Someone Elses Dream |
What if we had ideas that could think for themselves? What if one day our dreams no longer needed us? When these things occur and are held to be true, the time will be upon us. The Time of Fangirls. |

((OH MY GOD, THAT ILLUSTRATION.))
I’m just going to leave this here…
Oh here. Take my heart. Didn’t need it. Thanks.
BRB, I’m just gonna rip my heart out of my chest.
OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD.
HERE. TAKE MY FUCKING HEART. IT’S TOTALLY OKAY. I WASN’T USING IT ANYWAY. HERE. HAVE IT.

I have officially come to the conclusion that my dad - who I love with all the adoration of a from birth daddy’s girl mentality - and I will never agree on anything related to politics. Canadian politics, American politics, global politics…doesn’t matter.
My dad is a white heterosexual cis male who grew up in the ghetto - where I come from black people don’t live in the ghetto…poor white people do…it’s a Canadian thing maybe? IDK - the youngest of 3 boys raised by a single mother in the 50s.
I am a white pansexual cis female who grew up poor and watched her - amazing, determined, did I mention amazing? - parents scratch and claw their way into respectable middle class.
While my dad doesn’t have the ‘rich white guy’ mentality, he does have what I have come to discover is a disturbing level of white privilege mentality that makes it very difficult for him to understand my views on things.
I may be a white cis female, but my sexuality has always been something I have taken heat over - why won’t you pick a side already? If you like men why don’t you just marry a man and have babies like a normal girl? - an annoying occurrence I’m sure anyone who identifies as bi/pan/omnisexual has encountered. So straight off the bat I’m obviously a huge supporter of equality - EQUALITY FOR ALL as my blog tag declares - but there’s another thing my white cis father will never understand…
I live in British Columbia, Canada and as a white female born in Canada who’s parents were born in Canada…I AM A MINORITY IN MY PROVENCE. I am. It’s a fact that occasionally annoys me, but there’s not a bloody thing I can do about it so I try not to get too upset over it.
Provincial politics are NEVER geared towards me. They’re often geared towards my white cis male brother, but not towards me. My dad has never been a minority anywhere at any time in his life so asking him to think outside the box - and I’m calling this box white cis male privilege specifically - never goes well because he doesn’t understand that he’s in a box to begin with.
Today we were arguing about Obama and some of the issues - LGBTQ rights, universal health care, and the Occupy movement - and I realized, for the first time in my life, that we come at almost all the major issues from utterly divergent angles…and we don’t agree on much of anything.
He can’t understand that the repeal of DADT is a HUGE thing. He can’t understand that the universal acceptance of “gay” marriage - can I just say that I hate calling it ‘gay marriage’ and I would really just like to be able to call it ‘marriage’ - is NECESSARY FOR THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE. He can’t understand my feminist leanings - apparently I’m not repressed (OMG HAVE YOU NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO THE LAST 28 YEARS OF MY LIFE???) so why is it an issue - and he can’t understand why I’m so very passionate about the portrayal of POCs in film and television. Apparently white people shouldn’t care about the representation of POCs - specifically female POCs in this conversation - in film and television? Yeah I’m not really sure about his thinking on that one.
Oh wait. Yes I am.
If an issue doesn’t touch him personally, he doesn’t understand why I get so passionately up in arms about it. He doesn’t pay attention to social media or the internet in terms of issues and responses - he watches the news sometimes and checks msn.ca for daily updates on things - so he can’t really get his head around the idea that we - the internet collective - are talking about these things. That we’re making campaigns and arguing and banding together and keeping one another informed. He still looks at “the youth” and sees a bunch of idealists with no real information behind their decisions.
Oh dad. If you only knew. I try and explain it, but he’s never really come to terms with the idea that I’m smarter than he is - it’s a thing, my mom and I have discussed this at length - and, more importantly, that I’m better informed than he is because my information is personal and it comes from multiple sources.
I am no longer sure this post makes any kind of sense.
tl;dr: POLITICS ARE A CONTENTIOUS SUBJECT IN MY HOUSE BUT I LIKE TALKING ABOUT THEM ANYWAY EVEN WHEN IT MAKES ME WANT TO HULK SMASH.
