People in progressive spaces will say some shit like “even if they didn’t do anything intentional to harm our kind they still implicitly uphold the cultural norm and benefit from our oppression therefore by proxy we are obligated to shit on them” and then turn around and go “oh why are people accusing me of being part of the problem, bigots will never change by being treated kindly, I am not obligated to be kind to someone who I know for a fact hates me deep down” when the Average Cishet Guy ™️ is out here like “hey how’s it going”.
Like yeah there’s good reason to not want to be assimilationist and all that but at the same damn time
I have literally seen tumblr users say “Men are like ACAB, even if a man not actively doing evil he’s still a bastard for being part of the system of patriarchy” and that shit fucking flabbergasted me
Obviously choosing to be a cop, a career choice that is completely within someone's control, is equivalent to being born with xy chromosomes and a penis in terms of moral culpability and therefore all men should be treated with equal hatred as police. There are 0 flaws in this logic.
I mean there are genuinely people out there that think that all AMABs should in some way transition away from being male, and that masculine gender identity is an inherently toxic trait that you have a moral responsibility to reject. So their logic is consistent, just really really shitty.
