GingerAntics This chapter has just confirmed for me that we need to stop believing white men - the richer, the less creditable… also, himpathy is my new favourite word!!! 2w

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics I feel himpathy is a. brilliant word …… ALSO white men- They know they cannot be in power unless they take everyone else‘s power away. So that‘s their daily task. 2w

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie right?! And they assume everyone else is going to treat them as crappy as they‘ve treated everyone else all this time. It‘s a confession. They know how crappy they‘ve been. 2w

I am so sorry. It‘s been a crazy weekend.
Do all lives matter?

GingerAntics In reality, yes. Socially, no. It‘s why we have to say “Black Lives Matter” in the first place! 3w

TheBookHippie Right?!?!?! the “not all men” makes me vomit. Yes. Men. Most of them. Almost all. So sit down. 3w

Eggbeater All lives aren't currently being treated by society as though they matter. But if you're a rich, white billionaire with a penis, you just hit the jackpot. 3w

TheBookHippie @Eggbeater 💯💯💯💯💯 3w

Deblovestoread @Eggbeater Got it in one 🎯 3w

Amiable All lives should matter. But they don‘t. Which is why Black Lives Matter! 3w

lil1inblue @Eggbeater 🎯🎯🎯 3w

lil1inblue @TheBookHippie I'm so sick of not all men, too. I just say, "It's all men until it's no men." 3w

TheBookHippie @lil1inblue 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 3w

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie EXACTLY!!! Stop acting like you‘re being attacked and claiming it‘s not you, and tell a man who IS doing this crap to stop. Then we can talk. 3w

GingerAntics @Eggbeater 🎯🎯🎯 spot on! 3w

GingerAntics @lil1inblue 1000% yes 3w

GingerAntics @Amiable EXACTLY!!! If Black Lives Matter or “this guy assaulted me” offends you, then maybe you should ask yourself why instead of acting like you‘re somehow offended. You‘re not offended, you‘re pissed that someone is daring to question your authority as a white person or as a man. 3w

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics yes this. 3w

AnnCrystal All Lives Do Matter! Indigenous Americans highlights “All Children Matter.“

I believe that schools need to begin teaching lessons on empathy, and the necessity of being humane. 3w

GingerAntics @AnnCrystal I totally agree! I would love to see that happen. 3w

GingerAntics @lil1inblue @TheBookHippie Knitting Cult Lady told a story about this time she was in a local community group online, and this woman was asking for help moving because her husband was abusive and she wanted to get her and the kids out… not a single man volunteered. When asked why, every one of them said “he might hurt me.” Bro, you‘re afraid? What do you think she is? Only the women would help her. 3w

GingerAntics @lil1inblue @TheBookHippie these are the same people who say “why didn‘t she just leave if she was so afraid of him?” 🙄 until men start calling out other men‘s behaviour, until men by default believe women when they say they‘ve been abused, until men show up for women, don‘t come at me with “not all men.” 3w

lil1inblue @GingerAntics 🎯 🎯 🎯“Until men start calling out other men's behaviour“ 🙌 3w

lil1inblue I guess along the same lines, it's also Black Lives Matter until all lives matter! 3w

Origins of Totalitarianism | Hannah Arendt

Just finished viewing this mesmerizing PBS documentary- if you have access to PBS it‘s well-worth viewing! Parallels to our existing executive branch are glaring. #adventuresinphilosophy

Tamra Thanks for posting! Off to find it. 3w

squirrelbrain I just finished this book, in which Arendt is featured. Not sure I understood a lot of it, but still worth a read.

Is it sexist to say ‘men are trash‘? Maybe it‘s better to ask: Can you be sexist to a man?

@ravenlee @JaclynW @RavenLovelyReads @AlaSkaat @Chrissyreadit @kspenmoll @bnp @CatLass007 @DrSabrinaMoldenReads

TheBookHippie There are no repercussions for being male. Name me a law CURRENTLY that controls men‘s bodies, ability to have a credit card, own property, CHANGE back to your maiden name with out signed permission, etc etc. you cannot be sexist to someone in power. It‘s impossible. White men obviously … but even in other cases the male factor over rides. The government legislates our bodies. So I may be a bit anger biased. 1mo

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie 1000000% agree! 4w

kspenmoll I cannot say it any better than @TheBookHippie 4w
