The other day I read someone say they can't have kids because "it costs $500,000 to raise a kid to 18". And it reminded me of someone else writing once that she can't pursue a relationship purely because "it costs so much money", with all the dating and the potential wedding and everything involved
And as someone from a very poor family background with lots and lots of cousins and aunts and uncles I'm just ... O_O What do they do that costs so much money ...?
I'm assuming both were from the US, and that country is really wild if people feel like this - the two main actually free things in life (love and having kids) must have been so severely co-opted by capitalism there to make these be rational and real sentiments :-s
"It takes away your own agencyyyy 🤨" (it's your own fault they abused you)
"Anyone with a functioning nervous system just wouldn't put up with thattt 🙄" (it's your own fault they abused you)
"It's advantageous to see yourself as the victim bc then you're making yourself a literal saintttt 😒" (you're manipulating people to make them think you can do NO wrong, as if you didn't do this one sort of shitty thing in may 2015, so you're actually no better than your abuser!!!!)
Spoken like an abuser, victim-blamer and apologist
a rapist ruins his own future when he chooses to commit rape
the survivors are NOT the ones ruining anyone’s lives
Imagine that when you were born your entire family celebrated. "It's a girl! How wonderful, just like we hoped for! A perfect baby girl!"
Imagine being bounced on your mother's knee and her cooing, "what a strong girl you are! You are going to grow so big! You are so brave, your grip is so strong, and your voice so loud!"
Imagine being dressed up for practical, comfortable clothes and having your hair out of the way, and then told to run wild. Imagine being given complex toys, a tool kit, toy swords and shields, mechanical toys, building blocks, kids' science and story books. Imagine being told, "she's so creative and innovative! She knows what she wants. She's always so curious and inventive."
Imagine all your family, relatives, babysitters and teachers describing you as a leader type, a moral guardian, a responsible and promising young girl, creative, strong, opinionated, intelligent. A future leader, an organizer, someone whose voice is loud and clear as it should be.
Imagine your maturing being a source of joy. You are getting taller, bigger, stronger and sturdier. You have a healthy appetite of a growing young woman. Your body is a powerhouse of survival. You get your period and it's celebrated, you are entering womanhood and showing the power of a lifegiver. Period is a sign that you are strong and healthy, your body is amazing. You get to decide what's for dinner at home because your growing body is a priority for all and you need to care for it.
Imagine respect of your peers and security among you. Imagine relying on other women like you without insecurity. Imagine being fearless, proud, content and limitless, full of promise and possibilities.
Now, I know that none of us got to live like that. But for a moment, imagine that you did, and then try to imagine the woman you would be today. What kind of a person is she? What does she want? What are her dreams, her possibilities? What limits and fears have been completely banished from her life?
How does she see herself?
You might not be her, but once you imagine that woman in your mind, she becomes real, and you can become her.

South Africa invoked the genocide convention.
south africa has brought a case against israel in international court for genocide in palestine. links to articles from al jazeera & the guardian that go into more detail
Exactly, telling people especially women and girls to be kind without teaching them about boundaries is a recipe for disaster.
I think we need to bring back politeness into the modern vocabulary. You don't owe strangers kindness, you owe them politeness and consideration.
Politeness and kindness are not synonyms. Until you have observed that a person is deserving of your kindness, just be polite and considerate.
Men find things like domestic violence and pedophilia superficially disgusting, like one might find a pile of rotting garbage to be repulsive. They do not, in fact, find these things as morally disgusting as they purport to. This is why they have no qualms about making "exceptions" for "women who deserved it" or "teen girls who look too grown". This is why these crimes appear to be detested by society and yet society is designed to facilitate them.
in particular, i believe the existence of the crimes domestic violence and pedophilia allows them to position themselves as "good men", in contrast with "bad men". they pick some small number of male scapegoats whose crimes are acknowledged, and point to them as a reason to ignore the every-day terrorism from the "good men".
and the line between the "good man" and the "bad man" is always an action slightly worse than whatever the one currently speaking has done.
men constantly: trust me, I'm not like other men!
"I support peace ..."
"It's a complicated issue ..."
"Both sides have done horrible things ..."
When someone is lacking in analysis, buys the pro-Israel propaganda, or despises Palestinian people but is afraid to say it openly
"Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević." — Anthony Bourdain
Henry Kissinger (1923 - November 29, 2023)
"[Kissinger] was one of the most destructive secretaries of state of the modern history of this country [...] I am proud to say that Henry Kissinger is not my friend. I will not take advice from Henry Kissinger. [The Cambodian Genocide] was one of the worst genocides in the history of the world, So, count me in as somebody who will not be listening to Henry Kissinger." — Bernie Sanders (2016)

