What if I said that neither of these things are normal, and both benefit the patriarchy only?

I think the thing that annoys me most about AI on a personal, day to day, level is what it has done to grammar checkers. If you've never done a lot of editing, or used to 5+ years ago but haven't really in the last couple years, I can't even begin to describe how fucking BAD this shit has gotten. And as an author it is EXHAUSTING.
I just want to catch spelling errors and accidental double spaces and repeated phrases and whenever I use the wrong too/to or affect/effect and shit. But no. They've shoved AI up the ass of every grammar checking software out there and now they all fucking suck and make the most random, obnoxious, nonsensical suggestions.
And yeah, I can ignore all the times it's trying to get me to cut out any semblance of my own voice, or shove things into the wrong tense, or make the most random suggestions on comma usage. But if it's getting all that WRONG, what is it just straight up missing that I SHOULD be correcting? What real spelling and grammar errors are still lurking in there?
"Use Libre Office."
I get why people keep saying this (and other versions of it like "Use Adobe alternatives" and "Use Google product alternatives."). But here's the problem: I do not create in isolation. Even my own 100% personal projects are getting sent to other people whether it's editors or printers or beta readers and unless every single person in that train is using the same products, things can get wonky.
Libre Office and Word handle formatting differently on the back end, which can completely break documents if you move them back and forth between the two. So if I write in Libre Office but my beta readers are still using Word, when I send them a manuscript for review there's a good chance things won't look right and my beta reader will not actually be reviewing what I sent them.
Industry standards are industry standards FOR A REASON. Having everyone on the same workflow can be crucial to getting things done effectively and correctly without creating a lot of extra work. And those things are not going to change overnight, as much as we might want them to.
:| :| :|
Yeah, Word, let me just leave this whole chunk of dialogue without the closing quotation marks. That's the thing to do. How dare I have two punctuation marks in a row. It's not like that's how closing quotation marks fucking work.
I am going to light something on fire.
And you know, for young writers, this has got to be so detrimental just from the perspective of opening your document and seeing a million corrections that, frankly, don't need to be there. If you're a young writer you're likely not going to have the background knowledge to know what is and isn't a good suggestion, you're just going to see a document that makes it look like you made every mistake possible so clearly you must be a terrible, stupid writer and should just give up.
Also it has stopped catching extremely easy to catch mistakes. That it used to catch. Or only corrects them sometimes in the same document.
Any time you say something about men being inherently predatory (man vs bear, a group of men is a threat, etc.) you are being racist. Treating men as inherently predatory is fundamentally inseparable from anti-blackness because Black men are hypermasculinized. That rhetoric affects Black men the most.
When you say you'd pick the bear over the man or a group of men is a threat, you are saying you'd pick the bear over a Black man and a group of Black men are a threat. It's not changing anything or flipping the genders. All Black men are men. If it sounds racist now, that's because it's always been racist and you didn't realize the implication.
Sure you could freely use your free speech to freely say, "A group of White men are a threat" or "I'd pick a Black man over a bear but a bear over a White man." But you and I and everyone else all know exactly how that sounds. And it's still racist because why do you always think only of White men when you're thinking about an abstract hypothetical man?
When you hear something about men being predatory, you should always think about how that affects Black men or you will inevitably say something racist.
framing black men in this way (as victims who could never hurt a woman) is an interesting choice when western black women are currently in the midst of a yearslong femicide crisis. said femicide (and rape, and abuse) is committed almost entirely by black men who, as men, are indeed dangerous. your rhetoric frames the modern issue of black femicide as inherently less important than the historical issue of black men being wrongfully accused of sex crimes. it suggests that black women should shut up about their negative experiences with men out of a kind of race fealty. itâs despicable because black women are indeed incredibly race loyal and suffer in silence from the physical, material harm inflicted on them by black men as well as the psychological warfare of being subjected to constant, intense misogynoir within the community and also outside of it. black cultures, like all cultures, are rooted in patriarchy. the logic of this post is a particularly ugly and blunt example of what afro-patriarchy looks like.
a black woman, along with any race of woman, has every right to say, âi hate all menâ because men are dangerous. you should not seek to control the speech of women when they discuss misogyny, as women are a marginalized group based on sex and subject to sex-specific violence, a universal force that keeps women at the global level under the control of men. when men stop targeting women for sex-based violence, then we can speak on the issue of whether or not saying âall men are ___â leads to racialized thinking. until then, telling women to not disparage men is simply another manifestation of silencing victims and survivors. the fact that you felt this was at all appropriate to write is the perfect demonstration of how misogyny warps thinking to minimize harm to women as mere collateral damage in the rhetoric of political activism.
Rhetoric like this is how the black power movement shamed black women who were raped and sexually abused by Black men in the movement to stay silent or they're race traitors. 30 to 60% of all black women in America are victims of sexual assault. Many Black male predators in the black power movement knowing this, used this to have a captive stock of victims who were too scared to speak because black men are seen as violent.
Lets not forget the femicide rate in the black ass Caribbean and Africa is also high and will regularly be in the top 10 highest femicide rate countries
You people do not see Black women as subjects of oppression or misogyny. Doing PR for Black men is almost more important than the rape, beatings and abuse of Black women.
You people think that everyone lives around white people and that the home is a space place for women and girls
how can you see homosexuals being punished by death or genital mutilation and think itâs somehow a progressive policy due to it being âaffirmingâ
âtransition or dieâ
âwell technically theyâre not being forced toâ

