seen this post elsewhere? click for explanationThis post got banned from !memes@lemmy.world for reason “Troll Posting” which is Very Disrespectful in my opinion. 😕

I mean this meme with full respect and love to my fellow community members and I was proud of the discussion and support it was creating.

EDIT: POST RESTORED YAY. (Thank you to the mods it turned out to be a misunderstanding.)

Important clarification/FAQI am not calling to coddle or excuse the behavior of bigoted men in any way!

I am calling to be kind and understanding to young men (often ages 10-20) who are very manipulable and succeptible to the massive anti feminist propaganda machine. Hope this clarifies that very important distinction. :)

Very good comments that express key points:

Since discovering I'm trans I've shaken myself out of this hardcore "rational" mindset that I feel is poisoning the internet.

It's the moderate point of view that the marginalized needs to remain "civil" and shouldn't get overly emotional or say anything hyperbolic.

Every statement needs to be followed with multiple asterisks responding to every possible angle of your statement. All until everything boils down to tepid "bad things are bad" statements, or writing things off as "case by case".

It's this hyperdrive to remain unbiased to the point that taking any stance reveals your biased and you lose.

Our ability to sit around and debate all day like greek philosophers is a recent luxury that's drying up. We need to commit to action, and action requires strong emotional stances by the marginalized.
