liberal arts classes are mostly about "you should be able to communicate complex ideas in writing" and this kills arrogant students who feel they should not have to learn this skill and when they get a poor mark on a thesis-less, passive voice-filled ramble they blame it on bias
you will not have a math professor fail you for putting down the right answers on a test. you will however have a history professor mark you down for choosing to write an essay that disagrees with his or her own personal beliefs

This is exactly what you'd write when you got a bad grade because you are bad at demonstrating mastery of a complex subject via language but are just in total ignorance that it is even a skill that can be developed or tested
I took a gender studies class and I agreed with the entire curriculum but I still had to obsess over every verbal and written interaction so I could come across as a “real” feminist and not as a “male feminist.” if I hadn’t developed ppl skills by then it would’ve been so over

"born this way" is just the negation of "it's just a choice"
But it approximates what is the genuine personal experience of a lot of lgbt+ people.
I think it's fine to recognize some lgbt+ really do feel they were "born that way" while also recognizing it's not the only story.

The hell of right wing spaces is you think they're all normal and affable people, but then you get into the politics with someone and you realize they genuinely believe Democrats are conjuring millions of votes from nothing and that hispanics can never assimilate
Once saw an organizer speak about some covert work she had done infiltrating right wing spaces. She expected it to be hell & instead, found short meetings, comfy chairs, music, food, laughter, people brought their children, etc.
She was like "WE are failing the vibe check"

Helpful to think about the importance of gun control with concrete examples.
This guy, sitting in his driver's seat, could not have impulsively killed one person and attacked a witness with any other kind of weapon. This encounter was made deadly by the presence of the gun.
Samuel Gomez had been in downtown Portland all of four hours when he took this chilling photo of a financier who had just fatally shot a stranger during a road rage episode.
Seconds later: The driver shot Gomez.

The way you train people not to overuse passive voice or the verb "to be" is by setting a strict rule so they are forced to flex that muscle, so that when they are more advanced they can choose those styles when they are actually the best choice rather than out of habit.

"the ick" is just "are you saying I can't have preferences??" for girls
At it's core is the popular idea that feelings of attraction or revulsion should never be examined, their root cause never questioned, and, even where irrational or nonsensical, cannot be criticized.
'the ick' is the most protestant sexual concept in recent memory, with emphasis on asexual childishness ('the ick') and social/physical purity (be clean/nice, not cringe/gross). in catholic erotic theology, blood, embarrassment, shame and disgust can be incorporated into desire.
