Now this needs a million upvotes. WOW.

Also about how sad it is that society has convinced many people that romance is the only kind of love that is important. You barely see in media people showing family or friendly love to each other.

And these are the same people screeching about "CRT" being taught in schools because they still prioritize White feelings over truth

This one is powerful. I don't want to be beautiful as a woman to conform to a norm expected from me since I was a toddler. I want to be strong, resilient, intelligent, cultured, friendly, helpful, any adjective but beautiful. I am not a flower, I am a woman

It may be cultural. I've seen this some times in bored panda but I can affirm that in my country they will explain and they can be very explicit. And, if being among some men, all of them will talk much and at the same time.

If a man thinks this then he is an idiot and doesn't know how to have normal interaction with women.

I once was in a training class with a man who felt that a woman, who reported to police, having her bum slapped by a man at a party was over reacting (this was in a training scenario) When asked how he would have felt if the woman in question was his wife, he said he’d have been outraged. He genuinely couldn’t grasp that it was exactly the same thing whoever the woman was. He was training to be a police constable.

And it hurts everyone, to paint emotions as a weakness rather than a part of humanity

On the other hand, I invite men to have more fun (only people who wants to!) in their appearance. It's also feminism to allow non cis women to wear make up, jewelry, coloured clothes and other clothes different from a shirt or t-shirt and plain trousers. I mean, as a chice, never mandatory!

So very true.

I wish I could give this ten upvotes!

This i good and sad. Good that there is a illustration! Bad that neither me nor they have seen one.

Every female expert has to deal with these sorts of men almost every day. It is so deeply frustrating.

This applies to all gender!Thank you xx

if they can understand straight couples then they can understand gay couples

Are they gonna start making pockets when they realize the women are evolving?

Fear vs. Aggression.

Yeah, I'm not going to respect you when you just told me my entire existence disgusts you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some gay s**t to attend to

When your choices only affect you, they're fine. When your choices impinge upon the lives and choices of others, that's not okay.

Some people need to learn this... You have the right to your opinion. You do NOT have the right to have your opinion respected.

This subject is near and dear to my heart, as I have a transgender daughter. A jerk that I worked with told me he "didn't approve" of transgender people. I told him, that's okay, she didn't need or ask for his approval. He then had the gall to start asking me about whether she was also gay. So, I asked him if he and his wife "did it doggy style, or just missionary style". Or did they mix it up occasionally. He was horrified and told me I was inappropriate and that none of that was my business. I just looked at him and said "precisely". And walked away.

Replace "LGBTQ" with "white" or "christian" and see if the author still agrees with the sentiment.

Yeah, you don't get your "opinion" respected when you don't believe all people deserve human rights.

This is so loaded. Berkeley students offered an interesting solution when some Nazi sympathizers came to recruit people back in the 1940’s. The administration wanted to ban them, the students said let them come, let them share their ideas and let us decide, don’t make the decision for us. The right to free speech and thought isn’t a one way street. People need to be able to express their belief systems, and they also need to take criticisms and opposing viewpoints. It’s a healthier way to interact and it may lead to a more enlightened being. It may not. People who hate need to be challenged, we can’t challenge them if we can’t work out the reasoning behind the stance. **The Nazis gave their speech and we’re sent packing.

Not supporting something doesn't mean being against it - not accepting something does. Somebody not promoting LGBQT but accepting it isn't homophobe, that would be extremist thinking ('If you are not with us and so forth....)

This is the difference between "I don't support it but it's none of my business" and "I don't support it and now I'm going to make it your problem"

I'm against mistreating people for any reason. I, honestly, don't care what people do with their own lives. I have the same opinion on everything that doesn't appeal to me: "Not my cup of tea, but whatever floats your boat." My neighbor invited me to an orgy once. I told him that was gonna be a hard pass from me, but have fun. I didn't see him for a while, so I stopped to check on him one day. He said he thought I was judging him. Nah, bro. I just wanted to make it clear that I was definitely not interested. I don't care what you do.

What is "support"? I respect people based on their personality and their actions. Gender or sexual orientation doesn't influence this. I will not mistreat anyone based on their gender or sexual orientation and I will not misgender them. I will not support any bigotry or any backwards laws that make the live of LGBTIQ people harder, BUT also I will not support LGBTIQ inclusive laws just for the sake of being LGBTIQ inclusive laws. I have yet to encounter such a law, that's being proposed to my countries parliament, but there are some ideas from LGBTIQ organisations (or organisations sympathizing with the community), I can't get behind, as they do involve language and therefore involve everybody else who isn't LGBTIQ.

I’m a very big Dave Chapelle fan for his comedy and his take on gender. It’s not my opinion when I have been taught by science you either a boy or a girl. Now Caitlyn Jenner taught us you can change your mind later on but it’s either a boy or a girl. I don’t know what all this other stuff is coming up when we are miss using pronouns and acting like I’m the dummy when I just see one one person, you either he or she not THEY. If your choices don’t pass my five seconds test of my eyes which have been taught to perceive facts as fact, science and behavior in 40 years then I’m not the one that’s f****d up. I don’t wanna participate in your personal delusions sir ma’am. I also have a problem with people under the age of 18 changing their genders when they are not legally even able to use their personal private parts. Everybody is going f*****g crazy not me and I’m not participating

Mostly true, but there’s a difference between opinion and action. I can say that I don’t believe homosexuality to be right, and that’s my opinion. Everyone’s entitled to an opinion as long as they don’t hurt anyone. Now if I were to go scream in people’s faces about how gay people are killing society or some weird stuff like that, I’m now hurting someone else. That’s an action. But just saying it in a polite manner isn’t hurting anyone (and if you think me saying “My personal opinion is that homosexual acts are sinful” is actually harming you, I would consider that to be overly sensitive). I can believe that something is a sin without hurting the people who do it.

No... Opinion is just that. Oppression is what you actually do. I can hate Christians all I want, it not oppression until I do something. You f*****g snowflakes. No one is being oppressed. Well unless your in the slave trade that still going on but then I doubt you would be online.... I don't opress some one when I say you have a woman's body and female cromosones

I buy extra and keep it at home so my wife won't have to panic because pads or tampons are not there.

Yes!

Next level sarcasm.

Women's contributions are consistently erased. Science is particularly bad about that. Or giving credit for women's ideas to men.

Say it out loud!!!

agree

They didnt think this through. If their penises are so big, wo wants them? This would be just painful.

Desi? What is that, a racial slur?

arguing the opposite is like saying Newton invented gravity

Also we all need to remember that privilege and oppression are not a one or zero aspect of life. A person can be privileged as a man but be opressed as a etnic minority or be white and disabled, rich and gay...
