Some people are allergic to fools. When they see others being treated poorly, or ridiculous statements being thrown around, or insults served without shame, they feel an urge to stand up and remind everyone that this world is a place for justice.
And if you've been an avid user on social media like most of us, you know how much nonsense is spilled there every day. Luckily, a fair share of people don’t miss their chance to share a social justice take publicly, because every illuminating, educating, and clarifying post helps.
And this Facebook page known as “Feminist Info” is a great place for putting a spotlight on the issues that matter but don't get talked about enough. This also means that the page has a wonderful collection of social justice takes spotted online, and below we selected some of the best examples.

I want to sell t-shirts that read: "I am more than a uterus!" but I'm sure the incels would burn my house down or something.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” the iconic words from a moving letter from Birmingham jail were written by MLK Jr. in 1963. The powerful sentence followed: “We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny.” While MLK Jr. was specifically talking about racism in America and the necessity of all people to stand up for injustice wherever they see it, it showed how we are all connected in many more ways than we think. So a simple gesture of standing up against injustice, whether online or in real life is incredibly important.

There's a scary rash of people these days who believe it's politically cool to not believe in science in general
Even though many people realize the importance of calling out the injustice, whether it’s racism or homophobia, there has been a disturbing increase in hate speech in the U.S. in recent years. A recent report by the Special Rapporteur on minority issues, Dr Fernand de Varennes, showed that the “efforts in the fight against ‘the tsunami of hate and xenophobia in social media’ appear to be largely failing because hate is increasing, not diminishing.”
"In many countries, three-quarters or more of the victims of online hate speech are members of minority groups. Women belonging to these groups are disproportionately targeted,” he reported in a speech during the 13th Forum on Minority Issues at the Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland.

I would hope my daughter would be the a** ole. Must remember to teach her to be more a** holeish
"Too often, hate speech is followed by hate crimes and violence," says de Varennes. "It can too easily prepare the ground for dehumanization and scapegoating of minorities, and for normalizing hate. We need to learn from history and place all our efforts in erasing hate speech from the online space."

Wanting to do ballet, doesn't make your son gay. Wanting to be a cheerleader, doesn't make your son gay. Wanting to do performing arts, doesn't make your son gay. The only thing that makes your son gay is their attraction to men, something that neither they or anyone else can control.
Hate speech and bigotry aside, it’s impossible not to notice how judgemental social media can be. Too many people online and especially minorities have experienced poor treatment and harsh criticism. What makes it particularly hard is the fact that we as a society have a lot to improve when it comes to calling out injustice and standing up for those who are vulnerable.

Our healthcare is a mess, still better than the US but needs to be more socialised now that the government can afford it
At the same time, it’s important to dig deeper into the reasons behind a judgemental attitude. We reached out to Dr. Lise Deguire, clinical psychologist and author of a multiple award-winning book “Flashback Girl: Lessons on Resilience From a Burn Survivor” who shared some eye-opening insights.
In most cases, Dr. Deguire argues, those who judge others tend to be just as harshly judgemental about themselves. “In my clinical experience, the people who are most judgmental towards others are secretly the most harshly judgemental towards themselves. Inside, these people are highly self-critical. It is no wonder then that they treat others the same way they treat themselves, critically and harshly. Frequently, when these people learn to be more loving and accepting towards themselves, they also become more tolerant and sympathetic towards others,” Dr. Deguire explained.

@Miven's post... I think this is a valid question and didn't deserve all the downvotes. People on here need to realize that sometimes sarcasm does not come through in writing - especially if English is not their primary language. Maybe just nicely explain instead of getting their account suspended with downvotes.

And men don't owe women anything either. But every woman alive wants their man to buy them everything they want not necessarily NEED. And to protect them from whatever is out there and don't want to do anything to earn that care and protection.

I gave birth to a miracle baby, I had PCOS and endometriosis. As soon as she was born my mother told me to go ahead and start trying for another. Literally within two hours of birthing my child. She was 14 when I finally had to have a hysterectomy and up to the day of my surgery my mother kept telling me to have another child. Seriously people, stay in your own lane. If you want six kids then have them. Of you don't want kids don't have them. If you only want one then only have one. Don't judge people for their life choices. I tell my kids that the only thing they owe society is not to be a criminal.

