What

you know the thing straight white conservative guys do when someone mentions their privilege where they respond “I’m not privileged! My life has been hard too! I’ve suffered! Straight men have problems too! White people have hard lives too!”? That is the exact thing that you are doing if you claim that someone born female can’t possibly have some unique kind of suffering you can’t and won’t experience. Someone else suffering in a way you don’t suffer doesn’t take away from your own suffering, both can be true at once, even small children can grasp this. I’m sorry missing out on the full scope of sexism makes you dysphoric but that is entirely a problem for you to sort out by yourself, just like it’s Racist Guy’s problem to sort out that he feels like he’s missing out on social cred for his suffering because the POC are taking it all.

On what the male loneliness epidemic is really about. Given actual alternatives, women are opting tf OUT of "traditional roles".

is wanting to be a wife and mother a requirement for being a woman?

why might OP be annoyed with replies assuming that this post is about being aroace or transmasc if a woman doesn’t want to be a wife or mother?

are there reasons unrelated to sexuality and romantic interest that might make a woman not want to be a wife or mother?

are there reasons unrelated to gender identity and expression that might make a woman not want to be a wife and mother?

core concept: what is gender essentialism?

is it gender essentialism to imply that all women inherently want to be wives and mothers? could this be what OP is critiquing?

look at the notes OP responds to. is it gender essentialism to imply that being a wife and mother is so affixed to womanhood that to not want to be those things means you’re incapable of sexual/romantic feelings, or not a woman?

remake leon is very different from the og. he looks a lot more stern and the concept arts show him as almost like a delinquent type.

things people neglect to consider in those "not like other girls" posts convincing girls that they have more in common with other girls than they think:

if you're the NLOG sort, you likely didn't come up with that label yourself, these girls are othered (often for being neurodivergent or bi/gay, etc.) until they adopt it themselves. maybe even by those "typical" girls.

for a NLOG, being told that *you* should reach out to the typical girls (who again, may have bullied you) feels like it's putting a lot of the responsibility on the person being excluded and othered.

if you befriend those typical girls and find you have interests in common, they may still alienate you for the ways you are, in fact, still different from most other girls.

there's a chance that they will pressure you into doing the "typical girl" stuff. and to them its a fun bonding activity, but to you, it's a standard you have long been chastised for failing to meet.

they may not pressure you to be feminine. but it's also not fun to have all your friends bond over something that you've been treated like shit for not participating in.

this doesn't necessarily mean it's those girls' fault. or that you hate them. but it's still an isolating feeling that can make you, a hurt child, feel like it's not worth the effort to make friends with the typical girls.

because again. you, as a child, probably don't have the emotional intelligence or tools necessary to figure that stuff out on top of the other struggles of youth.

Glanced at American news and Republicans are trying to pass a bill to track pregnancies and would allow the gov to track pregnancies beginning to end so they gov can say if a foetal death is suspicious or not.

Misogyny permanently alters your life path.

There are binary trans men who pass today who still suffer from after-effects of fgm which a lot of the time cannot be cured.

There are binary trans men who pass today who do not have the basic education needed to advance in the modern world.

There are binary trans men who pass today who cannot walk/are permanently disabled by misogynistic practices in their youth.

There are binary trans men who pass today who will live in poverty forever because they were forced into marriages young

There are binary trans men who pass today who will never achieve their dreams because they were not allowed to play instruments or sport or early life skills that cannot be 'caught up' later in life

There are binary trans men who pass today who cannot have children because of reproductive violence

There are binary trans men who pass today who missed out on critical promotion years because they were forced to be wives/mothers

And this is not a #sadcore #never transition post, because all this stuff does not mean that you cannot live a happy and fufilling life, it does not mean that there isn't joy in transitioning or that the world is hopeless.

This idea that in order to be a happy man you must deny the role of misogyny in your life is such an insidious lie because it forces trans activists to either shove every single one of these men (plus all the ones who dont even pass/transition/know they're trans now) under the bus, or discourage young boys from transitioning.

Hint: Pretty much everyone chooses the 'lets throw these trans men under the bus and blot their brains out to the reality of transmasculinity' option.

Literally. Some of you heard this quote 'How many Einstein’s have spent their lives washing dishes, how many Mozart’s bent over stoves instead of pianos, because they had the misfortune of being born a woman?' and said: But the moment you find out you're a man it can all go away!

Anyway this is getting long and disjointed but my point is basically summed up with: misogyny permanently alters your life path and there is not such thing as 'graduating' from the affects of systematic oppression

A Pokemon only counts for itself, not its evolution line.

A Pokemon with multiple forms (like Zygarde) will only be counted for the specified form. A Pokemon with multiple appearances (like Spinda, Vivillon, Sylvally, etc.) count for all their appearances.

Language shapes the narrative and we must utilize it precisely so that real issues do not transform into spectacles. That is what is happening right now and it is not helping anyone but those who want to simplify this situation as the rich preying on the poor. The kind that is made for provocation and stops there. An echo that pierces nothing. Insisting a gender-neutral discussion on Epstein is the pinnacle of ignorance. Intentionally omitting the variable of prevalent gender patterned violence is not at all materialist. When you insist, “The elites abuse power.” you imply that power is a problem within itself but when you start looking at the problem holistically and conclude: Powerful men sexually exploit girls and women — you see a gendered pattern of violence that persists beyond class lines and, most of the time, is further intensified by it.

Let me ask you: What is the ratio between men and women in the files? How many women were on the files to confess they saw monstrosities and how many men inquired about “pizza”— a cryptic term speculated to be related to a pedophilia ring?

When you talk about the files and refer to the perpetrators as “elites”, you lose sight of the more important variable of the situation, they were disproportionately male. Elites weren’t the base of the problem, they are a particular demographic of males who were there. Everyone’s first mistake is assuming the issue is detached from male tyranny. That it is beyond the male-over-female dominance.

Remember this, the defining feature of the island was not about eating babies or being sickeningly wealthy. It’s the women and children’s sexual trafficking ring. Epstein, afterall, was a convicted sex offender.
