“Joe Biden’s the reason”
Maybe Harris shouldn’t have adopted his platform then.

Some folks just won’t learn.
Man. Take a look at that makeup line. What a weirdo.
Cool. Now what’s he gonna do?
I mean, listen, I put my sweatshop pants on one leg at a time like everyone else, and I still manage to pay attention. I don’t always have the deepest understanding of stuff, but how deep do you have to dig before you understand “I’ll be a dictator on day one” is not ok?
I just don’t understand how these people move through the world. Yes, it’s exhausting to be plugged in, and it’s totally possible to consume too much “news”, but how do people just not think about the wider world? I mean, I’ve got a job and a family, and I somehow manage to also be concerned about current events and global affairs.
I dunno. Maybe I’m the problem. Maybe I am crazy.🤷
I dunno. At least Trump is too fuckin stupid to hide it.
Bro, that’s the fuckin point. The patriarchal nature of our society has done this, not feminism. And since we still live under a largely patriarchal society, men are the ones empowered to do something about it. Should those women individually be better? Yeah, probably. But they’re still not really the ones running the fuckin show.
You want to talk about cleaning up house? Maybe look around at what you can do instead of expecting a group that has been treated as property for the last 1000 years to do the emotional labor that us men have been neglecting in order to spare your feelings.
Maybe you should work on your reading comprehension, because that’s what I and like 4 other commenters have been saying. Then you can go ahead and submit a complaint to the president of feminism, since you seem to think that they’re having a meeting and deciding that you personally aren’t masculine enough for them.
Grow up.
If a woman tells a man to having emotions isn’t manly then they’re not acting as a feminist. That, by definition, is an idea that comes to us from the religious, moral, and civic tradition that produced the modern patriarchy. The people, men and women, who say and do things that reflect and maintain those ideas are failing the ideals of feminism.
To use an analogy, North Korea calls itself a democracy. They do not elect a leader. That doesn’t mean democracy has failed, just that this country is doing anti democratic things.
Bro, you’re almost there…
The amount of times I’ve had to address the “students using litter boxes” schtick is absolutely mind boggling.
It’s always a school two towns over, and it’s always someone who has no attachment to the school attempting to push it.
That’s still patriarchy, my guy. They’ve been raised to be complicit in a system that doesn’t benefit them, and they’re perpetuating it because they don’t like how it feels to step outside of it.
Yup. Like John Green, I’m generally in favor of humans, but we’ve got some perfectly natural tendencies that can really harm others if left unchecked. I think kids want to do good, but they need to be taught how to, given the space to practice, and corrected with grace when they fuck it up.
Yup. The propaganda machine moved quick when they realized this population could be manipulated into action outside of message boards.
Yup. And it’s always women and brown folks.
Yup. Patriarchy did them dirty. Society told them they had to be strong, stoic, and without emotion. And when that butted up against the realities of being a human we didn’t have any community to lead them towards living a good and healthy life.
I’m a classroom teacher, and I find that you’ve gotta sometimes have both “fuck them kids” and “for the kids” in different measures. But overall, I feel like they’re doing a lot of cool things.
Agreed. I’m a teacher and see it in my classrooms. I often feel that they’re not taught how to have healthy community, so they become lil fascists…
Exactly my point.
