pardon my french but the attempting to conflate radfems with the political right is the dumbest fucking thing. like yes, conservatives LOVE socialist radical lesbians who are pro choice, anti nuclear family, pro separatists, anti gender roles. right wingers love witches who are gay and exclude men. jesus fucking christ

Apparently an unpopular opinion but this is good actually especially if you are scared about opening up to real people or can't afford therapy.

I really don't get how this is worse than answering journaling prompts and reading articles. It's just an interactive combo of those and gives perspectives based on whatever sources it uses. It is also useful for OCD reassurance.

All the notes encouraging suicide over something that is cringe *at worst*, are so much more concerning.

add this to the dsm

Genuinely what does this have to do with any of our arguments?

My first post was drawing a parallel to the red scare, which was perpetuated by the far-right calling everyone commies.

Honestly I've noticed that a lot of the anti-terf shit is like McCarthyism

Like the "if they talk about feminism a lot they're probably a TERF"

reminds me of the shit like "If they talk about workers rights they're probably a communist"

Like damn maybe kind of accurate but how is there no "are we the baddies" moment here?

Like seriously what is this shit bro? @oarfishing  https://www.tumblr.com/oarfishing/758650339125821440/alright-im-sick-of-seeing-terfisms-on-my-dash?source=share

... Said literally no worthwhile economist

Yes... exactly It's so fucking creepy

Remembering that time when conservatives were getting all mad about a little boy wearing a dress because it was "sexualizing" him

It was a normal little girls dress, nothing sexual

Kind of goes to show how girls are sexualized from birth if anything

"Women only started working very recently so a woman's place is the house-" shut up and feast your eyes at old photos of women from around the world doing physical labor only for them to return home and solely care for 5-10 children and the elderly parents of their husband.

Greek women represent:

These photos show Greek women doing the type of physical labor they would perform more often than not. At the luckiest working conditions for rural women (aka most of the country) they would start working the fields as children and when they got older they would work the same fields with their own babies on their backs.

On the way home from the fields, sometimes the women would carry the wood and the mule would carry the man so he could rest.

Of course, we can talk about the manual labor that is rubbing cloth and metal for hours on end, chopping and carrying wood to light a fire for a large cauldron your size, and stirring it for hours.

But we can also talk about how it wasn't for them to break and carry rocks in baskets for the making of new roads. They would gather salt, olives, and grapes and carry them on large baskets filled to the brim. For salt they carried thirty kilos each trip, doing fifty trips each, stepping shoeless on the grains of salt.

Carrying water was also their job, often moving large barrels with all the water a house of 10 needed upon hills that horses and mules had trouble ascending.

(more photos for salt mining and carrying here)

It's no hyperbole to say these women carried their incomes and households on their backs. "The good she-housekeeper is a slave and a lady" the old Greek saying goes. A "good woman" was a woman who could be strong and work at home and in the field, often described with the qualities of a mule. Men took their wives out in the fields so much that some who were a bit more educated had to make their husbands sign that they wouldn't ask them to work alongside them in the fields! (source in Greek)

Some of these photos are also from 1970. I'm missing a photo from Leukada showing women carrying baskets of the stones they broke, and I'll add it here when I find it.

Basically, women were out of the house forever. A woman who got to stay home and never perform any labor had some type of privilege (wealth, status etc). Same as the many privileged men around the world who didn't perform any labor at all.

If my posts have helped you in any way consider buying me a ko-fi 💖

Fucking THANK YOU.

Also, pretty sure filmed rape is objectively worse than whatever the hell kinda "misandrist" things women are saying on those subreddits anyways.

Genuinely how is that even comparable in that specific instance either?

This is a (presumably man's) response to my post about violent misogynist porn subreddits.

I will care about "misandry" when men are dying en masse from gender-based violence.

I'll care when men are dying from rape.

I'll care when men are having their bodily autonomy and reproductive rights taken away.

I'll care when men are denied access to education on the basis of their sex.

I'll care when men are being paid disproportionately less than women.

I'll care when men are an oppressed class, minority, or otherwise vulnerable group anywhere on earth.

But none of these things are happening anywhere. There's a billion more things that solely or disproportionately effect women, because the world favours men and I'd be here all day naming them. You're not owed that effort.

genuinely insane how any words for bad things get censored even if you're denouncing it or bringing awareness. God forbid a company can't sponsor a video or liberals get offended by seeing a bad word.

Do people not realize how this makes the problems worse? How can you fight nazis without even being able to say the word "nazi"?

Talking like "people are being unalived on a mass scale like in bad germany". literally 1984 what the fuck is wrong with people.

FR, they're so much worse for you than helpful. These things will CAUSE the yeast infection

call us ugly to sell us shit!
