Your Post About Reading Is So True And I’m Thankful You Made That Post. Yeah I Literally Think An Illiterate

Blaming women for any part of their oppression is misogynistic. Yes women are the guard dogs of the patriarchy, but because their life is on the line if they don't

.

i'm not even speaking of merit or genius or "separate the art from the artist" because i think it's a debate so excruciating and useless i would rather chop my arm off. there is just this one specific way that - yes, i do hate to admit it - young, female fans approach male artists. it's like... the artist is always made bigger than his art. like a pseudo-husband or a surrogate father and i hate say this shit but i fail to see any other explanation i dont think you can even use projection/identification as an excuse. most of these women will probably spend the rest of their lives creating and loving different male idols/gods and even if every single one of them was revealed to be a rapist they would be incapable of seeing the one single common thread and just do it all over again. so we're stuck here. forever.

one of the most frustrating things about the neil gaiman situation (and others like it) is people who were fans immediately moving to a different person to idolise ('well, at least we still have x author' or 'please tell me y author is still a good person') and in this situation specifically, 'terry pratchett would be furious'. no!!! you do not know!!!you have no idea whether terry pratchett or any author you like was/is a predator! you cannot take a situation in which a man's public persona as a feminist and supporter of women allowed him to prey on vulnerable women without suspicion and then look at all the other men who portray themselves as good people and say 'well, these ones are still okay though.' just stop idolising celebrities!!!!!!!

A lack of sexual discipline is present in both women and men. Women mistakenly believe that their sexuality is more virtuous because men are more openly degenerate. Both sexes are after social validation and physical release in their pursuit of bodies. “Making love” isn’t any less selfish and degrading. This world is a perverts playground, both men and women have made it that way. Watch the gender divide disappear when a woman speaks of sexually abstaining indefinitely. Men and women, regardless of orientation will unite to shame her.

For most western women;

Why would you take the risk of trying to find a male that won’t kill, disrespect or rape you, when you could just not?

Too many cases of women and girls being abused by male partners to justify it.

wanting children is not normal

anti-human

i usually tell people openly that i don't like people. i don't like socializing. i get as much as i can handle just going into work

people are... stupid monkeys. sometimes. you know they types.

people who have always been bigoted and never questioned it. people who could do better with their ignorance but don't. and the worse kind: people who know they're wrong and continue to do it out of pleasure.

people take out their insecurities on one another all the time. in so many different ways.

and look at our planet.

jesus fucking christ come get these people.

still: there are others that give me hope. i know there are good people in the world. and also know that many people used to be bigoted but aren't anymore. people who are working on themselves every day, like me

you have to pick your battles and also put them in perspective

i COULD go off on anyone who said anything offensive or something i wasn't sure about. i COULD pick a fight with every ignorant person and prove them wrong. make them feel like the stupid monkey they are.

or.. i could let them hang themselves. i could let karma find them. i could go off on them at a later date after they've proven to me they're truly a piece of shit not worth respecting

that is the least they deserve.

ofc i would rather such people be separated. it would just make everything so much easier to pull these people out and put them somewhere they can be sexist and racist to their heart's content...

but alas.

I'm actually comfortable in this pit you put me in. I like it in here and I will resist any attempt made to rescue me. I'm happy with the scraps you feed me and I don't mind how sick I'm getting.

When I write about how much I love asexuality and celibacy, I always feel like I need to add a qualifier of "and there's nothing wrong with healthy sexual relations," etc. I'm not doing that anymore.

The entire world is obsessed with the carnal and cheers you on to objectify yourself and others in every way imaginable, 24/7, 365. If you want validation to do that, look in almost any direction at any time, because you'll most certainly find it from our very sick society. But you're not going to find it here.
