Someday there’s going to be a historical American Girl doll named Emma or Ella or some shit and she’s gonna have sillybands and get her Netflix DVDs delivered in the mail and be so fucking excited about getting her flip phone for her 10th birthday all because she was born in like 2003 and I’m not ready for that.
Okay, here’s the problem with the idea that oppressed groups can “alienate allies” by not being nice enough:
You shouldn’t be an ally because oppressed groups are nice to you. You should be an ally because you believe they deserve basic human rights. Hearing “I hate men” shouldn’t make men stop being feminist. Hearing “fuck white people” shouldn’t make white people stop opposing racism.
Your opposition to oppression should be moral, and immovable. Your belief that all humans should be treated with equal respect shouldn’t be conditional based on whether or not individual people are nice to you.

“The double agent for the patriarchy is basically just a woman who perhaps unknowingly is still putting the patriarchal narrative out into the world. Is still benefitting off, profiting off and selling a patriarchal narrative to other women. But it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. You know, just because you look like a woman, we trust you and we think you’re on our side, but you are selling us something that really doesn’t make us feel good. You’re selling us an ideal, a body shape, a problem with our wrinkles, a problem with ageing, a problem with gravity, a problem with any kind of body fat. You’re selling us self-consciousness. The same poison that made you clearly develop some sort of body dysmorphia or facial dysmorphia, you are now pouring back into the world. You’re like recycling hatred. I find that really dangerous and I think it’s unacceptable and I don’t care if you’re a woman. I think constructive criticism is needed for anyone to ever evolve. For our gender to evolve we need some sort of constructive criticism. As long as we do it in a somewhat careful way. (…) So many of the worst things in the world have happened motivated by greed. And I just don’t think that’s an acceptable excuse anymore. How much money do you need? Really how much money do you need? How much money do any of these huge influencers who are worth millions or billions sometimes… why are they still promoting appetite-suppressant lollipops to young girls? And it’s not a fight against obesity. They have young, already slim girls, in their adverts for Flat Tummy company, this company that are absolutely everywhere, and they’re even being advertised in some of the most mainstream magazines, women’s magazines, and they have a billboard in Times Square. The money is built on the blood and tears of young women who believe in them, who follow them, who look up to them like the big sister they never had. It’s so upsetting and it feels like such a betrayal against women.”

Please tell everyone you know to watch at least four episodes over the next few days to ensure that it gets picked up for a third season!!!
This show covers topics ranging from depression and PTSD, to alcoholism, sexuality, and racism, all while being incredibly funny and never making fun of the topics it discusses so thoughtfully.
PLUS, it features a Cuban family with a gay daughter and a single mother who just so happens to be a veteran and a nurse.
I have never loved a TV family more than I love the Alvarez family. I have never cried over a TV family more than I have with the Alvarez family. And I truly can say that the finale of season 2 was the best episode of a sitcom I have ever seen.
Please, I’m begging all my followers to not let this beautiful show get cancelled because Netflix yet again doesn’t advertise the true gems in their library.
This cannot be another Sense8, where we watch representation get cancelled over another Adam Sandler movie.
Reblog and watch the show please!
