Selfishness is putting the wants of yourself over the needs of others.
Self respect is putting the needs of yourself over the wants of others.
One is disregarding others, one is taking care of yourself.
The difference between the two is the difference between being a friend and a doormat.
Taking care of yourself does not make you a bad person.
I repeat:
Taking care of yourself does not make you a bad person.

i am 150% DONE with hearing all you non-asian bitches call your nail techs “ling ling”.
dont fucking think that shit is okay. im constantly hearing this shit, along with you bitches complaining about how people who work in nail salon’s speak their own language while in your holy presence. its their first language for god’s sake. it comes much more easier and naturally to them, why wouldnt they speak it? if youre so uncomfortable with it, take your fucking business elsewhere because these women work way too hard to get disrespected with crude, racist comments.

“ling ling needs to hurry up with my nails” shut. the. entire. fuck. up.
^^^^^^
I worked at a nail salon last year and when the nail techs spoke to each other in their native languages, it was almost always to coordinate things like “hey you, make sure to help that customer gets some slippers on” or “that customer needs to pay 25 dollars” or “hey can you cover the front desk?”… or even just talking… about their weekend or something…. like you’d talk to your co-workers yk?
Yet non asian customers are always so rude and suspicious that we are somehow talking shit about them. Like… trust me. They have got better shit to talk about.
When laughter bubbles up after an exchange of excited vietnamese or chinese words, customers are so quick to assume that they are talking shit when they’re literally just talking about something funny that happened last night. Or something silly one of their kids or spouses did. Or a pun.
And honestly, if they -were- talking shit about you, you probably deserved it bc you were a rude or unpleasant customer.
Asian workers get ridiculed by non asians so much for how our language sounds smh.
^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah and they have the audacity to mock their accents….childish bullshit i swear

- Western Feminists: Magical Girls is such an empowering genre! Finally a great space where girls can be comfortable being girls! Feminism for young women!
- Japanese Feminists: It's fine if you enjoy the shows but we've stated about a dozen times now that we don't find the Magical Girl genre to be progressive in the slightest. Not only do they continue to enforce the very strict gender roles for women in Japan that we've been trying to combat, but a lot of the more contemporary shows are made by otaku men for other otaku men and the young girl characters are often sexualized. Are you listening to us?
- Western Feminists: GIRL POWER!!!! :)
