girl I'm tired

If I have to hear that man’s version of fast car one more fucking time I’m going to jail

Whenever I see a male cover on youtube, I just think to myself ‘why tf are they wasting our time with this’

Chapman's "Fast Car" ... listen, I live about 10km under a rock, so I didn't know the original. But when the cover was all over the place and the guy sang "somebody's gotta take care of him / so I left school and that's what I did" I knew instantly that No Man Wrote That.

“emasculating” is a euphemism for “demeaning in a way only women should have to suffer”

Whenever people look at me, a gnc lesbian with a buzzcut, no makeup, and unshaven body hair, and ask me my pronouns, all I hear is “I see you’re not being a woman correctly. Do you want me to pretend you’re not a woman?”

Everyone stand back I'm about to kick a hornets' nest

Using the evil slop machine to produce any kind of picture is a deeply morally reprehensible and exploitative act. Using the system of global imperialism to get acrylic charms with your drawings encased inside them made in a sweatshop somewhere in indonesia without having to pay anything close to a living wage for the people making them is the god-given right of any Artist and Creator™, and don't you dare criticize them for it, why are you pressuring small, independent creators?

We're only this successful as a species because we had older women, who had survived their reproductive years, using their time, energy and knowledge to help and safeguard, heal, organize, invent, teach, negotiate, plan... having a class of people with that amount of alent and wisdom, no longer tied to the high energy demands of reproduction, is wealth beyond measure when the day to day is about having enough berries and swallows of water to survive.

I think one of the most insidious things about our current era of patriarchy is how much we are bombarded with women who appear to choose their own objectification, enjoying their own objectification and selling it as confidence and fun. The message being that any discomfort with patriarchy is prudish and unfeminine and underconfident. That this discomfort must come from our own ugliness and shame, something to hide and be insecure about, and that criticism of objectification is criticism of women ourselves. That we’re jealous and mean. Men are almost completely taken out of the picture- as executives, as photographers, as directors and consumers of our bodies and sexuality. The objectification of women is done by women, to women, and any repercussions will fall onto women. We are entirely self contained whilst men are free to watch from outside and consume our sexuality regardless.

oh god the school shooter in bc was trans, this isn't going to end well

It was a school shooting, it was never gonna ‘end well’.

pretty sure the maladjustment, entitlement, and depression/anxiety combo came first and transition was just the fashionable outlet, like the other 99.9% of youth who would have been nihilist angry emos in the 90s

in my experience, when men say they’re more logical and less emotional than women, they literally just mean that they don’t experience empathy. even cognitively, they think that caring about other people without gaining anything in return is weakness. they’re glorified human husks and are encouraged to feel superior for it. ummmm

One of the most insidious examples of the erasure of transmasc and AFAB trans people in general is that when Roe v. Wade was overturned I saw about a million posts saying "trans people are going to be next!!" rather than an outpouring of love and sympathy for the entire *half* of the trans community that lost their rights to bodily autonomy that day

It’s misogyny op; when ppl say trans rights they mean men’s rights

Considering the fact that it's trans men being ignored in this situation, no, it's not about men's rights. It's transandrophobia.

…You’ve just completely misunderstood what I said

It's not misogyny, it's just a series of sex-based assumptions and discrimination based on our observable sex that doesn't affect the vocal majority of the trans community even though they're identifying as the sex impacted by misogyny. No one knows why this is happening as there has never been an easy way for humans to use their eyes and their brains to identify a stranger's sex. The current theory is that bigots are secretly lizard people whose infrared vision lets them see if you're packing.

i see two anime girls kissing and i feel nothing, this isnt a win for wlw, these things are barely human and they represent women as much as green M&M does

which says something about why autogynephiles relate to them so much

THIIIISSS omg. I really don't get the appeal.

I think the place where so many of these “hyperfemininity but make it empowering” ideas fail is the assumption that men care about your interiority. Like “I present myself as a bimbo but I’m actually a full, self-aware, empowered person with thoughts and ideas”, yeah they don’t give a shit though. Every woman who has been made out as a bimbo or a sexpot or a Playboy bunny is a full entire person, with thoughts and experiences and opinions and feelings of her own. It’s not subverting anything to pretend that’s an innovation and that the new, ~empowered~ bimbo is separate from ye olde pinup girl. As long as they’re getting the catering and sexual gratification out of it, men aren’t gonna care about the personhood of the woman under the makeup. They never have.
