You know what’s funny?
When a woman talks about feminism and misogyny, they’re whiny, or bitches
But when a man talks about it, he’s ‘so sweet’ and ‘a great guy’
When a queer person talks about homophobia or oppression of the lgbtq community, they’re pulling the gay card
But when a straight person talks about homophobia, they’re 'such a good ally’ and a 'kind open minded person’
When a poor person talks about the struggles of being poor, they’re just being bitter and need to work harder
But when a rich person talks about the struggles of being poor, they’re a saint and a wonderful person
You see what I’m getting at here, when an oppressed group speaks out against their oppression they’re demonised for it but when the people outside of the oppressed group speak on behalf of them they’re praised and worshipped for it, the same goes for all oppressed groups, for poc when they’re demonised for speaking out but suddenly when a white person speaks out against racism and they’re treated like a saviour, or trans people, or disabled people.
People don’t like oppressed groups speaking out but they like feeling like the saviours
