THIS IS SO REAL!!!

I’ll be sure to do more research next time as well

Hi. wingedjelliefshamira, who you recently reblogged from, is a scammer. They have used this story and profile picture several times in several different scams. I recommend deleting your reblog and reporting and blocking their account. In the future, you can check kyra45 's blog, or simply search up the url of blogs before you reblog them. Please be careful about what you're spreading!

Alright I’ll be sure to do so

on colors and being different and not being enough for yourself

Why can’t I be as good at the college thing as I was at the high school thing

The blacked out parts include my ✨legal name✨

I have decided to eat first

Now I shall take my nap

(or at least try to)

Oh the dilemma of having to choose between taking a nap and eating food 😔

Wow, I’m officially 20…. 🧍

Welp, time to go and edit all my social media bios 😗✌️

Part 10 of past uquiz results:

I can actually relate to most of this list, though I don’t call myself semiverbal (this is not to say that others who relate to this aren’t allowed to call themselves semiverbal) (if that makes sense) (I’m just not sure if I can consider myself semiverbal)

(I’m not sure where I fall on the verbal? scale?)

what semiverbal looks like for me:

going entire days without talking except for a few words and not noticing

going entire days saying maybe one word answers

communicating primarily through text and typing the majority of the time if i can get away with it

forgetting how to physically speak sometimes. i will know what words to say but mouth won't be able to do it

words getting mashed up and slurred together for no reason

communicating in scripts and preplanned words

if no script prepared, it's extremely difficult to come up with coherent words on the spot

constantly saying the wrong words and nothing like what i meant to say

always having to have somebody else go with places in case of needing to speak, so they can talk for me

blanking out on words and just not responding to people, sometimes walking away because too much pressure to speak

having to have someone else make phone calls for me, anything that involves a phone call i can't do

keeping like 3-4 aac methods on me at all times but still being scared to use them because that means communicating, why not just point at stuff instead

echolalia

stealthy echolalia

I saw the part about how the patriarchy also negatively affects men, and I wanted to expand(?) a bit more on that.

Yes, the patriarchy centers around having men in the main position of power, both at the home and on the political scene (to name a few examples), but it also sells the idea to men that they have these conform to the stereotypes that the patriarchy perpetuates.

And I’m not ignoring the great privilege the patriarchy gives to men, but we can’t ignore the harm that it also causes them.

The idea that men HAVE to be leaders, that they HAVE to be strong, that they CAN’T be vulnerable

We should be able to recognize the harm the patriarchy causes to women without pushing the harm it causes all other genders, but specifically men in this instance, out of the picture.

I want there to be fewer MRAs. Do you want that too? Do you want to know what helps us get there, from a feminist perspective?

You may not like my answer: acknowledge that sexism can affect men. Recognize that, although the patriarchy generally privileges men, they are also subject to restrictive gender roles that are harmful to them (shunning all things “feminine,” not showing emotions, being protectors/strong, never admitting being victims of SA/IPV, having to “earn” their manhood, etc.).

Give young men a place other than the right-wing manosphere to be heard about the issues they experience. If these grifters are telling them “only we understand how hard it is to be a man, the left hates you for your gender” and they look to the left and see “men claiming they have ‘problems’ are losers who just hate women, all men are trash,” do you think they’re going to be drawn towards or away from feminism?

Before you leave an angry response: no, this does not mean to center men instead of women in feminism, it just means including them at all. No, it is not “coddling” men to treat them with human dignity, you can and should continue to hold them (and every other gender) responsible for unpacking sexist beliefs. No, this does not mean it is every individual woman’s and feminist’s responsibility to prioritize men’s issues, it just means at the least not shutting them down when they do speak up about sexism. No, it is not “not all men-ing” to point out that “men are trash” sentiments hurt the feminist movement rather than helping it. Ask questions before you make accusations on this post, please. I have been abused by men too, I get it, this isn’t easy to hear.
