the idea that rape rhetoric is divorced from the actions of rapists is why I can’t take most adults seriously

I don't know exactly how to articulate this but... if you repeatedly show historical fiction women rejecting traditionally female skills/duties and doing swords instead, because swords is obviously the Most Important Thing, you are kind of implying that all the work that has been traditionally done by female hands for millennia was useless all along and not, you know, keeping civilization going. Because it's usually rejected not as a personal preference but as This Is The Important Stuff (male work) and That is The Dumb Useless Stuff (women's work) and that kind of bothers me. The message was supposed to be Vital But Underpaid and Underappreciated, not women's work is insignificant so let's all go do swords.

some people say shit that makes no sense just because they like the sound of their own voice… they have no commitment to communicating anything of value to their fellow human beings. they have no sense of the fact that speech evolved as a medium for important messages. they like how it feels to talk and they want to do it a lot

that awkward moment when someone names a quality only a man can have but you have that same quality bc you’re also an asshole

The fact that religious people will defend ‘honour killing’ (religiously motivated femicide) whilst simultaneously claiming that abortion is evil is actually mental.

What if I don’t believe in the human soul, and therefore the idea that you’re trans because you have a “woman soul” is completely irrelevant to me. Then what.

no the female character who is a masculine woman is not secretly a transgender man and yes you saying that she is is misogynistic <3

so turns out the entire internet turns into rabid conspiracy theorist whackos when you explain why they need to verify their age to watch porn. keep coping and seething gooners. keep pretending it’s about censorship and not bc you’re embarrassed about your daily rape porn gooning you freaks

absolutely the worst part of the male helplessness fetishism is that men know about it and will weaponize it against you. they will fuck up and do stupid shit and pretend not to know how to clean a mirror or find grapes at the grocery store and then simper and giggle expecting you to think its adorable. and then they will get REALLY angry when you do not

[ardously]

telling girls they have “male” interests is literally a form of misogyny

If you don't believe some people are born homosexual you're basically a flat earther to me

ai tries to make easier as if anything big hard or challenging is a bad thing. we have learned discomfort is bad, bad, bad. mental strain is bad. being different is bad. being sad is bad. putting effort into real relationships is hard, and that’s bad, so ill talk to chatgpt instead.

i guess this is where the road that we’ve been on for quite some time naturally leads, as though we haven’t been training ourselves to value convenience and easiness above all else for a long time. discomfort, bad. challenging ourselves, bad. feeling bad is bad.

take the antidepressants, put on make up, take ozempic, get cosmetic surgery, take the hormones, do all of this to make Life Easy. iron out the wrinkles of life so you’re left with a crisp shirt that you don’t even put on after bc you forgot how to line up the buttons and button it up one by one, that’s too hard too.
