getthebean asked: how did you become so smart? did you go to college? (sorry for the dumb question i'm in high school and thinking about what college to go to. i really look up to you and would like to take a similar program to whatever taught you everything)

Most of what I know about feminism is self taught.  I learned a ton on Tumblr actually, reading the writing of other bloggers.  I especially learned a ton about racism on here, since my experience has obviously been very limited as a white girl with only a handful of PoC friends growing up in a fairly segregated city.  I also knew virtually nothing about genders outside the cis binary before joining this site.
I did go to college but I only took three social-justice related classes.  My internships were never initially social justice-focused but they ended up that way, so I learned a ton through my volunteer and intern experiences too.  But you don’t have to go to college to be smart!!  And graduating from college doesn’t mean you are smart!!  Just a reminder.  George W. Bush graduated from Yale ;)

Good god some HUGE dumbasses replied to this. x-x ugh. I guess learning through experience via your volunteer work and intern experiences just aren’t good enough! If you learn anything from tumblr you are automatically dumb.

Attention Shitlords!

Friendly reminder that what us social justice warriors are doing is volunteer work. Cause, you know, it’s not our job to educate you and shit, we just do it cause we’re nice people.
