Misandry will never be the same as misogyny

Ask a man why he hates women, he will answer with because women are naturally inferior. They are dumb, weak, bitches, sluts, soul-sucking creatures, that it is somehow in our DNA to be terrible people.

Ask a woman why she hates men, she will tell you she was raped at 15 by a boy she thought she could trust, she was brought up to never walk alone at night, always share your location with trusted people, look out for early warning signs of abusive men, carry your keys in your fingers as you walk back to your car, don't leave your drink unattended as it may get drugged. She watched her feminine peers be bashed and killed by their male partners, male politicians taking away her right to healthcare. She was sexually harassed on the bus to work, in the club dancing with her friends, her DMs filled with unsolicited dick pics. She's been referred to as a bitch for sticking to boundaries, a slut for being too easy, labelled an angry feminazi bitch for speaking out about rape culture, a slut that deserved it for being raped. She thought it was normal for her father to only express the emotion anger, the child brides that are sold and raped daily globally, the milions of women who are victims of genitalia mutilation. When she speaks up about these issues men turn a blind eye to it because they're "a good guy and don't do that" so it mustn't be a problem. She witnessed her mum having to do all the parental and house labor while her dad worked and would come home, expecting a beer in his hand and the TV remote in the other. Her father taught her that men like women a certain way and that there's no other reason for women to exist but cook, clean, satisfy and birth. She hates men because this world was made by men for men. She hates men because she's tired of being treated as property instead of a goddamn human being. She hates men for continuing the patriarchal narrative instead of listening and assisting women in dismantling the patriarchy. She hates men because they've never given her a reason to love them. She hates men because they hate us.

An open letter to the most deluded delusional cracker jack I have ever-

Hello, father. I just would like to inform you that the police have been contacted and you will be charged with tackiosity AND racism. There is one way for you to prevent this, flacid-haired loon. Describe in detail why on earth you woke up one feeble morning of you mediocre life and decided MY best selling novel https://www.wattpad.com/story/186965069-the-girl-who-unlocked-my-leg was suddenly an issue for you. YOU knew from the very beginning of your untamed and unkempt time in the tgwuml fan club that it was what it was. irregardless of this YOU are the one who wrote note only a sickening psychotic spiral of a fanfiction about one of side characters BARRYS taking over the entire tgwumlverse because you used MY characters to project about your main character syndrome fantasy because your real life is so underwhelmingly underwhelming that you had to resort to BABY MUTILATION in your BArrys sequel to bring your life some semblance of meaning. Give me my list or I will have you arrested. You know this because in @anartistthatdoesthings do fanfiction you think is your life I AM THE ANGRY BLACK WOMAN WHO CALLS THE SAD LITTLE ARIAN SLURS. DO you see the issues in your delusion?

your obedient servant (of an undetermined colour),

Will never, ever, ever understand people still trying to be nice to bigots.

I used to be one of those people. I used to believe in respectability politics, and that having a “civil” conversation with someone who hated my existence would automatically change their ways, and they’d just stop being hateful. I used to think that they simply needed someone to be kind to them.

But the more I was nice to them, the more they were nasty to me, and the more they wanted to hurt me, and when I calmly told them to stop being the way that they were, and they kept going, and I simply ignored them and moved on… I would sit back and think about the fact that I should’ve said more.

I should’ve stood my ground, told them exactly how I felt about them, called them out, and just straight up cussed them out, because they did not deserve any ounce of niceness whatsoever. Because even after all of that, even after trying so hard to convince them to stop being hateful, they were still the same exact person they were before I even encountered them. They were, in fact, even worse than before.

Because at the end of the day, they do not want to change. Bigotry does not give a fuck about facts, about kindness, about growth, none of that shit. Bigotry simply wants to feel superior. It wants to be above everyone else. It demands people to obey it, it destroys and it crawls into holes to fester a foul stench.

Abusers do not give a fuck about being better, about wanting to change. Abusers want power.

So now… I no longer care about being nice. Especially since niceness is a product of capitalism. A product of upholding the status quo and “keeping the peace”, aka making the bigots comfortable, and ignoring those who are oppressed.

I say what I say, and I mean every fucking word, because I’m tired of spending all of my energy on something that was never worth it in the first place.

