the brilliant thing about being a woman is that I’m punished for both trusting and distrusting men!
I should magically know which man is going to harm me by having a brief conversation with him. if I trust Bad Men, then, well. I should’ve known.
if I don’t trust Nice Men though, I’m an utter bitch who deserves violence. don’t I know most men are good people?
daenerys and the slave cities
what cracks me up about people ripping on dany for her scenes in 3x07 is that she literally just walked up to yunkai and said, “if you free your slaves i’ll walk on by, but if you don’t i’ll kill you”
she didn’t roll on in and declare herself ruler of yunkai
she doesn’t give a shit about yunkai
it’s a dot on a map to her
what matters are the 200,000 dots with slave collars inside the city
dany would be perfectly content to leave the city be if the people there were all free
#if you’re going to criticize dany at least do it correctly #criticize her for having a naive and privileged attitude towards the underclass she’s ‘freeing’ #criticize her for her white savior complex #criticize her for trying to make social change without stopping to consider the social upheaval #but don’t accuse her of being a child tyrant bully on the playground because her name is not joffrey baratheon
White logic
-abducts you from Africa; tells you to go back to where you came from
-makes every effort to keep you poor; calls you lazy
-calls you dumb; uses your language, music, clothing, and inventions
-doesn’t like black girls/guys; rages when a black person doesn’t like white girls/guys
-is middle class Joe Schmoe; considers self to be above the president of the United States
-hates the word “nigga;” feels its necessary to be able to say the word “nigga”
-hates affirmative action because “people have to earn things;” sitting in a 10k a year private high school paid for by parents
-calls self an ally; tells everyone what to do
-two black people in the class; thinks the class is diverse
-wears snap-backs, sags pants, loves rap, refers to self as having swag; hates black people
-refuses to acknowledge the difference between Chinese/Japanese/Korean; says they are Irish/Scottish/German/French and gets upset when told that they are just white
-sees a tan white girl in an ad; complains that beauty standards favour POC
-claims they just want to grab an Asian and put them in pocket because of “cuteness;” rails against being objectified
-talks about sexism and oppression constantly; complains when someone talks about racism
-is a straight middle class white person; considers self expert on racism and oppression
-says racist, sexist, homophobic, ableist shit in the name of free speech; has a meltdown and tries to verbally police you when you criticize beloved fandom
