Well, there goes my blood pressure.

That first link is pretty much the OPPOSITE of anti-oppression. It's accusing people who fuss about prejudice about being on a witchhunt and searching for any opponent. I don't know if you're trying ot do both sides, but if you are I think it would be better to mark things such as this.

[lisaquestions]

I agree with this - enough of the links are downright negative and nasty about anti-oppression, and while I'm casually flipping from one to the next, walking into the bingo cards (like the gaiaonline forum thread) without warning is a bit of a shock.

[lady_ganesh]

On the upside, the next time I need to demonstrate 'mansplaining,' nq3x's comments are a handy guide.

[dharma_slut]

LOL!

All I could do was say "Okay, thank you."

because there are times when it's worth arguing, and times when it just. Is. NOT.

[lady_ganesh]

I admire anyone who even waded in there. OP seems to be getting it a bit more by the end (at least when I read last), so that's...something? I guess?

[ellid]

Actually, I don't think Kass *does* get it. She seems to be comparing her own existential alienation to dealing with racism on a daily basis. Very, very unfortunate on her part.

[lady_ganesh]

Huh.

[elf]

Yes, we're trying to collect everything. It's harder to fight oppression without knowing who thinks it's not important, and why.

And yes, I should've warned for that one; sorry. Will edit.

[softestbullet]

Thank you for the warning.

Just... wow. :(

[shemale]

Oh man, some of these, just, D:

[lisaquestions]

I know, right? D:

If this was trans stuff, I'd just shut the browser window and get drunk.

Heck, even though it doesn't affect me personally, it's still D: forever.
