all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.

im thinking of jobs that involve contact with the private area. doctors, beauty salons, tattooist/piercer. they all wear gloves and work in sterile environments, also the worker is clothed.

im thinking of jobs that involve saliva. also doctors, covid test stations. again, sterile environment, worker is clothed, probably even wearing a mask, and gloves.

im thinking of jobs where the worker has to get naked. actors and actresses, models. they are at least supposed to have a coach on set and an agent supporting their safety.

none of this is implemented in prostitution and never will be because it destroys the illusion of it being about sex and not money and power exerted through it. sex cant be regulated or professionalised and thats beside the point that with all possible regulations it is still unwanted sex.

I will never get over how offensive “sex isn’t real” rhetoric is. It denies the present and past realities of billions and billions of women. It obscures how sexism is systemic. 50 years ago, banks could deny women opening their own accounts (in the US!!!). Was it random? How did they decide who was allowed to and who wasn’t if sex is so obscure and not real and nobody can really tell? Yes, people with DSDs and gender non conforming people have always existed but that doesn’t mean society has/had no concept of men and women. It’s so absurd. I don’t understand how people can say sex isn’t real. I have like award winning professors who say that.

This is a message to bisexuals that I (a bisexual) have often really needed to hear -

There may be times when you don’t relate to straight people’s experiences of opposite sex attraction. This doesn’t mean you’re not attracted to the opposite sex. It just means you’re not straight.

There may be times when you don’t relate to gay/lesbian people’s experiences of same sex attraction. This doesn’t mean you’re not attracted to the same sex. It just means you’re not gay/lesbian.

4B (or "Four No's") is a radical feminist movement originating in South Korea in 2019.

your sex is literally just your body. it is a completely neutral biological characteristic. it says nothing about you. nothing about your personality is incompatible with your body. you can act/dress/behave any way you want regardless of your sex! neither your personality or body need to change!!

baffling how this take has become so demonized

if women controlled the world, religion would be doing acid with your grandma in the woods. wish this was the way of the world

It is wild that although the majority of users on this website will happily and loudly declare that they virulently despise terfs, they would be unable to define radical feminism if a gun was pressed to their heads. I have never before seen such consistently bad faith interpretations and utter refusal to even acknowledge what the dissenting group believes.

Redownloaded Instagram and after five minutes of scrolling my schools gossip page I feel so gross like I feel the need to put my brain through the dishwasher after reading all that 😭 blehhhhhhhh

unavoidable that you will be the villain in someone else's story. You will be painted in an unfavorable light. You will be the irredeemable one. and all of this will happen despite how nice you might usually be or how kind or how respectful or how warm. and you will just have to move on.

Just went and browsed the subreddit—it seems like an absolutely wonderful and supportive community of women on there! If we can circulate this enough in radfem circles then it would be good for women to know that it’s a resource!!

Really good post on r/loveafterporn. Honestly, every woman with a porn-/sex-addicted partner needs to read this

Great news everyone. There was a kitten wandering in the drive thru at work and my inner warrior cats kid tried to be a hero and capture him.

I have now suffered multiple puncture wounds and have to go to the emergency room.

girl typing a very specific question into google search bar, scrunching her face as she takes time to make sure she hasn't made any spelling errors, hitting enter, shaking her head as google only presents her with unhelpful websites that don't answer her query at all, moving her cursor back to the search bar and clicking on it so she can carefully write 'reddit' at the end, hitting enter again, sighing with relief as she finds a link to a reddit post asking the exact question she needed answered posted in a subreddit for a very niche topic, finally moving her cursor to click on the link, wondering why she didn't go straight to the subreddit earlier, only to be met with a deleted comment with a reply from the OP stating 'that was very helpful, thanks', sighing with frustration as she moves her cursor back to the search bar so she can copy the link and paste it into the wayback machine,
