anyone reblogging this post talking about a guy under 40 is banned

you know i've grown since i made this post. if they're not nearing their early 60's what even is the point

an interesting amnt of people seem to think of intersexism as a "less bad" form of oppression for.... one of the only kinds of oppression that routinely involves mutilating infants and young children. and then a lifetime of very specific and unique medical abuse. it actually makes me feel kind of insane

whatever man. melts your baby into liquid and then molds it into a single beautiful ingot.

let's reintroduce "rude" to the lexicon no that person is not evil or morally bankrupt or even your enemy they're just being rude

You’ve heard of “i didn’t say it was good, i said i liked it,” get ready for “i said it had some technical problems & didn’t fully deliver on its themes, not that i didn’t like it”

you can’t separate transmisogyny from racism. the radical feminism movement is so overwhelmingly white because their idea of what a woman is is so thoroughly steeped in white supremacy.

You can’t separate transmisogyny from racism. Very important to remember

some of yall didnt go insane at 15 and it shows

and my take today is that framing misogynistic writing as an "inability to write female characters" subconsciously takes away most of the blame, implying that women are an alien creature compared to men and that it is no fault of the writer because it's out of their skill set. it's not an inability, not a lack of expertise, it's the simple refusal to consider women as individual people and give them the same depth and grace that comes easily to the writer when they write male characters. it's not that christopher nolan, stephen king, james cameron (and frankly anyone using the argument, both professional and hobbyist; yes, that includes fanfic writers) etc can't write women, it's that they just won't. at that point in time it is a conscious decision driven by the laziness to unpack their misogynistic biases, and should be addressed as such
