Listening to the #WeCanDoHardThings (yes I listen lol) with ⁦@pronounced_ing. Noticing the impact of the host ⁦@GlennonDoyle⁩ using terms like “white fragility” & “patriarchy,” whereas Ng describes the same issues w/ more nuance & humanity. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/we-…
I’m not allergic to discussing these issues, but I find some people’s reliance on these terms reductive, bigoted, and a bit lazy, as if reaching for the proximate woke scapegoat (patriarchy = men bad; white fragility = white people bad). The terms feel dated and inadequate.
If we wanted to play the same game, we could point to Doyle as representative of the way liberal white women evangelize and fetishize the woke lexicon to the chagrin of everyone. A bit like Elena in Little Fires Everywhere, no? We would need a name for this :)
