so here's a fun thing: as little as five or six years ago, I was a "lol dickwolves" and "fuck watching what I say, if someone can't deal they can always go elsewhere" person. Probably would have complained about feminists being too aggressive, too. I've learned *so much* by talking to my partner about this stuff and just *listening* to women, transpeople, survivors etc. It's made me so much of a better person (or so I like to think).
as little as six years ago I believed that the ~friend zone~ is Actually A Thing
@theoutrider I mean, it probably didn't make you a WORSE person, but I doubt it made you a better one. It probably just turned you from one type of average person to another type of average person.
@ua86 I would like to think I've become a better person wrt how I treat and think about others over the past few years, but yeah. Always more to learn, always more to grow.
