i hate how whenever there’s a conversation about how horrific the porn industry is to women, there’s always someone asking “oh but what about ethical porn” “what about OF” “what about gay porn” “what about animated” “what about-”

why do you people need porn so fucking bad?? i guarantee you you’re gonna be healthier and happier and have a better relationship without it, speaking from experience. and before someone says it: i’m not sex-negative. sex is fine. this isn’t about sex. this is about being a fly on the wall, watching others have sex.

i don’t understand, when the industry is as horrific as it is, why you would bother taking any risk regarding engaging with it when it does nothing but hurt you anyway. ofc it’s not the same as paying to watch filmed rape, but all the same, why would you let it get into ur psychology to begin with? wise words of Gail Dines: reclaim your sexuality from pornography.

there needs to be a name specifically for serial killers who exclusively murder women because

A) the sheer amount of them and

B) the huge difference between a "serial killer" who kills whoever he can get his hands on for the thrill, vs a man who hates (or loves sexually abusing) women so fucking bad that he hunts women for sport, seeing men as so different from women that women aren't even on the level deserving empathy he has no problem giving to men.

one has severe mental illness and a lack of empathy and/or sadism, the other is driven by a hatred of women. those have to be different things. they cannot be talked about the same way.

I live in a country where if you film any act of humiliation or torture, and if the victim is a woman, the film is both entertainment and it is protected speech. Now that tells me something about what it means to be a woman citizen in this country, and the meaning of being second class.

When your rape is entertainment, your worthlessness is absolute. You have reached the nadir of social worthlessness.

men being killed is a mercy that women are not given. women and girls are only kept alive because they are seen as property - killing men is seen as killing their ‘owners’.

‘men can use 5 in one soap on their whole body and have clear skin but i have a 30 step skincare routine and am still covered in acne’ yeah because A LOT (NOT ALL) of womens’ products arent actually meant to help you. a lot of them are designed to only fix imaginary problems and do the bare fucking minimum to keep your skin clean. the beauty industry fucking hates women and i wish everyone knew that

One of the most dangerous things in the world is not being able to say no to people because you don't want to upset them or dissapoint them. This will completely ruin your life in every way possible, at work, in your private life, your sex life and your friendships. It's a way of removing your own consent in your own decisions and go against your wishes, it is always a crime against yourself. Let yourself have a say. Upsetting people is better than traumatizing yourself.

Some people will see women’s rights being attacked and taken and instead of caring about the women they’ll go, “wow, they’re going to go after the Real People next, let’s speculate on who instead of advocating for women”

The social coercion women face to date people they’re not attracted to is fucking insane. I remember distinctly thinking “well, I can just force myself to be attracted to him…”

Films, books, etc, all show the trope of beautiful woman and unattractive man. There is still the myth that an unattractive man will treat you better than an attractive one (more women are waking up to this, but still). Even now the left thinks that activism happens between the legs of women.

Don’t date people you’re not attracted to. Don’t feel guilty for not giving them the time of day. No means no.
