&I will arise, with scars on my thighs., GK, I really do appreciate reading what you have to say. A lot of what I learn about feminism I learn from this blog. I first learned about being privileged here, because I’m straight, white, and cis-gendered. I first learned about ableism here, and all sorts of other things… I think it’s a great thing that you talk about these issues. It’s informative and a lot of people don’t know about this stuff. I know I don’t, and I don’t want to be ignorant. So I read blogs like yours. So continue!! :)

So Disclaimer: I’m sorry if this message seems rude, I might have read it wrong and I’m having a bad day.

I don’t know how closely you read this blog or whether you read the last post properly but my Dad is dying. Dying in the sense of having less than a year to live. I’m not here to educate you (although I’ve very glad I’ve helped) and when my Dad is dying I’m not going to be focusing my blog on making sure it’s informative for all.

When I blog about feminism, I have to do a lot of research - which requires all my time and energy. Time and energy that quite frankly, I need to focus on other things, such as my Dad’s impending death and my last year of my degree - a last year I can’t afford to flunk because of money and because my Dad want’s to see me graduate, and he’s not exactly got time to spare.

Also, when I blog about privilege and feminism I get a lot of hate from feminists with the same privileges as you. I’m a bi-sexual, poor, mentally unwell feminist, and I’m not liked. But at the moment, I don’t really want to deal with all the rape threats and death threats that I get.

I’m no going to stop blogging about those things, but I am going to focus on subjects that require less energy from me and I need you to respect that. I’m sure you were trying to be supportive in this message (and I’m sorry if I have read it wrong), but to me this just felt like you want me to continue blogging so you can learn - even tough it could potentially damage me.
