I am not afraid to keep on living!!

I have kind of a niche political view on tumblr, which is that I think misogyny is bad even when it’s just hurting women

and I don’t even think it needs to have a singular benefit for men for feminism and the abolition of patriarchy to be worthwhile

in fact the abolition of patriarchy could be a net loss for men and I would still think that feminism and the abolition of patriarchy was worth it

(Comes back from the evil sorceress’s tower covered in suspiciously placed bruises and poorly hidden hickeys) Uh Yeah Uhm she was torturing me Haha don’t worry abt it. By the way have you guys ever considered joining Her Dark Army

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"

Sober as fuck at the back of the club going onto Wikipedia and typing "List of birds"

I think the "pre" and "post" parts in "preposterous" should cancel each other out but everyone else seems to find my idea completely erous

july is like a second go at new years. u have to treat it as such so u dont spin out

girl vampires are so cool we need more girl vampires in general

and like. girl vampires who are given the same kind of depth as male vampires of reconciling their own monstrous desires with how human they still are or not. and not like. vapid sexy temptresses or whatever. they have their time and place but i want a girl vampire desperately gripping the sink looking into the mirror just to see what isnt there anymore

also no one says it but the punchline of "trans inclusive misogyny" is almost always the implicit assumption that transfeminine people do not actually experience misogyny in our day-to-day life. thats why its considered humorous and acceptable to do, rather than just being. misogyny against women.

my personal pet peeve vis a vis grace atticwife posting isn't actually anything to do with the posts or au itself, that's all fine, it's just that the way fandom currently uses the term "atticwife" appears to have mostly divorced itself from what The Wife In The Attic actually represents in jane eyre and that Personally ticks me off in a gothic nerd way. I think fandom currently uses it as a shorthand to basically mean "a beloved imprisoned in a gilded cage," while in jane eyre it's more "living reminder of something horrific the hero has done and is still doing that he's trying to hide from the heroine." I hear "ryland grace atticwife au" and imagine adrian as the jane eyre in the situation, cautiously asking their spouse "...by the way, what, uh. happened. to that alien you brought back home? it was a big deal at the time but it's been years and I haven't heard anything more about it" and rocky saying "oh, well humans have such short life spans and high medical needs, it's basically just on palliative care for the time being, don't worry. also the banging on the biodome is the air vents, pay it no mind." or I imagine stratt hiring a new young staff member as an assistant when the beetles come back to earth and them realizing that there are weird cuts in the video logs sometimes, and their boss keeps redirecting conversation when they try to bring up the circumstances of the original launch around other people, and no matter how hard they try they can't find copies of ryland grace's informed consent paperwork when everything else related to project hail mary is so meticulously and publicly archived. but, alas, this is not what other people mean.
