nobody ever believes me when I list off all of the ways that humans are significantly less sexually dimorphic than people seem to believe and it drives me batshit insane. “you’re denying the biological reality of sex” well you’re sticking your fingers in your ears and saying lalalala every time anyone presents you with data that confirms that women and men aren’t really that different. and refusing to come to terms with the two-way relationship between the “biological” and “social” worlds. I think one of us is ignoring the biological sciences here and it isn’t me

I strongly remember being a small child and saying to a teacher that it was weird that lions had manes and deer had antlers but the only ways that humans had to tell apart "male" and "female" was just how they dressed and they got absolutely furious, going "But men are taller than women" (but Mr Black is shorter than Miss Smith, and my Dad is shorter than my Mam, and...) etc etc etc ... this continued until I was in detention. But, I am sure this is a relic of me remembering the process of being taught how to gender people, and that Gendering was mandatory...

I really need to figure out a way to be faster with my art. This is ridiculous

It should NOT take me 2 weeks to make a 4 page comic. This is insane.

Honestly same u_u

So what I think is that there's this default belief in patriarchy that men are superior to women and therefore the "masculine" sphere is superior to the "feminine" sphere. And so, as feminists have fought to expand the number of allowable female activities, men (on the aggregate over generations) have retreated from those activities because they're now seen as "feminine", and so partaking in them is incommensurate with their belief in their own superiority. And, unfortunately, as this has progressed, this has resulted in a lot of men sectioning themselves off from, frankly, everything that actually makes being alive worthwhile. It's a misery spiral, and the only way out is to abandon male supremacy.

#more women in higher education meaning fewer men is incredibly depressing to me. funny in a sad way#what happens when women will finally get into trades? will they just stop working

very irritating how often i see people anthropomorphize nonhuman animals (especially wild animals) on this site and online at large but very disappointing that when someone says 'hey don't project human emotions onto that bird/dog/bear/deer etc.' a bunch of other people are like 'exactly. animals don't care' and then go on to describe nonhuman animals as incapable of sentience, compassion, or thought. perhaps there's a secret option about how nonhuman animals think and feel that's neither 'they think and feel exactly as humans do' nor 'they don't think or feel anything.' but idk i'm just some guy.

it’s a mistake to assume that nonhuman animals have the same conscious experiences as you, but it is also wrong to assume they dont have any conscious experiences at all. both of these are damagingly human-centric, both will lead you to misconceptions about why animals do things, and both completely disregard the unfathomable diversity of possible ways to experience reality.

Begging you to put the sound on

I know I am fucked, but this information makes me only know that when the car-jacking kiwi non-kiwi taps on my car window I will just knowingly sigh and roll it down and give him whatever he wants.

im so sorry that you're doomed by the narrative but i really need you to answer my message on Microsoft Teams
