>self described queer

ah, yes

If lots of men start calling themselves radical feminist, it no longer matters if other people think men can't be radical feminist because they've now taken that word and people now understand that word to include men who call themselves radical feminists. That's how language works.

>self described queer

ah, yes

there is also a ridiculous amount of systematic discrimination of men in the judicial system.

IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THAT A LOT OF US DON’T HAVE ANY LOVE FOR HIM EITHER AND WANT HIM HELD ACCOUNTABLE ALSO.

An no amount of finger pointing at the other candidate is going to absolve Biden of all his wrong doing.

You have to condemn them both.

Not condemn one an excuse the other.

Right now we have this situation where (people don’t believe Trump did it) Versus people who are OK WITH BIDEN DOING IT.

In one case we can’t see what all went on while in the other case we can see it right In front of our faces.

If the Trump’s accusations are true then turning a blind eye is bad and wrong. However if the Biden’s accusations are true then endorsing and defending his actions are worse.

Predatory behavior doesn’t become OK when someone else does it.

I dont ever again want to hear comparisons to Handmaids Tale while screaming about Trump/Kavanaugh only to proudly drive in front of bullets for the likes of Biden/Clinton.

This it’s why it irks me so much when everyone points at the right whenever we’re holding the left accountable.

Most women (lesbians or not) don’t actually hate men, they love them. Lesbians don’t care about men, they don’t center their lives around men, unlike radfems.

Last night I had a dream that there was a My Little Pony episode about terfs.

 Thing is I wasn’t ever really into the show at all, though watched some episodes cause I was curious of why so many my age liked it. Wasn’t my thing. Haven’t watched it since.

So anyway,

The purple pony explained at a party that it was for this pony that was trans and the party was celebrating his coming out. She wanted to show the audience what happens if you’re a terf, so she kinda forces the dragon dude to say something like “that’s not a dude” and is instantly transported to a place where there are terf ponies.

some things are a blur but one of the things that happened was a terf pony asked “how can you tell if a person is trans?” and the others just screamed “by grabbing their crotch!”

Like I’m not even in the dream yet I’m thinking “yeah that sounds like something a terf would say”.

This is what we are teaching girls. Toxic behavior with no fear of consequence. This becomes a part of their identity. Part of how they see themselves, the world around them, their relationship to that world and to men in particular. Remember this post https://www.alwaysbewoke.com/post/185366310577/dear-teen-girls? Girls (and women) don’t just wake up one morning and decide to do and be these things. It’s bit by bit. Little by little. Inch by inch they are taught these behaviors are acceptable. And it starts from childhood with cartoons like these. By the time a girl reaches their teen years, how many times have they gotten this message? Hundreds? Thousands? That’s a lot of educating happening there. A lot of identification. A lot of marrying such bad behavior with the idea of being a girl, being a woman. Toxic feminity is a thing. It always has been. Just like toxic masculinity. The difference is that we aren’t doing anything about it. In fact, with cartoons and characters like this we are encouraging it. This is what I’m talking about when I say

Men are told to see violence towards them as normal and acceptable as long is from women (under certain circumstances). Is not just how others see you, but how you see yourself as well. Self hatred is part of sexism.

Let’s remember it took months before China alerted the world about the disease, allowing it to quickly spread globally especially during the Chinese New Year mass travel period. Rather than addressing the issue, China arrested journalists and doctors who tried to sound the alarm. They also blocked information on social media, removed all news stories that attempted to report accurate infection numbers, ordered the destruction of lab evidence, stopped independent authorities from investigating it and then claimed the virus originated in the U.S.

It took until February 10 for the WHO to even send a team to China. They continued to lavishly praise China as they downplayed the threat of the coronavirus, taking months to classify it finally as a pandemic because that “might spook the world further.” This pro-China attitude from the WHO might be explained by China’s efforts to “tirelessly work behind the scenes” in ensuring Tedros Adhanom became the WHO’s director-general. 

Tedros previously served in the government of the violently repressive Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front. This movement was responsible for human right abuses such as torture, repression and electoral fraud. During his time as health minister, Tedros was known for covering up three cholera outbreaks. Once ushered in as director-general, Tedros quickly repaid China’s support. The first day after his election he expressed support for the Chinese Communist Party’s claim over Taiwan. Not long after, he appointed dictator Robert Mugabe, a China ally, as a “goodwill ambassador” which was described by diplomats as an obvious “payoff.” This support was quickly reciprocated when China funded a new $80 million CDC in Tedros’ country, Ethiopia. 

Instead of investigating or writing about China’s dirt machine working in real time as we watch the virus rapidly spread across the globe, journalists are more interested in writing their own pro-China, anti-American virus hot takes. China does not just want to hide their mishandling of the outbreak but they want to blame the origin of the virus on the United States and paint themselves as heroes saving the rest of the world from the pandemic they started. 

Disputing the name “Wuhan virus” is China’s first big hurdle in distancing themselves from the virus and the media and politicians are only too happy to play along. Calling the virus by its origin name, a long-held practice of naming new diseases is now according to our media “conservatives” deploying “racist tropes.” CNN even attacked Trump as being xenophobic because he used the word “foreign” to describe the virus. It kinda sounds like we’re instead meant to think of it as an American/Western disease, doing China’s work for them. 

Aside from the constant stressing that any reference to China and Wuhan or the world “foreign” is racist and any attempt to control our borders and stop the spread is “xenophobic,” the media and politicians have also spread countless misinformation and anti-Trump fabrications, everything from “Trump thinks the virus is a hoax” to “Trump refused testing kits from the WHO.” The praise for a communist regime whose tactics have cost countless lives around the world is not just un-American but disgusting. But what’s even more messed up is their willingness to aid in the Chinese regime’s propaganda and misdirection efforts. 

Just now, after over 40,000 people tweeted #ChinaLiedPeopleDied, it began trending nationally. Within moments, the hashtag was instantly replaced with #TrumpLiedPeopleDied despite having a fraction of the tweets and the original hashtag vanished from the trending list altogether. 

Although it’s hard to imagine now, this is bigger than the Wuhan virus. Authoritarian regimes like China are always seeking to challenge the United States and the West. China is never going to stop using coercion to seek change that serves their interests. This was true before the Wuhan virus and it will be after. The media’s willingness to share an American enemy’s talking points has aided the enemy and hurt Americans. If that doesn’t make them the enemy of the people, what ever will?
