This is basically exactly the opposite of what he says. I mean, that’s far closer to what many feminists say, and the whole ‘clean your room’ idea is an argument against the idea that you should look to change society before you change yourself.

Step 1: Start with a basic no-nonsense idea: clean yourself.

Agreed.

Picard was all about RESIST, before RESIST was even a thing.
Don’t let the fuckers gaslight you into submission.

I love how in that episode he seemed on the brink of giving in, when he got released. Patrick Stewart is just an amazing actor.

Jeesh… 4/5 of the way through this collection of, mostly, cheap shots, before coming across something actually worth reading… tl;dr, indeed.

Thank you, jsroberts, for improving the conversation.
