i think it's fine if women have an inflated view of their own intelligence bc the average man with slightly more brain function than a jellyfish thinks of himself as a tortured genius

someone: don’t u think it’s disturbing how in the past few years the level of femininity women are expected to perform and the industries they’re expected to contribute to in order to be taken seriously, especially on platforms like social media, has skyrocketed to the point that perfect makeup, contouring, acrylic nails, and eyelash extensions have become almost a social expectation and when women express no interest in adhering to those standards they’re met with vitriol and scorn straight woman who thinks Legally Blonde is the apex of feminist media: okay but it’s my choice? if i want to be feminine i should have the right to choose to do that because feminism is about choice

next week being christmas feels fake but okay

the issue with writing for yourself is that you will get sucked into rereading your own fic over and over and pretend it’s “editing,” but really you’re just reading because it’s exactly what you want to read. because you wrote it. for you.

and then you will be like why does this asshole never finish anything god

“male loneliness epidemic” and “friendzoning” are similar concepts to me in that the conditions they describe are literally experienced by everyone at some point in their lives but when its men its some sort of profound injustice that needs to be rectified by checks notes giving them unfettered access to the public good that is Women

also the former "epidemic" being taken up in pop discourse explicitly or implicitly as a pathological consequence of feminism having "gone too far" instead of actually doing the work to connect social isolation to existing material conditions....no no don't worry about it just default to blaming women for men's sadness and dissatisfaction bc otherwise you'd have to confront capitalism and misogyny and white supremacy etc. etc. and nobody wants to do that so. its somehow very aggravating and boring at the same time. whenever i see think-pieces that follow this script i instantly fall into a furious slumber

and you just know that half the incel ass boys & men complaining about friendzoning and loneliness have either written off/mistreated "undesirable" girls & women who have shown interest in them in the past, or they have just grown so incapable of seeing girls & women as real human people that they go around treating them like brainless gumball machines whose sole purpose is to dispense sex but only if you press the right conversational buttons. or both. anyway i know where the buttons are and i can reveal them to you for the low price of $90/month. please subscribe bro i promise im not a grifter

why use makeup and high heels to strike fear into the hearts of men when just existing as an autonomous person with your own thoughts and feelings is the most terrifying thing any man can imagine

talking about the hating everyone ideology: “yeah, they’re just so much more accepting!”

"It is worth trying to dissect how certain root causes and social dynamics lead some groups of people to become radicalised" and "We are not obligated to centre or coddle the feelings of extremists" are two statements that can and should co-exist, actually.

will never get over what happened to the women’s march. the largest single-day protest in the history of the WORLD. 82 countries and 7 million people. an incredible display of female solidarity, hope, strength, and resistance. reduced to “white women in pussy hats.” not by conservatives but by leftists!! who gleefully dismissed this enormous protest because “white women voted for trump.” never mind that the women who attended the march very obviously did not vote for trump. they were all vilified anyway, even though a huge percentage of the protestors and organizers weren’t even white. the whole protest somehow came to be seen as a cringey, frivolous display of white woman privilege. again, the women’s march was GLOBAL and unprecedented in WORLD history. yet it’s pretty much never talked about anymore, except to joke about pussy hats.

voting is harm mitigation, not unequivocal moral endorsement. get over yourself and fucking vote.

I hate you fuckers so much right now

I think what people hate hearing is that in order to take a stand against fascism, we do all have to stand together behind someone and form real coalitions regardless if we have disagreements at times or on certain issues. history doesn't look kindly to people who repeatedly split into smaller and smaller factions all arguing while fascist powers take control, even if all the factions tout that they hate fascism. they cannot actually stop it without working together.
