I hate #bekind.

[cockneysalad]

I really hate the #bekind sentiment that is now everywhere. I have noticed it on womens jumpers, slippers, bags etc. Funnily enough I haven't seen it on any mens items of clothing.
I see it as another way to tell people to put up with things they don't agree with, "oh be kind, you must be nice," I'm not sure that this gets anyone anywhere. I asked my daughter what she felt about #bekind she asked me in what context and said that she wasn't going to be unkind. I think that is my point by challenging, questioning and debating we are not being unkind but the #bekind thing just feels like a way of shutting people down from discussion and debate.

It's just a social media gimmick that clothing manufacturers have hijacked to sell more shite to virtue signallers.
Utterly preposterous and , now, rendered utterly meaningless.

I agree. It’s utter bollocks.

I won’t be “being kind”. Being kind gets women absolutely nowhere. If I had a DD I’d be teaching her to ignore it too.

I hate it too, it's used to silence women and children. I see it all the time on Facebook in the daftest places.

Like on a gardening group, someone posts a picture of a weed asking 'what's growing in my garden?' Multiple people reply saying this is an invasive weed. Someone will come along and throw a massive strop like 'this used to be such a nice group and everyone is so rude telling this woman her garden is full of weeds, if u don't like something just #bekind and scroll past' you also get these kind of posts in response to a suggestion that spraying your garden with pesticides perhaps isn't that good for insect life/the environment in general. I don't know how these people cope in life.

''I don't like it either. I'm sure the original intent behind it was honourable but basically it's #shutupwomen.''

this is 1 thing we cannot put back on men, it was done in response to a female who carried out dm. If a male celeb killed himself after carrying out dm there would be no bekind.
