Was thinking today that emotional labour is not infinite and what we are currently seeing is people running out of it. In some ways this is terrifying - so many people done in by 2017. But others empowering - because when women run out of fucks, some stories finally get told.Permalink On twitter.com

One of the many problems with that shitty blogpost from chief twit @ YC was it assumed there is no cost to hearing the bullshit other than boredom. But there IS as we have seen over and over this year - the manifestbro, all the hate from the fascist regime.Permalink On twitter.com

It’s EXHAUSTING and it has a cost and the way we deal with it is emotional labour. Emotional labour propping each other up. Emotional labour explaining to those who can maybe be explained to. Emotional labour because Manfeelings demand it. All of this is emotional labour.On twitter.com

And when that reserve of emotional labour is running low you better believe some shit is gonna come out. Let there be fireworks in 2018.Permalink On twitter.com

To all these men complaining about “PC culture” and “harmless flirting” I have thought more about every man who has touched me inappropriately without my consent more in the last month than in the last three years before that. Do you think I give a shit about your feelings here?Permalink On twitter.com

Watching these revelations come out is TRAUMATISING to every woman who has been objectified in this way. Which is, btw, most of us. Men need to stop demanding the emotional labour from women for their feelings on this topic. Understand: it’s run out. That’s why we are here.Permalink On twitter.com
