Literally Dude, That Takes Like 30-60 Minutes

Amazing

i spilled pasta in my backpack and got so mad that i made a traumacore edit about it

Yeah of course pessimism is understandable and I am aware of this, but making pessimism into an ideology and basically giving up is kind of useless. Yes it is getting worse in some aspects for now, but overall it's been getting better in many places due to feminist activism.

I'm talking about people who have essentially made "the patriarchy is eternal and natural" their political beliefs and call themselves feminist because they're upset about it.

It's also kind of amazing how this is the post that pissed feminists off lmao. What should I say, "the patriarchy is the natural state of the world and women will never succeed"? like come on

lowkey getting tired of self defeatist blackpill attitudes "the patriarchy will never end" Why not? We went from using boats to rockets in like 200 years but you think men will forever have privilege in society? Why do you think that?

Oh we do actually, but then yall also just say that's a red flag and terfy because it's talking about a female specific issue lmao

If JKR-fans and TERFs would talk about actual female genital mutilation as much as they talk about trans people, this world would be a better place

Sure but that doesn't mean an argument that is just "this thing is old and thus good" isn't a conservative mindset. I still stand by my point of the idea of "this is what always happened" being a conservative mentality.

So, does the choice of being raped vs starvation really seem consensual and not dubious at all to you? What about, say a boss that withholds raises for sex? Also, sex work is unnecessary labor and exploitive/painful for the vast majority of workers, so what is the reason to keep it? I am against constant consumerist buying and sweatshops and child labor as well to be clear for similar reasons, it's unnecessary and worsens exploitation. Does stigmatizing buying off of Shein hurt sweatshop workers in your opinion? I don't think sex workers should be punished either to be clear, I think johns and pimps should, and sex workers should be helped back into professions that don't require getting raped daily you know.

I think a few surveys, but it is true that there's not much data on that specifically. There's quite a lot of data on rates of violence, sexual and not and it's like 50%. When I look it up, most of the statistics from surveying SWers are like 80-95% wanting to leave though.

Sure but wanting something to continue to exist because it's old is by definition conservative. If you want it to exist for some other reason DESPITE it being old then ok that's not. I still disagree regardless.

Amazing how defenses for sex work are both the "it's the world's oldest profession" quote from a colonizer (which is so blatantly untrue that I'm amazed that anyone believes that) and also "you're a conservative and want to control women if you think coercive rape is wrong" So is it an ancient practice that we need to conserve or something new and progressive

Pick a fucking side

Regardless, that's an excuse for a 13 yr old's behavior, this is a 50 yr old man with 200 billion dollars and the White House in his pocket any normal person would be immediately fired for doing the shit he does

maybe just maybe people don't think that elon musk is a Nazi when he is saying "jews control all the money and want to kill white people" is because the internet has collectively watered down the meaning of "nazi" so intensely that actual Naziism flies under the radar. after years and years of grammar nazi and feminazi and "everyone that disagrees with me is a nazi," the term Nazi has lost any and all meaning, so now real Nazis dont seem as scary and violent as they really are. so now, since everyone has the connotation of "a nazi is someone that corrects me, or a feminist, or someone that rudely disagrees with me on the internet," actual Nazis can fully admit who they are and no one takes it seriously because they think they're just internet trolls

when a man does something wrong, whose fault is it?

a. his mother

b. “society”

c. every woman who will never have sex with him

I mourn for the rebellious masc 'girl' in every movie, who grow out of her manliness and becomes some asshole's domesticated wife. I mourn for her short untameable hair, which she was always running a hand through in those old photos. I see the way her fingers linger as she goes through the album with her young daughter, forcing a laugh at who she 'used' to be.

T would have saved him.

Exactly this!

The whole aesthetic thing really is a really dystopian commodification of personalities...

i think the biggest capitalist scam is that you can supposedly buy the real you.

"see these clothes? it shows who i really am! this makeup, too! i need plastic surgery so that my face can look like my aesthetic!"

you don't need to buy your true self, it's in your personality not your appearance

A lot of people do and have used that as a scientific proof. Again, how else can be considered innate? Regardless, perpetuating those societal roles is still problematic though, even if some people don't have a bioessentialist take.

"Women are already more drawn to feminism" yeah I mean that's kinda the point in why trying to encourage women to be feminist activists is more likely to be successful. Men don't really have a big reason to be feminist. Trying to change feminism to cater to men is also often counterintuitive.

Male socialization also doesn't just end by going and telling men not to be misogynists. I am not sure the exact ways to end that at this moment since it's pretty complex, I would guess it would be gradual as social standards are changing and if children are raised differently.

And, well I mean feminism activism has existed for like 200 years and made strides, so we do indeed have action plans. I also laid out specific policies and reasons as well, which many feminist groups are working towards. But sure I guess feminists don't have any action plan because some tumblr users aren't personally ending patriarchy with their blogs.

I'm guessing you're male and want to discredit all of this because you think feminism is useless or bad, but that's demonstrably false.

We used to make fun of people for saying "not all men" it was beautiful
