    I feel like it’s difficult to have a nuanced discussion because people feel a sense of urgency. If the world’s always in crisis, it’s hard to step back and slow down.

      Yeah but that ends up making everything worse. There’s a whole industry of people who feed off of outrage to grift and push radical opinions. The biggest offenses aren’t even related to gender. As a society we aren’t even able to have a nuanced conversation about benign issues like gas stoves. I don’t know how we’re ever really supposed to tackle bigger issues such as gender when shit like that causes mass outrage.

        Yeah. Here’s hoping we can solve a few of the ongoing crises and get back to more nuanced discourse
