Thinking about how online gaming made me a feminist.
Used to think it was all silly but seeing how men act when they think they're anonymous did it for me.
Even my good friends have internalized misogyny that they don't recognize.
Like whenever a guy on the team top frags he's the goat, but if I top frag the #2 guy is still the goat and no one says anything to me. -
as someone with light sensitive eyes halogenic/LED lights on cars makes me want to cry

Sidenote if anyone has any advice for dealing with emotionally toxic and manipulative family members please help. I cannot tell them to f--- off and they do not listen to reason.
Didn't go to their granddaughters birthday party because I had work and was sent a barrage of angry messages. -
Personally I find it best to not react at all. Don't feed into it. Don't argue back. Hardly acknowledge it, if at all. Just speak very matter-of-factly
At the end of the day, the only thing you can control is your own reactions
It doesn't make it easier. But reminding yourself it's not your responsibility to make them happy is one step on the way to healing yourself. I'm sorry you're having to deal with that -
Thank you! I really appreciate that. It definitely is hard, especially when they use your indifference to further their beliefs that you're selfish and don't care about them, but that's just the nature of narcism I suppose.
I really appreciate you reminding me that. I definitely needed to hear that 💙 -
In that situation it doesn't really matter what you say because they will always think badly of you. Which is not your fault. Someone has to be the enemy to them, and you just so happen to be the current target. So you have to take the route that protects yourself!
Hopefully one day you won't have to deal with that anymore -
That is super encouraging. We ended up talking last night and decided to cut them off with limited exceptions.
They are energy vampires and never appreciate it when we show up. They invite is just to say they did and ignore us when we go, but then say we don't care about the family when we don't go...
I really appreciate you saying that, Seth. Feels like you know exactly what it's like.. as much as I hope you haven't had to go through it yourself, I do find comforting to feel understood. -
Yeah...those are always hard situations.
...never appreciate it when we show up. They invite is just to say they did and ignore us when we go, but then say we don't care about the family when we don't go...
Honestly reminds me of one side of my family, I've had stuff like that happen. At least with me, anyway, they aren't like that to my parent on their side but me and my other parent? Yeah. Me moreso than even my other parent. They get all up in a frenzy if I don't do XYZ but if I do I just end up in a corner or other room somewhere ignored, might as well not be there so why is it such a big deal if I'm not? I literally once spent my entire birthday stuck in a room by myself because all the other family was off doing whatever.
No idea what to do about it since I'm still figuring that out myself but what I see suggested/done seems to be good ideas so I'll leave that to y'all haha. Just wanted to say that I understand. -
Multiple members of my family are like that 😅 Most of them started being like that to me when they found out I'm lgbt. And my dad's baby-mama/on-and-off girlfriend was also like that to me. But I cut people off very easily without hesitation because I can't be bothered to deal with it LOL

Thank you two
