@haveuevermetme
full offense the fact that the porn industry is worth literally more than the entire hollywood film industry automatically destroys any credibility the “not all men” camp ever had. you cannot convince me that you can derive pleasure from seeing someone battered and used and not have some kind of hatred or contempt for them.

i'm still a leftist but in my experience women are viewed as expendable in leftist spaces, spoken over, treated as stupid, on a level that is astounding. you can get away with an enormous level of vitriolic hatred for women if you couch it in the right terms
yeah they think it's bourgeois and childish and that you are bourgeois and childish if you are a feminist. sometimes the ones that want to act like Allies to Women will act like it's cute (read: naïve) that you're a feminist and expect you to be flattered by that. otherwise you're stuck up and obnoxious for acknowledging rape culture, caring about your own safety, and not believing in bullshit like "rich women don't experience misogyny"
today i just learned that male ballet dancers don't have to be 'en pointe' or on their toes while dancing. They dance on the balls of their feet. En pointe is reserved for female ballet dancers only, unless the males are doing comedy or drag roles...that's fucking crazy. why does no one talk about this. have you seen ballerina feet? why are women always tortured in the name of femininity? (ballerina feet under the cut its a bit gross cuz of injury)
Pair figure skating is similar. For a start, the women wear very revealing clothes while the men are fully clothed. Imagine men performing in a t-shirt and tiny underwear.
And women are also the ones being held, lifted and thrown around by men, risking major injuries and even death.
I'm not going to show you accident pictures you can just imagine what happens when she or he loses balance, misses a landing, loses their grip or slips on the ice. It happens. And it's not pretty.
Especially during lifts, because he's usually holding her hands tight, so she can't get free in time to protect herself as she hits the ice. Like on the picture with the purple outfit, one woman fell forward from this position, her hands stuck in his. Her head hit the ice full speed, twisted her neck, she didn't get up and had to be carried off the ice. (She survived.) Meanwhile the men are like... lifting weight while keeping their balance.
There's even this figure called the Death Spiral. That's the official name. Above is an exhibition variation. Normally, the man has to crouch and maintain position while she spins around him very fast and as low as possible.
The problem is, if his foot slips, the blade can hit her throat or face. I saw it happen once, she had a huge cut on her face, right bellow her eye and they had to stop right here and there.
And what's more, usually if the woman has an accident, the man keeps on skating as if nothing happened. He only stops if she can't get up at all. It's always fascinating to me. Well, it used to be. I don't watch it anymore obviously.
Since 2005, there are more registered female drivers than males and for the past 30 years male drivers account for 70% of all fatal car accidents.
this one is particularly good because whenever I present vehicular fatalities by sex stats I usually am hit with "well men drive more/there's more male drivers than women" which always struck me as particularly stupid even before seeing the numbers of registered drivers. Nice to know that even with MORE women drivers than men men are still taking the lions share of reckless driving. Males really are bad at driving and they are fucking idiots too. This is the sex that thinks wearing seatbelts and driving sober is gay.
Do you realize how many ways women are shamed for not dying? We're shamed for getting older. We're shamed for having c-sections. We're shamed for surviving assault. When our mere existence is a defiance to a system that want our lives missing, we dismantle the patriarchy each time we choose living.

The Will To Change by Bell Hooks fucked me up good
Actually most of words we use for sex are violent, not just fuck. My Marriage and Family professor pointed this out during my freshmen year of college and it’s stayed with me. Think about it…. bang, screw, hit it, pound, smash, rail, plow, pound, like our entire culture has tried to remove the concept of intimacy and vulnerability and emotion from sex by associating violent words with the action. The power of language on culture, perspective, and overall mindset is so incredible. We gotta be more careful and respectful of that.
Interestingly enough, the one term I can think of that isn’t violent, make love, is ridiculed in pop culture instead of used to create intimacy when talking about sex. I never considered that before. This whole post is food for thought.
Reblogging again for ^^this comment. I’d been thinking the same thing. You can say you had sex or fucked or banged but if you say you “made love” then you’re mocked as a naive, overly-romantic, teenage girl virgin or some other sexist bullshit.
I wonder what euphemisms are in other languages. I only know a few, but not well enough to write about them.
mainstream drag is like step 1. be a man, aka part of the class that has imposed insane gender stereotypes on women for millennia. step 2. dress up as an exaggerated hyper-sexualized version of said stereotypes. step 3. perform for an audience and have free reign to use every misogynistic slur under the sun. step 4. get on tv, become famous and make lots of money. step 5. take the drag off and continue being a man that's ultimately unaffected by those gender stereotypes while profiting off of them and doing nothing to change them
Right genuinely thank you for including this one bc i cannot stress this enough, the most important part isn’t just reinforcing those female beauty standards, it’s also profiting off of them at the literal expense of your fans (mostly women and girls). Bc of course these products are generally considered high end, niche, and expensive.
