odysseus absolutely does present a threat to penelope if he perceives her as at all unfaithful, and i feel the unfairness of this, and i think people tend to undersell how much tension at least potentially exists between odysseus and penelope. but i'm also like. his reaction, all speculation aside, his actual reaction in the odyssey to her flirting with the suitors is delight, because he immediately ascertains that she is running a con. sorry that they're so in-sync in spite of the forces that try to drive a wedge between them, including their own misgiving hearts. sorry that they invented homophrosyne ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

would i, tumblr user thee odysseyofhomer, lie to you?

I FIDN THAT SO CRAZY

This is a good reminder, because I would not be surprised if people start trotting this nonsense out again 

I want to clarify, Angela Carini did not quit because she thought her opponent was trans, nor was she "forced" to quit. She quit because the first punch made her nose bleed and she couldn't breathe. She quit due to fear for bodily safety. She did cry and refuse to shake her opponents hand, but it had nothing to do with her gender, she was just upset she was injured and couldn't continue. She later admitted that she had shown poor sportsmanship in refusing to shake her opponents hand, and apologized to her and to everyone, and clarified it had nothing to do with gender, and if the Olympics said she can compete she can compete. Angela Carini is being used by terfs as a scapegoat and is not at fault for anything more than poor sportsmanship.

Transphobia are falling for a false narrative about Khelif, and tumblrites are falling for a false narrative about Carini. Carini was not wrong to cry, and to claim she's "weaponising white woman tears" or that she's responsible for the hate Khelif faced is to blame a woman for the actions of people twisting her story in a way that she's repeatedly disavowed. These women are not against each other, and the problem here isn't which one is right. Neither of them did anything wrong (except Carini was a little rude after getting injured in front of the entire world)

I deserve more credit for not picking stupid fights on the internet than a nice person who doesn't pick fights does, because I have an unpleasant personality and it's harder for me

"Stay at home girlfriend" You are a human pet to him, a cat he can fuck, I never see tiktok/youtube stay at home girlfriends writing novel, traveling and playing video games or any fun exciting leisure activities you can do without a job. They aren't taking advantage of these rich loser men, they are all cooking instagramable green meals, cleaning, exercising on treadmills like hamsters and performing lengthy boring beauty rituals. Girl you have a wealthy benefactor and you are unemployed, become obsessed with videogames, make a indie film on his dime, write a genius manifesto, and gain 50 pounds and see if he won't kick you out. He wants your life empty and curated around him. Soon you'll started being driven mad by that pesky yellow wallpaper.
