The Lair of the Bear-breathing Dragon

Remember! Minimalism is a scam by Big Small to sell more less!

gender essentialism is soooo funny bc it's like "this is what women are like" and you're like "I've met women and many of them, if not the majority, have not been like that" and it's like "well women SHOULD be like that" and you're like "why should women be like that" and its like "because that's what women are like"

mature content warnings on text posts of nothing but letters on a screen. . . remember when you were allowed to post like an adult and not be shamed or silenced for it

They hate me for being a horny pervert but I have warriors defending my honour across the globe

Reading her account of how their boss treated her blows me away. Men are so emboldened that they will literally admit to illegal discrimination casually and face no consequences.

In all the years of seeing this post I’ve never seen a link to her side. Didn’t even know she’d written one.

I’ve reblogged his story at least twice; it’s time for Nicole’s.

Reblogging from mine.

Anyone who makes complaints about fast food employees doesn't deserve to be loved

Counterpoint: fast food employees are allowed to complain about coworkers if those fellow fast food employees make their job more difficult, unsafe, or more miserable, without compromising the love they deserve.

I've never even heard of "go take your meds" as a dismissive line, and I still refer the trans women that have wronged me personally (stole from my house, lied about events they weren't present for, etc) as women. But if countering "libtard" with "conservatard" is wrong, I'm going to be wrong until they stop using it first in conversations. Note, I still don't use that suffix in any other context.

Revealing the ignorance of my youth here, but who is this and what is she known for?

Anita Sarkeesian, feminist who interpreted media under a feminist lens. She did a series about video games and she was the subject of targeted harassment. That was the start of gamergate

Minor correction, the start of gamergate was based around a different reporter, Zoe Quinn, but they were both absolutely violently threatened over their involvement in video game criticism and development. A hate campaign was started by Quinn's ex-boyfriend when he wrote a post falsely accusing them of dating video game journalists in order to receive positive reviews on their own game, Depression Quest, which led other bad actors to accuse all women in the industry (Zoe identified as female at the time) of perceived sexual immorality. Anita Sarkeesian's brilliant Youtube series Tropes vs Women in Video Games (which everyone should watch, right now) sparked a particular nerve for criticizing popular games of killing and/or victimizing any important female character (there is a CHILLING bit that borders on ludicrous where she describes the plots of a seemingly endless parades of games as "In [title], [male player character's] wife dies, and you then have to rescue [his] daughter."). That series did actually make a huge change in the industry, especially when touted by progressive legacy developers like Tim Schafer (Monkey Island, Psychonauts), who went on to expand hiring in his company to front women and minority voices, but the shift didn't really show for a long time and echoes of the sexism that plagues the industry at its core are still rampant.

“This collapse is a telltale sign of a problem known as publication bias. Small, early studies which found a significant sex difference were likelier to get published than research finding no male-female brain difference.”

Gotta be honest, this would negate 75% of my online pro-trans arguments but I can still adapt and use this information to prove that gender is a quality independent of sex.

Bestie with love that sounds like a lot of those arguments rely on bio essentialism

You are right. Between being raised by a conservative bioessentialist and trying to argue with bioessentialist transphobes using their own logic against them, I was still operating under obsolete information until today. Thanks again for sharing this so I can keep learning and revising my perception of reality.
