#emotionallabor — Public Fediverse posts

Anybody else play the game of getting a text / message from a guy, only glimpsing at the preview, and then thinking up the MOST UNDERWHELMING AND LOW EFFORT end to the message so you're not disappointed when you do read the whole thing? 👀

(Like geeze I don't even mean A GUY like "❤️" just a friend who is a dude but dude friends still suck at conversation so you gotta forcefully lower your expectations, no matter how desperate for human social connection you are. ESPECIALLY if you're desperate and lonely (for FRIENDS). Because you WILL be let down by their 'conversational skills.')

If any of you #men following me missed my mutuals' post - expressing gratitude for men who stepped up & helped take on some of the emotional labour than women have shouldered - please read it, first:

https://disabled.social/@vlrny/116325171044986558

Then - make your own decision on whether to be a silent enabler of misogyny or a comrade to women who have to deal with misogynist wankerbutternoodles here.
You also can choose to support anti-ableism by speaking out against it, in public (like many women already have!) or keep on silently enabling it by choosing to be friendly to ableists who are also misogynistic.

Many women & disabled folks are watching. We notice who steps up & who does not. You can do better than stay silent about misogynists - as men - that call has to come, loudly, from within the mens' arena. You can do better than silently enable ableism - that call has to come from non-disabled folks.

Stop being OK with letting women & disabled folks take more hits - because you lack courage to take some of the emotional labour off our overburdened backs.

*You're supposed to feel some discomfort reading this - if you've failed to use your privileges as men to do better than be silent enablers of your fellow men.*

We call it strength.

But it doesn’t land the same on everyone.

Some people are allowed to break.
Others are expected to carry on.

This piece follows that difference, and what it reveals about care, power, and who gets to be human in public.

Distressed friend demands help: Even support systems need clear boundaries. Demanding emotional labour without consent violates the Principle of Reciprocity and drains energy. We move from Corrupted Code (Force) to Clean Code (Power).

Scenario: A friend is in crisis and demands immediate emotional support late at night, despite repeated hints the recipient is busy. The friend replies:

❌ Corrupted Code (Force):
"I need to talk right now, I'm having a crisis. Just drop what you're doing, I can't handle this alone." (Demands immediate, non-consensual labor, ignoring the recipient's boundaries.)

✅ Clean Code (Power):
"I'm having a crisis and need support. Are you in a good space to talk for a few minutes now? If not, please let me know when might work for you tomorrow." (Asks for consent; respects the recipient's agency and energy.)

The difference? The second message respects the recipient’s energy system. What boundary can you clearly state today?
