there is no evidence of prostitution’s existence until the neolithic agricultural revolution, stemming from an unequal resource distribution and the rise of female oppression. for reference, the start of agriculture until now comprises less than 10% of homo sapien history. do not let men tell you misogyny is a natural part of life. it’s not.

I hate anyone who talks about sexual orientation labels as “restrictive” and how in the progressive future or whatever fictional scenario free of bigotry people will stop calling themselves gay and just “be free” to fuck everyone and everything. sorry but being homosexual is not somehow tied to bigotry it’s literally just a neutral state of being, even if homophobia is removed and we have total acceptance homosexuality will still exist.

(Lesbian OP) "women are more attractive than men"

(The replies)

"Hey, I'm a man and this hurt me worse than anything else in the world. My wife left me this morning and this post was my final straw. I'm standing in my bathtub right now with a pistol in my mouth and it's your fault you bitch. You bitch. You cunt bitch"

"Aaaaand this right here is why everyone hates lesbians."

"What about trans men????? You're saying you hate trans men??? You're saying you want all trans men to kill themselves??????????"

"Hey op this is a lil uhhh....yikes! Just a reminder from your friendly neighborhood Cheese Goblin™️ that people of ALL genders and sexual orientations are attractive. MEN ARE VALID. MEN ARE BEAUTIFUL. MEN ARE LOVED. Sexism towards men will NEVER be okay, and if you disagree you can fuck right off *gif from Good Omens*

Actually I dgaf what tumblr has to say about hip hop and rap music actually because Black art will always be loved and supported by us matter what. Thank you Black women of hip hop and rap for giving us an outlet to be angry and voice our emotions in spite of the angry Black girl trope. Thank you Da Brat, Queen Latifah, Salt and Pepa and more for starting the lane for women in rap and giving us the Black tomboy rapper. Thank you Lil Kim and Foxy Brown for birthing the sexual hypefeminine Black Barbie and crossing hip hop with high fashion. Thank you Missy Elliot for revolutionising production and choreography in hip hop music. Thank you Nicki Minaj for keeping women's rap alive in the 2010s and showing the versatility of rap with pop music. Thank you Rico Nasty for giving us Black female rage and giving us alt Black girl rep. Thank you Doja Cat and Tierra Whack for giving us quirky Black girl rap representation.

Thank you Black women of hip hop for giving us representation across the board . That we can be just as masculine just like the men of rap but also as girly and as feminine as can be.

That no matter the misognyoir, colourism and queerphobia we exist and we will always be here.

Thank you Black women of rap and hip hop. I love you all!

I can't imagine being delusional enough to describe myself as "tme" while my reproductive rights are perpetually threatened in most of the country. I am a trans man and I am tma. I am a trans person who experiences misogyny.

hey man everyone loved how convenient and easily forgettable you were on earth. u were the least inconvenient person out there. my buddy told me you were super helpful and nice and didn't take up any space and just slid away from their mind as soon as they stopped looking at you. it was really impressive how little of an impression you made on anyone. sucks that it didn't save you man.

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.

(The real kicker is the people saying stuff like "getting old sucks" are in their 20s and 30s.)
