Don't let the bastards get you down

quote from one of the journalists: “I’ve been searched by the morality police and I’m unable to travel without a male chaperone. Yet I cannot stop writing, because the crimes against the women of my country, myself among them, must never remain in silence, even if the price is a life lived in fear.”

What happened to recognizing that young people are more likely to be “dipshits” because they don’t have life experience and the wisdom that comes with it? Good god this reads like “it’s not a PHASE mom this is who I REALLY am, and anyone else who says that at my age and regrets it later once they are older is just uniquely stupid in a way I would never be”

does this also include trans lesbians

Oh so you’re one of those people

perfect example of how they ask "what about me im a twans woman 🥺" because they're looking for validation via your submission to them, and if you don't give them the answer they feel entitled to, you're labeled a TERF. they don't actually care about being welcome (they know you'll include them because you don't have a choice), they just wanna see you grovel. it's a power move.

Sometimes there is one correct way to do things and I'm going to let you know what that is actually!

so much kink shit is just men trying to justify their desire to hurt women and pretend like they can go into a room, hurt someone, get off to hurting someone, and then walk out as if that doesn’t mean anything about who they are as a person

Why is the bedroom seen as an alternative reality that won’t actually affect someone’s physical and mental health taking damage ? It’s not a game where your partner will respawn if you strangle her to death

Man what happened to sensation play. Texture play. Food play. 🥲. It seems to be just abuse play and that’s nothing to play about period.

Males came in and put their boots on the table, made it about control and conquest, and called it kink so they wouldn’t have to look at the violence of it.

“Neurons that fire together, wire together.” If you think that this is somehow not true of combining sex and love with violence and dominance, you need healing.

in "the spinster and her enemies" by sheila jeffreys, which discusses age of consent activism in the late 19th and early 20th century, there's a quote from an antifeminist man who complained that women's rights activists wanted to raise the age of consent "to the menopause." because raising the age to 18 is so egregious to male sensibilities that the age might as well be 45.

Re: Shen-I am once again saved from disappointment by not liking things that are ugly.

I think women in particular are pavlov'd into taking pity/liking ugly things and I am here to say that you don't have to do that and you can, in fact, look at someone else's work and call it fugly.

the annoying thing about weightlifting is that you have to lift weights that are a little too heavy for you if you want to get stronger. and you have to push yourself outside of your comfort zone in order to keep building muscle. fucked up.

thank god this same principle doesnt apply to any other skill you want to improve at! that would really suck.