Drag race is like boot camp for narcissistic males to learn how to generate a cult of personality and exploit their following for every single penny they can wring out of them. Ru Paul picks contestants that he knows already do numbers on social media and he then gives them the tools and training they need to become a successful brand.
It’s quite seriously an influencer industrial complex
Step 7: frequently remind your audience in graphic detail how much you love cock and getting plowed and taking loads and even compare yourself to things like a public toilet or a glory hole, as a subtle reminder that you’re a gay man who couldn’t possibly be capable of ever harming women or being a misogynist
Strep 8 (optional): have a gender journey reveal at exactly the right moment to meteorically launch your career to stardom beyond your wildest dreams
i want to protect every young girl in the world being wrongly sexualized and forced to grow up way too fast
The 13-year-old girl from Stranger Things:
Her 15-year-old male costar:
JFC why can’t they leave that poor girl alone???
What’s sexual about this? @sespursongles
Gee i dunno, maybe the way they had her spread her legs and make an o-face???
She has to pose, he gets to play
Asking “what’s sexual about this” is almost insidous. Sure, she’s not naked and she’s not performing any sexual acts, but that’s not what sexualization necessarily means. The girl-child is looking longinly, languishingly into the camera. She has her legs in a short dress spread, her lips separated, and very much make-up making her look older. She is passive, for the camera/viewer, while the boy is active, joking, playing, relaxed and as a child, respected as a child. I’m sure someone might say, “but that’s you sexualizing her, with your gaze” but come on, who are we kidding here? We know the industry sexualizes young girls, we know this isn’t a coinscidence. We know this is the pattern, the model for woman according to the male gaze or woman performing for the male gaze, and we know she is 13 and that everyone knows she is. And we know this destroys girls.
she’s. wearing. heels.
that’s sexual enough for me.
The person who asked “what’s sexual about this” is a fucking ‘map ally’. Bih fuck off.
countries where prostitution is legal have higher rates of human trafficking. that’s like an actual fact. not an opinion or anything. so tbh it seems a bit ‘swerfy’ to completely ignore that
Why would trafficking increase when you have legalized prostitution.
Because if prostitution is legal, demand increases. And if it is legal, pimps and traffickers have more room to exploit and sell women under the guise of legal sex work.
In fact, in countries where it is legal, pimps and brothel owners are considered sex workers themselves.
Just because you legalize prostitution doesn’t mean women are going to be anymore willing to do it, but more men expect to go to prostitutes, so the demand for prostitution increases. Where do you get prostitutes if women aren’t willing to be them? you kidnap and traffick them!!
Thank you for explaining this so concisely. I always thought trafficking would decrease if prostitution was legalized, so this is good to know.
it’s worth pointing out that Germany, who’s always touted as very progressive for legalizing prostitution and instituting prostitution unions, has become the human trafficking hub of Europe since those laws were implemented.

The fact that a wealthy, white mother-of-two in California with access to excellent prenatal and birth care, acting as a surrogate for another family in the safest, cleanest, least coercive of all possible surrogacy arrangements, died this week while giving birth really underscores the surrogacy thoughts I've been having recently. Should you be ethically willing or legally able to compel another woman to risk death at worst and major lifetime health consequences at best just so you can have a child that is biologically related to you?
Here’s an article about it.
She died of an amniotic fluid embolism, which is rare but very deadly.
This post gives another example of a surrogate dying and includes this disturbing information:
An article online incorrectly states “the risks of being a surrogate mother are the same as for every pregnancy.” This is not true. Recent studies have shown that surrogate pregnancies are different and are high-risk. Studies show that women pregnant with donor eggs (as in gestational surrogacy) have a more than three-fold risk of developing pregnancy induced hypertension and pre-eclampsia.
W/ the greater risk of hypertension/pre-eclampsia, why? Or rather, is it known why?
Because in a normal pregnancy the baby is >50% related to the mother. In surrogacy, an unrelated egg is used, which means entirely foreign biological material in the woman's body.
Pregnancy is basically a 9 month-long battle between the woman and the embryo; a "healthy" full-term pregnancy can only happen if, essentially, the women's body doesn't realize that the embryo is there, because if it does it will attack it with the woman's immune system as a "foreign body." This is the main reason the placenta exists, to shield the embryo from the woman's immune system (along with nutrient absorption obviously).
