I’ll eventually go through my posts on here and make a personal archive of whatever’s worth keeping before I finally leave this site forever, but for now I feel the need to come back and say this: westerners critiquing the ~iranian regime~ to a western audience at this critical time are warmongers at best and belong in the hague at worst, alongside every propagandist who’s ever carried water for US imperialism

As a black girl, it’s just impossible for me to ignore the similarities between black face and drag as phenomenons that were/are incredibly normalized in popular culture. Both are offensive exaggerations of an oppressed class to the point of caricaturization by the oppressor class for entertainment and perpetuate harmful stereotypes. The defence line drag apologists always use is that drag is an exploration of gender expression especially for gender non conforming males who were never able to express their femininity and that’s why it’s different from black face in that sense which is just blatant racism. What they don’t know is that white performers often used the excuse of exploring their ��inner negro” when in blackface and it was actually a very popular response to blackface criticism lol. And even then..why should women be mocked and made sexual objects in order for men to be able to “express themselves” it’s really just grade A sexism so many drag performers have expressed not thinking that women should participate. There is no other explanation for why drag queens are overwhelmingly much more popular than drag kings and that’s the fact that embodiments of men aren’t seen as jokes. Recently read this really fascinating paper that talks about how similar the two are I strongly recommend it

really really mind boggling how since the whole tariff thing started you can hear in the news every day that america cannot function without cheap overseas labor and that the exact same labor would have to be abundantly compensated in the us of a and then we just breeze past that. like um guys. the evil implication is right behind me, isn't it

The idea that most gay men, if/when given access to hegemonic male power, would choose to continue walking in step with female interests is so delusional to me. Even the gay men I know who are very sympathetic to women (mind you, many are either totally indifferent or actively hostile) would clearly would jump at the opportunity to align with male power and influence whenever and however possible. Gay men are men, and they want money, power, and influence just as much as the next man..... It makes sense that the alliance between gay men and women has been progressively breaking down since the 90s. The alignment was circumstantial. Circumstances for gay men in the Western world have changed and continue to change for the better. Good for them. But women's circumstances...hm, not as much. So the people still talking like it's 1982 starting to sound a bit delulu to me.

Reading Judith Butler’s new book Who’s Afraid of Gender.

I read Butler in undergrad but this book was published in 2024 and its arguments are asinine. I don’t remember her earlier work being THIS empty. NOWHERE in the chapters arguing against gc’s and radfems does Butler bother to state the position she’s arguing against (gender abolition).

I was interested because the blurbs on the back promise “dazzling intellect and moral confidence to orient us inside the maze of projections confessions and cooptations that make up today’s wars over gender”. Instead I just got pissed off.

Butler straight up makes the comparison between denying that a black person is black and denying that a trans woman is a female.

This page is shortly after a passage where she argues that radfems are opposed to addressing the unique struggles of WOC and working class women, wildly ironic as black rads were talking about double jeopardy decades before intersectionality was coined.

Ridiculous that this section made it through her editor as it’s entirely unrelated to her argument that people can change sex! It would indeed be upsetting if radfems were telling Jewish people they weren’t Jewish….but we aren’t 😛 and Butler seemingly can’t argue against the actual point we’re making.

Butler legitimately believes we can change the reality of sex by making legal and administrative alterations to what we mean by the term “sex”. This argument entirely based on the power of naming, but sex exists materially prior to our naming of it.

At the end of the day penile inversion procedures have nothing to do with changing sex.the vagina is self cleaning, self lubricating, and stretchy. The only similarly between a neo vagina and a vagina is the ability for penetration, and that’s only the case if a neovagina is regularly dilated 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️

Society cares so little about vaginas that a significant amount of people, including women like Butler, are now comfortable calling an inverted penis (or a hole made with material from the colon) a vagina.

proper care for them differs incredibly. Douching for example is harmful to vaginas. But douching is necessary to remove….material…..from neovaginas after they’re used.

After approvingly quoting Andrea Long Chu (“sissy porn made me trans” TIM) Butler proceeds to misrepresent gc and radfem arguments about rape for six pages straight.

