Fuck Yeah! Feminism

It’s like when people say, “If you’re supposed to be tolerant of everyone, shouldn’t you be tolerant of my misogynistic, ignorant beliefs based on paternalism and my own sense of smug superiority?”

Welcome to the reproductive rights debate, where we discuss reproductive choices. Pull up a chair. I can tell it’s going to be a long night.

Every damn time.

Hey, how about this.  (Warning: This might be too revolutionary for narrow-minded thinking.)  Let’s just show respect to everyone and not hate any other human being for his or her personal beliefs!  

There’s a difference between “hating” and legitimate criticism, but some people prefer to label any criticism as “hating” so they don’t have to question their beliefs.

And oh, if only they were just their personal beliefs! Too bad those beliefs translate into actions, such as shaming, spreading misinformation and lies, voting, protesting, signing petitions and joining activist groups. See, then those actions aren’t just *personal beliefs* (as if those were immune from criticism in the first place), but actively oppressive actions in the name of your own personal morality.

I’m not going to respect anyone who doesn’t respect me, my privacy, and my right to my own body. You get what you give.

Emphasis mine.

Love,

Rabble
