    Part of being Privileged is not having to think about being Privileged

    Because as a women what someone thinks is apart of everyday sexism against my sex. Like Mystic said most of the time what someone says and thinks about a particular group does not exist in a vacuum. I have been told I am boring, I am weird, I am naive, none of those things offend me.

    Part of being Privileged is not having to think about being Privileged

    I have tried to suppress feeling offended over sexist comments, but that only allows it to manifest and hit me a couple of days later, so instead of accepting how I feel, suppressing it just further punishes me.

    Part of being Privileged is not having to think about being Privileged

    Sometimes people are not simply "idiots" Sometimes people are in denial or calculated, sometimes people know exactly what they are doing.

    Part of being Privileged is not having to think about being Privileged

    Or they may both be offended? Or you can get 5 people, 10 people, 20 people and they may all be offended if they are being targeted for racism, sexism or homophobia, but that is not the point. The point is I don't agree that most people enjoy being offended. And I don't agree that being offended...

    Part of being Privileged is not having to think about being Privileged

    I would be OFFENDED if a guy sexual harassed me and also scared. I never said all people of colour are offended by the same things I am, but I also don't put blame and responsibility on an oppressed group for being offended by something that oppresses them.

    Part of being Privileged is not having to think about being Privileged

    I will explain myself, when you belong to a group that has a long history of oppression, what people say affects you, because you have been facing the same prejudice all your life, telling them that they ENJOY being a victim is just sick, and sounds like it comes from a place of privilege. If a...

    Yeah you are right I don't get, sounds like a white, cis, straight, male proverb.

    Would you date an underweight woman or man?

    I don't see much difference between the size 8 and 12, to be honest, are these women a bit photoshopped?

    Pretty sick right!? Since when is the victim worse then the perpetrator? Anyway I've already said what I think about this.

    Yes! I agree with this. I like the spelling "Amerikans" by the way (for the fake Americans) :D

    Meaning or Happiness? Which Would You Pick?

    I will be brave and chose meaning, because I don't understand how I could go on just living for myself.

    Part of being Privileged is not having to think about being Privileged

    The thing is, why is it so terrible to admit you are a victim of something? It's like if someone talks about being victimised, they are just revelling in their victimisation and enjoying the drama and attention and obviously there is something more wrong with them than the perpetrator. It's...

    how long do you think humans have been on earth?

    It is rare to have complex life anyway, majority of life is made up of microorganisms, so I can see how it would be even more rare to have another species very similar to homo sapiens? That is only my guess by the way.

    Seeing That Women Can Go Topless Now Do You Suppose A Lot More Rapes Will Happen?

    Apparently my opinion that men are not an oppressed group is worse then someone thinking that rape victims are stupid. My opinion does not effect men's everyday lives but that kind of attitude about rape victims effects women's everyday lives-big difference.

    Seeing That Women Can Go Topless Now Do You Suppose A Lot More Rapes Will Happen?

    The person I'm talking about has been diagnosed and treated for PTSD over the years, she still can not go more then 15mins outside by herself without having a panic attack and even then she sometimes has to be on the phone to someone.
