part of the reason i love how bell hooks talks about masculinity is that she shows real compassion towards men suffering from the effects of toxic masculinity. she was conscious of how we need to unlearn the ways we talk about men + masculinity just as much as we need to unlearn the same for women + femininity. so many times ill see someone talking about toxic masculinity like (hyperbolizing here but only slightly) "these FUCKING STUPID BABY BITCHES won't MAN UP and go to a therapist!!!" and like. i get the anger. but you see feminists recreating patriarchal manhood by only promoting good behaviors through patriarchal frameworks. any use of the term "real men" is bad because it reifies the idea that manhood is a special title you must earn, and it is something possible to fail and fake. & as important as it is to promote sexual equality + the pleasure of non-cis-men, lots of people are essentially still working with the idea that men need sexual prowess to have worth but just shifting it slightly so there is more emphasis on women's pleasure. but I want cis men to think about their partners' pleasure because they care about their partners, not because they need to check a box in order to keep their man card. and don't get me started on small dick jokes– and the absolutely pitiful excuse people will use that "well, I don't believe it, but misogynistic men get upset when I say it, so it's okay!"

basically bell hooks is so fucking right. in order to create loving men we need to love men, simply for being alive, whether or not they are performing. as much as we need to actively unlearn misogyny (and we do), it's equally vital we unlearn patriarchal ways of seeing manhood. we can't just assume that taking a feminist perspective automatically means there is no work to be done there.

Holy shit, it feels like a fantasy. THIS is what I mean by make every stall a disabled stall.

A video of a bathroom at ability 360 where every stall is wheelchair accessible with grab bars, space to maneuver, grips for easy close, roll under sinks, a private bathroom, and a wide doorway to get in

I think old people are underutilized in horror, aging and the elderly are often viewed as the antagonizing force. more horror movies need badass elderly female protagonists. final girl? no. final senior citizen. accruing 85 years of knowledge and using it to combat the forces of evil. she survived WW2 and you think she’s going to let some edgy 20 something slasher villain take her down? helllllll no.

Not a Swiftie I promise, just curious about something since the website from what I've seen just does not like her

Is there any Taylor Swift song you genuinely enjoy listening to? (please include any covers of her music as hers)
