I want to talk about the harmful fiction that is the culture of "strength."
-
-
About how this warrior culture is continued by a privileged group that desperately envisions themselves as heroes, but wither at challenge.
-
But I don't know how to talk about these outside of some of my own experiences. So idk. I'm not strong enough to blast those to the internet
-
That's ok, I don't want to be.
-
Praising strength is often a poor stand-in for actual empathy. It's easier and it looks good. But it's not the same.
-
It's ok to admire resilience or a sense of duty. It's ok to be inspired by persistence. But it can't stop there.
-
this is an amazing thread. Thanks.
