the issue is men. “rich people” and it’s majority males. “criminals” and it’s males. i’m not understanding how people aren’t recognizing this.

And I remembered how when I was really into old movies as a teen and I religiously watched every piece with Audrey Hepburn in it and I got my flabbers completely gasted when such a breathtaking actress would be paired with the most ugly looking old dudes you could find on the planet earth.

It’s like women were never allowed ugliness even in the slightest and now, since we’re contributing to at least half of the movies’ and shows’ revenues men are outraged we want to see male characters who are at the very least not revolting - I would prefer not to see them at all, but that’s a completely different story. Like even now you see people thirst over this old pedro guy and the wonky chef from “the bear” but the moment a woman’s jaw is slightly too square or a nose not perfectly straight she’s labelled a 6/10.

- use said chinese philosophy to raise a class of military that are allowed to exploit the lower classes, are known for raping children and women

- isolate the country to let military brew in nationalist propaganda and allow it to massacre civilians for practicing foreign culture e. g. Christianity

- when forced to open borders, quickly start to imitate America and shit on the chinese who gave you half of your culture without ever even colonising you, invade Korea who also played a tremendous role in creating Japanese culture, over an almost 1000 beef and portray them as inferior for some reason

- side with nazis and lead dozens of massacres, brutally rape and torture women, children, sometimes men, exploit civilians for work in inhumane conditions even in axis counties like Thailand (also kill one of my ancestors but yknow. in the grand scheme of things)

- after losing the war, jump on America's dick and pour all the money you have left into economics instead of constantly expanding military force and ignoring the lower class's needs

- market yourself as a country of technology and progress and paint the same military class that was the driving force behind pre-meiji eras most war crimes as noble warriors defending their daimyos honor

- turn the proto-feminist lolita movement of women infantilising themselves as a response to conservative demand to 'mature' i. e. stop enjoying your hobbies and become a man's kitchen slave, into a racist pedophilic stereotype-fetish and demand grown women to be sexy children even at work place

and how any time women are given greater freedom to choose, birth rates across the population fall to replacement level? which is inherently sustainable?

and in some places, birth rates are falling BELOW replacement level, which is even MORE sustainable considering the outsized resource use of people in the same places????

and how we are part of a system, and even when we aren't trying, we act in a way that balances it??? how it is men who are the problem!!??