They semi-cancelled Timothee Chalamet for simply saying he found opera and ballet boring, by the way.
How does Hollywood work these days?
Being a bit of a naive, foolish young man and (wrongfully) calling opera and ballet irrelevant?
âYou must apologise immediately! No Oscar for you.â
Acknowledging you stole terrified teenage girls from their bedrooms?
âEh, you get a pass.â

This is why rich people, like really rich people, like Musk and Zuckerberg level people, donât let their kids have screens. And they send them to schools without screens. They already know this. Theyâre counting on screens making the masses dumber, but they donât want that for their kids.
that's why the nordics are rolling back digitalization.
crazy people need a ted talk from an "important" person like this to listen, this is basic child development stuff you learn when studying education. obv it's been known for years if it's part of current curriculum. but no one listens to teachers and social workers without a tiktok. social media creates authority somehow.
women have to live with the constant awareness of the possibility of getting raped even in the most innocuous of situations, and people still have the audacity to present this awareness as drama and fearmongering. if you help out an elderly man with getting his groceries into the house and he rapes you, you are the dummy for not thinking it through. but if an elderly man invites you into his house on the pretense of needing help with the groceries and you refuse, you are a paranoid (and heartless!) bitch. schrödinger's rapists: every man could be one, but also no man is, so how dare you think about it.
I didn't realize that this was about Project Hail Mary at first I just accepted that this was Ryan Gosling's fault and we have to kill him

i need to come up with a way to say âi mean like, movies for grownupsâ that doesnât make me feel like a villain
*peeks in the replies* *gets really nervous and locks my house up and leaves*
well, i mean more like La Piscine or Mulholland Drive,
i think i am going insane
Apparently it is impossible for Tumblr users to think of a not ageist way to describe their tastes, because everything must always be compared to how inferior children are -- despite the fact that it is pretty much never the choice of any child or children when media aimed at them is dumbed down etc.
Things when bad: kids and children are involved!
Things when good: this is very Adult this is specifically Adult only Adults can understand or want this
i literally just donât want to watch Kung Fu Panda
okay weâve come all the way back around. letâs pack this up. this post is done. âwho askedâ you just walked into my post that i made on my blog..? who asked YOU?? am i losing my fucking mind?????
Correct, male socialization is something that happens *to* you, you don't get to choose it. Just like no one chose to be born in the United States, or be born straight or white or rich. You were born into a system that wants you to act in ways that affirm the system, and you must understand it lest you perpetuate it.
If you made this post about any other oppression system on Tumblr it would be shot dead by leftists on sight.
"White privilege is such an evil rhetoric. Yeah I guess being born white and being taught I'm better than Black people at the age of 5 is my fault and I'm evil for it. Yeah I guess having a white childhood I never asked for means I'm a danger and I should perpetually apologize for it." -> immediately recognizable as bullshit racists say
"Straight privilege is such an evil rhetoric. Yeah I guess being straight is my fault and I'm evil for it. Yeah I guess having a straight childhood I never asked for means I'm a danger and I should perpetually apologize for it." -> immediately recognizable as bullshit homophobes say
But stuff like this gets posted and acquires 2k likes.
Male socialization is not even specifically attacking MTFs but they have successfully guilted everyone into being scared to believe in it.
