transandrophobia guy who goes from using mra talking points about the dangers of misandry to a crypto terf who rants about "sex based oppression" sounds too comically on the nose to be real and yet...
I do lowkey think everyone's a little autistic/adhd/ocd/etc. but in like a cool anti-psych non pathologizing way
I don't think you can maintain a militarist culture that vaunts bombing poor foreigners as the height of civic valour and strength and then be surprised that your adolescents find meaning in gym-addled misogynists and their hellish visions of domination and aggression. The dreams of Liberalism spawn monsters.
this is just the "x marginalized group's activism has gone too far" backlash that every reactionary shithead pulls out whenever that group starts to get a few too many rights. If you genuinely think that the vast majority of feminists are concerned with justifying the mistreatment of men you are either not seriously engaging with the topic, or you've bought into the fear-mongering "man-hating feminists" narrative that has been a staple of anti-feminist propoganda for decades.

#the amount of people who genuinely don't understand that signed languages are in fact languages and not a coded form of spoken language is staggering
linguist Adam Schembri has been updating his amazing resource, What All Linguists Should Know (about sign languages). It's a really fantastic repository of info, including some really great basics that are great for students and non-linguists as well. Please share widely! I'll also copy a few links from his page, just as highlights:
What is sign language? (Schembri, 2013) https://theconversation.com/explainer-what-is-sign-language-21453
How many sign languages are there? (Glottolog) https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/sign1238 (short answer: at least 220)
How are sign languages acquired? (Lillo-Martin & Henner, 2021) https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev-linguistics-043020-092357
I recommend that anyone interested in or studying linguistics at any level (from hobbyist to professional!) ask themselves (and colleagues, instructors, students, etc), frequently: wait - is that true about languages in general, or just spoken languages? Have we done any research about how this works in other modalities? Keep asking the question!
