the amount of women out here theorycrafting heinously pseudoscientific and delusional copes for why the men they date act like they don’t give a fuck about her makes me want to tear my hair out. i lose 6 months off my life every time i hear about “anxious attachment.” please get real
he ignores you for days at a time because he doesn’t care. he ghosts after sex because that is all he wanted from you. he strings you along but refuses an exclusive relationship because he does not want to date you. he won’t introduce you to his friends because you are not one of his friends. he doesn’t do his share of the housework because he thinks you should do it. he acts inconsiderate because he does not think about you. his words don’t match his actions because the words are lies.
postulating about his “attachment style” and his “unhealed trauma” and his “neurodivergence” and the deep conflicting reasons for his behavior is a waste of your fucking time. he acts like he doesn’t like you because he does not like you, and because he can get away with it. y’all are making up a whole different man in your head because you so badly want to believe he isn’t a womanhating parasite. you are imagining a soul in the dried up corpse of a roach. you are projecting depth and vulnerability onto a dog shit wedged in your shoe. stop giving losers the benefit of the doubt PLEASE i am on my knees like a dog BEGGING all women
Was just diagnosed with “need to bite you” disorder. Yeah sorry it’s terminal. The only cure is biting you. C’mere.

its so sad and heartbreaking the things happening in afghanistan.. women are being banned from talking or even hearing eachothers voices even during prayer theyre not allowed to speak
they destroyed women businesses and have got rid of hairdressers and stores that women owned and they are being silenced
banned from school not allowed to vote and this is all a result of psychotic tyrant MEN i was genuinely shocked when i read all the stuff that has come out recently how can this even be allowed to happen???
women are losing their HUMAN rights
feminism is everything we need rn its like were going back in time its fucking sad and weird what this world is
if the roles were reversed and the ability to speak freely or have an education was taken by men there’d be a huge issue yet women are literally being silenced and having their human rights taken away from them
afghan women cant even train to be a doctor and cant be treated by a male therefore they cannot access healthcare which is a basic human right..
whats even more fucking crazier is people are trying to defend this and try to make it seem okay when its not okay??? why would it ever be okay if the same happened to you you wouldnt fucking like it its horrible
as a girl with a middle eastern mother i find it appalling how brown men talk about women and girls im happy my mother has a similar mindset to me but most brown men are genuinely so out of touch with reality and far gone some of the things ive heard or that theyve said to me is insane idk why they feel that things like this are right or okay and the fact its so normalised amongst them is crazy i feel bad for my mother and her sisters and how they were treated as kids simply bcs they are women im fortunate and lucky to have a father that literally explains to me why guys are bad and to not talk to them or waste my time on them as a girl and he has made me so aware of what men are really like and im thankful for that its been like engrained into my brain since i was very young because of him and my mother
using religion to twist it and push political ideologies that take away womens rights is such a huge issue, im not even talking about just afghanistan even america.. ive seen numerous christian men defend taking abortion rights away.. its like first why are u even allowed an opinion on it, ur a MAN.. and second why do u think its okay to tell a woman what she can or cant do with her OWN body……………

