you’re not a superhero

About the safe­ty pins:

This ar­ti­cle makes grest points but it also mar­gin­al­izes av­er­age peo­ple.

Be­cause

I don’t see it as this per­son is a pro­tec­tor.

I see it as this per­son won’t turn and grab my pussy,

And won’t be a wild card when I sit on the sub­way seat next to them.

The safe­ty pin is not meant to be a badge, a sign that you are a su­per­hero.

And I feel every­one in­volved in protest­ing this pres­i­dent will need to be men­tal­ly pre­pared for the worst

but you don’t need to have Napoleon Dy­na­mite ‘skills’ to wear a pin in sol­i­dar­i­ty.

Some­times safe­ty in num­bers can be enough to fright­en that solo racist fuck who is scream­ing on the side­walk.
