Actually Might As Well Say It, Hate DNI And Trigger Warning Culture All You Like. I Won’t Pretend Block
Actually might as well say it, hate DNI and Trigger Warning culture all you like. I won’t pretend block and stay safe bullshit doesn’t close people’s minds off from dissenting viewpoints- it does. But that aspect of Tumblr was the first time I was told that what I wanted mattered more than what other people wanted from me. And honestly if Tumblr didn’t have a culture of ‘get the off of my blog if you’re a heel’ than I think I’d have a harder time with radical consent as a belief. ‘It doesn’t matter how nice you are, it doesn’t matter how much it makes you sad, you aren’t owed my mind, space, body or time.’ Isn’t something society tells people enough (and in fact female socialization encourages openness over boundaries to their detriment.)

Grown women who mock 10-year-old girls on tiktok for using too much makeup and skincare are so ironic and painful to watch.
Acting like these girls didn’t get their ideas from you. They were listening when you were telling them how you should start your retinol treatment as young as you can. They were listening when you told them 30 step routine is a game changer. They were looking at you, at women on the billboards, magazine covers and in the TV shows with perfect skin, perfect eyeshadows, perfect hair and realised they should do the same, they should start as young as they can or it would be too late.
These girls are present when you mock other women for their age. Young women ages 20-30 get bullied for having normal faces. “Oh my god i thought you were 50” at a woman who is clearly in her thirties.
These “helpful tips” how to not get wrinkles which include don’t lift your eyebrows, don’t emote in general, use anti-wrinkle straws, don’t forget to get botox on time.
Red light therapy, sleeping with your mouth sealed, in one position on your back so either side of your face won’t get squished and swollen.
But these little girls are funny, yeah, let’s mock them. Why don’t you mock the promoters of these ideas? Why don’t you mock billion dollar industries? 10-year-olds at Sephora are funny, I wonder if you find the absence of women with real faces on screens as funny
Remember that if you or someone you know is being preyed on by an adult while they are a minor, there is a cyber tipline that covers international cases. If you have had your nudes posted online before you were 18, there is also a method to get such material taken down and the perpetrator held legally accountable.
in case anyone was forgetting what the church was all about
anticapitalist e-commies when you say that the sex industry is exploitative
I mean, ‘all work is slavery under capitalism’ is REALLY compatible with ‘“sex work” is bad.’ Like, the obvious logical points would be ‘all work is coerced/slavery in a system where you have to work to eat and live -> coerced sex is rape -> ‘sex work’ is rape and should be abolished.’ It’s inconsistent to say, ‘all work is bad… Except for ‘sex work’. Without a really good reason why this is the one kind that’s not coercive.
i hate when i’m talking to a leftist about why i hate prostitution as a feminist and they hit me with the “all work is slavery under capitalism, you just have a moralistic view of sex” as if i’d disagree.
capitalism is literally antithetical to radical feminism, and i was socialist before i was a radical feminist.
also, why wouldn’t i have a moralistic view of sex? i have a moralistic view of everything; i think everything we do is political, and that includes the kind of sex we have and the rape we find socially acceptable. duh.
Me: passionately argues with ignorant, misogyinist people who throw tantrums about feminism 'just hating men and inventing problems', I use the real ideas of feminism, statistics and real stories from real women, to prove that what they say is full bullshit
Also me 10 minutes later: sees a radfem acount talking about how the Y chromosome contains sociopathic behaviour making every men (including trans women) evil from birth, and every woman who dared to get married or give birth betrayed women, with hundreds in the comments praising 4B

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
Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion in 2021, ProPublica found in a first-of-its-kind data analysis.
The rate of sepsis shot up more than 50% for women hospitalized when they lost their pregnancies in the second trimester, ProPublica found.
The surge in this life-threatening condition, caused by infection, was most pronounced for patients whose fetus may still have had a heartbeat when they arrived at the hospital.
ProPublica previously reported on two such cases in which miscarrying women in Texas died of sepsis after doctors delayed evacuating their uteruses. Doing so would have been considered an abortion.
Imagine if male genitals were treated like female genitals? Like testicles weren’t even referred to as testicles and some men didn’t even know what they were actually called and the general area was just called “penis”.
I have preestablished biases and beliefs about the world, I acknowledge that and am willing to adjust with new information shared.
