Yeah whatever you say

When I tell yall nothing radicalized me feminist ways like being homeless in a major American city. I was freshly 30 but I could count on one hand the other single women who looked younger than me, old women who were so emaciated they couldn't stand, visible decades long drug addicts, my bedmate who was 60+ and clearly needed to be in an assisted facility, a high fence separating us from the moids in the warehouse that they constantly tried to look through, triple the amount of men in the shelter than women, and I just wondered like it's such bullshit that it's expected of women to either have "kids to take care of you" or have a shittty husband you bust your ass outliving.

We have a lot of voices on the gender critical side who have done extraordinarily well with bringing attention to how young people with autism and same sex attraction are disproportionately at risk of falling victim to trans medicalization. We rarely hear about how foster kids are disproportionately more likely to identify as trans.

the first therapist said this to me when I expressed having difficulty relating to the heterosexual life patterns of everyone around me

straight homophobia: all lesbians hate men and want them to die

What do you think of the opinion that white women saying "who set the system up" and talks of the patriarchy is a tactic that silences black men? I'm curious about the nuance of this conversation and if these topics truly in some ways silence black men in regards to racism. I personally don't see white women talking about black men, usually it's just personal experiences with men in general or white men but I wonder if black men were harmed in any way bcs of this. Or even black women. This person compared it to the analogy of having proximity to the king (white woman having proximity to the king the white man) while others are outside (minorities) but you (white woman) still say the kingdom is very oppressive.

never forget that black men happily joined forces with white men to close ranks around both black and white women, when black men got the right to vote in the US. Black men got rights before white women, and black women. Never forget that when push comes to shove black men will choose to ally with other men who think of them as less than, as long as it means they don't have to ally with women. They've shown where their allegiance lies- with other men.

also a lot of the time people don't say anything if you don't say anything yourself. especially not if it's just a random hookup, which is what is clearly happening here (considering how he thinks he is not getting enough time, attention or connection). it's entirely possible that half of the people he had sex with just wanted the situation to be over with, and then they only talked about the experience to someone else, not you.
