Cis male privilege is having yourself introduced with your name and not defined as just being “Someone’s boyfriend”.

Rant: It is not right to introduce anyone with the title of, “So-and-So’s partner” and then just end it. They were not put on this planet to be with that person. They are still…

Meanwhile 200 people were butchered in Syria. Little children having their throats slit. But no one was talking about it because the topic of “she’s so-and-so, whatsits names girlfriend” was far more important.

Listen up, class. This is an example of classic derailing, using the “there are far more important issues” guilt trip tactic.

Guess what? It’s possible to care about more than one thing at once. World issues and women’s issues are not mutually exclusive. 

I went onto a blog called ‘kittens’ and it wasn’t about Syria! Do these people think kittens are more important? Disgusting!

We don’t have to care about your KITTENS. THERES DESERT IN THEM SYRIIAS
