    When it comes to misogyny or rasicsm you wouldn’t tell someone to just try and do less of it.

    Idk, these are very different things. If I think about how much I hate (some group) then I may be a racist based on that alone. If I don’t consume animal products but I fantasize about eating a cheeseburger I would still be a vegan.

    Nobody is going to literally say “just do less racism” but in practice we often only deal with small parts of someone’s racism.










  • I didn’t realize how bad some of these issues were until I was talking to a woman I work with. She was sort of half considering going back to an old career (white collar, not public facing) instead of our workplace (very much blue collar/male dominated) but she mentioned that she doesn’t want to have to start wearing makeup again. I was a bit confused because I didn’t think that makeup would really be seen as a requirement there. She said it wasn’t a requirement but there was a lot of pressure to do it.

    Daily makeup looks almost as bad as occasionally wearing heels to me, but I do neither so IDK.
