Things you didn't learn about in school for a reason

Privilege and oppression

Ableism specifically

I see we didn't learn how to properly format a list in school either. Commas are your friend, dear.

Disability history

The social model of disability

This is actually taught. So either you weren't paying attention, or you chose to get your information from a more dubious source, like tumblr.

Neurodiversity

Neurotypical psychology

My own neurotype

Well, you would ordinarily learn that in college while studying neurology. But hey, if you learned it from tumblr, more power to you, doctor.

Self-acceptance/self-love

Internalized oppression

...You learned self acceptance and internalized oppression at the same time. So you love yourself, but you opppres yourself with your thought patterns. Makes perfect sense.

Normativity

Intersectionality

These are made up words. You are making up words. School is not going to teach you about every word in the dictionary, let alone words in the UrbanDictionary.

Representation

Somewhere, a yankee rebel soldier shouts "NO TAXATION WITHOUT... without... ?... oh god damn it what was that word again? Samuel! Ay, Sam! What was that thing we wanted again? Damn, this is frustrating. I wish Google was invented so I could look this shit up!"

That LGBT aren’t the only queer identities

They're the only ones that matter(ed) for tax purposes. So, yeah, they're the only ones recognized by state and federal governments.

Pronouns

What the hell kind of shitty school did you go to that didn't teach pronouns? That's kind of a basic building block of writing.

Consent

Really? School didn't teach you to ask permission? You just took a leak on the carpet without asking the teacher if you could go to the bathroom?

Rape culture

Again, you're making things up. School teaches on things that actually exist.

Feminism

Pretty sure history classes cover the suffrage movement. Those were the real feminists.

Healthy/abusive relationships

School doesn't teach you about life. Go out and have some actual relationships instead of sitting scared in your bubble if you want to learn about this.

Class dismissed.
