172. "We will be your allies only if you express your anger the way we want you to show your anger."

Sun May 8, 2022, 08:41 AM

May 2022

Be an ally in this or don't. That's your moral decision.

It has nothing to do with how I express my anger at men telling me how to feel when I am made into chattel, when they have no idea what that feels like. Which is what you are doing.

By the way, I guarantee that 95% of the men doing that are white. Meaning, men who have NEVER had a right taken away.