The genocide in Gaza is one of the worst in modern history
There have been wars and air campaigns that killed more civilians than in Gaza, but almost none match the intensity and deliberately crimina
The number of these massacres, which constitute crimes against humanity, will go down in history as the first massacres that continue around the clock for nearly a month, broadcast live on the air. During the famous 1,425-day Siege of Sarajevo, the Serbs bombed the Sarajevo Market (Markali Market) on August 28, 1995, with five mortar shells, killing 43 people. The world watched live images of the dead and wounded, as it does in Gaza. But in Europe, the atrocities led directly to NATO launching an air war against the Serbian forces until they were defeated. By contrast, in only one massacre, Israel dropped a huge bomb on the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital, killing nearly 500 civilians. The West’s reaction was to hold Hamas responsible, even though they knew that its improvised rockets (which the Palestinian president described as “absurd”) could barely kill a single person. These massacres are also the first massacres in history to receive the full support of the major “Western democracies” (the United States, France, Britain, Germany, Italy) without any sympathy for the victims, even though they are broadcast live and there is no doubt about the identity of the perpetrators. This support is not only political, diplomatic, and in the media, but also military. In most cases it also violates the desires of its own citizens who are demonstrating in the street against the massacres in Gaza in opposition to their leaders. During the Vietnam War, after news of only one massacre carried out by the American army leaked (My Lai), the whole world rose up against it. As for the case of Gaza, Biden, Macron, Schultz, Sunak, and Meloni are portraying the massacres through the Western media as a case of self-defense. In the famous Siege of Sarajevo, which lasted 1,425 days, a total of 13,952 people were killed, including 5,434 civilians, which means approximately four civilian deaths per day. In Gaza, the death rate is no less than 355 civilians per day. This number does not include those under the rubble, which exceeds 2,000 people. During the siege of the city of Stalingrad itself, which lasted 162 days and became an icon of resistance against Nazi brutality, 40,000 civilians were killed in the city, which was crowded with soldiers — an average of 247 civilians per day, i.e., less than the killing rate in Gaza. In the Second Battle of Fallujah, considered the bloodiest event in the Iraq War, the city was subjected to 46 days of killing and siege. A total of 1,400 civilians were killed, at a rate of 31 civilian deaths per day. As for the siege and fighting of the city of Mosul, which lasted for nine months and is considered the most violent episode in the series of conflicts with the ISIS movement, nearly ten thousand civilians were killed, at a rate of 37 civilians per day.
there was a tiktok I made a while ago basically saying "your abusive ex boyfriend is more likely a misogynist than a narcissist" and while most people agreed some said I was victim blaming(?) and that I couldn't know what their ex is like, and while obviously I don't, every fucking person describing their narcissistic ex is describing a typical misogynist. ask yourself, is this behavior you associate with narcissism directed at women or does he treat his male friends the same way? is his general functioning in life impaired?
many people don't seem to know this, but a mental disorder is NOT based on symptoms alone, it's based on how much the symptoms actually impair you in daily life. most people could look at a list of mental disorder symptoms and identify either themselves or someone else with them. as far as a narcissistic personality, we all know people who appear more self absorbed than others, but this is typically subclinical narcissism (presence of narcissistic traits without significant impairment of functioning) which is not a disorder. there is also a misunderstanding of what npd is. a narcissist is not a supervillain invincible to emotion. npd is a defensive reaction to trauma that lead to deep insecurity and fear of being seen as weak or vulnerable. so narcissists aren't actually "in love with themselves" at all and often are diagnosed when seeking help for other issues such as substance abuse resulting from their struggles.
this focus a lot of abused women in online pop psychology have on narcissism is particularly concerning because it completely glosses over misogyny which is literally a huge factor in violence against women. people really only know misogyny as a surface level thing. they don't know it can lead to family annihilation, for example, and is one reason most family annihilations are committed by the husband. it's always "this man is a sociopath" "this man is a narcissist" when the man's behavior is driven by ideology. I am so fucking tired of everything being tied to mental illness and left at that. you know what this leads to? courts "fixing" abusive men by...giving them anger management therapy. guess what? it doesn't fucking do anything because the problem isn't mental instability leading to anger, it's targeted, purposeful abuse. we are getting nowhere
Society, with its age-old narratives, often pressures women into believing that their worth or safety is intertwined with partnering with a man. But it's crucial to challenge this notion. Embracing solitude isn't about isolation, but about understanding and valuing oneself outside the context of a relationship. It's about ensuring that if and when a woman chooses to be with someone, it's born from genuine connection and not from fear or societal expectation. By learning to be alone, women can cultivate resilience, self-worth, and independence. It's a journey of self-discovery, where one can confront and dispel fears, and truly understand what it means to be complete on one's own terms. So, to every woman reading this: cherish your solitude, for it's a sanctuary where you can truly understand that you are enough, with or without a partner. 🌙✨ #StandAloneStandStrong

I don't know which man needs to hear this but, according to statistics, men make up the overwhelming majority of perpetrators of domestic violence in heterosexual relationships and the percentage of false sexual assault accusations is remakably low, so that some people (and usually it's not even the majority of people) will see a woman accuse a man of DV/SA and feel immediately inclined to believe her word over his it won't be because society is a bleak misandrist dystopia on a witch hunt to get defenseless men like yourself boohoo, it will be because people are choosing to believe the one who's more likely to be telling the truth according to probabilities backed by hard data. For people who love to brag about being the rational ones you guys get weirdly hysterical when it comes to this topic, huh.
Men: what keeps us apart from those overemotional feminists is that we base our worldview on Facts and Logic™.
Also men: it's more likely that 3-30 people who don't know each other have chosen the same innocent man to falsely accuse of rape by pure chance than it is that this man is actually a rapist. it's also more likely that this weird coincidence keeps happening again and again than it is that, in a least some of these cases, the man is actually guilty. we are very smart.
