Good evening from Los Angeles. I am 23 now and I haven’t been on this site for a while. Is there anybody on here that still use tumblr?
People willfully misrepresenting his argument are acting pretty trashy.
His first statement is saying boys need men to navigate manhood (and it’s disingenuous to remove it from the context of black boyhood, but many wanna ignore that part). To refute that is to suggest that a man is gonna understand what it’s like to be a woman. Or that straight cis people are gonna understand what it’s like to navigate gay/trans adulthood. We know those to be untrue, yet it becomes controversial to say boys need men?
And while that malnourished remark was pretty bad, he immediately deleted and apologized for it as it wasn’t representative of his views.
He has said, multiple times, he does not believe single or queer parents lack in care. Only that children need representation.
I am so sick and tired of when a person who has done unremarkable good and care and takes action on important issues messes up their wording and meaning ONE TIME and suddenly they are canceled garbage. I was dissapointed in him here too, but just like famao said he regretted it and understood his mistake later, and he isn’t actually wrong in what he was TRYING to say but said it in the very wrong way. He was trying to say representation is important for children to see at a young age in their immediate lives, not that its essential that kids only have a traditional mother and father. You can have rep in your family in OTHER ways, I think that is what he meant.
