Yes, itās a guest author post but this really is is one of the best posts on BB that Iāve ever read. I feel Ms Hermanās thoughts shared here deserve an extra spotlight.
And this reply needs all the likes, I feel.
I really donāt want to post on that thread, I canāt add anything of value. But I think here, I can express incomprehension without distracting or highjacking the other thread. Or so I hope.
As a white and extremely privileged European male, I canāt understand how Jackie could say āNoā to the question of she had something to add while someone told her any any other woman, in public, that this was (at least partly) her āchoiceā. I. Canāt. Understand.
Maybe I also just donāt want to.
And maybe thatās because I am a privileged male.
I donāt know. I have so many questions, but I might not even be able to listen to some of the answers.
For using āuniquityā in a sentence:
You people are disappointing meā¦ how can this not have like a million likes?
This needs more likesā¦
Thanks I missed liking one of those.
Really, just go to that thread, and click like on all of @Magdalene posts. There are other good ones, too, but sheās really knocking it out of the park tonight.
That whole threadā¦ just ugh.
Just full of victim blaming and doubling down on itā¦ At this point, Iām not surprised at all by that.
But there are some brilliant and witty responses to that BS.
I <3 @Magdalene!
