I award you no points

Things I’ve Heard on Tumblr That Continue to Astound and Confuse Me:

extreme-irrelevancy:

“Things like “stand up for your rights” “I hear you” or “I see what you mean” are ableist.”

“It’s ageist to say that it’s creepy for older men to be attracted to much younger women”

“Promoting a job position with phrases like “job promotion based on ability” is proof we live in an ableist culture”

“The word Slacktivist is ableist”

Speaking broken English to maids that don’t know very much English is patronizing, but speaking English as you would normally is kind of ableist.

Oh goodness. *sigh*

*Slowly raises an eyebrow*

I’m trying to work out how “I see what you mean” is ableist.

Blind people won’t be able to see it…

Look I’m down with being sensitive to other people and their problems, I am. But there is a point that we get to where it’s just plain fucking ridiculous. I’m sorry, but saying “we’ll see” is not fucking ableist.