The closer the embryo is to the woman, the less likely an immune response will be triggered; this applies to gestational surrogacy, but also relates to things like the sex of the embryo and the embryo's blood type. So, the more genetically different an embryo is from its mother, the higher the overall risk of triggering an immune response, which then increases the likelihood of a smorgasbord of complications given the strain that an immune response causes both the mother and the embryo.
this is just personal observation, but all the people I know who had surrogates (which is only 3 so who really knows), their babies are so so sick all the time. Like months premature, weeks in NICU, multiple hospital stays in infancy, now constantly sick as toddlers, can’t keep weight on, lowest percentiles of height / weight, etc etc. Literally every one of them.
and maybe it’s just a coincidence but maybe you aren’t supposed to implant your eggs in another woman and assume her body will grow a healthy baby for you? not to even talk about what it does to an infant to be forcibly removed from their mother at birth….
This should be obvious to anyone who knows anything about pregnancy/women's healthcare. But because even doctors seem to think that pregnancy is when a woman just incubates a man's offspring for a few months, providing nothing but a chamber in which the baby can grow, they treat it as if it makes no difference where the embryo came from.
Surrogacy is this horrible intersection between modern medicine + capitalism and an almost medieval understanding of pregnancy. Worst of both worlds.
it's not only surrogacy. i meet a lot of kids who are the products of IVF, and the allergies, the immune issues, the eye issues, they are many. I wonder about embryos who have been frozen and thawed. surely that affects the human being? who went through that?
Now that everyone is discussing Nolan's Odyssey movie, I feel like it's a good time to let non-Italians know that the production dumped plastic props into the Italian sea. Weirdly enough I could not find any article in English about it but it's a fucking problem nonetheless.
I might translate this article later today. This one was the most complete one, even in Italian news it's not talked about that much.
Non è la prima volta che la produzione solleva un vespaio in Sicilia. A Lipari una squadra di sub sarebbe però già impegnata a bonificare i
They dumped plastic skeletons in environmentally protected areas, against the literal contracts they had to sign to get the permits to film in environmentally protected areas. Like they not only did a bad ecological thing that freaked out some divers, they literally broke environmental protection laws and their contract with the Italian government
Concerns about prop disposal as filming on new Nolan film comes to a close | www.italianinsider.it
“At depths of at least 18 meters, installations and props were discovered that risk damaging a natural marine habitat that is under protection, writes Il Fatto Quotidiano.”
If you are a woman, imagine this :
You are at home watching TV and on comes an advert. It features a young man having a drink with his male friends when they see a charming woman enter the bar. The man walks up to her and tries to seduce her but she ignores him. He looks back at his friends who are laughing at him. Suddenly, he leaves the bar and comes back later on with his hair dyed blue. The woman instantly throws herself at him, kissing him and all the men in the bar are stunned. “Go blue” is the name of the hair dye brand, for men only. The next day on the radio you hear another advert promoting blue hair for men in which a woman explains why blue hair gets her instantly turned on. Going on Facebook, articles are shared : “10 reasons why men with blue hair are the sexiest”. Another article is titled : “why women are turned off by natural hair colour”. Yet another article from a website called “OpenMindNaturaScience” explains why women’s brain is pleased with the colour blue and how this colour makes them happy because of biological reasons. On the subway, a poster shows a sexy man with blue hair running away from dozens of female models who all want a piece of him. Day after day the medias keep focusing on women’s preferences, especially their attraction towards the colour blue and blue hair. And little by little, all the men around you dye their hair blue. The bus driver, the customer, your boss, your friend, the man on the street. They all have different shades of blue hair. Some are even dressed in blue, buy blue cars, wear blue make up.
And you see all these men and start thinking : “They’re so obviously trying to please us women, they know that’s what we like, this is all for us. Look at this guy with his blue shoes and blue hair, obviously trying to get our attention… and this guy at work who pretends he doesn’t like me, he’s wearing blue nail polish, he’s trying to look tough, he might not even like me but he’s still trying to please me. They’re working so hard to look good for us, this guy is rude but look at his blue hair ! He knows his place deep down. I go on the subway and I see all these men with blue hair, obviously responding to our desires, obviously interested in seducing us. All this time and money and keeping it perfectly blue every day. They think about us all the time. They are desperate to be liked by me. They ARE for ME.”
And that’s how men see feminine women.
I don't always find there's much on here in feminist tags about how economic imperialism affects women, so I thought I'd start documenting some examples of it when I see them. this is an excerpt from jason hickel's book the divide
We should let anybody come into any space or movement they want. People should be allowed to call themselves anything they want, and if they don’t fit the definition, we should just change the definition. We should divorce all movements, spaces, art, culture, history, and language from their original context, because everyone needs to be allowed to be everything, and inclusivity is holiest amongst all things, even if that means the destruction of entire communities, political frameworks, neighborhoods, and artistic movements.
