So in response to being told to shut up, you write a post about it and refer to recent history instead of the empowered woman who stands on the hill of being a marginalized voice, meaning, you need to listen to her. You refer to facts, she relies on narrative. Get with it.
Well, I can guess who might be at the front of the line of folks being marched off to re-education camp. You might as well be waving your hand, saying, choose me.
The incessant presentism, which seems to be getting worse (is the lifespan for engagement now only an hour or two?), is one reason I've pulled away from Twitter lately. Also, frequently you can tell who's using Twitter on a phone and who's using it on a computer, based on the quality and depth of their tweets.
I just thought of another example of "presentism." I was exercising and thought of life 150 years ago. Mostly silence (meaning much more reflective lives than ours) lots of death, hunger and work we aren't familiar with. But standpoint snobbery says that a person with dirt floors, the Bible, death, 60-year lifespan, back-breaking work, shouldn't be listened to as a marginalized voice (on the margins by race, religion, and rejection of history), but a foul-mouthed, fast-food eating, 8 hour per day TV watching, rap-listening, turning their nose at 16 years of free education, person living in a concrete building with heat and A/C and a food card, should be listened to. Or another contemporary example, Taylor Swift, a woman with such a past of men would not be celebrated.
"Shut up," she said. That was 4-years ago. How pitiful.
