The Fact That An Adult Whom I Saw As Progressive And Trustworthy For Once Has Such Toxic And Conservative Beliefs When It Comes To Marriage - Tumblr Posts

having flashbacks to the time my 11th grade sociology teacher called our generation selfish for not liking marriage bc we're depleting the future workforce i.e. children just bc we want to 'get married to our phones and social media' and implied how everyone gets married someday as everyone desires romance and sex the fact that an adult whom i saw as progressive and trustworthy for once has such toxic and conservative beliefs when it comes to marriage really hurt me to the point where i thought of myself as selfish for a second what hurts even more is the fact that she was most likely quite respectful of lgbtq+ people (at least in public) and her values and beliefs related to society align more with our generation than her own e.g. religion and gender it felt extremely personal too as she has been my one of my favourite teachers that i actually look up too atp no one i know is respectful or even tolerant of people who don't like romance or sex. let alone know what aros and aces are aphobia arophobia acephobia amatonormativity tw aphobia tw arophobia tw acephobia aromantic aro aromanticism aromance asexual ace asexuality aromantic asexual aroace lgbt lgbtq vent vent post
