So what I think is that there's this default belief in patriarchy that men are superior to women and therefore the "masculine" sphere is superior to the "feminine" sphere. And so, as feminists have fought to expand the number of allowable female activities, men (on the aggregate over generations) have retreated from those activities because they're now seen as "feminine", and so partaking in them is incommensurate with their belief in their own superiority. And, unfortunately, as this has progressed, this has resulted in a lot of men sectioning themselves off from, frankly, everything that actually makes being alive worthwhile. It's a misery spiral, and the only way out is to abandon male supremacy.

#more women in higher education meaning fewer men is incredibly depressing to me. funny in a sad way#what happens when women will finally get into trades? will they just stop working

fangirls using she/her wife princess bbygirl etc. for male characters isn't transformative, it's lazy terf-scented apologism that caters to the modern hellscape of scrupulosity we call fandom. like,, ripping him out of the "predator" sex & stitching him into the "prey" one won't overhaul his overarching male narratives. i fear

#oftentimes #oftentimes it's the case #and no “just stan a female character” is not the point #more like stop seeing the female sex /gender as Good and sweet and stop measuring your morals by the characters you 'stan' (via @bvrialatsea)

Why is so much adult oriented 2d animation bastard ugly, do they know they don’t have to do that? The characters don’t have to projectile vomit all the time either, but maybe that’s asking too much
