Oppressive nature of ass holes

I have a boyfriend, he's nerdy and cute and the sweetest guy I've ever met. He's the only thing stopping me from snapping right now.

On a less happy note; I hate how much my eyes have been open to different kinds of oppression. Mostly things I experience personally.

To that I say;

Dear boss, we as workers in the United States have the right to a healthy and safe work enviroment. I don't find you're racist jokes to be funny. I don't find it funny when you joke about abusive relationships people have actually been in, and I'm pretty sure most of us don't enjoy you making sexual inuendos and constant sexual remarks about other employees or customers. We actually don't have to put up with your attitude. By treating certain employees better based off of your liking of them and not on their ability, you're taking us out of our healthy enviroment.

Dear girl who won't be named,

I have every right to bitch about whatever I want to. So does anyone else. When someone is being wronged in this sense, their options aren't "suck it up" or "quit." To make a radical comparision, would you tell a black woman who was facing rascism to either suck it up or go somewhere else? No, because her rights are being violated. A less radical comparision: Would you tell a girl who was being bullied to either suck it up or quick school? No.

If there's a problem, you don't deal with it by ignoring it or by walking away unless those are your only options. You take action to change what's wrong. While you have every right to be annoyed and express your annoyance, it's also not that hard to block someone's updates or remove them from your friends list. That way you aren't demanding that someone give up their right to speak their mind. If you don't like drama, then don't talk about things that don't involve yourself. Plain and simple. If you don't like that people actually want to confront the problems at work, "suck it the fuck up or quit, no one is stopping you."

Oh wait, NO ONE is in a possition to quit their jobs right now. Otherwise why would you put up with all this drama that you apparantly hate?



And of course,
Dear co-workers,

Maybe I'm the only one who actually DOESN'T like being pissed off every day at work. I'm thinking I am, because NO ONE wants to stand up for themselves. You face open discrimination and do nothing about it but sit back and accept it as normal. It's not okay. I made the offer to have you all stand up with me, and you all back down in cowerdace. I'm ashamed, in a sense.

XoXo,
S
