evileCan I get a "FUCK YES!!!"?
Goddamn. TOTALLY. THIS.
Especially:
"Civility alone does not change people's minds. Civility works to further a conversation. That is a worthy goal, but furthering conversation with complete tools is not always what I want to do. It's generally pointless to spend my energy on trying to get through to brainless, bigoted assholes."
"We should all be polite and nice to one another. Sure. We aren't, though. Most people are fuckups, assholes, shitheads, jerkoffs, or just plain stupid. However, we are not children or animals to be punished by withdrawal of privileges when we do not do what we should. Our gender (or race, or whatever) is not the measure of whether we need to be controlled.
You know what I really think we should all do?
I think we should speak the truth."
YES YES YES.
FUCK YES.
