Is that really too much to ask?
No worries, though, ‘cause I’m pro at being the meanest bitch you’ve ever met. :)
((EDIT: Sorry this is so gendered. I know not only cis- or trans- women have had to deal with this, I just really wanted to lay out that this doesn’t affect cis-males in the same way. Gotta work on staying gender-neutral for those who don’t identify as women but relate.))
Okay, bare with me guys. This is going to come out really long and probably not very well organized.
A few days ago, a conversation went down on feministdisney’s blog on complimenting women on the streets, women you don’t know. Many people went, “But it makes people feel better! What’s the harm in giving women an ego boost?” This really bothered me how people were getting all offended that this might actually be more damaging than helpful, and I wanted to lay out a few problems I saw with this.
