you are tired by ee cummings

You are tired  (I think) Of the always puzzle of living and doing; And so am I. Come with me then  And we'll leave it far and far away- (Only you and I understand!) You have played  (I think) And broke the toys you were fondest of  And are a little tired now; Tired of things that break and- Just tired. So am I. But I come with a dream in my eyes tonight  And knock with a rose at the hopeless gate of your heart- Open to me! For I will show you the places Nobody knows  And if you like  The perfect places of Sleep. Ah come with me! I'll blow you that wonderful bubble the moon  That floats forever and a day; I'll sing you the jacinth song Of the probable stars; I will attempt the unstartled steppes of dream  Until I find the Only Flower  Which shall keep (I think) your little heart While the moon comes out of the sea.

Is the idea that feelings are not enough, that they will fail us if we rely on them too exclusively (for ethical decisions) or milk their excessive impact too shamelessly (for aesthetic value)? Or is the idea that our language is often not enough for feelings themselves, that sentimentality forces them into artificial vessels or cheap bulk-good volumes?

It’s not just bros and jocks and finance dudes and yuppies and Christians and Republicans who are shitty to women. Being part of a counter-cultural or progressive community does not give you a free pass to be shitty to women without being called out on it. We need to hold our own communities to an even higher standard than we hold those in the opposition, we need to welcome criticism, and we to realize that the ones who call out shitty behavior in these communities are not the threat, but that those who protect it and shield it from criticism are.

Robyn Pennacchia, "On sexism, sexual assault, and the threat of the 'non-bro'"

I've heard sexist behavior defended explicitly with "I was raised by a single mother," "I went to a liberal arts college," "I work in social justice," "I'm gay," and implicitly with "I'm not wealthy," "I ride a bike," and "I'm a Democrat." 

None of these things are mutually exclusive with sexist behavior. You get no pass.
