Feminist propaganda!”1. If a guy shot a stranger on the street, and then found out the victim was suicidal, the takeaway isn’t “it’s all good, that behavior was cool.” If you do something shitty and the other person forgives you, great, but that doesn’t make the initial act un-shitty, it makes the forgiver cool.2. Go look in the mirror and repeat three times, “I am arguing for the right of men to grab strangers on the street and forcibly make out with them.”Then follow that up with 10 “What have I become?”sRepeat as needed.Reblogging to share the note I just added ^^^^^ -- source link
