Dual Standards

[davidgillon]

Seeing a lot of disabled people commenting on twitter about how everyone seems to be condemning Will Smith, but no one seems to be discussing Chris Rock using a world-wide bully-pulpit to punch down at a woman with an auto-immune disease. (And everyone else with a visible difference).

As a friend noted, that just an hour on from an actually disabled actor getting an Oscar for a film about disabled people.

plenty people discussing that on my Tumblr dash, and also that Chris Rock built his career on misogynoir and this isn't even the first Oscar hosting gig at which he's attacked Jada Pinkett Smith

…which mostly tells me I have curated my Tumblr dash very well