Teachers do so much yet it is an abomination that so many of them make so little in the United States. They’re expected to be educators, counselors, babysitters and yet so many of them never receive credit for what they do. The US really has horrible wage gaps for so many hardworking professions.

This is driving me insane at the moment. My daughter is 5 and everyone keeps asking if/when we will have another one 😡 I have PCOS, a rare genetic condition which makes pregnancy hard (no risk of offspring having it it as my husband isn't a carrier) and had 2 miscarriages in the last 2.5 years!! My husband can't escape the questions either, why are people so obsessed with this?

My wife and I can't have kids and every time somebody asks 'When are you having children?' it feels like a small dagger to the heart. When we explain it to them, you can see them shut down and try to get away as if we are carrying an incurable disease. All because we can't share the common ground of parenthood on which to forge a relationship. It saddens me.

THIS. I also don't like when I'm asked if I have kids, and say no, I get a condescending "well that's okay" as if I need the validation. Yes, I know it's okay! Also, people trying to reassure me that I'd be good mom because they assume me not having kids is because I think I might be a bad one. Wtf?

Some others: because he doesn't want to, because he has fertility issues/vasectomy, because he has mental health problems. Stop criticising women (and only women) for not having kids when it takes two to make a baby.

People have stopped asking me about children, thankfully. But, my aunt has this 'joke' she likes to fall back on whenever my sister's or I have to see a doctor. "Don't tell me you're pregnant." She doesn't use it with me very often anymore but she still uses it with my sisters and I absolutely hate hearing it.

Hi. I also never had an abortion, but I support it. We need to have a choice
At the same time, judgment hurts people from the inside out. Dr. Deguire explained that people's judgment and criticism of us feel absolutely terrible, sometimes even devastating. “When this happens, the first thing to do is to notice your own pain and distress and to treat yourself kindly. It hurts, plain and simple. Having compassion for your pain will help you bear it.”
“Once you have recovered from the hurt of being judged, it is good to remember that anyone judging you that harshly is probably in a lot of pain themselves,” Lise said and added that awareness may help you to move beyond the hurt of the moment.

The issue is more that somehow a lot of the people who say that "happens to men too" - don't seem to actually do anything about it except mentioning that to a woman when the issue is raised. They are usually the first to ridicule other men who try to talk about the issue. In other words - if the only reason you mention that it happens to men is just to try and silence women - you're still a !@$#!@

If you need this explained to you: Less than 1% of all known types of bacteria will make you ill, yet we still use bacteria as a "dirty" word. That is because the 1% can seriously mess you up so it's better to be careful and try to protect yourself against them.

Because we've been brainwashed to think our existence is not of value if we aren't killing ourselves working the entire time. Convinced by politicians and corporations that it's supposed to be like this. All the while they live it up wanting for nothing and doing whatever they want. Constantly telling us that it's not possible for us to live even a decent comfortable life.

Too many parents keep having kids counting on the older ones to help. Yet if that 16yo decided to have a kid of their own, those same parents would flip. If they aren't ready for their own kid, they shouldn't be parenting yours.

you wanna hear something truly heartbreaking? I am a heavy woman, and honest to God, the only time I've EVER been loudly, verbally assaulted in public by someone else for my weight, it was another woman. Absolutely ridiculous. Soon as women start turning on each other this way, then that means all the chauvinistic, Patriarchy-loving a-holes have won. That, plus what's going on right now with Roe v. Wade overturning, it's a rough time to be a woman....

Growing up looking more like a girl than a boy in the naughty 80s brought me perspectives on both sides. Progress have definitely happened over the past 4 decades, this I'm sure just by observation. It's also true some has regressed like the US and because of political use of religion as propaganda. At this stage, I can only see these progress stopping if people start being partisan or absolutely binary about things. It's never us vs them. It's always about finding a middle ground.
