Other often heard 'favourites'" "It's not as big a problem as you're making it out to be." "I don't like your tone/Don't be so strident/Why do you have to sound so bitchy?/Angry/Lighten up!" Insisting that people only discuss indelicate issues in a tone which you find appropriate is a great way to silence people. That one annoy's the shit outta me because it insinuates a few social cues that are highly gendered. First, that as a woman I should be somehow accommodating of someone's 'sensitive nature' and secondly, that I should 'down grade' or 'soften up' my delivery. I'm sorry I can't talk about the rape and degradation of women and children in soft hushed whispers. If it sounds like it all really bothers me, it's because HEY! it REALLY BOTHERS ME! "Stop blaming the patriarchy" "Well, what about.... (insert other issue...global warming, the economy, etc etc) This diversionary tactic seeks to become a game of upsmanship, but in actuality it's just a way of trying to change the topic or shut someone up when the topic itself is upsetting/uncomfortable. That whole "you're just looking to be offended....." is both silencing/shaming and of course, resistant. It's used to subdue/stop/create tension. Know your truth and live it  F*ck 'em. Don't Be
