sex buyers: she acted like this was her job… she didnt even pretend to like when i penetrated her. not a good experience. for me

prostitution websites: called buyme.com advertising 18-year olds as „innocent and unexperienced“

people make fun of the "oh you only hate her because she's a WOMAN" crazy feminist mentality but yeah actually you guys do only hate her because she's a woman a lot of times. for every hated female tv character there's ten male tv characters who are a million times worse and still given at least the "intriguing morally grey character" treatment if not straight up praise. for every hated female celebrity in real life there's one hundred famous men who have done worse and don't get half the hate she does.

why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

Hello fellow disabled people of tumblr. I know that 2010s-2020s culture has turned against the notion of asking to speak to a manager. I know that “can I speak to a manager” is the mark of the beast.

And yet. If someone at the front desk is telling you they can’t unlock the elevator. If you get a ticket for parking in a handicapped spot when you have the dmv card. If the door to the big stall won’t close and you’re telling the front desk about it for the third time in as many weeks. If the bus driver won’t give you time to put on your breaks and secure your wheelchair

Ask to speak to their supervisor. Mention he ADA. Drop a reference to “my lawyer.” Make a nuisance of yourself. You have to get used to taking up more space, and that doesn’t just mean physical space. You have rights. You deserve access. You don’t have to just take it to be polite.

You’re allowed to ask to speak to the manager.

I work HR and something that I have found very effective in getting corporations to take you seriously is phrases like "my associates" "my counsel" "I've been advised" etc.

Always, always pretend like you have lawyers at the ready. They don't know who you are. They don't know if you have a rich family member. From now on, you always have legal counsel on retainer.

A "Karen" is someone weaponizing white privilege to get things they are not entitled to. You advocating for your rights as a person is not Karening. Be a fucking nuisance. You deserve to exist like anyone else.

My mother learned early that she would have to defend us. I remember when I was little, our (horrifically shitty) dentist had to drill and fill a cavity for my brother. The dentist didn't use any novacaine or numbing agent or anything. My brother was white as a sheet (he was always a brave boy) and when Mom managed to pry out of him what had happened, she went OFF on that dentist. She didn't yell and scream and cry; she was methodical, articulate, and her voice rose gradually in pitch and volume.

I was in awe.

I've seen her use this ability for good purposes: pointing out the ways that my catholic elementary school was failing to educate, complaining about the abuse, and making it very clear that she would NOT be paying tuition for me or either of my brothers.

Thing is, because she was loud about it, and called them on their bullshit, *other parents* came forward and told their stories, too. The school board fired the principal, my kindergarten and 3rd grade teachers, and the 8th grade teacher. My 1st grade teacher was gently asked to retire, which was long overdue at 76 years old.

If my mom hadn't said something, if she'd just knuckled under and discreetly removed us from the school, so many more kids would have been mistreated and abused.

I also have this power. There are two reasons why I ask to speak to a manager:

  1. There's a Fucking Problem. If it's *my* problem, I try to be kind, and ask for help. If the problem is their problem, I start civil, but if need be, I will use The Dom Voice like a godforsaken Bene Gesserit Witch. "You need to train your people better/ solve this issue/ provide more information."
  2. There's a Fucking Miracle. I call for managers to tell them when an employee impressed me. "This person was incredible, and absolutely made my day." Don't be afraid to do this; people working in the service industry are vital, overworked and woefully underpaid. Telling the manager when someone dies their job well could influence their next raise.

You're not "A Karen" for asking to talk to the manager.
