Dear confused citizens,

stephaniejboland:

Comparing rape where someone is beaten and dragged into the bushes with date rape is to compare two identical crimes, one instance of which includes other violent crimes.
Please attempt to cognitize this.
Regards,
Feminist-because-I’m-angry not angry-because-I’m-a-feminist.

This is the clearest expression I’ve seen of this recently.

LIFE IS LONG.: What to say, and not say, to an adult with autism → juliahearts.tumblr.com

DON’T SAY: “I never would have known. You must be very high functioning.”

SAY: “I obviously don’t know anything about autism.”

DON’T SAY: “Are you sure?”

SAY: “I obviously really don’t know anything about autism.”

DON’T SAY: “Isn’t that, you know, a kid thing?”

SAY: “Damn, the media works…

The thing about lists like this is that I am humbled to realise just how much bullshit I am prevented from spewing by basic good manners.
