racism, feminism, etc ism are mostly dumb meaningless 1st world problems because people have nothing better to do. go to any struggling country, they dont give a fuck about race jokes and feminine portrayal, etc, because they have REAL fucking problems to deal with... like finding fresh water and figuring out how they are going to feed their family. take all this passion you have for this meaningless topic and focus it into some real humanitarian crisis. there are plenty out there, and you cant do shit about it from your keyboard. it takes real action. you fucking keyboard heroes make me sick

Most civil rights issues in the US are hobbies of privileged people, who above all want to make sure we do not start to question the thing that gives them their privilege. The economic system.
Better to draw attention to women's rights, race, which are *very real* -- but they are also distractions.
"Let them eat civil rights."
I prefer a world in which we have both social and economic justice. But until we stop allowing ourselves to be divided and distracted by these subsidiary and often merely symptomatic problems, we will get lots of rights and social mini-revolutions, while the broader trend toward a global oligarchy proceed unimpeded. Now call me a "communist" and go back to your distractions.
