The actual percentage of homosexuals is so small that it makes living in this world feel isolating so few understand you nothing is made for you and if it is other groups take it and destroy it

"it''ll be a statue of a woman, like a beautiful statue of a woman, and it'll be like...she helped lead the way for so many refugees or she was a nurse or she was this and she was that. She was just this pillar of society in her time. She was such an influential and powerful woman.

And they'll zoom in on her face, and they'll zoom in on the plaque, and they'll zoom out and show a full body...and it’ll show that one of her breasts has been basically rubbed off and it’s so shiny because all the tourists and, you know, whoever, has touched her breast and that's her legacy now.

[…] and you walk up to it and it’s just… through all that, through all the effort, through all the care and all the legacy she left behind, the only thing that she is now seen for is her breasts. That's gonna make me actually sick."

wild how like PCOS, endometriosis, vaginismus & hell, even frequent yeast infections are “mysterious” with no well known cause and little to no decent treatment, but we have tons of supposedly well researched body fat removal methods, about 20 different kinds of breast implants, laser hair removal, and 100 different dermatologist recommended anti aging creams. we sure had the money and brainpower to cure those “diseases”

I was watching a youtube video of a trial in the US: a young man who killed his father because he'd been raping him ever since he was 6. He got sentenced to life in prison because either the jury didn't believe him or they didn't believe he'd acted in self defence, whatever. I watched him cry as he was being questioned by the lawyers about what he'd endured and I genuinely felt bad for him. I believed him and was moved by his pain. I checked the comments and everybody was being supportive and saying he should be freed, but there were also dozens of comments with thousands of upvotes saying: "if he'd been a girl he would be free right now", "people never believe men", "this is why men don't come forward" and "if he was a girl it would be a whole different story." Men and women, repeating the same thing over and over again, like some rehearsed performance: women are believed more than men and they get a free pass for murder. Basically, that the justice system favours women and hastily punishes those accused of rape. Which is a blatant lie. So why do people believe it? Why do they feel the need to say it every time a man is abused? My empathy for the guy slowly vanished as I remembered that a man would never feel the same way about a woman and that men literally use other men's pain to oppress women further. There's an underlying message with it too: that men rape women so frequently that everyone believes it, which is a privilege. Female privilege. Women and girls are privileged for being assaulted so frequently that it can't be denied. And yet it is.

I looked at the corner of my youtube screen and saw the next recommended video: "Camille Vasquez's Cross of Amber Heard." In the video, Amber Heard cries much like the man I was watching just before, about being raped. The top comments all call her a liar, an evil psychopath, a bad actress and a woman who tried to ruin a man's life with false rape accusations. They're all laughing at her. You really can't make this shit up.

Sall Grover said something like: "Transwomen aren't in a fight for rights, they have a list of demands and part of their demand is that no woman is allowed to say "no" to a man with a gender identity. Women are the ones fighting for their rights, the right to say "no" to a man"

The bill in the uk which defines a women had hundreds of comments from men who believed "we should ban the whole lgbt", just btw. Most of the people who support that bill are just as homophobic as they are transphobic. It isnt a movement to protect women, it is the start of a landslide infringement on lgbt rights in the uk. When they start banning lesbianism, then u will realise what side you are on lmao.

How is the fact that women are pressured by both misogynistic conservatives and misogynistic liberals somehow our fault? I don't GIVE A FUCK if the only men who don't support the erasure of sex are conservative. Just like I don't GIVE A FUCK if the only men who support abortion rights are liberlas who support women getting fired for calling their rapist a man. You're not going to manipulate me to align with one or another. FUCK BOTH OF THEM. I HATE BOTH OF THEM. WOMEN WILL FIGHT THEM BOTH. AS WE ALWAYS HAVE. Women right's doesn't mean "whatever rights men will support". It means women's rights. Women empowered themselves and got rights and protections starting with fighting a conservative base already. We'll just do it the fuck again. "Oh they'll ban lesbianism." It's currently illegal for lesbian groups and spaces to exist without trans dicks in many places. The liberals have already effectively soft-banned lesbians. It's easier to fight people who acknowledge you exist than people who will put you in jail for speaking words they don't like. We know because we did it already. We don't need the support of hostile anti feminist liberals who will give us rights as long as we agree that we don't actually exist or need unique rights. GO THE FUCK TO HELL.

It's sooo funny to me when celebrities (especially singers) cultivate an image of "provocateurs", really pushing the limits of polite society by... dressing up as like, the devil, or making fun of christianity in some other way. Like by all means do that, but we all know it's not controversial at all. It's been done to death since at least the 70's. We've sort of culturally all canonized that satirizing christianity is "sticking it to the man". It's completely safe to make fun of christianity, there's absolutely zero risk, sexualizing a nun in your music video is not really challenging anything... Dressing up as Muhammad would be controversial. THAT would be daring. But it's unsafe to do so, both from the "in-group" finding it offensive and racist (although it absolutely doesn't have to be), AND the risk of retaliation a la Charlie Hebdo

Consent can be revoked at ANY time for ANY reason. The rules don’t suddenly change for you just because you’re part of a minority.

I hate how saying “non men loving non men” applies only to lesbians, you never see anyone say “non women loving non women” when talking about gay men.

Gender non conforming kids do not need fixed. Not by conservatives telling them they should fit the gender role society attached to their sex. And not by liberals telling them they need to go on puberty blockers so they can transition to the other gender/sex. Literally just leave them alone

I think I posted a few months back about how Iceland's government coalition was going to be headed by 3 women but in today's news, it was reported that all major positions in Iceland are held by women.

The positions are:

-The heads of all 3 political parties in the central government

-The heads of all parties that form the Reykjavík local government

-The President of Iceland

-The head of the police

-The head of the church of Iceland

-The Dean of every university in Iceland

-The head prosecutor of Iceland

The cabinet of the central government is also primarily female, if I recall correctly.

The head of the biggest bank in Iceland, Íslandsbanki, is also a woman.

Go on Iceland, become a matriarchal society. You know you want to.
