So, Tumblr is all full of Social Justice, which is a thing I find really interesting about it. I think the whole reblogging "THERE ARE NO PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS!" thing is a big part of it --it's easy to call people out in a big way, and then reblog those particularly well written out-callings and share them with your followers.

I am not really a Social Justice Warrior¹ in a big way, but every once in a while, the angry feminist comes out. So when one of my friends made a post sounding confused, I decided to throw in my two cents worth:

For context, he is white, male, and 16ish

Posts about “white boys” always make me uncomfortable. I am a white boy, and that might be part of it, but mostly it just feels wrong, especially coming from the same people who would be appalled at a sexist or racist joke.
I dunno.
Thoughts?

( My response, cut because you can do that pretty easily over here (and not so much on Tumblr) )

So we'll see what happens from there. I think this is a good exercise for me, it's helping me clarify some of the thoughts I've been having recently. I'm absolutely not posting this to call out or shame the boy in question, I'm really only including his bits because they help with the context.

Ayep.
