Anonymous: How is any of that releveant to you? I understand you're a feminist and I respect your feelings but I don't really think you have any of that to particularley worry about. WHat adversity do you go through daily? Or is it just that you read it and it bothers you like you went through it?

I don’t really think it’s about adversity, per say. I’m incredibly privileged and I recognize that. But, it spoke to me because I constantly feel pressured to keep my mouth shut when I find something offensive or upsetting. I get told that I’m up tight and humorless and have even had someone delete me from all social networking outlets because I commented about items that were insensitive to African Americans and people affected by HIV/AIDS. I get it, but it’s exhausting to feel like a hypocrite if I don’t speak up and to be a social pariah if I do.

I’ve never had to face discrimination beyond the occasional piggish comments from men, but I know people who have and I’ve seen how deeply affected they have been and I can’t let hateful/rude comments go unchecked when I know that they could very easily hurt someone I love and for that reason, I’m a humorless bitch that gets off on correcting people. I reblogged that post because some days I just wish stuff didn’t bother me. If you want to go un-anon, I’d be glad to talk to you further if you have any more questions because I really, really don’t want to seem like I’m whining about my oppression or anything.
