Rebellum

okay this is an insane poll but for context: as a lot of people know, in fashion and styling, different people have different complimentary palettes. some people look better in cool tones, some people look better in warm tones, some in bright colors, some in pastels, etc etc. however, this also applies to metals, specifically gold vs silver. so,

HUH?

I don't know how I'm supposed to explain to ostensibly trans-friendly feminists that "women are beautiful soft things made of glass, men are obsessed with violence and sex" is exactly what the patriarchy wants you to believe. Patriarchy wants you to believe that being a woman and/or having a vagina (patriarchy generally believes those two things are synonymous) makes one shatter on impact with reality. It makes you easier to control if you are scared shitless of the other half of the population, and it makes you more compliant with your lot in life if you believe it is in the nature of the other half of the population to rape and kill rather than realise those were choices those individual rapists and murderers made. There is no way to make gender essentialism progressive and feminist, because it is one of patriarchy's tools of subjugation. Stop trying to make it progressive.

My boyfriend was showing me his cat and I leaned over to kiss the cat on his soft little baby head and he went "meow" and scrambled away because I'd been wearing my headphones and I accidentally jabbed him with the microphone.

'im a child free woman but don't worry i constaly atone for my baren womb through making sure i always tell everyone how much i LOVE children and think they are the most important thin in the WORLD. im NOT like thoes OTHER crones, i still ensure that i fufll my socially expected materal role through proving caregiving for the children in my life in other ways :) i love kids :) anyone who says they dont like kids needs to fix their heart !!!!! Im child free and not a bitch about it so these other wome need to do better and just be a surogate mother like me who begs for perfect palletablity at all times'

I find this idea fascinating. I, personally, have either never or have very rarely ever encountered women like this. But also I dont hang out in childfree spaces like idk reddit or something, maybe theyre mostly over there? Like the child free people I run into online tend to be women who only bring it up if relevant, or men who complain about people's "idiot crotch goblins who shouldn't be allowed in public" (and then nonbinary people run the gamut).
