‘The point is not that all men harass women, it’s that all women have been harassed by men’
You can apply this to any oppressed group. Every PoC has been oppressed by someone white. Every trans person has been oppressed by someone cis. The list goes on and on.
And because you asked this question- YES, ALL CIS MEN.
Every person of privilege oppresses in some way because we benefit from some way from the system. We also can live ignorantly if we want to with no consequence. We have been brought up in a culture that rewards us for keeping the system and being ignorant. It is impossible for me to not be racist, because I am white.It is impossible for me to not be transphobic, because I am cis.
I want every single man, every single cis person, every single straight person, every single privileged person ever to look at my SJ posts and ask ‘am i doing that?’. If I put ‘some men’ ‘some cis’ etc. THAT LETS EVERYONE OFF THE FUCKING HOOK. Because you will assume you don’t do that, even if you do.
Also, you fail to understand social justice- so many people who ask question like these do. Social justice is NOT ABOUT INDIVIDUALS. IT IS ABOUT SOCIAL GROUPS, CULTURE, AND THE WHOLE. When a PoC makes a post like ‘ugh white people’ they are not talking about individual white people, they are talking about a group, a whole, a system of oppression. And don’t give me the bullshit about ‘oh, well they should say some’ because
First: yes, all white people
Second: as if you haven’t at some point exclaimed ‘i hate people’ or ‘i hate drivers’ or ‘i hate customers’. You don’t hate all customers or all people or all drivers, just the circumstances that put you in a horrible position
Also, I will not answer any more anons on this particular topic, if anyone wants to discuss this with me, they can show me their face so we can keep it private.
Brand new screenshots from Tales from the Borderlands, the newest episodic saga from Telltale Games! New screens show off cameos from characters from previous games, like Zer0, Shade and probably a whole lot more. New shots of our new characters, Fiona and Rhys, plus a whole lot of psychos, bandits and Hyperion robots. We’re still looking at a Summer release, but no official date set yet. Telltale is working with both Gearbox and 2K, to deliver Tales from the Borderlands as a solid canon piece to the Borderlands world.
“I think one of the amazing things about Spider-Man is that you don’t see skin color when he’s in the suit. You don’t see any religious beliefs. You don’t see any denominations. Everyone can project themselves into that suit. It’s incredibly powerful in that way. So of course I think it’s important that the openness, the casting, in terms of who could be Spider-Man, could be absolutely anyone. A hero is a hero, whether you’re a man, woman, gay, lesbian, straight, black, white or red all over — it doesn’t matter.”
- Andrew Garfield, on the universal appeal of Spider-man [x]

He admitted to it. On fucking camera. He and another boy recorded the rape and that of a 13-year-old girl.
Why aren’t they in prison for sexual exploitation of a minor and production/possession of child pornography?
Oh, right, because they’re popular football players and Matthew Barnett is related to a politician! Therefore, nothing they can do is wrong or bad and they should never face punishment and should instead be rewarded for raping young teenage girls and filming their assaults.
