Holy shit I did not realise this before. The only way a woman could sleep her way to the top is if the people on the top reward sexual favours more than actual qualifications.
But, y'know, it's her fault...

tbh sometimes u just gotta let me be dramatic. bcos i Will get over it! but let me be dramatic first.
Slurs are not oppressive because they are offensive, they are oppressiveĀ because slurs by nature of being slurs draw upon certain power dynamicsĀ to remind their target of his/her/their vulnerability in a certain relation to power and as an extension of that, to threaten violence and exploitation of that vulnerability.
THANK YOU
I feel like a lot of privileged people see slurs as just, like, bad words. (I know this is how I saw them before they got applied to me). Theyāre words which are impolite or exceedingly rude to use, which are bad because some people donāt like it when you use them. And it just so happens that in the case of slurs, people donāt like them because of their historical context which makes them aĀ āspecialā kind of bad.Ā
Except thatās not it at all.Ā
When someone uses a slur that can be directed at you itās terrifying. Thereās a moment ofĀ āoh god, am I safe?ā. To be part of an oppressed group is to know that there are people out there who can and will hurt you. And when someone uses a slur you are suddenly confronted with the very real possibility that they are one of those people. And you have to ask yourselfĀ āam I safe?ā.Ā
Slurs arenāt bad just because they cause offense, theyāre bad because they create terror. If you wouldnāt casually whip out a knife and brandish it at someone, donāt use slurs either. Because being on the receiving end is a very similar experience.Ā
āKarenā is mocking someoneās power not making reference to their vulnerability on another āaxis.ā
