By far the most clear and self-explanatory example of sex-based socialization is that virtually all trans men will say “don’t treat us as though we’re exactly like other men, our experience being raised as girls in a patriarchy doesn’t just become irrelevant once we transition” and virtually all trans women will say “treat us as though we’re exactly like other women, our experience being raised as boys in a patriarchy becomes irrelevant once we transition”

"school is bad for boys they can't do their natural boy stuff like running around and talking.. you know boy stuff moving and speaking" oh OK

i feel like there needs to be more neil gaiman hate, i expected him to get the jkr treatment. everyone has just been like "oh i'm so upset, I looked up to him so much :(". where's the harassment? where's the pipebombs? where's the thinkpiece about how dead boy detectives was fascist this whole time?

Ofc ppl are gonna be confused that trans men can be lesbians when you’ve beaten into them over the last 10 years or so that these women are in all respects literal men. Historically in the gay community, trans men in general (before the rise of the fujoshi trans man) were understood to just be very masc lesbians, until you forced everyone to unlearn that. They want things simultaneously all ways all the time then get annoyed when people don’t understand, get confused or acknowledge the contradictions. They want to be constantly pulling the rug from under people, so they can go ‘oh you thought you understood it now? Wrong! It’s actually this’ and they want to constantly do that because they like to confuse people, and then wonder why allies get exhausted and fed up with the constant changing of the narrative

every time someone is asked to describe what they consider to be positive masculinity (hardworking, protective, whatever) they are at a loss when the follow up question is "okay but what makes these positive characteristic masculine? women have them too"... it's almost as if it's all patriarchal bullshit lol

it's even more cringe when they come up with this pseudo chivalry (lol) revival like DEFEND those who cannot defend themselves SWEAR by your honor... you are not lohengrin you are 27 and on reddit

THERE IT IS. It’s no accident that the left is focusing on making women sex-positive instead of making sex woman-positive.

love to read about the history of prostitution in japan (or anywhere) and they go, "actually women typically entered the industry of their own free will :) the vast majority of them came from starving peasant families and had no education and therefore couldn't do other work or effectively understand the contracts they were signing or what predatory loans are, but they walked into those brothels by themselves :D"

here is my marxist analysis where using poverty and starvation to extract invasive and traumatising labour isn't exploitative or coercive because it's happening to women

my grandma who is a teacher told me the same thing, and that it gets worse every year

Truth! And it really is Those Damn Phones (and tablets), they aren't gaining the dexterity they would have if they were playing with their hands. My wife is an art teacher, and some of the work she shows me looks SO much younger than the kids actually are. Like, she really struggles with finding projects that her kids can do, because what we think a fifth grader can do and what her fifth graders can ACTUALLY do are not even close anymore.

My 7th graders have to write for their independent work. They have the handwriting and spelling skills of first graders and they can’t do any kind of analysis of any text when they’re asked what the meaning or main idea is. The school system and constant technology use is stunting their education and development.

I feel this in my very soul. I have year 12 students (17-18) who cannot write a sentence correctly. They miss words, make tense and syntax errors and they don't use punctuation. "The author used the theme of identity" instead of explored and their vocabulary is shocking. I sometimes wonder if the swears and foul language they use stunts their ability to speak properly. I am trained to teach analysis of texts and higher order writing like essays. But even then in year 12, their final year of school, what can you even do? Some of them are incapable of coming up with their own ideas at all, which then leaves me trying to drag them through to the point I have to sometimes just give them the idea because if I don't nothing will get done.

I also wonder if this is related to millennials insisting that common parenting techniques of the past—discipline, leaving your child alone sometimes, giving them responsibilities with consequences—is child abuse

honestly just kicking and spitting mad this morning about how the reason progressives and democrats have lost all power in this country is largely because of virtue signaling idpol shit i ALWAYS thought was fucking goofy all the way back to 20 fucking 12 and got called everything but a child of god for saying “maybe we should focus on actions and gathering power and coalition building and not lbeing perceived as the most ideologically correct in every situation and scolding people for using the wrong words” and yet here we fucking are and we are all going to die under fascism. i hate everyone and everything

and these people are just off in their own little echo chamber on bluesky taking no accountability for the way the left became the coalition of insufferable teacher’s pets, out of touch academics who level bad-faith accusations of racism at anyone who annoys them slightly, and “zero covid” science deniers who call you a genocidair if you’ve left the house without a mask in the past 5 years. like people literally do not want to reflect on how policing everyone else’s language to death and splitting hairs over “white feminism” and harping on celebrities’ political stances and shit has made so much of this country openly hostile to anyone with progressive ideals and i could have TOLD you this, i DID tell you this in 2021 and got doxxed for my trouble, but they killed cassandra first cuz she feared the worst….

one of the most baffling things of the pro prostitution movement is their favorite mantra, “sex work is work.” that’s so funny. what do you expect me to say, “no it isn’t?” because i don’t care. makes not a lick of difference to me. you know what else is work? child labor, sweatshop labor, prison labor, slave labor, sharecropping, indentured servitude. all work. do you know why reasonable people are against those things? it’s not because they aren’t work. it’s because the inherently exploitative and potentially injurious conditions of the jobs make them morally unjustifiable. “sex work is work,” so what? what’s your point?
