Hey what's up? Can we all just stop throwing terms like "rape apologist" and "misogynist" around so loosely? Those are two really powerful labels, and I believe using them as insults in YouTube arguments not only devalues those words, but trivializes the issues they're attached to. Here's an article that basically sums up my feelings on using words like these in an incorrect or inappropriate context.

Being confused about your body/sexual identity/role in society is nothing to be ashamed of. Obviously, some people have harder circumstances to overcome, but these are the things everybody goes through in their mid/early twenties. You shouldn't feel bad about this stuff. Nor should you attempt to make other people feel bad by accusing them of being horrible people, when really, they're just idiots.
We're all trying to make the world a better place. Don't lose sight of that.
