The reasons for why men kill their partners and themselves point to all the connected causes (financial stress, increased access to guns, etc) but never to like, THEE reason. Which is abusive men think they own women and children, and misogyny. But America is allergic to the words misogyny and femicide, so we can't get to the bottom of it

isn't it crazy that a woman being gender nonconforming literally just requires her to exist in her own body without making any changes whatsoever. why does the fact that i don't wear makeup and i don't shave and i don't wear a bra have to be some political act. why can't i just fucking exist

my sexual tantasy Is to have someone notice my absence and wonder about me

Israelis constantly squeal at the notion of being called colonisers but so much of how Israel acts today and even in its rhetoric really just mimics colonial powers of the past. Colonial and imperial powers also used to unleash methods of collective punishment as a way to squash rebellions, if one civilian (or even soldier) from the colonial entity got hurt, colonisers had no problem murdering hundreds of the colonised peoples just to avenge that one civilian. Colonial powers would frequently seize land for whatever purpose they saw fit, they’d destroy local economies and pillage resources for their own benefit all to the detriment of the natives. But I think the rhetoric is where it really shows from the painting of Jews as exclusive victims to the dismissal and denial of Palestinian suffering, to even just the arrogant hubris of Zionists and even bragging at times when Israel would assassinate certain figures whilst chucking a tantrum at the mere mention of arresting Netanyahu for war crimes. There’s so much more I could mention but as I said, Israel’s behaviour really just speaks for itself!

Funnily enough I made this post yesterday before I had even known about what took place in Nablus. A Palestinian killed a settler with the settler's own weapon after the settlers invaded the Palestinian village and the Palestinian is being touted as a terrorist by Israeli politicians and media alike. After the settler was killed, 4 Palestinians were killed all from the same family. Palestinians are demonised for defending their land even while land-stealing armed settlers invade their land and then when they're killed by those armed settlers, it's painted as the settlers "defending themselves." Israelis don't stop to ask what the settlers were doing there in the first place, to Israel those settlers have a right to be there because in their eyes, it is "Jewish land." Then the likes of Ben Gvir have threatened to seize land and demolish homes of those responsible for the settler killings and even called to bomb them, and this is something Smotrich has echoed before too.

i think we should start openly mocking male creatives who can't figure out how to write women. like actually i think it's embarrassing that it took elliot page transitioning for christopher nolan to give him a good role. why did it take like ten years to get the first female lead in a marvel movie? why is it a Known Fact that stephen king can't write women? why is 50% of the population omitted from large ensemble works? i asked my friend to name a movie directed by a man with a majority female cast and he said ghostbusters 2016. ghostbusters. ghostbusters. g

Elliot Page also starred in Inception before transitioning, and from what I’ve heard is in The Odyssey for less than five minutes, so that’s a really weird example to use. Like, I don’t disagree with the overall point, but why is that the first example? Kind of feels more like criticizing Nolan for hiring a trans actor than actually being about men not able to write women.

Elliot Page is such a good example of how when trans men transition people automatically read privilege into their experiences—them specfically, in a way that singles them out among the sea of cis men they are surrounded with living their lives uncontroversially—when all evidence suggests they are actually experiencing the exact opposite of that. Elliot Page has gotten nothing but hate and scrutinity from the general public and the media and his career has taken some serious damage since coming out.
