Just a small frustration...
14 years ago
Try to keep my personal thoughts to myself here, but ugh.
Attempting to explain to someone about the whole idea of privilege is really, really frustrating, especially if they don't want to take it seriously.
*has a gigantic headache from it all* For someone who strives to recognize their privilege every day, it's very annoying to hear, "LOL I HAVE WHITE PRIVILEGE, U GAIZ, I'M SO MEAN." Especially from a friend. (Who then follows it with tall privilege and women privilege, which just makes me want to go 8| and smack them for it.)
And for those wondering, the 'women privilege' a woman can have, is when she's FAAB and identifies as female for the rest of her life. It's called cissexual privilege.
It's just...ugh. I don't know. I tend to take things like this pretty seriously, and there's days when it rather hurts when someone makes fun of something you try to keep in mind all the fucking time. It'd be like...I dunno, me as an atheist mocking someone who believed in God/Jesus Christ. You know what I mean?
I dunno. Just irritated with this. :/ One of the days when I wish I wasn't such an activist.
