Ugh, is this another one of those language police bullshit gotchyas the left has come up with? I’m as left as it comes, but some of the shit on “our side” really is nutty.
If somone is talking about a woman, trying to convey they they are special and also mean something else to someone else, trying to get those who treat women poorly to sympathize, and get them to reflect on their beliefs, then that’s a good thing.
Not everything in life is a fucking gotchya game, next it’ll be did you call her “someone”?!!? What if she feels like more than one person you bigot!!!
Give it a rest with this bullshit, because it detracts from the real issues women are facing. And when the right sees shit like this it makes it easy to just tune out all the real issues we need to address.
It feels uncomfortable constantly hearing people justify your value based on your relation to men. I know it doesn’t specify men, but let’s be honest, that’s what everyone thinks of. If you have good intentions, that’s good, but that doesn’t stop the implication that women are only valuable as they relate to men. Intentions do not factor into someone’s frustration hearing it for the millionth damn time! Until that phrase gets reclaimed, it’s gonna have that patriarchal association to most people.
