How do you deal with misogynistic or homophobic language from people you care about? I’ve been trying to keep my dad from saying “dyke” for the past four years with zero progress. (He just kind of laughs whenever I say anything against it because I’m such a silly little creature, yaknow.) I have a twin brother who I love deeply but who is even…[Read more]

With one family member, I finally just said “These things you say hurt me. Seriously. You’re my aunt; why don’t you care that you’re hurting me?” It didn’t change…[Read more]

You probably saw this if you looked at the feministe link, but this is really helpful: http://www.illdoctrine.com/2008/07/how_to_tell_people_they_sound.html
Another thing I think you need to figure out is if you’re dealing with the virulent, down-to-their-bones kind of hate or the privilege-denying-cluelessness. If it’s the former, there’s kind…[Read more]
