when will libfems realize that men don't want to be liberated from patriarchy? why would a king want to be "liberated" from his throne? to share the laundry? to lose the right to walk down a street and see every female body as a potential meal? he doesn't want to cry with you. he doesn't want to be "vulnerable." he doesn't want to give up being a breadwinner. he doesn't want to be your equal.

every time a woman overexplains herself and makes a hundred disclaimers before criticising prostitution or objectification of women in media, just to prove that she's not, in fact, a prude or "sex-negative", a beautiful angel cries inconsolably

from violence to baldness we're all just expected to pretend that male patterns don't exist

men will complain 'but women forced their way into male spaces first' and they mean like. steady employment, hobbies or politics

Why am I supposed to empower myself as a woman by “reclaiming” everything misogynistic and degrading and pornified.... I’d rather “reclaim” my rightful dignity and humanity lmfaoo

I don’t understand how gender identity isn’t more embarrassing for people. You’re LARPing as something you will never be and in most cases clearly are not. You’re demanding that everyone around you play along. You’re throwing around slurs that you have no business even thinking of saying and you think it’s cute. You’re basing your entire sense of self on sexist stereotypes and the nebulous concept of “gender”. How are you not embarrassed?

hey man that's a really neat analysis of structural oppression and discrimination you got there ever wondered what would happen if we applied it to women? you know, for science

"I remember perceiving very early, in almost a raw way, that if people didn't find women almost seductive, they generally regarded them with disgust. I remember seeing that and knowing there wasn't a neutral feeling toward women, whereas people mainly felt toward men in a neutral way. They didn't go out of their way to make fun of an older man walking down the street, whereas with a woman there were countless ways to describe her, as a cow or a dragon lady, all those contemptuous terms. Unless she's upfront seductive, generally the terms are contemptuous. I remember realizing that as a kid. I remember even discussing it with people, trying to figure out why it was so. I was absolutely baffled by it because I perceived myself mainly as neutral and invisible, and I didn't particularly want to be perceived either way, either with disgust or as seductive. So obviously that must influence my writing. I don't like to deal with that aspect of life. I don't like going around in a book being somebody who has to either be seductive or face people's disgust. I haven't resolved all my feelings about it, so it's easier to write from the male point of view. I do find it easier to write about gay men for that reason and others. I feel like I'm removed from everything, that I can really have a fresh perspective." -- Conversations With Anne Rice, by Michael Riley

Idk who needs to hear this, but that girl in high school who was mean to you is not proof that women commit the same atrocities that men do

i have a post where i mentioned "don't marry a man who won't do dishes" and someone added "dont marry ANYONE who won't do dishes!!!!" and like. hey. do you think there is a historical cultural context for why, specifically, men who refuse to do housework and expect a wife to also act as a live-in maid for him are more of a problem than the reverse.

on tumblr, it's more important to remind everybody that women who refuse to do housework are immoral

yeah i know women were basically seen as subhuman throughout the whole history; but we as feminists shouldn’t forget about the suffering men have to endure under patriarchy: being called woman-like (derogatory) in case they fail to support the system of male supremacy.
