msilverstar: (drowning in splooge)

People say hurtful things, I'm still having trouble not saying "gyp" when I mean "cheat". But apologizing is the right response, rather defending the hurtful things we say, insisting that our casual racist slurs are more important than other people's feelings. People think pinching women's asses was a way of expressing friendship: damn straight that's not politically correct any more!

Yeah, I know, it's not always easy. And I do understand the defensive reaction - I've been there myself, I'm sure! I just wish people would see how incredibly unhelpful it is...
