Sorry but this is so fucking funny. This is supernatural levels of funny. You take one of the shows that showed every other 2010s media how queerbaiting is done and revive it six years later just to kill one half of the ship while the other character isn’t even there, but still can’t resist adding a not so subtle reference to how ACTUALLY the fans were right and the ship was true (possibly, hilariously one sided) all along. Incredible. Truly one of the masters of the game

WHAT FUCKING YEAR IS IT

these clowns will hear “women have vaginas” and say some shit like “wow you think women are baby factories huh” like mf not my problem you immediately associate vaginas with breeding! quit acting a fool!! stop being fucking annoying and wrong!!!

this looks like the coolest place to go ever

What cultural relativism is good for: understanding in some countries bugs are a delicacy and that isn’t ‘gross’, red means luck in some places and war in others, death is a great tragedy in some places and a celebration of life in others, etc.

What cultural relativism is not good for: justifying child brides, justifying domestic abuse and sexual slavery, justifying the generalized rape and harm and misogynistic practices against women and girls, etc.

Emma Watson immediately jumped on the Rowling hate train, and proceeded to make it her personality in the years since. Even declining to talk about her in interviews, saying “we’re not going to talk about that woman”.

But did she ever speak up about Iran? Did she ever even put out one of her “solidarity” posts for the women of Iran?

And what did Rowling say about Iran? 🤔

And how did TRAs respond?

Y’all will make any women’s issue about trans people instead.

Just say you’re a western performative activist and move on.

no i dont think women starving themselves and reconstructing their entire faces with makeup and plastic surgery is feminism and female empowerment

People really do just be throwing around the world anti-Semitism to demonise The Hogwarts Legacy game. It's so clear that they don't give a fuck about Jewish people, because if they did they would challenge their own biases.

If you see a goblins, (which was designed by the movie team and not JKR btw), which are responsible for a bank and immediately think Jew, that's you being anti semitic. You are the one applying Jewish stereotypes to these mythical characters. These characters are not represented poorly either. The goblins are good at their jobs and they are not shown negatively.

Nevermind the allegory for racial purity running throughout the whole Harry Potter series through the death eaters and Voldemort. Who is the villain and never portrayed in a sympathetic light. No, her main theme and criticism of that view doesn't matter.

The gendies desperately claw at the pages of her books looking for anything they can grab onto to make her look worse. They know that their claims of transphobia wouldn't hold up if anyone actually bothered to look into them properly. So they need something that is established to demonise her further.

I am literally so done with coddling beauty-obsessed women’s feelings. I used to be all “oh no I’m not judging you” when my friends would accuse me of such things cause they shave and wear makeup. And it was true but I have officially lost my patience for that shit.

Women who shave and wear makeup have always been the ones who have judged me for not doing such things. All that “you’re judging me” crap is projection so here’s my response:

I am judging the fuck out of you. I roll my eyes when I see you’re in heels. I wanna kick you out of the bathroom when I see you putting on makeup. I think you’re a fool when you’re legs are perfectly smooth. I think you’re pathetic to be at your age 25, 35, 55, and still care about beauty standards for men. If you haven’t figured it out by now, you’re a lost cause.

it kinda sucks ass when ppl don’t hate from the heart fr….like it’s just something to do bc the social media climate tells you so. not because you actually feel it :/

Tokyo’s aquarium. By Japanese photographer あき @akira1027_photo

when a woman views the world in a female-centric way, she's biased and unreasonable and emotional and illogical, but a man who upholds the male-centric status quo believes himself to be totally neutral and uninfluenced by male supremacy

radfems: features that make up "femininity" such as make-up, high heels, shaving, are constructs of patriarchal societies to control women

very "woke" progressive people on the internet: aw stop ruining the fun! just bc you don't like it doesn't mean it's bad!!! respect people's individual choices!!!

The woman who defied Italian tradition by refusing to marry her rapist

50 years ago, Franca Viola risked everything to put her rapist behind bars and marry the man of her choice.

1966 - not even 60 years ago. She’s still alive today.

Important notes:

Italy was very predominantly Christian, which had heavy influence on their legal system.

Women were basically told no one would ever love them, marry them, have kids with them, take care of them, etc. if they were “used up”.

Men’s crimes were forgiven if the woman married him.

"The greatest revolution in a country is the one that changes women and their way of life. You can't make the revolution without women. Perhaps women are physically weaker but morally they have a hundred times greater strength.”

Oriana Fallaci (1929-2006)

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?

Ana Mendieta - “Silueta” Series

The “Siluetas” comprise more than 200 earth-body works that saw the artist burn, carve, and mold her silhouette into the landscapes of Iowa and Mexico. The sculptures made tangible Mendieta’s belief of the earth as goddess, rooted in Afro-Cuban Santería and the indigenous Taíno practices of her homeland.

“It is a way of reclaiming my roots and becoming one with nature.”

Untitled: The Abortion Pastels (1998), Paula Rego

In 1998, Portuguese artist Paula Rego made the series titled Untitled: The Abortion Pastels in response to a proposed referendum that would legalize abortion in Portugal that was narrowly shot down. Each piece in the series depicts a woman undergoing an unsafe abortion.

Meant to be uncomfortable, the series went against the trends of depicted womanhood in art at the time and previously. Rego brought to light the things that were swept under the rug, exhibiting in capital of the country, Lisbon.

Her work is stated to be imperative to the changing of public opinion in favor of pro-choice legislation.

YOU SAID "FIND THE BEAUTY IN EVERYTHING"

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.
