Didn’t Aristotle Say That Women Are “deformed Men” (Politeia)? DIdn’t Otto Weininger Say That 

Didn’t Aristotle say that women are “deformed men” (Politeia)? DIdn’t Otto Weininger say that  “no men who really think deeply about women retain a high opinion of them” (Geschlecht und Charakter)? Didn’t Arthur Schopenhauer say that women are “childish, frivolous, short-sighted” and that they are “by nature meant to obey” (Über die Weiber)? Didn’t Thomas Aquinas say that “Woman is subject to man because in the male reason predominates” (Summa Theologica I)? Didn’t Augustine say that “he [man] is by himself the image of God”, whereas women are “merely man’s helpmate”?

I could go on but I think this should suffice for now. The point is that these are the “great men” that have been profoundly influencing Western thought for thousands of years and are quasi-worshipped for their supposed “genius”.

But then, somewhere along the line, one Valerie Solanas comes along, writes one little satire where she doesn’t talk about men in particularly favourable manner and suddenly she’s The Devil?

can we talk about that in catcher in the rye, holden unironically cares about when other people get excited and start talking really fast about something they enjoy? and he hates the fact that anyone else would ever stop someone from talking about something they love, and he is disgusted at humans, like teachers or other people around him for shutting someone down when they're genuinely excited and happy? this book was written in 1950s, man, and holden is still so relatable! like, holden is fundamentally good, and the reason he feels so alienated is because he understands that the world is ugly, and he is disgusted and angry by this world, and i think that's amazing.

this is an anon curiouscat i got from a transwoman tonight…and i find it funny that as much as these males throw around the term “terf”, they genuinely don’t know shit about radical feminism. rad-feminism is quite literally centered around fighting the patriarchy and misogyny i.e. SEX BASED oppression. they are not women & they prove it every-time they use their disgusting ass dicks as a tool to exercise dominance & threaten violence against women simply fighting to protect and advance our own basic rights. it’s like keep proving radfems’ point i guess….🧍🏾‍♀️

While gossip among women is universally ridiculed as low and trivial, gossip among men, especially if it is about women, is called theory, or idea, or fact.

genderists look at the very few gnc women that girls have to look up to–they look at mulan, joan of arc, arya stark, anne lister, mary ann talbot–women who either pretend to be men for their safety (most of the time so that they can marry women, or go on expeditions, or enter into war or academia) or simply wear pants—and say ‘well actually, they want to be men’–>‘actually, they’re trans’ –> ‘actually, they’re men.’

it does not matter your intention, your reason for saying that, it matters the implication. you teach girls that no, you can’t actually be this, not unless you become a man first. 

and they look at gnc men like marquis de lafayette and marsha p. johnson and say, ‘well, actually, they’re women, see? because they’re wearing women’s clothes’. what do you think that teaches girls about what women are? woman is not a costume. man is not marriage with a woman. you’re just misogynistic and homophobic.
