#and the not-so-subtle misogyny of it

[ladymacbeths]

yeah um No actually i think that any1 who reads macbeth as “good guy who’s manipulated into murder by his ambitious wife who Uses him” should 1. die 2. be forbidden from speaking about this play Ever bc ur doing Both of those characters a disservice

everytime i look in the lilith tag I see so much hate and antagonism for her, like my god. we barely know much about her but some people are just desperate to hate on her while woobifying male characters and I can think of one word why.

What is with the weird movement of trans guys rn who are like . “Trans men are never and will never be treated like cis men. Trans men will always ultimately be viewed and treated as women. Misogyny is an inescapable facet of transmasculinity. Male privilege is unattainable for trans men.” We are NOT experiencing the same transgenderism.

Major trigger warning for rape denial:

I don’t follow the op, but up until just now I was following someone who decided to reblog this post without comment. I’ve been desperately trying to keep on following people who hold differences of opinion and perspectives than me on I/P, to keep on following them for what I originally followed them for (like art, fandom, miscellaneous stuff) and hear what they have to say so that I don’t go down the rabbit hole I feel myself getting pulled towards, but then people go on to uncritically reblog shit like this and I just can’t. I’m beyond my limit here. I don’t know what to do anymore. There are so many things that are horrible and wrong about this post that I don’t even know where to start.

Additionally, this is one of the more heinous tags I saw in the notes of this post:

Not only is that incorrect, but also the reason why more women haven’t come out to say this is a) it’s incredibly traumatic and may take a long time for victims to process what they went through enough to actually speak out if they ever even get to that point, and b) MOST OF THE VICTIMS ARE FUCKING DEAD!!!

I don’t know what else to do or say here. In the past, I’ve called people out directly on their antisemitism, but I got so burned by it - I got called names and slurs and accused of things that I never said or did, and that’s impacted how I’ve interacted with this website as a whole for YEARS. Plus I’m just a stranger on the internet - sending a message out of the blue to someone describing why what they posted is awful will more likely than not have them get defensive and start attacking me in response. That’s not productive at all. I don’t know what else to do though other than block, unfollow, disengage, and if I really need to vent, then post it on my own blog away from the original post, like I’m doing right now. Obviously doing things in person, like talking to others face-to-face, going to irl rallies, talks, and events, and donating to causes are probably the most impactful, but online rhetoric can and does bleed into real life, and so I don’t think I can just ignore this either.

Anyways, Hanukkah is starting soon, so maybe the best thing to do for now is to log off.

people like hannibal because it’s not so fucking exhausting. more and more books and tv shows and movies are being put out by millennials and gen z who are constantly obsessed with making sure that everything is morally correct. that their characters are morally correct. who are constantly worried about perpetuating this or romanticizing that. in other words just trying to push purity culture and making fiction absolutely fucking dull because people absolutely refuse to separate reality from fiction. and sometimes you just need an interesting character like hannibal lecter who manipulates people for fun, try to use his power as a psychiatrist to push people to their edge, and eats people because they’re rude. and is 100% unapologetic about it.

The Barbie movie: “Men treating other men as competition for the “ownership” of women. Is profoundly damaging to there long term happiness and society itself. To find true self actualization and purpose men must build each other up-“

Conservatives;”THE BARBIE MOVIE HATES MEN-“

so much misogyny goes so unrecorded like i briefly had a crisis over my dissertation like maybe its not that deep and im being a snowflake but the thing is even though you can also always find examples of men being openly hostile and terrible a lot of the time you just look back and see a woman who didn’t progress with her career and you don’t know that its because her male bosses privately didn’t think a woman was competent or her husband made her feel guilty for working. most of the misogyny that impacts my daily life i have to stop and think... when they look back they’ll never know this was happening to us!!!

[elytrafemme]

the amount of discourse that could be resolved if people had the capacity to be aware of two truths at once... every time i see people on this website talk about the misandry/misogyny within the queer community i lose like five thousand brain cells. how can people be so so so correct about the existence of one of those things and then completely fucking pretend the other thing doesn’t exist. what am i doing here that other people cannot seem to conceive of our critical thinking skills cannot have declined this far. are you fucking with me be honest.

There is an entire contingent of Knives stans on Twitter who have convinced themselves that Rem was actually an abuser.

Incredible.

Grells depiction in the anime is so fucking baaaaaaad what irks me most is that shes depicted in a way that makes most people think shes an effeminate gay man instead of a transwoman... its the writers fault of course but even through a nostalgic lense watching scenes with her that appear as standalone from the manga makes me want to curl up and die
