he’s making the argument that feminism (just like christian spaces) has not made the space to recognize people often come to feminism with a dark past.
oh, except it *HAS*. only—that “dark space”???? IS NOT CENTERED ON FUCKSTAIN MEN WHO TRIED TO KILL THEIR EX!
it is, as I stated previously, focusing on the WOMEN—the women who bought drugs instead of buying food for their kids, the women who murdered their children, the women who spent time in prison or were “whores” in school….or—here’s a thought—
THE WOMEN WHO HAVE KILLED ***THEIR*** ABUSIVE VIOLENT EXs WHO ARE SERVING LIFE SENTENCES.
feminism*s* has made all sorts of spaces for “dark pasts”—some have done it better than others—*F*eminism hasn’t done that great of a job of it, but even *they* have found ways to understand welfare mothers outside of “lazy whore.”
the thing to notice here is that MEN DON’T GET TO DECIDE HOW MUCH SPACE IS TO BE MADE FOR “DARK PASTS”—AND THEY SURE DON’T GET TO DECIDE THAT THEIR DARK PAST IS MORE DESERVING OF SPACE THAN ALL THE ABUSED WOMEN WHO TRIED TO KILL (or did kill) THEIR ABUSIVE EX’S.
The end.
Douche.
