mcflynn: ellenbee: mcflynn: laughterkey: Love. I keep seeing this, and while I guess I agree that yeah, people like that are probably not good partners, this rubs me the wrong way. Seems like some dude taking it upon himself to explain to women how they’re fucking up? I found myself thinking a bunch about this while making dinner.* I dunno, maybe I’m off base and this guy is wonderful. But I get the same general vibe from this as I do the doofus with the “women you’re all beautiful don’t wear so much make up” or whatever sign. — * the dinner turned out poorly, too. The pesto I got from Dave’s tasted a bit off and was gritty. I should go back to making my own as a general rule. this dude is a really good/popular young adult author and i personally think it’s kind of great because it’s targeted at pre-/teenage ladies who ask him sincere questions such as “should i act dumb so my boyfriend likes me better?” and i like that he gets angry about it. would i like it better if it came from a lady? duh Good to know. I know nothing of this/him aside from these 6 images. So I didn’t know if this was just an unprovoked thing or what. This right here is why I’m kind of done with Tumblr: emotionally. I still post a fair amount, as you might notice. But the ease at which peoples comments are misconstrued feels suffocating. On the internet, people read into things the way they want to, and though thinking critically about privilege, gender, race, class, all these sorts of things is definitely rad, and to be celebrated, I am just really really really sick of having those conversations online. No one is humanized through a screen name, internet handle, or even facebook account, and it’s actually incredibly difficult to fully see where people are coming from through emotionless pictures, gifs, and walls of text.I’m not saying there’s not a place for it, I’m simply saying I’m burnt out and don’t wanna do it anymore.John Green rulez. -- source link
