2. If you're white, you can say white people are racist without actually being a racist. Recognizing racism does not make you racist. It means you can make observations.
3. Just because someone is a criminal, does not mean they deserve to die for it. Especially if their crime was minor theft, minor drug charges, or resisting arrest.
4. You don't have to police everyone's political correctness to call yourself a feminist. Everyone is at risk of being "offended." No one is perfect. We're all just trying to make it through this life as best we can.
5. You can love men, realize that men are also damaged by the patriarchy, and are subjected to double standards AND still call yourself a feminist. No, really. It's that whole "equal and equitable" thing.
6. You can be pro-life AND pro-choice. One is about wanting children to have healthy and love-filled lives. The other is about minding your own fucking business.
7. Getting reimbursed for the preservation and transportation of fetal tissue is not "selling baby parts." At least not any more so than hospitals get reimbursed for organ donations or cadaver donations.
8. You don't actually have to bake anyone a damn cake. You DO have to obey the law and not discriminate.
9. LIKEWISE, no one has to bake you a cake and you don't have to sue everyone who says they disagree with your marriage. However, if you file a complaint on the basis of discrimination and your family life is disrupted and you risk losing an adoption case because bigots can't be professional business owners, you should absolutely mop the floor with them in court. Just realize that they'll raise donations for what they owe and bigots will help bigots succeed.
10. Celebrating size diversity in our society and allowing people of size to feel like they're valued is NOT promoting obesity. One is about loving yourself/others. The other is a medical condition that is either a result of a combination of issues or a symptom of something else. Stop pretending you care about the"health" of obese people. You don't. You just hate fat people for the sheer fact that they're fat. If you cared about their health, you'd do more than tell them they're fat. Believe me, they're aware of it.
11. Fat doesn't mean unhealthy the way skinny doesn't mean healthy. If you aren't that person's doctor, you don't know anything about their health. Kindly fuck off.
12. You don't have to put someone else down to lift yourself up. If you have to say that people are less for you to be more, then you didn't really earn the accomplishment.
13. You don't have to put yourself down to lift someone else up. No one likes to feel guilty that they accomplished something.
There are probably more, but this was the best way for me to summarize a whole slew of feelings.
