Neko Party in Eden!

I agree with this statement 1000%. If someone tells you not to question something, our natural response should be to question the fuck out of it.

Asking questions should never be taboo, as that’s how new science and new discoveries are made. Questioning the status quo leads to progress, so those who don’t want us to question anything is against progress.

Not being allowed to ask questions isn’t science, its religion. Science should be allowed to stand up to skepticism, or it isn't’ allowed to be science.

Keep asking questions my friends,

Tumblr is basically dead and this is my first photo post since the purge but I wanted to share a glitter shoot I did.

This response really stuck out to me, because I think it really illustrates the double standard of how we judge women and how we judge men.

Most people on my post about fathers are like “my mom is worse! Women are always worse!” and yet here we can see that this person downplays a father’s sexual abuse because he wasn’t as neglectful.

As if there won’t be a whole lot of sexual trauma to unpack? Clearly this person has learned from their own father to trade sex for favors, in that this person’s father only treats them better to “advance his sexual abuse”.

“Only a bit physical and sexual” like what a way to downplay that shit.

My close friend had made a similar post on Mother’s Day and gotten reblogs with thanks, with stories about abusive moms, with praise for having made the post and how needed it was.

I got told I was a piece of shit for not respecting fatherhood, that I was too harsh on dads, and stories like the one above about how mothers are always worse no matter how bad a father was and some that even said that if your father hit you, you probably deserved it, where as if a mother hit you, it was because she was an unforgivable piece of shit. I was told to delete the post. I was told to kill myself. I was told that I was just upset that my dad hadn’t “gone all the way” with me because “I wasn’t a pretty enough girl” (I was still IDing as a trans man at the time, no less) and that I probably deserved the various abuses that I’d gone through for being a “ungrateful bitch”. There were so many awful reblogs, anonymous messages left in my inbox, and direct messages to my account because I dared to insult fatherhood.

Like that’s great Susan, absolutely fantastic, but I don’t actually care if the word of God has been misinterpreted by a bunch of mysoginists and is not really completely evil because that doesn’t actually erase the material harm that Christianity has caused. How many girls have been alienated into thinking their entire worth is dependent upon their ability to bear children because of this religion? How many women think their entire purpose in life is to please their husbands because the Bible said so? How many women have been silenced, dismissed, and deemed as inferior because that’s just how God intended it? How many women have been raped in the name of Jesus Christ?
