Worst of Social Justice

I'm just going to throw into this thread all the people who think that PMS is a socially constructed illness and that people who suffer from it just have all their symptoms "in their head" because they've been brainwashed by the patriarchy. The irony of statements like these is that, historically speaking, PMS wasn't regarded as a legitimate problem until relatively recently because doctors assumed they were making it up.

The Patriarchy actually genetically engineered woman to have PMS as part of their supression campaign.

This is ignoring the fact that Frozen is based on a Danish fairy tale (which I forgot its name. Was it The Ice Queen? The Snow Queen?) and there is no white-washing involved. No only where there no African peoples in Denmark at the time of its settings (like there are no non-whites in Brave and no non-Chinese people in Mulan), having a Black princess like in The Princess and the Frog (whose settling was in New Orleans, Louisiana, foreign to the original and conventional settings) would be impractical in this setting since Blacks cannot handle colder climates as easily as we Whites and even Asians.

Fans of the Disney Canon (and even "Non-canon", since the Walt Disney Company refuses to remember the failures of films like The Black Cauldron, Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Treasure Planet) are seriously getting worked up over another "White" Princess, when she is once again from Denmark a damn long time ago? And in a climate where the sun doesn't shine as often and its usually cold?

Also, nice watermark, whoever edited the image to adjust to a bunch of insipid complaints.

Also, it makes perfect thematic sense for a snow-related character to be very pale with very light hair and blue eyes. Just like having someone related to fire would probably be a redhead, and someone related to the elemental force of Tumblr would be an obese, genderfluid white person (biologically female) who claims to be a POC with fifteen headmates who is part wolf.

I think I see what's going on here. They're confusing elemental snow character with an elemental special snow flake character.

The human brain runs scripts? Like a computer? How many gigs megs is your brain?

I think they're implying that bisexual women are basically lesbians who are brainwashed by society into believing that they're not supposed to like girls, so they're so warped that they try to trick themselves into being attracted to the evil patriarchy.

Also note that according to that post female bisexuals are just victims of heteronormativity but male bisexuals are EVIL men who want to dominate women even if they aren't sexually compatible...

How the ever loving fuck is being attracted to two genders heteronormative?

Because bi men in gay relationships don't exist! Apparently.

I guess they just think that gay men are confused tools of the patriarchy trying to control each other by accident.

Well that post did specifically say that bisexuals don't exist...

I really don't get the whole Bi-bashing that occurs in the GLBT circles. Usually "heteronormativity" gets thrown a lot in those complaints, like complaining that a bisexual person in a relationship with a person of different gender is somehow betraying the GLBT since he/she will benefit from heteronormativity and is "hiding" from the harassment and discrimination the others must face.

Am I the only one who finds ironic that there are people who start from: "We are different from you. We have the right to be different than you and should not be discriminated simply because we do not fit your norms." And end up discriminating other who do not fit THEIR norms and standards... "Everyone must live by the standards I have set because that is the only way to be free from the constraints of heteronormativity."

One radscum argument about gay men and men in same-sex relationships said something along the lines of, "They are inherently diseased because it approximates patriarchal power structures." Despite the fact that evidence shows same-sex relationships are more likely to be egalitarian in the distribution of relationship roles and household chores, etc., than opposite-sex relationships.