It is abjectly ridiculous to go on and on about how being raped with a penis is no differnt from being raped by any other “instrument” without addressing the fact a penis is the only thing that can caused forced impregnation, which has happened to multiple imprisoned women raped by TIMs!

to not even mention that the vast vast majority of rape is done by male people (96% iirc) is SUCH a cop out. consistent theme is that Butler refuses to engage with the actual argument radical feminists are making. 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️

I find it interesting that Trans women are presented as hating/removing their penises, despite the fact that Butler vehemently disagrees that having gender dysphoria or wanting genital surgery is necessary to “change sex”. We also know that statistically the vast majority of trans people still have their natal genitals.

Butler can’t even bring herself to refer to what Karen White did as rape. The endless euphemistic terms for it infuriate me. How did we let someone who writes like this get as popular as she is ??

“Musk talks about Mars as a lifeboat for humanity, which is among the very stupidest things that someone could say,” says Adam Becker, an astrophysicist and author of the book More Everything Forever, which outlines the messianic, sci-fi fantasies of the tech oligarchs. “There are so many reasons why it’s such a bad idea, and this is not about, ‘Oh, we’ll never have the technology to live on Mars.’ That’s not what I’m saying. What I’m saying is that Earth is always going to be a better option no matter what happens to Earth. Like, we could get hit with an asteroid the size of the one that killed off the dinosaurs, and Earth would still be more habitable. We could explode every single nuclear weapon, and Earth would still be more habitable. We could have the worst-case scenario for climate change, and Earth would still be more habitable. Any cursory examination of any of the facts about Mars makes it very clear.”

What You’ve Suspected Is True: Billionaires Are Not Like Us

while men are using AI to create girlfriends who are perfected versions of white femininity and/or deepfakes of celebrities like addison rae, sydney sweeney, and sabrina carpenter, they are also using AI to create videos of black women that depict us as grotesque or even quite literally apes. these are two sides of the same coin, and the relationship between them is complex; whiteness needs blackness to exist, because the concept of whiteness is meaningless without blackness. as i discussed as recently as yesterday, whiteness is the mere absence of blackness. therefore white women are only beautiful, in the social construction of race, because they are not black, because they are the antithesis of blackness.

this is part of the larger cultural war i've written about many times on here, what george lipsitz calls the possessive investment in whiteness, and what is popularly known as the "anti-woke" backlash to inclusive representation in media. technology can now be used to create black people, especially black women, who conform to racist stereotypes, and these are used as a teaching tool for enforcing various white supremacist hegemonies. this is not a new idea, of course--before we had AI, we had minstrels and black actors who were paid to portray these stereotypes. but the fact that this kind of racist propaganda can now be deployed and disseminated so widely and so cheaply should be deeply concerning to you.

Prison is slavery. Not a metaphor literal slave labor.

But here’s another not-so-fun fact they don’t teach in school: if you're a woman locked up, you get a set number of pads for your period. Run out? Too bad. Bleed through? That's your fault. And if blood stains your jumpsuit? That’s a disciplinary mark. Rack up enough of those, and they can extend your sentence.

Yeah. You heard that right. Bleeding can make your time longer.Now ask yourself, do men have to deal with any of that? Do they get punished for their biology? For bleeding? No, they don't cause men dont have periods!

Women are being punished in a system that already chews them up and spits them out. Most women in prison are there for nonviolent crimes, fraud, petty theft, survival shit. Not murder or rape. And yet they’re given barely enough pads to get by, then written up if they bleed through.

This is why you can’t say women’s and men’s prisons are the same. Women's biology is weaponized against them. Their bodies used as tools of control. The system doesn't just exploit them it re-traumatizes them, over and over, for being women.

Prison doesn’t rehabilitate. It punishes the poor, the vulnerable, the already-abused and it punishes women differently in ways no man will ever know.

just heard someone use the phrase “sex workers from ancient rome” you mean female sex slaves those women were probably born into lower classes and forced to become slaves to males, the glorification of the horrific things females have had done to them does still shock me everytime.
