females who hold radical feminist beliefs, unhinge yourself from identity politics. Do not swap out gender identity for “radfem identity” it’s a capitalist scam!!!!!

I’m seeing so many young girls come right out of the trans right activist pipeline into radical feminism (understandable!!!) treating it like it’s another “identity”. babes it’s an ideology - you can believe in it (parts of it) but it’s not who you are. You’ll burn out treating like an identity, just take a step back from treating online communities like a defining feature of the self.

i've said it before but i'll say it again, people coming out of religious indoctrination typically deconstruct the CONENT of their belief systems before they deconstruct the STRUCTURE of their belief systems

Any form of feminism should be recognized as a political belief system! And that political belief system should be supported by action! A belief system should never be an identity

If I was JK Rowling and I wrote a plotline in my book series about a race of enslaved people whose horrible mistreatment at the hands of the bad guys is part of what establishes them as bad guys, and there were multiple crucial plot points that involve someone either being punished for dehumanizing them and/or rewarded for freeing them, and the only main character who is okay with their enslavement could not get his happy ending until he realized that he was wrong and aligned himself with freeing them, and the whole thing was a pretty explicit metaphor for the patriarchy and how some ‘tradwife’ women are complacent in their oppression but that DOESN’T make it ok for men to treat them like commodities… and then countless people online criticized me for ‘writing a plotline that excuses slavery’ ???? I would have the biggest crashout of my life. A lot of you like to say ‘Harry Potter was poorly written’ but what you actually mean is ‘I don’t have enough media literacy to understand a series written for children’

well house elves are an allegory for slavery not tradwives. So like, maybe get some reading comprehension?

OP the only difference between you and a transphobe is that a transphobe is willing to stick to their guns and continue to insist that gender doesn't really exist even in situations where they are expected to pretend that it does. All of us started out trying to be nice and trying to find common ground with trans people, and all of us got called transphobes for it anyway. At a certain point, we all had to admit that we couldn't hold onto our critiques of gender roles and support transgenderism at the same time.

sucking at something is the first step to getting good at it

modern Snow White where instead of a magic mirror it's just an AI chatbot driving the stepmother insane because it's programmed to agree with her and confirm her fears

im probably not the first person to think of the phrase "freddy dunning-krueger" but i have nonetheless come up with it independently and will be trying to find a situation i can use it in. proposed target: male doctors

After 13 years of this, it's still funny to me that detailing a full mental breakdown on tumblr is standard fare, but posting a nice selfie is a fraught decision.

this is the correct way around and every other social media site is wrong

I just saw a video title on YouTube that said something like “Why is glass transparent?” And that’s an interesting question and I’m sure it’s great that the video exists but my first thought was like “Because glass is terrible, obviously.” Because it’s unwieldy and let’s out warmth and needs to be heated to hundreds of degrees to be shaped and turns into hundreds of tiny daggers if you drop it. Why the hell would we bother with that if it didn’t have some magical quality like being totally transparent despite being solid? Glass is transparent because if it weren’t, we’d use something else.

looking through my “me” tag and this is apparently what I was thinking 3 years ago

this is amazing and I’m really glad I reblogged that old bullshit post because I got to learn this
