Me And The Abstracted Persona of the Anti-Ism Community At Large

Me: *learns about implicit biases* I'm concerned my brain may be doing EVIL THINGS without consulting me! I don't want my brain to do EVIL THINGS. I must learn to prevent it from doing this

I've seen this--from both sides, mainly as an observer. Don't you love when people ultimately prevent the spread of awareness by limiting discussion?

I'm pretty much just lurking too - I haven't actually put forth any of these questions or complaints, just watched them played out on the various websites.

I am going to bother you!

I have had several conversations like this, and observed many more. Thank you for articulating the absurdity so well.

This is brilliant, thank you for writing it! I've had some similar concerns, but I haven't been able to express them quite so eloquently.

This rings really, really true.
i got myself banned from a feminist site within a few hours of my first comment. (Granted I was being downright unpleasant.)
