once my white cis guy friend asked me how therapists do their jobs bc of the emotional stress & i can’t stop thinking about that. like WOW it is clear *SOMEONE’s* never experienced being a woman, an elder daughter, a queer person, an only child to a severely traumatized parent,
or has ever been expected to shoulder emotional weight & if you didn’t, you’d be abused? like oh my god WHAT there are people who expect therapy from me at my RESTAURANT JOBS!! men have threatened me with s*ic*de if I didn’t help them. you’re not expected to do much as a man huh
honestly just want to call him and say, hey, remember that one time you said the most bonkers your-privilege-is-showing shit to me ever
i love the friend in question dearly but i have thought about this over and over again with absolute shock. like I think of it and get so pissed lol
does this thread make any sense btw because i wrote it furiously. i feel like non-men are expected to handle emotionally devastating and draining convos for strangers but if a girlfriend goes to her boyfriend crying she’s insane. and this man imaging helping a multitude of ppl -
and being baffled by how tf they do that without breaking..... BRO.... I have done that shit for free my entire life...... ajjsskjdj
