#askafeminist @amandamarcotte @jillFillipovic DO you actually care for women?

Does the health or triggering of anyone else matter to you at all?

Because I find it strange that in this suddenly health becomes a HUGE DEAL. Transformation is a huge deal.

People have threads , when I was dealings ith my mother’s MS, and unemployment and cancer scares.

When BFP was dealings with her health issues

When your fellow feminists were handing out death threats.

When your co writers came tow here I was to threaten me.

And no one had a care for my health then.

I was a young woman .

I actually still am.

I mean you mention hoards and the like and this business and most often women who head it up are YOUNGER than I am.

You have deep confessions to trauma in your comments that you don’t mention ( but have plenty of time for link farms and wamprom photos)

You ever gonna address the abuse I and SO MANY WOMEN experience in your name ?

or is that really acceptable collateral till someone gets you unbooked from somewhere

It’s acceptable collateral even then.

I’m not going to repeat the nauseating (and I mean that literally) conversations I have tried to have with white feminists about this, but their halves of them amount to “lol don’t be silly they’re overreacting it is just internet.” And YES the term “lol” is actually used and no, it is not used ironically.

Well:

If it’s not “just internet” when you’re announcing your television appearances and people react to that news with anything less than ecstasy; and it’s not “just internet” when you’re siccing predatory, abusive creeps on the same women you crib from and people recoil in horror from you; and it’s not “just internet” when people notice that you seem to be fine with continuing to grant that predatory, abusive creep a place at your nasty mildewed table and have the nerve to ask you what the everloving fuck is up with that—

I mean whenever this post goes around I am struck again by the truth of it. The disconnect between their health and yours isn’t possible without some seriously fucked-up, nonfiring recognition-of-humanity circuits, and that’s something THEY need to get the tools out to fix and repair, not something you or anyone else should suffer for.

But having seen them stand there in front of a dozen deluxe Craftsman toolkits wailing “I don’t know what to dooooo, this is so harrrrrd,” I am not holding my breath that repairs will be made.
