The uk is such an evil because why am I being forced to defend a serial child rapist?

Obviously this is another case of politicians finding the worst case scenario in order to justify over turning a law that has long been protect man persons. The uk has been targeting the windrush generation, countries demanding reparations, the middle east and of course Muslims. This case is the perfect excuse to rag on any of those groups and push anti immigrant policy.

I find it outrageous that they can even try and strip him of his citizenship. By 2012 he would have been in the uk for 39+ years since he would had to migrate before 1973. That is a uk citizen and a uk criminal through and through. What is the point of deporting him? I dont see why he lost his citizenship or why he needs to be deported. What does his actions have to do with his right to access the uk? Granted I've dealt with visas long enough to know why this happening and im not brave enough to say that these governments are wrong for wanting to deny criminals access to their countries. But before we let our emotions guide our reactions I think its best to sit and ask who will this law actually impact. Child rapists or immigrants?

Very good points

Not here to debate if this is Trans misogyny or not.

But somethinf I've noticed within fandom spaces is that whenever someone wants to express sexual desires for a character or person they often put themselves in the submissive position especially if that person is a woman. Like everybody wants to be fucked nobody wants to fuck. Youre only allowed to want to fuck somebody if its a cis man and you are not a cis man ie you topping them goes against traditional gender norms.

Being a bit too much here but wanting to pentrate someone during sex is seeing as wanting to dominate them or degrade them as a person so the moral thing is to want them to degrade you by having them penetrate or top you. The only time this idea is kind of diverged from is when its cis men that youre lusting after. Thats the only time youre allowed to want to either be degraded or to do the degrading because cis men cannot be degraded through sex.

So in the case of hunter, saying that you want to fuck her as a transwoman is seen as wanting to degrade her or even fetishizing her. The respectful thing to do when expressing sexual desire is to take the position of the degraded even though hunter (according to the replies) is a bottom and prefers bottoming.

I see it all the time across all fandoms like nobody wants to fuck anybody. Everybody wants to be fucked. Even when people arent talking explicitly about penetrative sex they are still in some way taking on a more submissive role in the fantasy.

I keep saying this!!!

I dont like this video. I dont like the language. I don't like the conclusion. I dont like the advice. I dont like the comments. I dont like any of it.

There is something very concerning here. Obviously men make these kinds of judgements about women all the time, theyre dangerous and if you cross them they will lie on you and everybody will believe them. But normally, when a man says that everybody is quick to question him or challenge that idea. Not always but a lot of the time. So why is it when a grown ass man says that about a 11-13 year old girl everybody is just in agreement? Furthermore, the amount of educators agreeing with him yet nobody can seem to point to the reasoning as to why people believe these girls (allegedly).

I think its interesting how all teachers have stories about how their careers almost got ruined by emotionally unstable teenage girls but also every teen has a story about one or two predatory teachers at their school.

Like what im hearing is, you got forced to go to some old dingy school and teach a bunch of dumbass low class kids and one of them made an inappropriate comment towards you and because the school didnt kick her out you felt your were in danger of a twelve old. You decided that she had a crush on you and was bound to become delusional about it and eventually when you respectfully reject her she will go crazy and accuse you of rape be youre just so young and a attractive that its inevitable.

Let's be so serious here. What do you think happens more often: a 12 year old getting so obsessed with her young teacher that she accuses him of grooming her and he immediately loses his career despite being innocent OR an adult man grooming and sexually abusing young female students and eventually getting caught?

Im sorry but the more I think about it the more I want to check hid hard drive. No way you've been teaching this long and still think that you were the one being wronged in the situation. Get fucked

“Students of the opposite sex” … does he mean girl children??

Humbert Humbert if he was a teacher vibes

Transphobia. When you’re a transphobe and you want to be transphobic, you have to rub shoulders with the right wing extremists that dominate the hate train, so they end up spending time in Libs of TikTok and Kiwifarms type spaces where it’s easy to get radicalized.

Caribbean anon here lol

In the caribbean its actually very rare to get married young. Most people will wait until their like in their 50s earliest. Baby daddies/baby mamas are rarely the first pick. Does not matter how many kids they have together. And the joke is a lot of women do this because they feel that getting married would stifle them. Like they want to be able to get up and leave whenever. Do they? No. But the option is there.

Im all for rihanna never marrying asap rocky. Like she wanted kids not a husband. So many women would have been saved if they just did not marry a man just because they have kids together. You don't have to legally bound yourself to a man just because you have kids together. Like if Rihanna decides shes done tomorrow then all she has to do is draw up a custody agreement and proceed.

And I find it so funny that people view shaming women for having kids outside of marriage as a feminist stance like marriage isnt the most criticized institution across all feminist discourse. Like I think we should be encouraging women to have kids without getting married and focus on developing stronger bonds with other women and raising their children as a community not latching onto a man because he happened to nut in you. If having kids with a man already ties you to him for now until eternity then why take it a step further and get married?

And I am assuming that they are also against divorce right? Because being married is whats important no? Having kids when youre not married to the father is the problem? So divorcing him should also be a nono.

Also what the fuck does Rihanna of all people gain from marriage? Rihanna. The billionaire with the massive music empire. Not to gas up a billionaire (eat the rich) but if anybody has a reason to not marry someone its her. Especially a broke ass like ASAP. If they get married he has claims to her finances, assets, businesses, properties, literally anything she owns he can claim. But if he's her baby daddy then its just custody. She takes primary so she wont even have to provide child support. If they get divorced she will be forced to pay alimony.

