i love naming the elephant in the room (porn) in conversation because you're not supposed to do that and people are shocked but then they always agree with me. "teen boys are a menace these days" -> it's because of porn. "that's not normal behaviour" -> it's porn addiction. "does that imagery make anyone else uncomfortable" -> it's inspired by porn. "the way women are characterized" -> it's porn mythology. like ladies we are allowed to stay this stuff out loud

you can watch Gabby Petito's murderer boyfriend do this on camera when the policemen stopped him and Gabby on the side of the road, if you want to see for yourself what it looks like when a deranged, violent male abuser tries to paint himself as a victim

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.

To address the trans people that do pass for women that TRAs like to bring up as if they’re common. Those males will probably be able to sneak into the women’s restroom, but I don’t get how the TQ+ are proud of that. Like yes, we can’t always tell, just like fair few black organizations couldn’t tell Rachel Dolezal was cosplaying as another race either. No one inspected her, we just found out eventually and kind of innately realized that her tricking people in this way was racist and creepy!

there’s a difference between men calling women “females” in a derogatory way vs women calling themselves female for scientific and medical purposes. the patriarchy has really convinced people that women are inferior for being female so now women are getting attacked for simply stating a biological fact about ourselves.

If you can respect a religious woman not wanting to do X around male people because her religion tells her to but you can’t respect a woman who doesn’t want to do X around male people of her own free will you respect religious misogyny more than women

tbh men talking about how the planet is fucked cause humans are so overpopulated and then talking about population control like he was one of the first to think about it drives me fucking batty. y'all could have done that. for centuries. y'all could have not stuck your dicks into women who didn’t want to have (more) children. y'all could have let women have the right to 1. not fuck you, 2. the right to control their fertility, and 3. the right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. like that was an option all along. but you just couldn’t help yourselves, huh? they talk about it in such a blasé sort of way like oh, “humanity” fucked up. like, no, Y'ALL fucked up. any overpopulation problem we have has always been the fault of men, and created through the pain and suffering of women. the next man who talks about overpopulation without holding men as a historical and present class responsible can start solving the problem directly by killing himself.

ppl screeching in the notes about how female bodies are inherently overly complicated or how we can't just force scientists to all work the same field or on the same thing are missing the point: it comes down to [1] funding (incentivizing pouring more effort/mind/money into research), and [2] CENTURIES of raw, old-fashioned medical bias. there might not be a shortage of (modern) experts interested in finding the cure for health issues that disproportionately affect women & transfolk, but denying that there is a health gap At All is, itself, unchecked misogyny. there *is* a health gap between women's & men's health, and looking for or at the causes doesn't make us foolish for "not understanding how the world works;" (quite the opposite, really.)

Saying "women's bodies are overly complicated anyway so that's incentive *to not even try* is also absolutely unbridled misogyny. And mind-boggling levels of gross

I think a lot of feminist issues would be solved, or at least partially solved by economic equality or measures like universal basic income. Why are so many women stuck in abusive marriages? They can't afford to leave. Why are so many women stuck in the sex industry? They can't afford to leave. What were the major wins of second wave feminism? Rights to work and have one's own bank account, which are significant not because working is awesome (although having a purpose and self actualization if you can get a job you like is awesome) but more importantly because you are not dependent on a man for everything! You can be free! The most important thing a woman can have is her own stream of income.

Here's some more fun facts: we cut transversely across women's abdominal muscles to prevent an "unsightly" scar, the transverse incision scar can be covered by your underwear line. Cutting along the linea alba reduces healing time to about 2 weeks instead of a couple months to heal four layers of muscle. But we wouldn't want an unsightly scar now would we?

The trans movement: black women are seen as men/male adjacent 1.Enslaved black women were wet nurses to white babes (side note: do people know how hungry and drained breastfeeding makes you? A child is literally sucking the calories out of you on top of the fact that your body has to exert energy making the milk) 2.Were repeatedly raped and impregnated against their will to give birth to more slaves- aka their female reproductive labor specifically exploited and pimped to directly financially profit slave masters. 3.Were raped and used as sex toys by both black men and white slave masters. 4.Were forced to do traditionally feminine roles like childcare, cooking, cleaning IN ADDITON to all the back- breaking, hard labor the men had to do. 5.In the founding of gynecology- enslaved black women had their guts cut open and wombs and uteri taken out and experimented on. Had their breasts, vaginas and buttocks, all sex organs, pickled in jars and shown in museums. In other words, our female ancestors experienced the absolute worst assaults on their SEXED bodies. Experienced horrors and mechanisms of torture designed for and exclusive to THE FEMALE SEX. And you people let transfemmes say we're seen as males. Unchecked. I'll never forgive or forget this. I'll never forgive. I'll never forget.

im so sick of hearing men make the argument that its totally normal to be attracted to 13-17 year old girls because of fertility the falseness of it just angers me so much
