“what If Kids Identify With Something And It Ends Up Just Being A Phase-?” Good. Stop Teaching And

it actually blows my mind that tons of queer people seriously think that viewing women as inherently weak, scared, pathetic, incapable of holding power, and defenseless is feminist and progressive. how on god's green earth does it empower women at all to tell other women that they're just inherently weaker than men, need to be scared of men, that no matter what women can't hurt or abuse them, are always prey and never predators, have no autonomy, that women are literally incapable of holding positions of power over others, that women who abuse others are just "traumatized by patriarchy," or any of this nonsense?

this is misogyny for the sake of making men look bad. that's not empowering at all. regardless of the "men evil woman good" narrative you're trying to spin, it's still reinforcing that women are weak, pathetic, stupid, defenseless babies who can't ever do harm or protect themselves. the reason for reinforcing it does not matter: it's still misogyny. you are still acting with hatred for women. you still have patriarchal views of womanhood you need to abandon. how is telling women that they're inherently weaker than men progressive?

how is any of this feminist? this is literally just misogyny. you can't take misogyny and slap a new coat of paint on it and call it progressive. if you think this way, you have been suckered into hating women whether or not you realize it. you can't blame every shitty thing a woman does on trauma from cisheteronormative patriarchy. you're removing the autonomy from womanhood altogether. what you're saying is that women aren't responsible for their actions because they're too scared and and can't think critically because of how "scared" they are. what, you think women just can't take accountability because we're too dumb and pathetic and useless...? because that's what it sounds like.

you're telling women we're brainless and shouldn't think for themselves. stop calling yourself progressive if you promote the idea that women shouldn't think for themselves, but rather listen to you, instead, to make their decisions for them. stop proudly being a misogynist for the sake of trying to make men look bad. telling women that they're too stupid to be able to tell a genuine threat from a guy just standing there is misogynistic as fuck. this isn't liberating women. it's not liberating ANYONE

things that people treat like moral traits when they're not:

hygiene

punctuality

appearance

language

being good at these don't make you a good person, and being bad at these don't make you a bad person.

you can be dirty, messy, late, fat, and you can write with spelling mistakes every two words, and none of this makes you a bad person.

we need to stop treating this as moral failings.

(I bring a sort of “Everyone has inherent worth regardless of their productivity” Vibe to every conversation that ableists don’t really seem to like)

you can discuss the problems within academia literally forever and you probably should but “historians are trying to keep information from you” is always going to be an anti-intellectual, reactionary opinion, sorry, literally no way around that

Shocker.

Last week, It emerged that health insurance leaders pressured the DOJ to bring federal charges against Luigi Mangione.
