margaret atwood: what if white women were treated like cattle whose sole purpose was to breed and had no bodily autonomy

*looks into the camera like I'm in The Office*

hippie white person: the modern school system is like putting a child in a zoo

debbie ann your kin put black children in zoos LITERALLY, so shut the fuck up and think for 3 seconds PLEASE

every time a white person writes something edgy about mistreatment while neglecting to research if it actually happened to people of color

I contemplate throwing a chair.

And I'm not saying there *has* to be romance. I've enjoyed plenty of books without romance at all.

But like, I get so bothered when there's supposed to be a romance between two cishet characters and the girl protagonist is all "I'm afraid he's gonna beat me but I love him so much" and that's portrayed as romantic, or the guy can't stop staring at her boobs and stalking her and he doesn't know an actual thing about her and that is portrayed as romantic

Is this the best yall got? This is #relationshipgoals for you??

Am I just being a prissy, un-cultured, sheltered (black) American???? idk

thoughts?

Sometimes I wonder about how romance is portrayed in literature throughout cultures. Does the concept of romance vary from culture to culture?

I like to diversify my reading so that it's not the same white cishet American dudes, but like, very often the "romance" either:

(1) isn't romantic. It's creepy and borderline abusive; or
(2) isn't present at all. Characters are just lumped together because the writer said so.

Am I making sense? Is this a thing?

White men do that look they always do like "Hmmmm" and keep moving

but white women are always like https://witches.town/media/28bKX62Ku4dofFpl5to

My new favorite thing to do when I'm sitting in my car all by myself is to lock the doors when white people walk by and watch their faces.

It is so weird to me that people sabotage their relationships because someone "puts on weight"

I mean???? So?????

Like yeah, sure, you aren't obligated to being attracted to anyone but like... idk idk it's wild for me to wrap my head around that

Holy fuck this woman is making money off of traumatizing her autistic child

wtf

(These kinds of articles popping up in my face today so the cosmos must be telling me that I need to rescue the children)

Maybe I have reading comprehension issues for English, because I will read some of these takes like 6 or 7 times and still not understand what people are getting at

Maybe this is just me, but do you ever see people having this huge discourse session about something you know well, but for life of you, you cannot comprehend what they're saying

like *truly* understand, because it feels like neither of them are making any points at all, people are jumping in with their takes but there feel like *no* takeaways at all

so you're just watching everyone have discourse about nothing like https://witches.town/media/HFex4Bas_mozpYwShbw

I keep getting lured into this trap with the birdsite where there are all of these great takes from people

and then voila they're retweeting an photo of child being abused for a meme and like

I know people can't be perfect, but how do you talk about feminism and black empowerment and reclaiming yourself after abuse while also using a photo of a child being abused for a meme about Beyonce? Like???? Did you actually think before you RT'd that?

What is it about that site that people just RT without thinking first? (rhetorical question)
