I'm tired of this (in everyone, including me)

People without privilege are used to being cross-questioned and denied validity and 'splained at and etc. by people who have privilege. And so I think many of us are on a hair trigger, especially after we've just been reminded of how we're devalued. But when you are furious over someone politely correcting you when you are factually incorrect, or you pretend a central fact of your argument wasn't actually central in order to yell at someone, or when you make a sweeping statement about the way everyone should feel and telling everyone who doesn't feel precisely the way you would like them to that they are basically evil, or when you condemn children for the sins of their fathers...

Please take a deep breath and count to ten. Take a warm bath. Or a cold one, if that's your thing. Walk the cat. Just because you are not a cis straight rich white able-bodied male, that doesn't mean you're incapable of being an asshole. And we're all assholes from time to time, because we're all human. That's what this whole thing is about, right?
