eightyprovinces asked: I'm trying to use my privledge to better others. I hate seeing others oppressed and it hurts me that so few cishet men give a crap.

Answer:

You are literally not doing anything to help anyone by asking offensive and inappropriate questions to an oppressed person.  You are questioning undeniable evidence of systemic oppression in a country that is right at this moment literally beating the shit out of its citizens.  You are arguing pointlessly and without having done due diligence to a woman who is at this moment under an intense amount of stress due to that same oppression.

IT IS NOT THE OPPRESSED’S JOB TO EDUCATE THE OPPRESSORS.  Sending asks and arguing with an oppressed person like this, with zero tact, and no understanding is offensive as fuck.  You need to do this on your own, by googling, silently reading and contemplating works by oppressed people without butting in, and absorbing as much media as possible.  Visit the links at fuckyeahcracker’s Tumblr.  See what disabled people are talking about.  Read news reports and personal accounts of the struggles of the First Nations peoples.  But don’t come on here expecting an education and a cookie.
