đź’Żman. My working class parents, for instance, would never in a million years call themselves feminists. But my mom taught me how to change a tire and deal with bullies (punch them hard), and my dad taught me to cook and how to put any baby to sleep. https://twitter.com/dumbandawful/status/1327428125979009027
They had very gendered jobs lol. My mom was a teacher and my dad a computer fix it dude that did auto and home repair work on the side. Our household just was not fun that way. Him and my mom both knew how to cook and fix a furnace.
But they would look at you sideways with all the Twitter sanctimonious gibble gabble. Sometimes they use words to describe things or people that are outdated lol. But a lot of working class people, particularly black folks, live more equitable lives than the public shamers
