Heavy…. heavy,

Woah

… There’s a very important conversation to be had there.

If this is being brought up shouldn’t we also addressing the age of the politicians in places of power tho?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

NEVER LET THIS POST DIE

It’s so disappointing to see how many people blindly support this statement.

The elderly are a vulnerable population and they’re protected for a reason.

If you live in a capitalist society (like most of us on Tumblr do) and the elderly aren’t allowed to vote for policies that protect them, they will simply be left to die because they’re no longer producing capital for the system (i.e. Country, city, state, etc) – the system inherently devalues those who don’t produce at the most efficient level possible.

This statement is, at its core, suggesting a human rights violation.

The fact of the matter is that to a centrist-technocratic politician none of us should be able to vote

That’s fair… also who on tumblr isn’t living under capitalism?

Thinking that sex workers are trying to steal your man

Is like thinking day care workers are trying to steal your kid.

Bad analogy considering that that shit does happen

But the vast VAST majority have no interest in or intention of doing so and generally people don’t go stomping down to daycare to confront the person watching their dribbling, shitting infant about spending time with their kid

The floor is for keeping the police accountable

The floor is “…liberty and justice for all”

The floor is respect for women and minorities

The floor is staying out of the middle east

The floor is universal health care

The floor is a healthy & functioning education system

The floor is protecting black people

The floor is presidential experience

The floor is supplying your citizens with clean water *cough cough Flint still doesn’t have clean water couch cough*

The floor is providing a living wage for everyone

The floor is a functional economic system

Also sometimes “choice feminist” rhetoric bothers me, because like, do your makeup, don’t do your makeup, that’s all fine and good, humans have been painting our faces since we got slightly less hairy then our predecessors, but the whole “I want to choose to stay home and be supported” thing (when done by straight women) rubs me the wrong way a bit because like A: the position of dependence that puts you in makes me uncomfortable and is actually historically aberrant (most people were subsistence farmers, both partners in a married couple were necessary for survival, whereas now the partner who works outside the home would be fine without due to technology and so on, for most of history the vast majority couples were interdependent rather than one depending upon the other) B: The fact that this is overwhelmingly something women choose and are expected to choose is suspicious as fuck C: Without the radical demand for wages for housework it enforces the idea of domestic labor as not being “real” labor D: I’m just saying the fetishization of economic dependence upon someone else (someone you’re presumably in a relationship with) makes me feel icky. E: Being economically dependent on another person creates really fucked up power dynamics that are really hard to overcome and with the gendered power dynamics on top of that it’s just like… really easy for such a situation to turn deeply unhealthy

I’m probably wrong and an asshole for feeling this way… but like stay home with your BBys/cats/whatever by all means, that’s awesome, but demand to be paid for it and shit.

That said it’s incredibly interesting that economic dependence has been the norm for wealthy women in many (if not most) cultures for the majority of recorded history and dependence has been treated as something inspirational, something to be longed for…
