âNot all conservative Christians are like that.â
If youâre a senior in high school, and your freshman little sister comes up to you with bloody scraped knees and tears all over her face crying, âI hate seniors! They always bully me!â you donât stand there and lecture her on why she shouldnât label all seniors as bullies.
You donât fucking do that shit.
You say, âDonât worry. Iâll make sure those seniors donât pick on you.â
You take responsibility for protecting her.
Because sheâs your little sister. And she canât fight bullies on her own.
Thatâs how privilege fucking works. Women, gay people, black people, trans people, Muslims, every single minority in the United Statesâtheyâre the little sisters getting beat up by your fellow upperclassmen. You donât make it their responsibility. YOU TAKE IT UPON YOURSELF TO HELP THEM.
