If you are not actively and vocally part of the solution 24-7, you are part of the problem.  [/quote]

Stop it. This "with us or against us" ultimatum was bullshit when George W. Bush said it. It was bullshit when Ibram Kendi said it. And it's no better when you say it. [/quote]

If you are actively and vocally fighting battle over race, gender, etc. 24-7, you ARE the problem. [/quote]

Says someone who is OK with status quo. We get it. You need to experience multiple forms of hatred you cannot control to really understand being oppressed. You simply lack the experience of working 10 times harder than peers for recognition and a seat at the table. You will have to prove yourself over and over again in ways you don’t even f’in get.[/quote]

+1.  We are actively fighting 24/7 because we are actively experiencing racism and sexism and the impacts 24/7.

You (top PP) are blaming the victims of oppression for not staying silent about the oppression.  That’s like blaming a victim of domestic abuse for complaining that her husband hit her.

Being silent about racism and sexism has never been a successful tactic.  Nor has working hard to beat the oppressor at his own game.  Waiting for the oppressor to grant you full and equal rights hasn’t worked.  100 years after the right to vote was won, women still don’t have equality nor do we have the support of societal structures, i.e. society still runs on the unpaid labor of women - no universal paid maternity leave, no universal paid childcare, no universal paid family/sick leave, no SS credit for caregiving.

Women are doing unpaid labor to birth and raise the next generation of taxpayers.

And when we see things like the Dobbs draft, which takes away our fundamental rights and legalizes putting our bodies at the unpaid service of society, it is infuriating. Men do suck.  Men refuse to grant us equal rights. And it is men who still control the levers of power in society. The men who are at these power levers suck, and ever man who silently assents to those decisions also sucks.

You silent bystanders, you men who support in words only or by the occasional small deeds, you who want women to smile and be silent - you suck. [/quote]

No one is saying OP's wife should be silent. She should just direct her anger in a productive direction. Ranting at your DH and son is not helping anything, and is probably ultimately making everything worse. But you sound like a weirdo anyway, so my guess is you don't have the social intelligence to see the difference.[/quote]
