The Connection Between PTSD and the Menopausal Transition

reminder that lesbians are NOT more violent than men and we don't have the highest domestic violence rates. i wish people (mostly men) would stop deliberately misconstruing this

So I've just had a thought, and bare with me because I'm aware that this could be a reach lmao.

So it's already been brought up in radblr how the Karen meme has gone too far and demonizes women for asserting themselves and demonizes women for being middle aged, and god forbid a woman is middle aged and asserts herself!

But I was thinking about the stereotypical "Karen" haircut, which is like this:

and it make me think, of course the stereotypical "Karen" haircut is a short and practical haircut, not long beautiful tresses or something that's conventionally attractive and seen as beautiful to men. So the Karen meme not only demonizes women for daring to assert themsevles / be middle aged instead of young and naive, but it's also demonizing women for daring to have short practical haircuts instead of long beautiful tresses that follow typical patriarchal beauty standards.

Like I've seen comments on instagram of girls and women who previously hair long hair getting it cut into a pixie or bob and people, usually boys and men, commenting "Karen haircut lmao" or "future Karen in the making" just on normal and practical looking bobs and pixie cuts, and then this leads to the girls and women I've heard saying they want to get a bob or a pixie cut but "don't want to look like a Karen" so they keep their conventionally attractive long locks.

I'm willing to entertain the idea that the Karen meme started as a reasonable way for retail employees to vent about the abuse they get from customers, however either way now women are getting called Karens just for existing past the age of 30, or just for asserting themselves when it's reasonable and called for to assert yourself, or in this case just for daring to have short and practical haircuts. Besides, I've been working in food service and retail for the better part of a decade now and my worst customers are always men. Male customers will regularly get violent and genuinely make me afraid for my safety. Meanwhile when female customers are bad usually the worst they do is be snippy and make me feel bad about myself. Which isn't nearly the same as genuinely making me feel unsafe. And also, the worst female customers I get are often teenage girls and young women who are closely following conventional beauty standards including having long hair.

It’s one of patriarchy’s perfect self-perpetuating cycles: the demonisation of older women ensures we do not wish to identify with or learn from them, so cannot gain any knowledge to prepare us for our own experience of ageing. Instead we turn away from our future selves.

meat thing. useless flesh. “punch it” having two thousand likes.

i ain’t hearing about no “male loneliness epidemic”.

have they considered that porn and manosphere brainrot turns boys into creepy woman hating losers which makes other kids bully them and not the other way around

"a man could never get away with this" I have never seen a man not get away with something in my life

ACKSHUALLY MY SEXUAL DEPRAVITY IS REVOLUTIONARY 🤓

how i see leftist men

Woman (Tara Strong) has problematic opinion online - evil bitch

Man (Jim Cummings) accused of rape, sexual abuse and animal abuse - based

He admitted to the animal abuse btw. What happened to all of the outrage Internet people usually have for mistreatment of animals?

Should be obvious, but I'm not defending Tara Strong at all, just noticing the disparity in treatment towards problematic female voice actors and male voice actors, who have been accused of violent crimes. Reminds me of the treatment of J.K. Rowling (though I agree with most of her takes, obviously do not agree with Tara), versus the treatment of Neil Gaiman. Evil bitch vs based, boycott vs separate the art from the artist. Interesting.

voice acting as a profession is so funny because you'll see someone being like "voice actors need to be paid better! like [obscure person you've never heard of]" and you're like "oh I wonder who that person is, maybe I've heard them voice a character" and you look it up and it turns out they voice 137 characters in Futurama and 94 characters in The Simpsons and 96 characters in Adventure Time and every one of the My Little Ponies and 27 characters in Arcane and 96 characters in Kim Possible and 4 characters in Phineas and Ferb and 296 characters in Dexter's Laboratory and all of the main cast of Fairly Odd Parents and at least 6 characters in every Pixar movie and almost every animated depiction of Superman and 473 SpongeBob characters and they've been in every installment of Mass Effect and Halo and The Elder Scrolls and Fallout and Call of Duty and they were in Star Trek and Law & Order and they were 12 characters in the MCU and they also invented t-shirts and the colour green and they got paid a sum total of $3.27 and a mothball for all of it combined. then you go burn down David Zaslav's house with him inside

“There is no global epidemic of battered husbands or of mothers raping their children. Sorority girls don’t slip male students date rape drugs and gang-rape them at parties. Cheerleaders don’t wait until football players are too intoxicated to walk or speak, have sex with them, film the rape and share it with all their friends via social media. Boys are not pressured to send topless photos of themselves then blackmailed with the photos, then stalked and bullied and mocked until they kill themselves. There are not entire websites devoted to posting pornified imagery of ex-boyfriends in order to shame and humiliate them. There is no industry wherein women are coercing boys and men into prostitution, en masse, forcing them to have sex with strange women day in and day out. These are the facts. I know these things to be true because this reality is impossible to ignore if you pay any attention to media at all, because I am a woman and this is my life, and because I’m a feminist and I understand the devastating impact patriarchy has on women and girls everywhere. And that is why, as a feminist, I believe women.”

It's not that we think women are incapable of evil depraved acts, of course they are, anyone is. It's that, very interestingly, despite being perfectly capable of doing the same horrid things men do (bar not having the built-in rape tool..), statistically speaking, women never do. For men, rape and murder are a rule, for women they are the exception. Did you know that men account for over 99% of rape? Did you know women account for at least 90% of rape victims? Did you know a man is more likely to be raped by another man than he is by a woman? Men can victimise each other but it is truly rare that a woman will victimise a man. Instead of taking these statistics so personally, you should be appalled at your fellow men.

Men will literally put 0 effort into their appearance and wonder why they’re ugly.

Maybe your girlfriend didn’t want to have to deal with the constant stress and pressure to constantly validate your delusions :]

the “block op they’re a terf” movement was so thorough that now none of the libfems have any idea what radical feminism is about. I just saw a post saying that we enforce rigid gender roles and most of us are white like…not only are there a LOT of radfems of color (including myself), our whole thing is abolishing gender while acknowledging sex based oppression

First of all, prostitution is not the oldest profession- it's the oldest form of slavery. The oldest profession is midwifery. So jot that down.

i looked up his reddit account and he's a TIM who gets off on the past rapes of his ex girlfriends, extremely disturbed individual

Exhibit 2016

You don't see "fuçk Trans" mugs anywhere.

It's a hate movement against women.

You fuçk off and leave our sex alone. It isn't yours.
