what i heard was: "hi i'm a misogynist piece of shit, please punch me in my face"

man scrolling through tumblr sees a feminist rant...
iphisquandary:
plot twist: the man thinks, ah, she is simply expressing her frustration as a member of an oppressed group, whilst hating the construction of masculinity that was designed to keep her down, not necessarily all individual men such as myself…this is absolutely not the same thing as sexism and not a personal attack on me *keeps scrolling*