the first time I was called a bitch in person I cried for 5 minutes. it was my own brother, I was just trying to get him to clean the table since I made the fucking dish.i think this tells you everything you need to know
Males find it ‘affirming’ to be called a misogynistic slur. 🙄
This is makeup and facetune.
Disclaimer: I am in no way trying to put down the women in the second photo set. They look great, they’re doing as they please, but I wanted to use their public photos in order to make a point.
Often times I hear the argument, “but makeup is an art form! How can women be harmed by the makeup industry if it’s a CHOICE and an art form?”
There is a gigantic difference between the two photo sets. The first are women who have applied makeup, face paint and other materials in order to create something on their faces that does not enhance their appearance or follow beauty standards. They are literally creating a painting/piece of art on their faces. The second photo set shows women who are using makeup in order to enhance their looks and quite honestly change the appearance of their natural facial features.
The makeup looks that are shown are what the beauty industry distributes their products for. These looks are what is deemed “beautiful” and “acceptable” in our society. It is what 10 year old girls are trying to achieve in order to feel pretty and gain attention and acceptance.
It isn’t an art form to put on eyeliner, eyebrows, matte lipstick, contour your entire face to the point in which you are unrecognizable from your bare face. It may be aesthetically pleasing, but it isn’t art. Women and girls are pushed to wear foundation, eye makeup, and whatever else every day. No one is pushed to look like a Rorschach test (see third photo in first photo set, lol). No one is pressured to wear makeup in the form in which we see at the top, but girls are pressured beyond belief to make their noses look smaller. Their eyes look bigger. Their eyebrows more shaped. Their eyelashes longer. Their cheeks higher. Their neck slimmer. Their eyes lighter. Their lips bigger… more seductive. And it goes on.
Know the difference between conventional makeup and artistic makeup. They are not the same, they are not to be conflated. We are not smashing the patriarchy with our winged eyeliner. We are not going against what men want by over lining our lips. Choice or not, we aren’t doing it for anything other than because we feel we have to.
Contour isn’t art.
I bring a “I hate gender because it cause serious harm to women and homosexuals” to the table that the tumblr they/thems really dislike.
when you start reading gender theory you look at everything mundane with different eyes. yesterday I was browsing ao3 for some bed night smut (usual) and came across the tag "Forced Feminization" in a lesbian relationship."feminization for woman.. wow how rare... why not masculanazation(?) huh? " I though to myself before I realized there can't be masculanazation cause being masculine is just to be without the need to change anything, that's why having hair is seen as a act of treason by fellow woman who adhere to societal standards where feminity has been equal to perform for the past thousand of years.
yesterday while reading smut I realized I love someone using the words "Let me" in ANY context. they want to take over making dinner since you had a rough day?they desire to touch you? they need to borrow a hoodie from your closet? yess ask me to allow you like I'm your god.that being said no woman should do this unless it's for another woman.
like I understand the fact you had bonds in the past but you've broken that bridge a long while ago girlie just kill the ducking enemy who wants to take everything you own
Luke and Jaehaerys watching both their families hesitating to fight each other even after their deaths:
Tell me I’m not the only one who's been thinking this
doomed yaoi for bed
idk if this has been done but you can't tell me im wrong
thinking about Aeron Bracken and Davos Blackwood's story being a tragedy in every route you take with a backstory. They laid together just to take out frustration at first and never made anything concrete bcz they were afraid? Perfectly devastating angst. They were lovers and fully knew the other is like a god for them but also know their place in this damned kingdom? crying on the bathroom floor. Two boys always finding each others eyes across a festive at the Harrenhall yet never having the courage to take one small step that would be considered treason by their families? gut wrenching potential wasting.
boy that jaw

I find bathroom signs demeaning not only because the women sign wearing a skirt is supposed to be what makes it a woman, but also because the male sign is just a blank normal body, suggesting that the male body is default and the female body is the “other.” A skirt does not make someone a woman, and the male body is not the normal/default.

