the post is good in theory. But, yeah. He doesn't understand power dynamics. And he doesn't understand that a lot of us are beaten down by those power dynamics. I won't say that those people are oppressed, but they are more hesitant to speak out and say what they want. It's really, really hard when you've fought so hard and gotten nothing but people disbelieving you or writing you off as a headcase or whatever, y'know?
