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.
I love tone policing the anger of marginalized groups for the comfort of their oppressors. What if the upper class stopped wanting to help the poor (something they wanted to do in the first place, for sure) because we keep making Guillotine memes and threatening them :( what if white people don’t like it when they’re called cracker and have to think about how they benefit from prison and slave labor :(( how can you blame someone for wanting gay people dead if they’re doing it because we keep making ‘are the straights okay?’ Jokes and they heard someone call them a breeder a few times. It’s honestly their fault if people want them dead because they were soooooo meaaaaaaaaaaaaaan :((((((
Alright this is gonna be tough for alot of ya'll to hear but leftist and progressive spaces need to be more welcoming to men especially cis het white men. The more we speak bad about men the more men will go down the alt right pipeline. And obviously that's a bad thing. If we want men to be on our side we should create a space where they can also feel included because if we don't more men will go down the alt right and alpha male pipeline
i think it should be illegal to not have paper menus. and it should be illegal to only accept digital payments and not accept cash
generally making anything accessible only with a phone sould be illegal. like genuinely regulated by the govt and forbidden. IMO
I feel sick
I'm on holiday at a mall and there's a family getting candyfloss, I don't know what religion they were but all the females, even the little girls (5 or 6) are fully veiled
And the little boys are eating candyfloss off sticks together and the youngest girl is crying and stamping her foot because she can't eat hers due to the veil and she has to take it home in a bag
The appeal to tradition is so funny- the amount of people who the past was good for is so small. "It's been around for ages" a lot of terrible shit has! Slavery wasn't a new invention, it existed for ages. Marital rape existed for ages. Dictatorships and monarchies existed for ages. The past is filled with hot garbage.
”No one is saying you have to-“
Well ignoring the last post that literally said, ‘there is no version of no to a penis that I consider morally acceptable’ - when you call something an ‘-ist’ or ‘ic’ you’re making a negative value assessment of a behavior. If I said, ‘that’s misogynistic’ it is saying that the behavior negatively impacts female people and there’s a moral obligation to change it.
So when you call refusing sex an ‘-ist’ or ‘-ic’ act you are saying there is a moral obligation to have sex with people based on a given trait.
Hey so
Why isn’t the left trying to appeal to the ‘Work is shit’ girls and young women?
Girls and women are expressing a dissatisfaction with labor as it exists currently in the western world especially, a system where the rich have obscene amounts of money to spend on bullshit while people starve. A system where they work for hours and hours get no free time and at the end of the month barely have enough to scrape together for rent, and if they get into medical debt? They’re fucked and they know it.
The Right says ‘that’s because you’re a woman, and woman are built for the home’ and the Left is going… ‘you dumbasses don’t you know that when you aim for that Tradwife bullshit you’re setting yourself up to be abused? You’re setting the feminist movement back. I hope you get abused.’ While males are allowed to make the same complaints about work and it’s NOT considered a natural result of male biology OR a justification to take away the rights of males.
"Men in dresses are seen as bad, but women in pants aren't!"
is not the statement that "men can't be feminine but women can be masculine in society" that you think it is.
Let me introduce: women with facial hair. Full beards. Mustaches. Bald women. Bodybuilder women. Women with visible body hair. These aren't "more acceptable" than men in dresses.
Pants don't have a gendered association anymore, while dresses do. There is something to be said for that, but it certainly ISN'T "masculine women are acceptable now."
Trans women showing once again they know nothing about women or what being a woman is like
Nitpicky hyperonline post
Tbh it’s a bit weird when I see Radfem posts about the trans-ification of tomboys that say that they’re ’turning them into men’. Because you know, they’re not? It’s a quibble but it’s worth remembering when that 20 year old draws random vaguely masculine female character with top surgery scars, that isn’t an act of sex bending. Mind, there’s a long history of sex bending in fandom spaces- it’s a fictional space so it’d be really easy to go, ‘this is x as a male’, but they go out of their way to keep the character female and advertise cosmetic surgery as a way to make them ‘more themselves’. Admittedly this frames the whole thing as deeply sinister- I don’t think people saying ‘hormones would save them’ have actually thought about what that statement implies or who it benefits.
here’s your reminder that a lot of the violence against women and homosexuals in africa is perpetuated by white christian missionaries.
white christian missionaries are responsible for the death penalty of homosexuals in uganda. they keep going over there and reinforcing the believe of homosexuality being a sin.
it’s their fault that some african girls and women have experienced unfathomable acts of violence — by constantly influencing them to engage in purity culture.
death to christian missionaries and anytime they go to a country or tribe where they are not welcome and get killed for it, i laugh and smile. :) remember to persecute your local evangelical fundie. <3
I have preestablished biases and beliefs about the world, I acknowledge that and am willing to adjust with new information shared.
