As an undiagnosed but probably autistic and adhd adult I have always found socializing hard. I don’t get the “understood” stuff that some people were either taught or just pick up somehow, so I had to deliberately learn what I know.
Who wants to talk about socializing and networks?

“I enjoyed this thing!” “Look at this adorable puppy!” “I have just eaten an amazing food!” “Holy crap, look at this view!” is all completely bog-standard normal stuff that people talk about on social media. They’re not meaningless platitudes, they’re part of how people interact with each other.

And as Elon Musk has seen fit to demonstrate, you can absolutely be at the same time the world’s richest man, as well as the world’s trashiest embarrassment.

Think of all the derogatory terms for standing up for a woman - being whipped, white knighting, “bros before hoes”, violating man law - it’s all terms designed to promote conformance to the culture and swiftly punish and emasculate any man who takes a woman’s side.

This is how rape culture and a patriarchy works. The loudest, most extroverted men get deference from the ones who prefer to avoid conflict and want to stay in the good graces of the bully. And the consequence is whatever the bullies want to do to women, it’s allowed through complicit silence.

Anyone rational should feel much, much safer around trans women, who are themselves targeted for violence at horrific rates, than we would around cis men wearing suits and Rolexes.

This thread. I think it's incredibly important to remember that the TERF fragility/rabidity started to take off right around the height of me too, and the main message they had was "men are inherently violent."
They targeted trans WOMEN, while at the same time excusing actual violence from cis men.

MeToo was intentionally co-opted by the type of 'feminist' that berates and abuses people for not conforming to gender, while insisting that a uterus makes a woman...

Fuck you. It was a temporary moment in time when people decided, for the first time, that 20 women were finally equal to one man.
