when i say “i hate men” im not talking about every individual man in the world, im talking about men as a social class, but if youre the kind of man that gets offended when i say i hate men then i do, specifically, hate you on an individual level

i somehow simultaneously wholeheartedly believe in love as an all-powerful healing and deeply revolutionary force AND yet am utterly convinced that i am at my core unloveable lmao

there are 4 planets in retrograde right now plus a full moon and everyone i know is either off the walls horny, disassociating, or more depressed than usual

Every time I see another girl I knew from high school/childhood get married and take her husbands name my heart breaks a little more. It breaks even more when they have a baby and they don’t even have their mothers name. The woman who birthed them doesn’t get to claim the baby under her name. It’s her husbands baby. And she is also her husbands.

what fucks me up about this even more is even if you keep your name, that name was given to you by your father. Even if you changed to your mother’s maiden name, that name was given to her by her father. It just makes our historic invisibility seem so much more real. for millennia men’s inheritance of property demands women take their names. women have never had their own name.

It’s like, when you think about all the men in your family, your dad, your brother, your grand father, your uncles, your cousins and your nephews, they will all have the same last name. But all the equivalent female relations? There’s no name to hold them all together. They just disappear into the males names, with no identity.

Woah, that’s creepy. No offense, but I think the first post is a little exaggerated. Getting the name of your husband is not about ‘being your husbands’ and you shouldn’t think that either. I, for once, would love to have the name of my future wife (or husband) and I never thought of it in such a creepy way, because I’m definitely not the property of someone else because I have their last name? What the fuck? They get their last name because they love their husbands (or their wives) and you want to be called like them, to show you belong together (and that’s the only sort of belong I’ve ever seen in this). Like, if your surname is that important to you, okay then, but my identity is surely not determined by my surname?? 

I’m assuming you’re a guy because you 100% don’t get it. Your “wife”? Yeah. Her last name isn’t hers. It’s her fathers. And his father before him too. My point is that no woman (that I know of) has a WOMANS last name. All of our names come from men. Do you not see how fucked that is? I don’t even have my own name to claim. It’s my dad’s. Even if I were to take my moms maiden name, it’s my grandpa’s. And honestly don’t even try to pretend that most women aren’t still expected to take their husbands name. It was set up that way a looooong ass time ago BY men as a way to claim “head of household”. Meaning, men are in charge of their family.

no ones ever gonna do it like these five demons… my kids gonna get into some new boyband shit n like it really will never be one band one dream one direction like no group of men will ever be this talented at first and foremost lying and then secondly singing

i just need to know how one of the worst shows ever made (shadowhunters) can contain one of the best gay scenes (the wedding)
