Avid Cheerful Interest

I'm so fucking afraid of my condition all the time but I'm not really afraid of other stuff. In general. In a way that I think is related. Post from person who woke up from a nightmare begging out loud for someone to stop twice today but also went on a walk alone in the dark. Take anxiety out of my file I do not have general anxiety, I'm genuinely being tortured and am understandably afraid of that. It's different!!!!!

Being a killjoy feminist is sooooo fucking hot. My mutuals post about ruining a random sexist man’s day because he thought (incorrectly) that he could just say shit unchallenged and I have to lie down and fan myself

I just think at the end of the day that decentering misogyny from your critique of sex-based oppression immediately consigns every single thing you come up with to being incoherent, useless, and misogynistic. I really won't budge on it. I've seen it proven over and over and over again in so many different iterations at this point. Trying to reform masculinity, (which is just, as a post going around recently succinctly pointed out, an exercise in finding a way to be a good person that's Not For Girls™️), catering to male allies and their sensitive feelings, #patriarchy hurts men too, it's all the same. Centering trans men is just the latest version, and it's just as stupid and misogynistic as every other version, with becoming an instant nexus for active transmisogynistic harassment on top. (A consequence so predictable it hurts.) It's embarrassing. You're not engaging in feminism in a meaningful way you're just kicking it in the shins.
