white cis-het males have a problem with social justice because it is the only place where their voices do not matter most
what you said was: "i don't respect women who don't respect themselves"
what you said was: "i don't respect women who don't respect themselves"what you meant was: "i and society as a whole hold women up to ridiculous respectability standards directly relating to the "purity" of said women while hypersexualizing them at the same time and if you are a woman and don't fit my awkward monolith of criteria then i refuse to acknowledge your humanity"
what i heard was: "hi i'm a misogynist piece of shit, please punch me in my face"

"He showed the words 'chocolate cake' to a group of Americans and recorded their word associations. "Guilt" was the top response.

owl-in-the-tardis: marfmellow: The first thing you really need...
The first thing you really need to understand is that the definition of racism that you probably have (which is the colloquial definition: "racism is prejudice against someone based on their skin color or ethnicity") is NOT the definition that's commonly used in anti-racist circles.
The definition used in anti-racist circles is the accepted sociological definition (which is commonly used in academic research, and has been used for more than a decade now): "racism is prejudice plus power". What this means, in easy language:
A. Anyone can hold "racial prejudice" — that is, they can carry positive or negative stereotypes of others based on racial characteristics. For example, a white person thinking all Asians are smart, or all black people are criminals; or a Chinese person thinking Japanese people are untrustworthy; or what-have-you. ANYONE, of any race, can have racial prejudices.
B. People of any race can commit acts of violence, mistreatment, ostracizing, etc., based on their racial prejudices. A black kid can beat up a white kid because he doesn't like white kids. An Indian person can refuse to associate with Asians. Whatever, you get the idea.
C. However, to be racist (rather than simply prejudiced) requires havinginstitutional power. In North America, white people have the institutional power. In large part we head the corporations; we make up the largest proportion of lawmakers and judges; we have the money; we make the decisions. In short, we control the systems that matter. "White" is presented as normal, the default. Because we have institutional power, when we think differently about people based on their race or act on our racial prejudices, we are being racist. Only white people can be racist, because only white people have institutional power.D. People of color can be prejudiced, but they cannot be racist, because they don't have the institutional power. (However, some people refer to intra-PoC prejudice as "lateral racism". You may also hear the term "colorism", which refers to lighter-skinned PoC being prejudiced toward darker-skinned PoC.) However, that situation can be different in other countries; for example, a Japanese person in Japan can be racist against others, because the Japanese have the institutional power there. But in North America, Japanese peoplecan't be racist because they don't hold the institutional power.
E. If you're in an area of your city/state/province that is predominantly populated by PoC and, as a white person, you get harassed because of your skin color, it's still not racism, even though you're in a PoC-dominated area. The fact is, even though they're the majority population in that area, they still lack the institutional power. They don't have their own special PoC-dominated police force for that area. They don't have their own special PoC-dominated courts in that area. The state/province and national media are still not dominated by PoC. Even though they have a large population in that particular area, they still lack the institutional power overall.
F. So that's the definition of racism that you're likely to encounter. If you start talking about "reverse racism" you're going to either get insulted or laughed at, because it isn't possible under that definition; PoC don't have the power in North America, so by definition, they can't be racist. Crying "reverse racism!" is like waving a Clueless White Person Badge around.
Who benefits off my low self-esteem?
Certainly not me, because it leaves me in a constant foul mood.
Not my friends, because it makes them insecure to compliment me and
eventually are driven away by my negativity.
Who benefits?
The creator of the skin-whitener,
Who promises me more privilege with each use.
The pharmaceutical executive who creates pills,
Assuring me happiness.
The diet-pill maker,
Who makes a profit at me hating my belly rolls.
Who benefits off my low self-esteem?
The media executive who only cares about the bottom line,
The advertiser whose only concern is to make their clients happy.
When I ditch the diet pills and discard the beauty creams,
I decrease their revenue,
I hurt their bottom line.
Every time I feel bad about myself,
And look for happiness on a shelf,
I always ask-
Who is benefiting?
This is beautiful, and a really good question. Who profits from your unhappiness?

Who even wants flies?
So awesome blogger marfmellow just got an anon that stated,
You're an incredibly rude and unpleasant person… You will catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
To which she replied,
I don't want to catch flies?
And really, that's a good fucking point.
Why would marfmellow, or anyone for that matter, give a shit about someone who is nothing more than a pest?
Who WANTS flies?
You're the ones buzzing around people whether they invite you or not. No matter how nice someone is, there are always going to be "flies" who land out of nowhere and shit all over everything.
Maybe people use vinegar because they don't want asshole flies all over their space.
Maybe the problem isn't whether someone uses honey or vinegar.
Maybe the problem is the incessant infestation of vile insects that causes people to use vinegar in the first place.
Catch more flies with honey? Sounds more like "appease complete assholes by being nice to them while they are oppressive jerks to you".
I don't fucking think so.
relevant to all the tone policing questions we get.

"'Politically correct' is just a term assholes came up with so they can dismiss people who have the nerve to want to be respected. Demanding not to be stereotyped is not political correctness, it's a human right, and you are not some hero for refusing to respect people's right to be treated like humans."-

Mr. Ramsey is a hero! He stepped up and did what needed to be done. Making fun of him is pretty freakin awful and certainly disrespectful. This guy needs a medal for heroism, not some humiliating meme.

Claims of 'Post-Racial' Society and Other Denials of Racism May Reflect Ignorance of History
Claims of 'Post-Racial' Society and Other Denials of Racism May Reflect Ignorance of History:New research suggests that commonly observed differences in how groups perceive racism may be explained by ignorance about — and even denial of — the extent of racism over the course of history.
