I think I will have to start a collection of silly quotes I find online because there are many of them and they are truly priceless. See this one for example:
Openly loving women, in a society premised on oppressing women, is prolly one of the most radical things you can do.
I found it here. It’s good to know that there are things that are even more subversive than not shaving one’s arm-pits, of course. However, the quote makes very little sense. Crowds of people openly love their wives, girlfriends, mothers, sisters, female friends, grandmothers, aunts, etc. Many folks even go so far as to love other people’s wives, girlfriends, mothers, sisters, female friends, grandmothers, aunts, etc. What’s so radical about this?
Or are we talking about loving all women in the world as some kind of a unified whole? Well, to use the term I discussed in my previous post, this is just creepy. What would you say about a person who proclaimed they loved Jews? Or Nigerians? Or Ukrainians?
And I’m not even going to get started on “a society premised on oppressing women.”
So then I researched this quote and discovered that it was initially a tweet that many people picked up, retweeted, reposted, and reblogged. This is even more proof that only the silliest statements make it to Twitter popularity.
