So today in class we were discussing the Hillary vs Turmp debate
I said one of Trump’s biggest mistakes was constantly interrupting her and the moderator. Here he is, a cis white hetero man speaking loudly over a woman and a black man.
“That’s Tumblr culture!” a brony yelled from the back of the class as I spoke. A huge smile on his face with this seemingly winning statement despite 80% of the room not understanding the reference.
I kept trying to calmly explain it is not. It is a racial and cultural and sexist issue. It is a thing men constantly do, interrupting women.
And LISTEN LISTEN just as I’m saying this
HE I N T E R R U P T S M E
he legit interrupts a woman in order to say “women interrupt too!”
“Said the man while he interrupted me,” I deadpanned.
There was this sudden silence across the classroom. I couldn’t believe this. The Brony smiled, blind to his own undoing. The teacher looked like he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
But, sure, sure… men interrupting women is totally made up Tumblr culture.
