Wish I was a late bronze age girl

I would have my homeland invaded by the sea peoples. I would be lain siege to by the sea peoples. My cities would be sacked by the sea peoples. I would make bronze tools and pottery. My shores would be invaded by the mysterious sea peoples. I would be mustering my armies to fend off the sea peoples.

I dont give a shit about the "poor american soldier who could be deployed in the middle east", if they set foot in any country in Asia or Africa they should be turned into paste.

While we're at it the way people define "masculinity" is more or less a collection of societal virtues they've sold themselves into thinking justify the patriarchy existing.

army guy comes home even more unstable than before, ruins marriage, scares his kids during visitation, gets his visitation rights limited, murders the children. i feel like this case has played out so many times the exact same way.

we shouldn’t judge people based on their sexual fantasies. We be smart enough to understand know the difference between fantasy and reality and we shouldn’t make assumptions about someone’s real life behavior just because they mentioned having a certain kink. but if someone says they like cozy farming sims then they definitely support ethnic cleansing.

Extremely entry-level no-fun-allowed hater moment incoming but. You, tumblr user, does that post actually "go harder that it has any right to" or are you just easily impressed by flowery prose with vaguely religious tone?

there's a very compelling fantasy i repeatedly hear by nostalgic? and reactionary westerners about nuclear families and abuse. if their were simply more people in the family, the patriarchs abuse would be limited. their would be a bystander to interfere. this is (a) deeply ahistorical, the rise of the nuclear family in fact seems to parallel feminist gains in the recognition of domestic abuse and (b) defacto or even dejure protections for women or children are not stronger in countries where large families are still extant, if shrinking (like india). but sure too many confounding factors to draw conclusions from.

fundamentally this story does not really understand why large families exist as they do, the people in them are not uninterested strangers who can act as good samaritans to each other. they are usually set to inherit land or a family home. they run a family business together and have for generations. they are a clan that has customary rights over resources or professions in a region that they fiercely protect from other clans. an abused child or a woman's welfare does not matter to this economic engine. in fact it creates circuits of complicity, and more importantly real motivations for abuse. we must ensure women remain compliant sources of reproductive and social labour for the family firm. we must protect the family honour, the reputation of the family firm, so those that step out of line by marrying without concern to family alliances and property, by being aberrant in anyway must be disciplined. its one thing for child services, that failing, benighted institution to interfere in a nuclear family, but to slight a clan? no, the police are more likely to fetch a runaway bride and deliver them back to the doorstep of their abusive natal family.

In The Name of Honour: Journalism on honour killings in Tamil Nadu, where families and communities collude to kill young adults for marrying for love across caste or religious lines.

We on the scary communist left recommend Abolish the Family, by Sophie Lewis as a primer.

one of my favorites from @wholesalemagnesiumoxide's detest the labor

religious killer: i can hear God speaking to me, to kill the demons that live in this world with my gun of justice

atheist killer: I kill only because of my own moral code. Whether it's for money so I can survive, or self-defense against a threat, I am the one who chooses when I kill.

agnostic killer: nobody really knows why I shoot people
