STFU, Apologists!
This is a blog designed to tell people who apologize for racists, rapists, abusers, homophobes and general assholes to shut the fuck up. Trigger warnings should be obvious but for anything outside of those listed above I'll try and include it.
Apologists by isms: COMING SOON

everytime this comes up, you better freakin’ reblog the hell out of it.
This should have WAY more notes just sayin!!
Thank you times a billion 💚
Maybe this is gonna sound douchey of me or whatever but,
I’m not going to thank you. Yes, you deserve thanks because you took bullets for me. Literally, in the long run. But what I really want to say is,
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry that we have a country that starts battles in random parts of the world for the gains of the rich, that we’ve stopped being protectors and starting being aggressors and we’ve used you to do our dirty work. And I’m sorry that we keep trying to convince you that you’re doing something noble or that you’re actually helping anybody you really care about.
I’m sorry that you’re being used. I’m sorry that you’re just numbers for a military-industrial complex to throw around at some brown people. And I’m sorry that you’ve been convinced that this is the right thing to do.
I’m sorry that you come back psychologically unstable, the anti-killing instinct forcibly removed from your brains. I’m sorry that you’re homeless and often unpaid, that a huge section of those living in poverty on the streets are veterans. And I’m sorry that we glorify your struggle as something that had to happen, because the terrible truth is that it didn’t have to happen and we made it happen anyway.
I’m sorry that you’ve seen horrors.
And I’m sorry that we screwed you over.

WOW yeah it’s like they’re trying to make things better but only making themselves more of assholes. Oh wait hold on I got a gif for this shit:

I saw this posted on a messageboard thread about “bronies.” I don’t even know what to think.
(More evidence that Bronies and hypermasculine spaces are inevitably violent and evil. The patriarchy makes men into jerks and women into objects.)

The claim that sex workers “sell our bodies” is not only logically absurd (I was a prostitute for years, but my body is still right here with me), but totally sexist because it is based on the notion that a woman’s sexuality is her entire worth. The belief behind this expression is that since a woman has nothing of value to offer except her sexuality, if she “sells” that she has “sold herself” and there is nothing left. The fact that anti-sex worker activists use this expression so often says a lot about them.

So true never thought about that.

And it gives the notion that other forms of work, (especially menial jobs that require too much effort and barely get people by) also don’t require you to use your body as an expendable resource for survival, essentially “selling your body” in the same regard. You can have your own personal feelings about sex work and whether or not you would enter the field, but referring to it as the “selling of one’s body” while holding other forms of work in a higher regard is nonsensical and blatant sex-shaming.

Slut jokes, even if you’re grinning ear to ear when you tell them, are about as funny as the orange of “orange you glad I didn’t say banana” fame holding a knife to the Nineteenth Amendment.
If y’all aren’t following Cate I don’t know what your problem is.

AUDIO: Witness Says George Zimmerman Repeatedly Bullied Him At Work, Targeted Him With Racist Jokes
Among the evidence in the Trayvon Martin case released by the Florida state prosecutor yesterday was a 15-minute interview with a former work colleague of George Zimmerman. The man, who is not identified by name, says that Zimmerman relentlessly bullied him at work.
Zimmerman, according to the witness, targeted him because he was Middle Eastern. He repeatedly called the man a “fucking moron” and mocked him using the voice of “Achmed the terrorist.” Zimmerman’s stories about the man would involve “bombing,” “I’ll kill your family” and other “jokes” about “Middle Eastern stuff.” According to the man, this went on “for days and days.”

No, you should never defend someone who outed another person for being gay. I’ve been threatened by people I went to school with because they knew I’m not straight and that my parents were unaware and it was honestly the scariest time in my life. You do not know a particular person’s situation and you do not get to make an incredibly serious and life altering decision for them. Not ever.

There’s a very damning misconception that there’s the far right that’s passing all these blatantly anti-gay, anti-women, anti-minority bills and then there’s the larger, less fringe, fairly centrist GOP that’s trying to be the voice of reason.
No. Just no.
These bills wouldn’t pass if the GOP wasn’t all pulling together to vote for them, to speak on their behalf and in their defense.They wouldn’t have enough support.
Which means that the gray-haired junior senator who smiled at you that one time, who seemed like a genuinely good guy, who said he’d work to change things, who said he’d fight for families and for the middle class - he’s the one voting for bills that further limit what protections women have against domestic violence.
Who, in a day when only a fraction of the perpetrators are ever even charged and a far smaller fraction are ever convicted, stood up to say that these protections should be even further restricted becausethe women are probably lying, anyway.
Please do your research and hold your representatives accountable for the bills they sponsor and vote for. Be educated. Be vocal. And if they refuse to adjust their course, don’t hesitate to vote them out.
I’d bet a few independent or even democrat congressmen went with the hateful flow too.
