing” if all it took was a lgbt to tell u go fuck urself for u to “become” a bigot you already were one you were just looking for a “justifiable reason” shit like this is why whites will never be comrades yall are pussies and kiss ups these the same bitches that thing they’re doing something revolutionary by dumping ice in a fucking river, same people that think making memes out of racist signs will end racism yall are COWARDS and you’re trying to turn your cowardice into a fucking moral standpoint that if anyone opposes it you’ll be deemed as a fed or infighting
planned parenthood offering laser hair removal which is a really necessary gender aligning procedure for many trans women!
it being introduced alongside botox and fillers and multiple of their clinics suddenly saying that they won't perform abortions on anyone above a certain BMI even though it's against their own internal standards
beyond the reinforcement of beauty standards and body fascism like, idk how many people realize Botox is a specific brand name, and that brand in question has donated over $135,000 USD to Republican politicians in the past year alone. yknow the people that regularly vote to defund planned parenthood.
and another thing but like this is also why all feminists need to be pro fat liberation cuz shit like this puts pregnant fat people's lives at risk, even when they do access abortions they are often referred out to a hospital with a longer wait and a steeper bill, and often denied pain management. these stories coming out from fat women lately tryna access care alongside PP now selling the beauty standard to women feels interconnected and predatory.
I don’t know if anyone will read this… or if my voice will disappear like everything else we lost.

My children are searching for their clothes under the rubble. This is my destroyed home Please help my orphaned children in Palestine. Help them
Help us. Save us. We are slowly dying. 😭💔🙏
I am a mother of five children, and today we are living through one of the most terrifying moments of our lives.
The army has ordered the evacuation of the areas around us. People are running in fear, carrying their children and whatever little they have left. I recorded a video so the world can see the suffering we are going through and the fear surrounding us every second.
We have no money to leave, no safe place to go, and nowhere to protect my children. Every moment feels like danger is getting closer to us. My children are terrified, and I do not know how to keep them safe anymore.
Please, I beg you, help us before it is too late. Help us before we are bombed and disappear like so many others. Any support, donation, or share could save the lives of my children.
Please do not ignore our cries for help.

idk why people are still trying to do "hear me out"s on tumblr
you could talk about wanting to fuck the space needle on here and people would still call you a poser for insisting on fucking "conventionally attractive architecture" as if that's a coherent, easily-recognizable category
new baby has so many wiggles. bug wants to sniff him but to the baby he is large. bug doesn't understand why he spits, hisses, and slaps when he comes close. he has stopped growling though, and they are both very curious about each other through the room divider
my least favorite literary smut turn of phrase is when a guy is like “im gonna ruin this pussy” “im gonna wreck this pussy for anyone else” like stop.. thats not yours…!
