Never fucking fails: any time you talk about a harasser, an abusive boss, a toxic coworker, etc. a man will show up to try to shut down the conversation by claiming said person is a good person because they were nice to HIM.

hating cats continues to be an excellent sign that a man has issues around boundaries and consent (because this is Twitter: there’s a difference between not wanting a particular type of pet and actively hating it)

Thinking abt people doubling down when told they said racist/misogynist/homophobic/otherwise problematic.

Wonder if people from across the political, orientation, & gender spectrums all get mad at ace people for existing bc our existence challenges the idea that sexuality is inherent to humanity & that idea is their bulwark vs inherited Puritan shame.

People's incredulous indignation at the idea of Jessica Rabbit as asexual says SOOOOO much about the way our culture views women.

Reminder: If someone responds to your lack of "respect" with violence (whether physical or verbal), there's a 99% chance they meant "submissiveness" rather than "respect."
Toxic-masculine men love to play on the double-meaning of "respect":

Let's talk about "objectivity" & "neutrality" &the status quo for a moment. If you've been following me for a while, you've heard this, but.
People who don't want the status quo to change paint it not changing as the default, natural position.
