The entirety of a short Tumblr post from Brute Reason, 2013-06-26:

So I'm always hearing all this stuff about feminism, anti-racism, etc. "going too far."

What would "going too far" look like? How would we know when these movements have "gone too far"? Perhaps when a particular gender, race, or sexual orientation starts being privileged above all others? When women occupy the majority of political and business leadership positions, and make decisions about men's reproductive health for them? When police officers are mostly people of color, and they stop and frisk innocent white people on the streets? When people who want to marry someone of the opposite sex have to move to another state, and wait with bated breath while the Supreme Court rules on whether or not they deserve rights?

DOES IT NOT OCCUR TO YOU THAT THIS LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE WORLD WE HAVE NOW, SO PERHAPS YOU SHOULD ADMIT THAT THE WORLD WE HAVE NOW IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH?
