I do feel like I'm getting to know more and more people these days who were failed catastrophically in various ways by where everything Went Culturally in lefty/prog circles during my young adulthood. Like idk what the alternative was, the 90s were pretty bad as well and probably a bunch of people especially in entertainment do have careers now that might otherwise have lost out to white men (or to 50kg women with no talent or original thoughts or self esteem to object to blow jobs for exposure) and like we did and do need to give a shit about the sexual exploitation and objectification of women in our society at every grade of wrongness but like, damn we did not do very good in the execution as it appears to have affected a lot of just normal guys* who were not dispositionally gross kind of badly imo
*and non-guys who at one point thought of themselves as guys, many of whom are still kinda affected by this stuff due to a combination of "that is still their history" and "well penises are kinda totemic in this discourse so it's not exactly surprising if she still feels like it applies to her when she has one"
Repost if you are an appreciator of the arts
sex workers rise up - we keep us safe - fire to the prisons
(HIPS, or https://www.hips.org/policiesandpositions.html, runs a drop-in center and non-snitching peer hotline - "Washington DC" belongs to the people not to either imperialist ruling party.)
I generally don’t write much in the way of serious topics on tumblr because I don’t find it a useful platform for that, but I’ve seen a number of posts/talked with mutuals lately about what we’ve been noticing in the erosion of feminist theory and how it’s discussed.
To me the culprit is the nature of tumblr itself. There’s no one stationary place for a conversation; people reblog a conversation that has branched off in a bunch of directions. They argue a point that could’ve been addressed by the OP except the conversation continued without the OP. They end up in places that were never intended.
Add to that: a) the way a pithy phrase captures attention faster than a thoughtful analysis and b) the number of ppl reblogging to point out that their particular group was not specifically taken into account, and you have an attempt at discussion that’s hobbled from the start.
I wish we could have discussions here like we used to on lj/dw but we can’t. So instead any discussion of feminism has its teeth cracked out one at a time with “but men can be abused too” and “what about transmen” and “eyeliner so sharp it could kill a man” and “WOMEN!! She!! Her!!” and look. All of these things have their place in the discussion.Â
But when people generally don’t even know what the core tenets of feminism are, don’t understand the kyriarchy, or multiple axes of oppression, don’t understand second- and third-wave feminism, and just choose to make everything binary all over again? Right now in tumblr discourse, either critique of Men is wrong bc it doesn’t take into account these particular men, or All Women are Right All the Time Actually. And neither of these is useful in dismantling what feminism is intended to dismantle.
Feminism is for everyone, yes. But feminism is also an ideology intended to make people uncomfortable with and outraged at the status quo, the kyriarchical messages we grow up with and live under. It’s all right if your feminism isn’t mine, but if yours doesn’t actually stand for anything and is more concerned with empty virtue signaling or pat catchphrases, then does it actually benefit the cause? Or is it just lip service in between nitpicking? Is it just window dressing for oppressive systems? Is it doing those institutional systems’ work for them?
I don’t have any concrete suggestions about this; like I said, I don’t think tumblr as a platform can provide any repair. But who knows. Maybe a bunch of like-minded feminists talking about it more (and by like-minded, I just mean “invested”; the faces of feminism are legion) will help rejuvenate something that’s been pretty good to a lot of us (or at least offered a helpful framework to build our senses of self on). Maybe I’ll go back to talking about feminist topics myself. Maybe that’s not quite a bridge called our backs but it’s more than being the second sex. Maybe maybe may be.

don't assume we can all pick up the pieces.
It's infuriating how society often fails to grasp the depth of pain that comes with being sexually assaulted. The trauma isn't just a fleeting moment; it's a relentless shadow that follows you, affecting every aspect of your life. People throw around phrases like "move on" or "get over it," as if healing is a simple switch you can flip. They don't understand the sleepless nights, the constant anxiety, the feeling of being unsafe in your own skin. It's a battle every single day, and the scars, both visible and invisible, are a testament to the strength it takes to keep going. The pain is real, and it's time we stop minimizing it and start supporting survivors with the empathy and respect they deserve.
