I don’t have long nails but I do have painted medium natural nails. I have to be careful on how I use my hands to prevent chipping my polish or wear protective gloves.
It 100% takes up headspace on how I use my hands. Even though it’s less debilitating it still impacts how I do things.
my new conspiracy theory is that long fake nails are a completely artificial trend created to prevent women from doing anything with their hands. a form of hobbling, perhaps.

inasmuch as most leftists rn are willing to admit that women are oppressed on the basis of being women, they really really really want you to name men as an equally victimized class. and of course you cannot acknowledge men as a class of people who benefit from women's oppression!
so where does patriarchy come from? a magical system that harms everybody equally and benefits nobody at all, forced upon society by some kind of mysterious and unknowable force? it's probably best that we just avoid talking about it forever because it's not that important anyway and there are real problems to worry about instead

So in the latest "ban books!" controversy there's a picture book for pre-schoolers called "Grandad's Pride" the objection is that some of the illustrations of Pride involve men in leather
and I could go on and on about how yes that is in fact something you might see at Pride out in public so why would you not include it but.....

here's an unrelated image of popular children's cartoon character He-Man in a Harness (and fury underpants) if its only a problem when gay men do it, thats homophobia...

I really hate “liberals” trying to get one up on conservative women who have a lot of kids by saying they have a breeding kink. First of all, they’re clearly saying it because they see these women as religious and “prude-y,” missionary-sex-with-the-lights-off types, and are saying this sexual thing to make them uncomfortable, and second, it’s not even true. There’s no breeding kink, there’s just misogynistic, religious indoctrination. Way to turn a necessary conversation into just a lewd sex joke about these women.

Why do you assume trans women would behave any differently? If anything they’re more likely to be ones harassing you

you know, I can't blame boomers for being Like That.
if I grew up in a world where I could fund a college education with a part-time job and buy a house with an average single person's full-time wages I would probably also be really weird about hard work and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps and stuff.
