You Do You

You do you!

Unless you're a murderer.

Or a rapist.

Or a bad person. Tweet This!

       I'm all for people owning their individuality, but there is a clear line between being yourself, and using individualism and moral relativity as an excuse to harm other people. It's also not genuine to simply tell people to always be themselves, because sometimes people are awful.
We don't tell Donald Trump to "do you boo-boo" when he tweets something ridiculously sexist because that's obviously wrong! But are we being hypocritical? After all, The Donald was just being himself in those tapes! Who are we to judge? Well, we're the american people and we're supposed to judge that nasty man, but as people we are also allowed to hold the public to a basic standard.

So, where is the line?

When do we stop saying "be yourself" and start requiring certain subset of behavior to be a good person? Tweet This!

Personally, I think that humans are given a conscience and most of them know when they're doing wrong. There are people who are numb to evil and who don't have the discernment to tell the difference between good and evil...and those people shouldn't be themselves...because those people are serial killers and rapists.

Here's my line.
-don't harm other people
-don't do anything without enthusiastic consent (eligible consent...that means adult humans who are mentally and legally capable of consent; not under you if you are in a position of power)
-don't infringe on human rights
-don't be a mean person or a bully
-don't manipulate people
-don't be a jerk
-be responsible with yourself, your body, and don't do things that put other people in danger
-recognize that you are responsible for your actions
-don't be hateful
-don't be willfully ignorant
-don't be unwilling to change
-don't catcall... ever.

Other than that, you do you boo-boo!
