N.B. misandry is not real because men are not systemically oppressed (uninternalize your reddit MRA today: men suffer some drawbacks under the patriarchy but ultimately still maintain it due to the large amount of privileges they receive under it!)

    Like it shouldn't take this much for someone to say that a joke is just really uncomfortable to them.

    Nor should I have to go so far to justify a joke to you that is based entirely on my own experiences

      You have to justify the joke because it also reaches into and comments on MY experiences because I'm an AMAB person, Jesus Christ.

      Edit: Like if you made a post like "As a white-passing mixed-race hispanic person I experience reverse racism, prayers in chat" it would be blatantly weird and kind of offensive and/or just outright nonsensical because like, sure, it might technically be true they have privilege, in some circumstances, but 99% of the time I've heard when people attack mixed-race people for being "too white" it's just punching down.

        No, I don't, actually. I never said or implied that I was speaking for every AMAB person. I'm also not Jesus Christ.

        Like if you made a post like "As a white-passing mixed-race hispanic person I experience reverse racism, prayers in chat"

        I support the right of any white-passing Hispanic person to say this lol, and I honestly am not sure what you're trying to get at. What right do you have say this is offensive if that's their experience? What are you policing this hypothetical person for anyway?

        Great article, except I've already read it and it doesn't have anything to do with me. If you want to go tell at some TERFs, go right ahead, they deserve it. But spare me your outrage over me joking about experiencing male privilege
