it actually makes me blindingly angry when men act apologetic or anxious about things that just are not misogynistic in the slightest because it tells me that you don’t know what misogyny actually is & you don’t care enough to learn or to think about it for two seconds. mostly along the lines of performing this weird cringing (but also sort of brag-y?) guilt about being sexually attracted to women “oh my god sorry I’m such a pig” etc. as if that is at all the problem.

like on the one hand I try to be sympathetic because we do live in a culture where the concept of being sexually attracted to women & of wanting to enact sexual violence upon women are all but equated, and maybe that’s difficult to sort out. but on the other hand, shut the ever-loving fuck up

i wish we were able to talk about women's rights without someone mentioning how much they do or don't want to have sex with them. i don't care if you're a lesbian Stop finding worth in women purely from their perceived attractiveness

"I think women should not be expected to shave for societal respect / to avoid discrimination" "yeah🤤 i love bush" ok well that's not what we're talking about is it.

i hate how many posts about trans women deserving respect always devolve into "I love girldick" or "trans rights but I don't want to date a trans person" because that's entirely unrelated to the topic at hand. you should not respond to feminism with "YESSS I loveeee you because I see you as nothing but a sex object" you people sound like other men I get stuck talking with that end up saying "free the nipple so I can see boobies in public" and thinking they're feminists. why can't we just respect women regardless of your attraction to them or not. why does it need to be brought up in every conversation regarding their rights

I NEED A SICKO… im holding out for a sicko till the end of the night ..and hes gotta haha and hes gotta say yess at the window with a look of delight

Man what the hell I went to the club in my dream and my brain made up a new goth band that was the New Hottest Edgy Thing when when I woke up I realized the lyrics were just "I love you vampire. Monday vampire Tuesday vampire Wednesday vampire every day vampire" and it just goes on like that in like a typical bauhaus esque goth voice. What. Kindergarten goth song

I hate the way that people use the word "inherently" just to mean "very" rather than literally "in a manner that belongs to the basic nature or essence of something; inextricably." it makes it difficult to discern what argument they're actually making

e.g. somebody saying "AI is inherently racist" is either somebody being correct about current instantiations & usages of 'AI' who just doesn't know what the word "inherently" means, or somebody being incorrect and kind of mystical about 'AI,' & it is impossible to tell which one without asking

somebody sent this to John Stuart Mill after he published On the Subjection of Women

what's that sonnet variation that's like. lamenting that outsiders would not understand & thus the speaker will "give the rhymes and leave the rest"? the last quatrains are just the end rhymes: fire / desire / lies / thighs

here it is if anybody is interested

“but if i communicate it perfectly then they will understand me” WRONG 10,000 years of suffering

reminder to all disabled people that you’re allowed to tell people “i can’t do that” about stuff you can ‘technically’ do but which harms you or requires a period of recovery or preparatory rest etc. you don’t have to explain the complex nuances of your condition to anybody who demands it. i’ve found it’s honestly better to give the least amount of info about your symptoms unless you trust a person a lot. you hold the power over your health information. you choose whether or not to share the details of your condition with people who might not understand.
