Every time I read a complaint about having to do the dishes or working a dumb job, I like to imagine the complainer making their case to the kids who work 16 hour days to make their clothes.

    Life isn’t a pissing contest.

    There will always be someone with it worse.

    Oh you were molested as a kid. Well this other person was gang raped as a kid.

    Oh you were gang raped. Just once as a kid.

    Well this other person was trafficked and raped for years.

    Oh you were trafficked and raped for 5 years.

    Well this other person was also trafficked and raped for 10 years and also beaten every day.

    See how that “what about” b.s is not helpful. ?

    Injustices are not dismissed because something worse happened to someone else.
