existential female despair

I’d die on the hill that “stranger danger” is a deeply unhelpful mentality to have. “Ooooh everyone is out to get me they’re all gonna perpetrate harm that’s actually more likely to come from someone I already know. I better never talk to anyone in my community who I don’t already know, just to be safe. I’m sure there are no other biases interwoven with this mentality” like oh my god human traffickers do not just randomly spawn in every parking lot. You don’t have to go solo hitchhiking across the country but you also don’t have to live in fear that every guy on the street is the knife man who’s gonna get you. Like have situational awareness, yeah. But most of the time the guy on the street is not knife man he’s actually just a guy on the street and he’s probably pretty chill, and you’re driving yourself crazy by living in a constant state of unnecessary fear.

'women are overreacting and hysterical' and 'not all men!!' but make it woke

"Puritans will ruin ao3" and its literally bein grossed out by incest like okay fuckin weirdo

"hot girls-" shut the fuck up

this Pisses me off extra whenever its political "hot girls hate ice" "hot sluts hate maga" Did You Know you can be a woman and Also not have your appearance connected to your stances and interests Why are we going backwards. and also shut the fuck up

no i don’t think that wishy washy mystical religious stuff is inherently feminine and female literature is literature whose writing ties into mystical spiritual connection to a divine feminine that exists and connects all women to nature and the universe. i don’t feel connected to jack shit and couldn’t give less of a fuck about mysticism. there’s no inherent feminine literature or a particular feminine way to write. i vehemently disagree with that. the idea that female literature should be all sentimental magical bullshit is ludicrous and frankly offensive. idgaf

'do you know how badly you have to abuse an anima-' stfu only women were and still are abused and coerced into reproduction. this is not an 'animal' problem. many women just don't want children and won't change their minds even in the most perfect conditions, why doesn't our vision for the progressive present and future account for that?

the way that people critique "the western family" drives me completely up the wall because 1 the implication, often intentional, that families in eg India, china are actually good + woke 2 the fact that most people are qualifying "western" because they are afraid of being accused of being racist/imperialist so they instead imagine a mythical East of englightment

#Everyone dreams of a society where women do unpaid labor to raise children and care for the elderly <3

“Noble savage” trope. Similar to white people who think America is the only place where racism exists.

i still don't fully understand why people act like believing in gendered socialization means you think socialization is immutable. no, by believing in "male socialization" i am not saying "every single person socialized as male is hard-wired to behave one way and cannot learn a new way to behave." infact, believing in the latter is actually closer to bioessentialism than any actual socialization argument. all i'm saying is that when you are raised as male, you are socialized as male, and that comes with different learned behaviors than someone raised & socialized as female. you can, however, very easily replace those learned behaviors with new ones. i implore you to do so, in fact.

liberal men also will look at ancient frescoes depicting violent sexual acts that a man could purchase as if from a menu and act on with an enslaved girl/woman who lived in a tiny box room being repeatedly raped and beaten until she died and say 'See? kinky people have always existed!!'

You are your actions like it does not matter what you claim to believe or stand for if things you do contradict it thats who you are at your core and who you are to the world

so we understand that misogynist art is still misogynist and harmful to women even if it isnt depicting a real woman right. and that the way someone draws or writes women says something about how they view actual real life women. but somehow this doesnt apply to children?

“The problem isn’t porn, the problem is bad sex education in schools!” have you ever considered that there could be…. 2 problems

tumblr users are like "thought crimes arent real" and then describe a publicly observable action
