Period started on the full moon, crashed out the day after. I am NOT locked in.
WHEN ON PERIOD:
do not crash out
your feelings are NOT valid
do not send that text
don't kill yourself. lock in
do not act on negative emotions until at least 2 days have elapsed
I want women who enjoy their rights rn oblivious to history and to everything going around them to see this. You can not take a backseat that you're safe now forever. You have to stay active, or this happens. Men will choose to oppress women instead of addressing their complaints. Out of all the proposed solutions like maternity leave, shorter work days, egalitarian house chores, etc, they choose to reduce women back to incubators.
i wish men were as disgusted with rape as they are with periods
shit like this has bothered me since forever and I only realize why now, its because they try to break norms without going all the way through, to the point of going backwards. Yes, a man can be pretty and soft BUT that makes him a princess! Or a wife! Or a material girl!
Notice how the essential social meaning of princess and wife never change. Notice how they have trouble wanting to consider that pretty men can be pretty princes, or pretty husbands. Notice how the roles associated with these words (wife and husband will always mean entirely different things to them) never change. They cannot fathom it, and because they do not want to think without the base of stereotypical gender.
Its all 'FUCK GENDER ROLES', but babes you depend on them so much. Your whole ideology would crumble and you wouldn't feel so special anymore without those stereotypes. Which is why progress on gender roles is not only stagnating but actively regressing, now anyone can opt into boxes that should have been destroyed long ago for the sake of true progress, but are being kept around for decoration.
yeah i believe in transmisogyny. those dudes are misogynistic as hell
men are literally out here making tiktoks that call all women who like to read PORN ADDICTS just bc some women like to read romance novels that have like 3% smut content. meanwhile like 95% of them are watching "teen slut gets anal gang bang by bbc" on the daily, which-as opposed to just being words on a page-involves the actual abuse of young women. and I'm supposed to NOT tell them to kill themselves in response...
I’m not interested in a world where men really want to watch porn but resist because they’ve been shamed; I’m interested in a world where men are raised from birth with such an unshakable understanding of women as living human beings that they are incapable of being aroused by their exploitation.
Instead of asking people "do you support trans rights", we should ask if they supports actual demands of trans activists. Because it's easy to support a popular label. The real test is to see if people are actually in favor of what lies behind it (just like instead of asking if people support feminism, we must ask if they're in favor of various womens rights).
A few examples of questions :
Do you support the right of male people to legally identify as women ?
Are you in favor of mixed-sex prisons ? Changing rooms ? Public toilets ? Support groups ?
Do you think medical treatment should be tested for a specific use before it's available for that use ?
How do you feel about taxpayers moey going to non-medically essential procedures for trans people who wants them ?
Do you think biological sex should be legally erased ?
Are you in favor of medical treatment preventing fertility for minor patients without medical problems ?
Do you think people should be able to dress however they want as long as it's not sexual in public spaces ?
Don't hesitate to propose your own questions. Doesn't have to be about harmful practices of the trans activists. Just has to be clear and objective points of trans rights.
The original idea for this post comes from @stumblngrumbl
Carrie is fat in the book. Learning that completely blew me.
The use of pigs blood makes so much more sense. The reason she was bullied so relentlesly, even though she does nothing to nobody, makes so much more sense. The relationship with her mother makes so much more sense.
I know they aren't going to, but I wish they would cast someone fat in this new Carrie adaptation. From the articles I've seen, they are already speculating which skinny actress it's going to be.
How many times can they tell the story the same exact way? The answer: endlessly.
I don't know what's worse the total erasure of fat people in movies or the only story we get to see ourselves in are the love yourself fatty movies.
they say they love insects but they hate wasps and mosquitoes
The rates of abuse that trans identified males face are irrelevant to the discussion. It’s not an issue that will be solved by allowing anyone who simply identifies as a woman into female exclusive facilities. I’m sorry, but women’s spaces do not exist to protect men from male violence.
Trans identified males cannot experience misogyny. Misogyny is sex based discrimination, hatred, subjugation, and oppression. Women don’t experience misogyny because we dress or present a certain way. We experience misogyny because we have female reproductive organs, and our bodies and unpaid labor are valuable resources to men that they seek to control for their own gain. If a passing TIM (exception, not the rule) is the butt of a misogynistic joke, or has misogynistic slurs thrown at him, that is not the same as centuries of women and little girls being forced into domestic servitude, raped, repeatedly forced to birth children, denied the right to vote, attend school, divorce, own a home, work to earn a living, murdered by their fathers, brothers, and husbands, lobotomized, hidden away by religious extremists, sold like cattle, used as wombs by the elite, prostituted, and every other inconceivable abuse women and girls have endured for nearly all of human history, all over the world. If someone calls me the f slur, it doesn’t mean I’m the victim of homophobia (they’re still a homophobe).
Men choosing to undergo extensive cosmetic surgery and hormonal therapy (or simply socially transitioning) are not entitled access to spaces that are meant exclusively for women and girls.
I agree, build more trans spaces. Unisex, single occupancy, lockable bathrooms and changing areas, open categories in sports, shelters that are intended for transgender people, making shelters that have a primarily male population safer, sections in men’s prisons that are safe for homosexual and transgender males. Really, the issue isn’t solely that trans people are lacking a safe space, it’s that males make every space they occupy UNSAFE. Which is exactly why women want our single sex spaces left single sex.
It also needs to be acknowledged that trans identified males retain male patterns of offending. Women (who are labeled TERF bigots and disregarded) have tried to call attention to the issue of men and boys who were granted access to our spaces by lawmakers and activists committing sexual and violent assaults against women and girls.
I’m so tired of seeing women defending men. Not angry, not frustrated (okay maybe a little) but tired.
Cuz I used to be the “not all men” type, then I realised, how many men do the same for us? Sexism is ingrained in meme culture: girls like titantic, boys like cool thing; women ☕️ amiright?; I-hate-my-wife culture; FEMINIST KAREN DESTROYED 🔥🔥BY SIGMA LOGIC; Uhh actually 🤓 being kicked in the balls hurts more than child birth.
THE EXISTENCE OF ANDREW TATE.
But as soon as women go “yeah I’d pick the bear 🐻” they lose their minds. How dare they prefer to be torn apart by a bear than encounter a man! Should we use this as a way to reflect on our behaviour as a sex and WHY they think this way? Nah, let’s describe the brutal ways in which we’d like them to be killed by said bear and joke about how we’d sit and watch.
People misunderstand: men like *sex* but they do not like women hence why they’re advocating for sexbots and ai companions. Unlike women, men would not defend you in an argument out of the purity of his heart.
