This is feminist!
This isn’t feminist!
I’m going to talk as though members of the group I’m talking about aren’t reading. Real disabled people don’t use the Internet. And we’re all white here.
I’m not going to listen to the mod.
I think this is a derail.
Stop acting like you’re a moderator and stop policing other people’s blog comments … oh, you wrote this?
How is what I’m saying a derail?
Why isn’t my comment through moderation yet? Why isn’t my comment through moderation yet?
I don’t like your choice. I know it would be easier for my circumstances to choose another way than it would be for you, but even so.
I want to yell at people.
I don’t want to engage with the complexities of your life.
Why are we talking about this on a feminist site?
How is this a feminist issue?
Why isn’t my comment through moderation yet? Why isn’t my comment through moderation yet?
I’m going to talk about my personal, privileged context and not that of the article now. Join me!
But disability is a tragedy. Who would want to bring a disabled child into the world? That’s what abortion’s for!
But I do have an experience analogous to racism, and I should be able to talk about it, even if it means crowding out people who actually experience racism. I mean, I need some space to talk about my experiences as a white person, you know?
Wait, there are people from outside the United States on the Internet?
You’re doing feminism wrong.
You should talk about this. You shouldn’t talk about this.
Not everything can be about your group, you know! Let’s talk about mine.
Let me explain something to you.
I’ve never experienced this so it can’t be.
Respond right now.
I’m leaving.
Get your issues out of my feminism.
Wake up at 4.30 in the morning with a start
terrified that something bad has happened in the Feministe comments.
There are one hundred new comments on the post about popular culture
and none at all on the post about women of colour being shot.
Breathe out.
It’s going to happen again, and again, and again.
