So I'm just venting here, but let me just say that regardless of political affiliation I still love my family to death, not to say they aren't blind sometimes.
So me and my aunt got pretty into it on Snapchat about women's issues and stupid shit like that. She directed me to all these buzzfeed articles ("it's unbiased news, honey") that obviously supported her side and made ridiculously false claims. I wanted to seriously school her, like I would on anyone else who says white boys are a problem, you know? I didn't just because I don't want family gatherings to be awkward. She also brought up how apparently taking birth control is oppression, even though men have to wear an uncomfortable condom for the entire time. She makes all these laughable arguments like the wage gap and how women apparently have to be on the watch for rapists 24/7. Dude, you don't know how fuckin bad I wanted to go off, "Well, bitch, the wage gap doesn't take into account..." You know? She sure didn't know what to say about our sexual assault argument. I obviously said that it is a serious issue, but it isn't a pandemic for women like she is making it sound. The ironic thing here is that I, a teenage boy, have been a victim of sexual assault, and she hasn't. I was molested when I was a young boy (still not a feminist, and rooted for kavanaugh). There's another thing though. She always brings out the age card. All the "oh honey, you're too young to know what you're talking about." Yeah, she said that. Well, joke's on her because I am 7 years younger than her and know far more about politics than she could ever dream of knowing.