"I hope once you listen you will find that behind this theatrical facade is a record I made in a time of grave existential bewilderment. The album is sad, this is true. It's frenzied and calm all at once somehow. To have it in the world with the knowledge of all that I learned while I was making it, is a profound feeling."
which one of you said "I still dream of rejecting the apologies that will never come" cause you ate that
and if there was a country whom wasn't being bombarded with far right ideas to go... then what? nothing will change the fact next generation is in shambles.You can't ignore the absence of your anthem from your lips or don't feel guilty for not staying and trying, scrambling for a better way.We will always be cursed with the duty of our ancestry and what it entails
the americans going "i need to leave to europe" and especially the smug europeans saying "america needs to fix its racist, climate change denier voters" are operating on an advanced model of cognitive dissonance. sir starmer's landslide labour country was gripped by race riots a few months ago and handed out five years to climate protesters. nearly every far right party in europe is first or second with youth voters for both genders: RN secured about a third of both 18-24 and 25-34 age groups; young men across the continent said they would vote trump by massive margins. tusk barely beat back orban 2.0 in poland, and his immediate reaction was to double down on fortress europe—something all other parties are doing. EU politicians are so averse to public investment that this fear blew up the german government yesterday.
there is nowhere to run, there is no country "safe" from the global far right wave
we can mention how unfair it is an intersex individual that has a significant amount of phycological advantage over an adult human female, competed in a category that she was not fit for while still acknowledging she was raised, criticised and shaped by female socialization. I think that's a thing we can do.
i think we are all forgetting something when we talk about how toxic patrick, tashi, and art are — or when we decide one is “worse” than the other. they all have moments of seeing right through it, seeing each other’s toxic behavior for what it is, and STILL want and need each other in this possessive, envious, visceral way.
1. in the way beginning, tashi is clearly flirting more with art than patrick, and patrick is visibly annoyed. art sees right through it and even challenges him like “okay, let’s leave”, and has this little smirk on his face because he knows patrick won’t give up on tashi.
2. tashi immediately sees the visible tension and love between art and patrick, and literally orchestrates their first kiss. she sees right through their repression, and even calls herself a “home-wrecker” but still entangles herself with them, especially patrick because he’s clearly the better tennis player at that point and that is tash’s ONLY true love. tennis. that’s what she desires most in him, and patrick knows that. he even calls her out on it in the dorm room scene. but they have this mirroring fire in each other that neither of them can give up, not until patrick breaks the balance and bails — tashi’s injury is literally a metaphor for the balance shattering between all three of them when patrick leaves her.
3. before this, patrick sees right through art trying to break them up, and even admires that quality — maybe even feels smug and flattered because art is jealous and feels left out from both tashi and patrick. patrick has known this all along, we saw it in the “tick-serve” scene, where he even swears to tashi he won’t tell anyone but he still tells art, who is desperate to feel a part of them and patrick wants that, too — even keeps that close intimacy with art that we see in the churro scene (swoon swoon swoon).
4. haven’t you noticed that arts desire to be great is only ever tied up in patrick and tashi? how he needs to beat patrick to win tashis affection, how he needs to win in tennis so that tashi can live through him, how he lives up to his potential in the ending only because tashi and patrick push him to it, in their little fucked up ways? he knows this — he even admits that he’s playing for tashi, that he knows she’s living through him. he even admits he’s playing a fucked up little game with patrick when they’re in the sauna. yet he still does it. again, he knows what’s happening, sees right through them — still does it, still loves them.
5. when tashi calls patrick to come pick her up he knows it’s not just to tell him to throw the match — and despite how she battles him about it, they still have sex in the car, because he already knows. he’s so fully aware of her and her game and he’s so willing to be caught up in it, the same as art.
just some examples of how they all have moments of clarity and agency and yet they still choose to be entangled in one another because they’re all fucked up in their own, individual ways, and they’re all living through each other for their own specific needs. arts is to be seen as worthy, as great, but only through their gaze. tashis is to have the career that was stolen from her. patricks is truly to be in love and in lust with both of them, because we even see that from the beginning that tashis love alone will never satiate him; it has to be arts love, too. that scene in the sauna when he thinks he’s lost it from art is the most sad and fucked up we ever even see patrick. on top of tashi asking him to throw the game — he’s so defensive of arts feelings.
in short this is an actual love triangle (and i would go as far as to see it as a polyship). you can’t erase one without the whole thing unraveling, and you can’t say one character was the “worst” without picking apart the motivations and pointing to the fact that their bad behavior was never a secret or left unchecked.
even at the end, patrick signals to art that he slept with tashi — art knows and they still have that intimate completion at the end, all three of them. art living up to his potential and embracing patrick fully (id argue this could even be a metaphor for embracing his bisexuality), patrick having both tashi and arts affection again, and tashi playing a phenomenal tennis match through her little white boys — in such a visceral, emotional way that she cries out like she did in the beginning and the last frame is her smiling.
in a fucked up way, they all get what they wanted out of each other.
I desire to embody the same carelessness Tashi Duncan has for men

what does a man know about being a woman? Just the glimpses he caught when we weren't feeling in danger around him.
this exam is tearing my skin from my bones and still telling me to count all the muscle groups
"How do you write such realistic dialogue-" I TALK TO MYSELF. I TALK TO MYSELF AND I PRETEND I AM THE ONE SAYING THE LINE. LIKE SANITY IS SLOWLY SLIPPING FROM BETWEEN MY FINGERS WITH EVERY MEASLY WORD THEY TYPE OUT. THAT IS HOW.
the ones who are left behind are in debt to ones who left and I'm tired of waiting for a vengeance that will never come. Just let me fade away it wouldn't be right but it would be easier than fighting.
when I lose hope in the world I just read the God of Arepo and all's not well again but I feel the light of unbreakable bonds in my heart and that's enough. it should be enough for a mortal.
Temples are built for gods. Knowing this a farmer builds a small temple to see what kind of god turns up.
