Yeah so there’s this thing called misogyny, it’s when you hate, or as “Lily” here described, “have little fondness for” female people as a class. Mask is off. It was never about FTMs being trans men, therefore their “oppressors”, that’s just a convenient narrative they use to justify their misogyny towards trans men. They hate all female people from the start.

Be okay with rap lyrics that portray women as objects. Be okay with reading the classics by white male authors who didn't shy away from letting the reader know just how much they hated women. Be okay with the use of imagery depicting violence against women for shock value by metal bands. Be okay with the blonde pop star posing like a dog while a man pulls her hair. Be okay with shaving your body hair. Be okay with applying makeup every day. Be okay with using noncancerous chemicals to straighten your hair. Be okay with ads showing half naked women. Be okay with other cultures' traditions such as head coverings, widows who are thrown in their husband's funeral pyre, female genital mutilation, forced marriages. Be okay with biological males dressing up as a caricature of women and stepping into your spaces. Be okay with language changes such as "chestfeeding" and "people who menstruate". Be okay with having to reconsider calling yourself a lesbian if you're not attracted to trans women and are repulsed by dick. Be okay with unlearning your "genital preference". Be okay with being strangled and beaten by your partner during sex. Be okay with being called a bitch, as it is not a slur. Be okay with the existence of an industry dedicated solely to the sexual exploitation of vulnerable women. Be okay with games from the point of view of a rapist. Be okay with children having access to videos showing women being raped. Be okay with protecting your rapist's career by not coming forward with an accusation. Be okay with the statistics that show your male partner is the person most likely to rape and/or kill you. Be okay with doctors dismissing your health issues. Be okay with your contributions being erased from history and your work being stolen by mediocre men.

The price of men's comfort is women's discomfort. We're supposed to stomach this discomfort all the time, no matter what. And for what? So that men can get to continue living in a system that benefits them and them alone?

Gotta blame everyone else before confronting the reality that you get reallll defensive over a post that does not involve you whatsoever.

Who the fuck do you think is raping women? Ghosts? Nah, it’s men. Women on women rape is such a small fraction of a percentage of rape cases. Sorry if that offends you but men have a long and documented history of not being able to resist putting their dicks in places they aren’t welcome in. (Sounds familiar already…)

Specifically I remember watching an episode of Dexter’s Laboratory as a kid where it was some situation that that he lost his swimsuit in the pool and ended the episode with a shot of his naked butt— totally fine for a kids show. No one bats an eye.

But if you asked anyone what was the dirtiest thing they remember in Dexter’s Lab? Dexter’s mom’s animation style. She was always fully clothed yet remains one of the most sexualized cartoon characters of all time because the female body is inherently sexual. No one treats an “attractive” male character, like Johnny Bravo for instance, the same way. Not by a long shot.

Case in point:

Exhibit A

Aunt Cass from Big Hero 6. Widely sexualized on the Internet even when dressed like a regular person and not even designed to be sexual. When I googled her, practically half of the search images were photoshopped to give her cleavage and make it look as the movie itself heavily sexualized her. I was gonna put elastigirl as an example but even she is toeing the line of being intentionally designed to be sexually appealing.

Exhibit B

A TV show for young boys about a fucking naked butt that comes to life. I couldn’t even make this up if I wanted to. A whole ass studio production revolving a naked body part that is treated as “gross out humor” at worst because the male body is not sexualized the way women are. If it was even implied that a cartoon girl’s nude butt came to life (why am I even writing this) then the show would not be for kids.
