Oh!!!!! The Women’s March was stupid because you, personally, have not felt oppressed — so it’s obviously just a fake problem made up by whiny millennial babies having a tantrum because we are sore losers?
Cool.
But guess what?
I don’t know anyone killed by a drunk driver, so that must also be a fake problem.
I’ve never seen a wombat, so sorry wombats, you’re no longer real.
I personally have never had a heart attack–so it’s obviously just a “problem” made up by whiny baby-boomers who just don’t understand how much worse other people’s cardiac episodes are.
None of my parents have died–so great news–nobody else’s have either!!!!
But do you what I have experienced? In more than one job, I’ve been sexually harassed. In my 35 years I have had my “no” ignored violently — more than once. I have been groped in public places without my consent more times than I can count, many before I was a fucking adult. And now I’m a financially stable, white, married, privileged woman. So I cannot begin to imagine the disregard and disrespect and fear that women of color, transwomen, and/or socioeconomically disadvantaged women feel on a daily basis.
So good for you. I’m glad you felt like this was #notmymarch. I wish more of us felt as safe as you do.
But *I* marched for you anyway, regardless of the fact that you would not march for me.
Just because it’s not YOUR problem doesn’t mean it’s not a real problem.