Look at cardi b. Look at Beyonce. Look at Kim Kardashian. Im sorry but there is nothing to gain from marrying a man.

Also the amount of people that think rihanna didnt have a choice in getting pregnant 😐. Do you really think asap rocky was the only person to successfully baby trap her? Do you really think she had no say in this? A billionaire in her thirties let some random name baby trap her? Really.

Is Rihanna a bird yes. But not because shes not married. Thats probably the smartest thing she did. A real bird would be married with 5

Omg I feel this exact same way. Rihanna’s got MONEY that she should keep for herself. Whenever people bring up that she’s unmarried, I’m like, “Good for her!”

Like it’s frustrating if you can only afford thrift store clothing and all the cute stuff gets taken quickly. But on the other hand- a shit tone of clothing ends up in landfills- there’s no guarantee that any of that clothing would be bought. They just got there faster than others.

I’ve also heard the argument that resellers are half of why poor people resort to fast fashion. And…idk? Idk how I feel on the whole subject. It’s not like all resellers are rich people, in the end it’s just another result of hustle culture capitalism created. Is it really any worse than other ways of making money?

I sent an ask asking about your opinion on fifa but I did want to share these three vids on the matter. I am a massive hater of fifa and world sports in general: one because my country never qualified and two because its bullshit. I cannot begin to express just how and why I have such a deep hatred for the world cup and why it never moved me.

Im sorry but if you put me against the country that tried to wipe out my people in the 90s im bringing a gun are you mad? What do you mean there was an Isreal vs Palestine game? Fifa are you ready to die.

I read a book once about how cricket was used by slave owners to control the enslaved population because it was such a tedious and long game that you had to play in the blazing hot caribbean sun but it was also the only enjoyment you could get as a slave. That combined with the exploitation of black bodies in the NFL and NBA. And see it on a global stage of just blissful ignorance of just everything. I dont know how anybody can sit there and watch that shit like it actually makes me nauseous just thinking about it.

I hate the Olympics. I hate eurovision or whatever. And I despise the world cup. I hate sportsmanship. I hate nationalism. I hate it all. Also my country has never qualified so I really dont give a fuck especially since a huge limiting factor is access to resources and them damn Europeans stealing all our potential players. Like fuck all of you actually.

And fuck Shakira.

Wow I love this passion. I’m totally on board with this. Most sports are cults of nationalism and masculinity, it’s true.

I did get an ask that just said “fifa?” So I was confused 😭

Oh is this about that alt guy who said he prefers dating queer women because they don’t criticize his (lack of) masculinity? I’m not against that sentiment necessarily but with these types, usually the convo about unpacking patriarchy ends with them not paying the bill. As for their own entitlement to the girlfriend’s femininity, sexuality, domestic care etc. they may not be as passionate about rejecting that. At the end of the day it’s women who stand to benefit most from non-traditional relationships; the focus shouldn’t be on men who want less gender policing.

God straight people have such dumb and childish rules about opposite sex friends and social media interactions. It’s so controlling.

i am this anon. the one who sent it. also was responding to your comment not really the actual statement made in the ask.

but to the question of if empowerment is the right word: i think it depends on what you think the empowerment refers to.

no individual choice is empowering, at least not for feminism. for some random woman hooking up might be empowerment for whatever reason idk. but women's individual choices are not empowerment.

also, i dont think a lot feminist discourse in general uses empowerment as a framework. it's more to do with action and trying to combat the patriarchy by changing women's behaviours. and in that sense, empowerment would not be encouraging women to engage in hook up culture but rather educating them on their bodies, rights, consent etc etc. so providing them with the information and tools to make informed choices, that is the empowerment aspect and where feminism is concerned.

feminism is also concerned with policy and state level interventions. removing barriers and including women certain conversations. for example, legalizing abortion and increasing access to abortion, reproductive and sexual health care. there is also conversations around things like HIV which historically has focused on gay men with no regard for women particularly sex workers. also general health research and development of care procedures that focus on women's sexual health so STI treatments. for example, some stis manifest different in women compared to men often being asymptomatic in the latter. knowing about this and understanding why this happens as well as the impact it can have on women's bodies is important. but if live in a society that view sex as immoral and stis as punishment for immoral sex behaviour then women will be impacted. and in these case empowerment would be removing the internalized shame and encouraging women to seek out care and routine testing.

that being said, there is the issue of liberal feminism coopting the conversation and turning it into marketable slogans and theory-less advocacy campaigns. because liberalism inherently views independent choice as activism, individual choices will be framed as empowerment rather than the actions around as outlined above. a lot of people tend to conflate sexual liberation as a feminist framework with the sanitized liberal feminist version and are comfortable doing so because well we live in a conservative society and dont want to confront our biases when it comes to sex and sexuality. that's where you get this mythical millennial feminist movement that a lot of online radfems seem to blame for all the sexual violence women experience today and use to justify sex negative attitudes and narratives. their understanding of sexual liberation comes from pop musicians, victoria secret and mtv rather than actual scholarly works. its why you have so many feminist to this day blindly pushing the "all heterosexual is rape" narrative without a second thought or understanding of that statement.

my focus is really on women's sexuality and sexuality in general so it does bother me a lot whenever i see people talking down women's sexual choices and using liberal feminist and corporate slogans to dismiss what i believe to be a major part of feminism.

Those are definitely very important things that feminism should be advocating for.

Very true, what you said about liberal feminism
