psa: equality is not favoring one over the other, nor does it mean you treat the majority like shit.
women want equality, but it suddenly doesn’t mean men are the most awful people on earth and don’t deserve to exist.
poc want equality, that doesn’t give you a reason to treat white people like they’re scum.
trans* people want equality, however this doesn’t mean cis people are suddenly vile and awful.
queer people want equality, this doesn’t mean anyone who is heterosexual is completely irredeemable.
listen. i get it. it sucks when you meet someone of the majority and they turn out to be a shitty person. it sucks living your life mostly meeting these shitty people. it’s absolutely shitty to feel like the majority simply just doesn’t understand and never will. as someone who’s hispanic, female, and pansexual, trust me i’ve been there, it’s awful. it can make you miserable and angry, and sometimes when you feel miserable and angry, you get really heated about it. i understand completely.
but you know what?
that’s still not an excuse to generalize. it’s not okay to reblog posts constantly going on about how much white people suck and are awful, just like it’s not okay to constantly yell about the “vile cis scum” or how dumb straight people are. just because you’re in the minority doesn’t give you a pass to be shitty. i know there are shitty people in the majority, and you’re free to be as furious about that as you want.
but don’t generalize.
because equality?
equality means both sides have to treat each other well. so stop treating each other like shit. it helps nothing, and it harms the equality effort as a whole.

A tourist has had a lucky escape after being trapped on a remote Australian island for two weeks by a monster six-metre (20-foot) crocodile, reports said Monday.
The New Zealander, identified only as Ryan, was dropped with his kayak on Governor Island off Western Australia’s far north by boat and had been intending to paddle the four kilometres (2.5 miles) back to the mainland.
He told his rescuer, Kalumburu resident Don Macleod, that every time he tried to kayak away from the island, the giant reptile stalked him. So he stayed on dry land, despite diminishing food and water supplies, for fear of being eaten.
“He said he was there for a fortnight and he came to the conclusion very quickly that he couldn’t get off there without attracting this crocodile that lives in that area and probably was watching him all the time,” Macleod told the ABC.
“So he was reduced then to trying to conserve his water and signal (for help).”
Macleod said he was familiar with the crocodile which roamed the island, which has no fresh water source.
“That crocodile, I’ve seen him several times actually going by quite fast,” he said.
“One day he just happened to surface alongside me as I was going past and my boat’s 20 foot long so he was well up towards the 20-foot mark.”
Macleod said he only went to investigate on Saturday after spotting a light on Governor Island and came across the distressed man.
“I went across and Ryan came out looking a bit distraught,” he told the broadcaster. “He came down the beach, he had no hat on and no shirt on.
“He was relieved and shocked, and thankful someone had come along because he was running out of options pretty quickly. He is a very, very lucky man.”
“He was desperate for water when I trotted up. We gave him a cold beer, which was probably the wrong thing, and then he went to sleep about three-quarters of the way home.”
The New Zealander is reportedly recovering on the mainland.
Saltwater crocodiles, which can grow up to seven metres long and weigh more than a tonne, are a common feature of Australia’s tropical north.
Last month a man was snatched by a large crocodile in front of horrified onlookers as he swam in a river in the Northern Territory.
