I kind of hate comments like this under photos/ videos of fat people. I get where they are coming from, people are typically pretty cruel to larger people, especially women, who post themselves on the internet. However I feel like these comment just acts as a reminder that people are fatphobic and that you should expect awful comments. Like it’s putting you in your place. I don’t know if that makes sense, but to me it’s like if I went to my sister in law and randomly said “it’s so great no one was racist to you today” and then expected a pat on the back.

Yeah yeah it’s cool that men are allowed to wear make-up now, but can we finally allow women to stop wearing make-up? Or is that side of the coin not profitable enough

Does anyone else think it’s weird how so many people see being penetrated as a punishment or something that’s degrading? It feels both homophobic ,misogynistic and a pretty damaging way to think about sex.

Mens reactions to a story about women being brutally raped while on vacation in Dubai. It shouldn’t surprise me anymore but it always does.

Men are happy enough to share these comments on a public platform, with their real name and photo of themselves. But we are meant to believe they give a shit about consent? We are meant to believe they view women as fully people? Women get condemned for being naive, but what young person isn’t naive and trusting, who doesn’t want to have a good time on holiday? Nothing is said about the men who attack us and rape us.

If the reason why the legislation got passed (that women legally means female) was because JK Rowling payed 70k in lawyers fees, shouldn’t the takeaway be that people shouldn’t be able to influence the decision of government with money?

Obviously 70k is a lot of money for most people (including me) but it isn’t actually that much money in the grand scheme of things and if your saying that’s all it takes to influence laws we would all be a bit fucked. Like 10% of the uk has over 70k saved up.
