If you’re not going to support marginalized folks, then we can’t be friends, let alone date. The personal is political.

Beyond the lovely cushioning, happiness and support that we receive from our platonic relationships (which are, in all honesty, soul-feeding and essential), feminists also date! But there are questions we have to ask before we get close to someone.

The following list of questions is applicable to all relationships — certainly not just cisgender, heterosexual ones:

Good question. I doubt it means anything, just liberal gibberish.

Me too.

The dating scene was tough enough to navigate 40 years ago when we all were stoned and wore bell-bottoms.

If it comes to that, you’re better off renting.

I don't think you'd have much of a shot anyway.

As a queer femme of color,

Let the lesbionics have this psycho.

Now, mind you, I couldn’t make myself get through the whole thing. But I think I have found the exact opposite of me. Which is strangely scientifically fascinating.

Wow this girl hit lots of liberal talking points didn’t she???

These could actually provoke some interesting discussions.

For example, yes, I do think that blacks lives matter. She would have to dig deeper with me to learn that I have nothing good to say about the organization known as black lives matter. But I do think that black lives matter because we’re all human beings and all of us deserve a decent life.

These questions hit all the high notes for being a leftist lunatic, that’s for sure!

‘People really talk like this?? ‘

What a compilation of buzzwords, cliches and groupthink.

’ She must be the life of the party ‘

Most people would find a party that she attends to be disgusting and unclean.

“What is an “intersectional feminist”?”

I’m guessing it is some thing or someone lost between the sofa cushions...
