I just had this conversation with my friend and I thought I'd share it here : believing that feminism has to educate men in order to destroy the patriarchy because we cannot do it without them (this is what she believes) is believing that men oppress us because they are ignorant. It is saying that they oppress us because they don't know what they're doing and don't realize they are doing something wrong, and that somehow this ignorance has been going on for centuries. It is being overly naive. Men aren't babies. Men aren't innocent little beings who would never hurt us if they knew their actions were hurtful. They have been oppressing us for thousands of years, we have been figthing against it for thousands of years ; how could it be possible for them not to understand what they do ? How could they possibly take away our rights without understanding what they do ? How could they hit us, rape us, traffick us without understanding what they do ? And it's not like feminism is new. We have been fighting for centuries and they have been fighting back for centuries to prevent us to free ourselves. They don't read feminist books, they don't take listen to our sperches, they ignore us when we talk about our rights, they mock us, they don't take us seriously. And listen to them speaking. Listen to them giving each other relationship advices, teaching each other to manipulate us. Listen to them talking about us. Read their comments on the internet. Read their damn books and essays about feminism and women's rights. They know what they're doing. They don't care about us. They hate us, they don't see us as humans.
I remember bits and pieces, but not the whole night.
Burning Days, 2022 dir. Emin Alper
always so funny to see Christians and Muslims go at each other's throat on social media cause it's like watching two pugs fight, they try hitting each other but all they do is heavy panting and bump into furniture in the name of defending their ways to oppress women
idk why people are surprised the fans are eating up the gay incest plotline in the White Lotus, did you think mommy and daddy are only straight fetishes?
(incest is a form of validation run for the subordinate in the relationship and since queer people usually got it less than their counterparts...)
just right before this moment crowley offers him a ride in 3 different ways THREE different times
do you reckon he just meant the speed of the car or something something how crowley wants to take this bond to another level and aziraphale struggles with facing what that means🤏and yes I'm mentally ill to answer your question
Do you love yourself? I don’t have to answer that. It should matter. He has a body but it doesn’t matter, clean sheets on the bed but it doesn’t matter. (Unfinished Duet - Richard Siken)
Sorry, but the whole “Hector is wearing Achilles’ own armor, taken from my corpse. It looks, almost, as if Achilles is chasing himself.” part just has me thinking… Who is Achilles truly hunting down on that battlefield? The man who killed Patroclus, or the man who let Patroclus walk into his demise? Who is Achilles trying to punish? Who is he truly trying to kill? Hector or himself?
I might be off the mark here but I feel like so much of what other women call gender envy is just wanting to be sexually desirable without having to be a pristine passive object. It’s wanting to be active and kind of gross and rough around the edges and weird and attractive on your own terms, which is completely understandable, but bleak that those are only considered possible for men.Â
not interested in getting involved in the rest of this discussion, for the most part, but to me this is a GREAT piece of advice that many people these days don't seem to be getting or understanding.
not everyone you meet or interact with is your friend, the requirements and expectations for respectful behaviour between friends is not the same as between strangers.
