all the rights that come with marriage you should be able to have without marriage btw. you should be able to designate a person who can visit you in the hospital regardless of your relationship to that person.

You'd think "don't use a fictional creature as an allegory for oppressed minorities and as a horde of vile automatons that it's always okay to kill in the same work at the same time" would be a no brainer, but roughly 70% of all works featuring goblins and/or robots demonstrate otherwise.

washing dishes is evil because you go "oh fuck there's so many dishes this is gonna take foreverrr" and then you enter the dish abyss and emerge with your abdomen somehow covered in water and your hands all wrinky and then you look at the clock and what felt like half an hour was actually 10 minutes

Oh and the road infrastructure project is buying up resources other people could have used for literally anything else. With money they promise they'll be making from Wide Car sales any day now.

Okay so what I'm getting from the notes is that when you try to transplant some techbro nonsense into an offline equivalent, you have to be careful to avoid simply inventing something the Americans are already doing in real life

it doesn't matter which country we're talking about here, if someone from any country in the world says "oh where i am from there is simply no racism", you not only shouldn't believe them, but you should actually never take them seriously about anything ever again.

TMRAs are always gesturing towards the women who are supposedly saying that trans men aren't oppressed, and then you look at what's actually being said and it's all, "people broadly treat trans men pretty terribly, which is awful. but it doesn't happen because they're men, it happens because they're trans." and this is seen as an unacceptable insult to manhood, for which these women must be hunted down and crushed.

on a related note i think everyone has to get a lot more normal about nudity in general. specifically nudity of people you are not attracted to sexually. it’s one of those american taboos i find really frustrating. I grew up being casually nude a lot as a child, skinnydipping and playing with friends and going in saunas. Always around safe adults i trusted and friends i knew well. and now as an adult, i don’t care at all if i see someone nude. And like i will mention this to people and they’ll act like it was weird or it’s weird that i don’t give a fuck if someone i’m close to walks around the house naked when i’m around but it’s really just that nudity around someone else does not equal wanting to fuck them and in many, many, many other cultures it’s not seen as taboo at all? It’s a consent thing, of course. I’m not asking anyone to be okay with someone exposing themselves to you if that’s not what you want. but i wish people were more open to the idea of nonsexual nudity in general because it’s really not that weird to see your friend’s tits and not want to fuck them. its literally normal

when a woman points out that sports fans hate women and sports leagues hate women and athletes hate women people will often go "just watch women's sports" and it's a stupid fucking response every single time

women should be respected in every single sports space, none of these structural issues are solved by just ... sending them somewhere else + the way people say this always comes across as demeaning; watching womens sports is worthwhile on its own, it shouldn’t be prescribed as exile for women who notice that the wider sports world hates them

maybe this is too woke but i really hate the trope of naked older women = scary or vomit inducing or gross or whatever. like you even see it used in horror on occasion like oooooo so scary theres a woman with saggy boobs and wrinkles. There is something to be said for unconsensual veiwing of nudity. sure. it’s uncomfortable and violating for someone to be nude in front of you that you don’t want to see. but rarely that’s seen as the issue and instead the real ‘horror’ or gross out joke is the very idea of a woman who does not have a body that is sexually desirable to men. The very idea of an older woman’s body is treated like it’s something that we should all know is gross, sick and wrong. It’s just something that really bothers me

"would i be good at this thing?" and "would it be fun to do this thing?" are two different questions!!

so, for that matter, are "can i endure this?" and "would doing this be worthwhile for me?"

i wish we were able to talk about women's rights without someone mentioning how much they do or don't want to have sex with them. i don't care if you're a lesbian Stop finding worth in women purely from their perceived attractiveness

"I think women should not be expected to shave for societal respect / to avoid discrimination" "yeah🤤 i love bush" ok well that's not what we're talking about is it.

i hate how many posts about trans women deserving respect always devolve into "I love girldick" or "trans rights but I don't want to date a trans person" because that's entirely unrelated to the topic at hand. you should not respond to feminism with "YESSS I loveeee you because I see you as nothing but a sex object" you people sound like other men I get stuck talking with that end up saying "free the nipple so I can see boobies in public" and thinking they're feminists. why can't we just respect women regardless of your attraction to them or not. why does it need to be brought up in every conversation regarding their rights
