I had two job interviews today. If I get either one of them it’d be better pay for better hours than the job I have now.
I fucking crushed both interviews, and y’know what?
Being heartbroken over a girl that threw me away is fucking stupid I’m confident in my odds of getting either job and I’m just going to keep winning I’ve been back on my head meds, back on my hormones I’m just gonna keep getting myself right and she’s gonna see that I’m a great woman and a catch while she just keeps bedrotting and she’s gonna see she fucked up letting me go
I’ve worked so hard on getting back to being myself since we moved to this shit hole town in April and all she’s done is bedrot and I’m not letting it hold me back anymore
We don’t really see how this makes it okay. Isn’t it just propping up patriarchy through misogyny but somehow pretending it is okay because it’s a woman doing it? We completely understand if it’s reclaimed positively, but negatively isn’t reclaiming, it’s just continuing the violence, surely?
I do not necessarily feel that it’s use in this context is rule breaking. If it was being used to denigrate women as a whole, and not to express some anger at one woman in particular, that would be different.
Her status as a woman herself does not make the action harmless, just less harmful owing to her own lack of power in the patriarchal power structure.
What we’re getting from this is, uhh, beings can be mysoginstic against those whom we hate?
Brown beings using slurs against brown beings that they hate?
We don’t fight fire with fire, all the time.
The word is interesting. It’s in a grey area, a word used to degrade, but also to empower. Appie here in the 3rd world, the b-word is a slur. We’ve seen men using it against each other, guess what? It’s an insult. For example:
CW: Mysoginy
“Stop being a little bitch!” Where “bitch” means an annoying, most often, woman.
So there’s a whole word to describe annoying women, and it’s used most of the time to discrimniate against them. If that doesn’t make the word mysognistic, then wow, we would be very horrified to interact with any with the thought that we can be bigoted against each other.
Very rarely do we see beings using the “word” for themselve
and again, this isn’t an issue of OP calling themselves that word, but it’s directed at another woman, which seems to carry the negative meaning.
Just equate this to another slur.
CW: Queerphobic Slur
Is it okay to call those whom we hate sissies, faggots, and what not? NO. We used these slurs as examples, because they are used against us
CW: Mysoginy
OP is using this double-edged word, to degrade OP’s ex.
That’s the negative usage of the word. Degradation.
Tl;dr: We are beings of color, it means our skin is not “the default white”. And we would never, use a slur/(offensive word used against us) against those whom we hate. Nor have we seen them do that to us.
brownphonbia, racism
We have never called or been called “camelrider” or whatever the fuck they insult beings in Arab countries these days.
