men are so obsessed with women to the point where they will draw or stage photographs of what they think women’s lives are like when men aren’t around or even when no one is around, they are obsessed with corrupting the solitude of women with their watchful eyes, they think they can imagine or correctly understand the multitudes of womanhood through the lens of art because they believe themselves to be artists that are somehow above misogyny and have therefore gained a higher understanding of womanhood and women’s solitude.  men are literally obsessed with corrupting women in any way they can, be it by taking a woman’s “virtue�� or by painting pictures that basically say even when women are alone, when women try to be free from society, when we are just lying in our beds or staring ourselves in the bathroom mirror, men are always always always watching. so like… male artists paint something else challenge

For the woman, the proof of love is that she is willing to be destroyed by the one whom she loves, for his sake. For the woman, love is always self-sacrifice, the sacrifice of identity, will, and bodily integrity, in order to fulfill and redeem the masculinity of her lover.

Did you know that after they switched to blind auditions, major symphony orchestras hired women between 30% to 55% more? Before bringing in “blind auditions” with a screen to conceal the the candidate, women in the top 5 major orchestras made up less than 5% of the musicians performing.

I hate how anything featuring women is seen as a "women's thing" and nothing more

if a movie is focused on a female protagonist, it's a "girl's movie"

but if it's focusing on a man, its supposed to be a universal thing we can all relate to, because it's about "human experience"

but we're seen as nothing more than girls, the human sub plot. they see us as less than human. to them, we'll never be seen as people- only girls, subhuman.

unpopular opinion: most of the time, “straight” culture is just misogyny and the only reason people don’t refer to it as such is because it’s easier to joke about “haha straight couples hate each other” rather than address the real problem which is that male entitlement and exploitation of women’s labor is so deeply normalized that it’s common for many straight women to harbor resentment towards their partners

You know how Lesley Gore wrote the song “You Don’t Own Me” about feminism and rejecting the patriarchy, but now it’s only used for perfume ads.

She didn’t deserve this smh

'but-but bsdm and violent sex doesn't affect anybody!' yes it does. now girls who want to be seen as attractive and loved normally by their partner in bed is considered a 'puritan' and 'vanilla'. they are shamed and routinely made fun for liking something normal by people irl and in the media.

I’ve always suspected that part of the reason why men don’t mind having kids with any woman they’re with even if they don’t plan to stay for long, is having children guarantees that the woman will always preform domestic labor. Even if she is exhausted and can’t stand his lazy ass, she can’t punish him by not cooking or cleaning until he does it, because she has to do it for her kids who don’t deserve to be collateral damage. As long as there are kids, the house is clean and there’s food. This also explains the great shift that happens with men once their gf/wife has kids. Men who used to do certain chores around the house will stop doing anything completely once their children are born cause now he knows, she has to do it anyway. He can be a useless piece of shit and ignore her pleads for help and call it nagging and laugh about it with his friends for this exact reason.

“Girls are so needy and naive and hard to raise. Not at all like boys who have higher homicide rates and are far more likely to fall down the incel and alt right pipeline. You don’t have to explain shit to them and I don’t plan to.”

I was watching a french show the other day and it was a political debate about prostitution. France voted to criminalize “clients” a few years ago. To represent the pro decriminalization they had invited a male client, a prostituted trans “woman” (who kept talking about being a good “whore” and saying “I’ll be happy to die with a dick in my mouth and another in my ass”) and a prostituted gay man. 

So 3 white men pretending to speak on behalf of prostituted women (who are mostly poor women of colour). 

On the other side were 2 radical feminists and an ex prostituted woman. That prostituted woman had been through hell and had difficulties expressing herself, she was talking about abuse and how she was almost killed. She also tried to talk about the abuse of children through prostitution. 

The trans “woman” laughed at her, yelled at her, insulted her ‘”shut up, shut up, shut up” “old hag” “too bad you didn’t die” “you’re dumb” (I swear I’m not making it up… it was extremely upsetting) 

and the male “client” was laughing (along with the men in the audience)

The male host did not intervene to make it stop and was in favour of decriminalizing clients of course. I’ve talked to some of the feminists invited on the show and they said that even worse things were being said to the ex prostituted woman off mic. They said they were set up, told that both point of view would be presented but the show was definitely in favour of liberals and the “sex work” lobby and their microphones were always off so they couldn’t really talk.

I looked up that “client” and it turns out he’s a pseudo-intellectual bourgeois who has a fetish on asian women. He asks them to act like naive little girls for him. Total racist and a big fan of the book “Lolita”. He also posts pictures of asian women dressed as schoolgirls being tied up.

Anyway, the show ended with a group of radical feminists storming the set, chanting feminist slogans as they were removed by security.

In a world that benefits, PROFITS, off female insecurity, hype yourself up. Make sure you know you're the most lovable, perfect thing to grace every room you walk into as you are. Tell yourself you're absolutely flawless in the mirror, invest in your intelligence and hobbies, in your future, in your HEALTH. Tell yourself you deserve the best. Because you do. You deserve health, happiness, friendship, community and love. <3
