What’s it like being 21 and older

Ruby Bridges was the first black child to desegregate the all-white William Frantz Elementary School in Louisiana during the New Orleans school desegregation crisis in 1960.

This movie made me cry, I was so heart broken by how Ruby Bridges was treated! She was only 6, but was so strong. She is a very brave girl and she did not care what the white folks called her.

People are simply disgusting to minimize people by skin color!

Ruby you might not think you’re a hero… But to other people you are! You are A HERO and you are A PERSON WHO MADE AMERICA CHANGE!

What’re some strategies you’ve used to shut down sexism when you encounter it? Like I never know what to say when it happens. Do you have some sentence frames or something thatve been effective?

It’s not complicated and dramatic for me like it was when I was 20. I’ve said stuff as simple as:

“Dude, you can’t say shit like that about her. It’s so disrespectful.”

“You’re taking your anger toward one woman and using it to judge all women. What if someone you were into did that to you?”

“You have to understand that women have to be more on the defensive about guys and respect that boundary no matter what your intentions are.”

“If you don’t like her profile then just don’t message her. Sending her mean shit is just bullying and you’re honestly too old for that.”

These are all paraphrases I can remember telling guy friends. I used to think I had to have a sit down conversation and quote bell hooks and shit, but it’s literally as simple as vocally and explicitly letting them know the behavior isn’t appropriate.

Do they instantly become feminists overnight? No. But do they respond to consistent correction done with care by someone who they’re cool with, someone who’s still there to grow with them the next day? Yeah, they do.
