Men who feel this victimized by a woman’s “no” are monsters.
Why isn't radblr talking about Adriana Kuch
this is unbelievably cruel.. n the attackers gloating n still talking badly of her after she died.. repulsive. the school should face consequences bc they’ve dealt with this horribly. they advised the parents to keep the girl home so her bullies don’t mock her instead of… holding the bullies accountable??? what kind of logic
lol i hate today’s era of absolutely zero nuance takes. a friend didn’t behave exactly as you’d wanted them to? cut them off. a guy didn’t text you back instantly bc he has his own life? he’s just giving you breadcrumbs. doing something makes you uncomfortable? don’t do it anymore. someone isn’t instantly available for you? disinterest. just absolutist statements that often don’t apply to the multilayer situations of everyday life. like. stop. literally just stop it

when we say trans women are male and trans men are female, we are not saying they deserve to be discriminated against or that their dysphoria doesn’t matter. we are saying biology exists and matters in certain contexts.
when we say we won’t date trans women because we’re lesbians, we are not saying trans women don’t deserve to have happy, fulfilling relationships. we are saying that we are not romantically or sexually attracted to them and so that neither of us would have a happy, fulfilling relationship if we dated.
when we say we are gender critical, we are not saying everyone should be gender-conforming. we are saying the opposite, that men and women should be free to dress and act however they like instead of being forced into certain gender roles based on their sex.
when we say female-only safe spaces are important, we are not saying trans-only or mixed safe spaces aren’t also important. we are saying that based on our biology, women have certain shared experiences and face specific oppression that we deserve to be able to discuss among ourselves.
when we say one thing and you hear another, that isn’t our fault. when you’re ready to listen to what we actually believe or to have a genuine discussion, we’ll still be here.
I love how feminism changed my perspective about everything in life. This is why women are taught that feminism isn't good for them; it opens our eyes and shows us the world's true colours. "If you want to get married or you don't want trouble in life, avoid feminism", they say, but it's for them. They know how strong the power women could hold against men and their sick rules.
it amazes me how before the different branches of feminism had polite debates on their ideologies and could agree to disagree and live pacifically but nowadays if you say you're anti porn people tell you to kill yourself.
