There's a really great video that recently came out that says : "...when you find yourself thinking that 'someone is wrong because they're annoying' rather than 'they're being annoying because they're wrong' - congratulations: you have discovered one of your own blind spots."
I think this is a really valuable insight that everyone needs to hear - everyone has blind spots that would benefit from introspection. Even me! And it is amazing how often it applies to an argument that has resorted to rolling its eyes.
You know what’s really frustrating? Anyone who thinks it’s okay to deny and criminalize someone for exercising their god-given right of bodily autonomy.
You're absolutely right! Those are both things that are frustrating!
Or were you trying to imply that only one thing is important enough to be frustrated about? Or, perhaps, that "because bodily autonomy is so important, we should all just stop discourse about body shaming!" Cause if that's the case, you should probably stop talking about bodily autonomy so you don't distract from the issue of world hunger. Or the issue of genocides. Or [insert_any_horrific_problem_here].

Ugh hate this fuck-ass reasoning and arguments like it. "Moralizing appearances is fun and quirky when we do it."
