Additional scripts for cis het white men who want to be better allies:
“What a weird thing to say”
“Do you hear yourself right now?”
“You shouldn’t say shit like that to people”
“I won’t let you talk to them that way”
“That’s a disgusting opinion to have”
“Shut the fuck up, dude”
it’s me, aslynn
You can be wrong when nobody knows something. You just have to follow evidence once you have it.
Cis men truly need to understand the power of saying “that’s fucked up bro why would you say that” to another cis man
Whenever you see someone online saying "my parents kicked me out and that was what made me quit using and get a job" remember you are looking at survivorship bias. The person who OD'ed on the couch of a guy named Gregg isn't here to tell you that "tough love" is just self-indulgent punishing.
I would even put "angry" in quotes. Not that we aren't, but the threshold for our anger being "inappropriate" seems suspiciously low.
