Hey Lacy I'm a feminist too and I loved your last videos. There are lots of bad, crazy feminist ideas out there but I'm afraid of calling them out bc I don't wanna contribute to all the hate feminism receives. I also feel like I cannot criticize it bc if I do i'm suddenly a shitlord. (1/2)
LORD do i feel that. i can't fault you. stayed quiet myself for a long time. but the way i see it, the witch hunts and censorship and labeling everyone a nazi is actively hurting the causes feminists fight for. like, fucking destroying it. so the silence is more harmful to feminism at this point IMO. my main beef with it comes from the sex ed world. to me, caring about it means speaking up about toxicity within, even though that toxicity will likely turn itself on you. if you do decide to say something: my advice is to be as patient and self aware as you can. stay true to yourself, know what you stand for and who you are, and don't let others bully you into silence on either side. you have a right to your voice and your opinion, always. feminists are allowed to disagree with each other. it doesn't automatically make you and [insert bigotry here]. and of course, remember we are all learning in this process, which means being open to admitting fault if you realize you've caused harm or made a mistake. email me if you need anything babe.
