The whole title said basically what happened, and now this is something that happened on Friday, and I know it something I need to speak out about. To summarize, I live in a small town that is racist as fuck, and people don’t want that to change and actively go against anything anti-racist.
In a way, this is can be called a followed up to my last blog, but it really wasn’t meant to be one. I was inspired by watching a documentary, go figure. It was called After Parkland and it was on Hulu, and like the other documentary, I also cried a lot.
There is a common thread with the females in the military and this is something that I have personal experience with as someone who has served. We are all called fresh meat once we get on the ship, we call have to deal with male military members who believe that they can cross our personal boundaries and get away with it (because they can) and that we can’t trust the male members we serve with who are suppose to be our brothers.
I think that you must be incredibly brave to risk your life and health to go out in a pandemic to protest, and not even that you have to worry about the violence being incited by the police, that we have all seen, even if the media isn’t always reporting it truthfully. Just two months ago every state was under disaster declaration for the first time in U.S. history, and now every state is protesting against police brutality and for Black Lives Matter. If anything 2020 will go down in history.
On my friends list fairly recently a few of the people on my friends list mostly old Navy contacts and some from my hometown (So, it’s no surprise) have been criticizing toxic masculinity. The general consensus is that they feel like it’s an attack on men, which is very untrue of course, and anyone who can read a definition would be able to easily understand that. These are all people that I have unfollowed on facebook because I don’t need the stress, ignorance, or that in my life, so for a month or two I haven’t seen those post in my feed, hallelujah. The bigs critics are those who don’t even know what it is and to be honest I just don’t get it.
