once again men cant decide what they want from women. one minutes its "women are nothing without makeup" and the next theyre finally willing to admit how damaging the beauty industry is to women.

It really speaks to the continued expectation of women’s emotional labour and physical sacrifice that women were/are expected to allow men who wear dresses into their spaces before men were ever expected to maybe not harass and maybe even accommodate gender non conforming men

Actually you know what, that element of the reply was fair we should absolutely be arguing about the lack of ethics regarding the constant monitoring state we’re in. It’s fucked up that vulnerable people can have their most horrific moments shared online forever without their permission with the only recourse being maybe the site might take it down possibly if they ask with no actual guarantee. It’s really gross that one crap moment could end up ruining your life because now your potential employer sees you as ‘unstable’ or ‘bad for the company’s image’. Why are we as a society acting like that’s fine?

Obviously young republican men being more likely to think men than women face discrimination in our society is dumb and stupid but we really gotta work on the fact that a QUARTER of young democratic women think men face discrimination.

You ever notice the difference between how ‘radicalized’ males are treated vs females? I mean it’s a huge case of ‘we all know why’ but you see posts about radicalized males in non-Radfem spaces and about half of them are like ‘they don’t have any friends or support systems :(. The poor babies, they were taught they could only enact their feelings through violence displays.’ There’s this urge to act like grown human males don’t have a sense of autonomy and when they act in their own class interests, it’s a neutral thing.

But females? They’re the group that’s capable of making decisions which means when they do or say evil shit, it’s recognized as a human act of evil (where are the million thought pieces on the way girls are groomed into Tradwife gender role bullshit compared to the amount for actual fucking neo-Nazi males) mind, I have no fondness for either group- though it’s always worth noting which group is more often than not committing actual violence- but it’s so wild how grown ass males are treated like little mindless babies who’s desire for a fuck mommy should outweigh everyone else’s wants by a good number of the populace.

this is what we mean when we say that now it’s literally impossible to talk about female oppression

why can't i mock your religion lmao U literally think i'm going to hell

Oh I was thinking about this post and how male privilege especially is talked about a few weeks ago. Like, here’s a fun joke for this question.

When did white feminine males get the right to vote in the U.S? The same time as every other male.

Privilege in general is often the benefits of the world built with you in mind that you don’t really think about. The feminine gay male will never have to worry about the growing price of pads and tampons and the inaccessibility of these basic hygiene products for female people. There feminine gay male will not be sneered at as ‘an adult now’ by actual adult males at 13 because of the way puberty effects their body. They do not have to think about pregnancy as a possibility after sexual assault. Those are male privileges and they have nothing to do with masculinity.

Note, heterosexual women also don’t face all the issues that homosexual and effeminate males do. This isn’t about how much worse women have it than gay men, and I don’t actually think that conversation would be particularly healthy. Oppression and the needs of the marginalized need to be understood in their own rights instead of this strange thing where we pretend helping one group will save them all.

interesting
