Y’all, feel free to start tagging (or sending this to people if you don’t, understandably, want it on your blog).
Ugh
I’m sorry they spoke to you that way.
I’ve never seen this blog before. I looked through a few of their posts and they’re clearly taking the “state your opinion in the most abrasive and alienating way possible” approach, which means they are very unlikely to listen to me if I ask them to stop. But I can try.
To all pro-lifers and conservatives who follow me: @genuine-blogging is a great example of how NOT to talk to your fellow human beings, ESPECIALLY if they disagree with you.
Well, I don’t care about how they spoke to me personally. I am wholly unbothered by it on a personal level. What bothers me is the rampant racism, ableism, and nazi propaganda that seems to be common with anti choice people. That and the fact that y’all ignore it so easily.
Even here. You’ve apologized to me for someone else’s behavior (totally unnecessary) and still not actually addressed the issue. But whatever. Hey, at least you responded. So points for that I guess.
I addressed the racism in the ask I sent to genuine-blogging. I was generally concerned about the derogatory way in which they were speaking to you.
Also, how we talk to each other is important because when we speak respectfully to each other we are more likely to actually respect each other, and the opposite is also true. Changing our language is crucial to increasing understanding and communication, and understanding and communication increase compassion and respect.
I don’t think language should be legislated, but I do think it is extremely important to watch how we talk to each other. We can’t make progress by tearing each other down, but we can accomplish a lot by building relationships, listening to understand, and communicating effectively.
So even if you aren’t offended by how they spoke to you personally, I see it as a symptom of a larger problem in our society where people think it’s okay to belittle and tear each other down in order to try to “win” an argument.
Full offense, but @motherbychoice is a sociopath who aims to guilt trip and twist words of people she disagrees with to suit her needs. Don’t bother “dialoguing” with her, she isn’t interested in a common ground or even decency.
Lol. Are you STILL talking about me? I must have made one hell of an impression on your sorry ass.
Notice several more of y’all have reblogged this. Not one of you has actually called out the racist, ableist, nazi. But you’re sure quick to fuss at me. Wonder why.
I literally reblogged yesterday over people defending aborting DS babies and called them out for it lol But have fun with your superiority high. 🙂 Come back to me when you wanna stop acting like a sociopath and actually have a civil discussion.
