@johnlegend it's just really trite. Literally everyone in the world has female relatives.
Stop picking fucking nits. This is about empathy and having women in your life you who love. We’re not all goddam utility bots @pattonoswalthttps://twitter.com/johnlegend/status/784579802363723777 …

mentioning your female relatives in denouncing Trump is performative ritual more than empathy.
-
maybe performative, but it’s Carnegie F'ing Hall to point out your moral superiority is bloodless and abstract.
-
I disagree that saying Trump's comments are repugnant without invoking specific women you know is "bloodless"
-
when we denounce racism is it performatively bloodless that we dont all start by listing black friends? Of course not.
-
the silly "I am personally affected because I know a woman" angle does not enhance the moral case against Trump's vileness
-
I don’t disagree. But if “as a father of daughters” is just throat-clearing, what does that make you making a huge deal of it?
-
"as a father of two daughters" suggests that having daughters somehow reveals the vileness. That's wrong.

@johnlegend only empathizing with groups you have in your life bodes poorly for Muslims in Iowa. :/ -
a 20 hour conversation. Insistence that we all be bloodless global utility-apps is you empathizing with people who think like you.