I was told I was too nice, and I needed to “learn a little spite”, as a friend said to me. Well, I’ve learned much more than that. I’ve learned to be fucking nasty, and that is what I always will be.

My voice is my strength, and my greatest weapon.

Since y’all wanna fuck around and find out, oh be my fucking guest. Cause I got time.

This voice has been hidden for years. This voice has been boiling beneath the surface, begging to be released, and I will not bite my tongue.

One day, we’ll let black girls be more than the one dimensional angry black women stereotype. One day 🤞🏾

She pushed her chair back and stood up, as the lily-white writers (all of them men, most of them young) stared at her like she was an exotic animal liable to hurt someone at any moment.

To set boundaries and consider self-care are two of the biggest lessons she showed through her actions described in this book.

[feminineraage]

My biggest fear as a woman is to give birth to female baby. To teach her growing up how to minimize the risk of getting assaulted, abused and/or killed because men still hate women. That men will talk over her in spaces such as in academia and the workplace. If she is lesbian or bisexual, men will see her sexuality as a fetish, merely a performance for the sexual gratification of men. That as a woman, especially a black woman, she will have try 10 times harder to get the same praise and success as a white man. I will have to teach her the early warning signs of abusive men. Knowing that statistically speaking, no matter how hard I try to shelter her or teach defense techniques, that one day she will come to me seeking comfort from the trauma she endured from the hands of men. I think there's nothing worse than knowing if I was to have a daughter, she'd have to grow up in the same world I did.

There needs to be more black female rage in movies I need us to see that it’s ok to be angry.

I’m reminded of how passive and silent I was back then. How I cared so much about what other people thought that I was scared to even open my mouth at all. I never spoke, never stood up for myself, I simply kept all of that anger deep down inside of me and let it boil until I couldn’t take it… but yet I never said a word…

And all because I wanted to “keep the peace”…

I will never deny myself a voice again… ever. I will never let somebody keep me quiet. The voice I have now is due to many years of pent up rage and energy that has been hidden and denied for so long, and is now bursting like a volcano into the very depths of space…

It went from a pot of boiling water with a top placed over it… shaking vigorously, yet never popping off… to the searing flames within the stove scorching everything around it… bringing the entire house down into nothing but ashes…

I’m really happy that Black Sails is experiencing a bit of a renaissance, but (predictably) some of the takes I’m seeing online are so busted. It’s wild to me that anyone would complain about the fact that Anne Bonny kisses Jack after she’s developed this life-changing relationship with Max. It’s absolutely wild to see anyone roll their eyes or feel uncomfortable about the fact that Flint has sex with Miranda when he returns to her in season one or that Max is most likely a lesbian but actively has sex with men for pay and knows how to make that pleasurable. It’s crazy to me that some of the very audiences who claim to want queer representation feel so discomforted when they actually see the mess and seeming inconsistencies of queerness that they asked for.

The reality is that there are lesbians who have had (and will have!) meaningful, mutually-gratifying, and deeply sexual relationships with men. There are gay men who’ve enjoyed having sex with women, who are gay as the day is long and nevertheless feel sexually attracted to a woman or two and are nevertheless gay men, full stop. There are gay cis men who are happily married to trans women. There are femme dom tops and butch bottoms and there are mascs afab people who like femme boys. There are non-binary people and trans men who actively identify as lesbians. There are ace and aro people who enjoy thinking about and engaging with sex — sometimes in fiction and sometimes in real life. Queerness, in fiction and in reality, defies neat categorization. That is the beauty, power, and (perceived) unorthodoxy of queerness.

Now, I’ll say this — do I think the straight men behind Black Sails were actively thinking deeply and insightfully about the paradoxes and fuckery of queer identity when they wrote Black Sails? No! By their own admission, Steinberg and Levine have owned up to the fact that some of the writing of the show was really hinged on their own blind spots as people who are not (to my knowledge) members of the queer community. If I want to be generous, I think that the beautiful mess of Black Sails is that, in not feeling like experts enough to designate specific identity labels to any of their characters, the writers stumbled their way into more authentic representation of lived queer experience, which is to say that the notion that James Flint was actively thinking of himself as a gay man was anachronistic. As many lesbian archivists and theories have noted, the notion of a queer identity — as in, queerness is who you are, not what you do — was patently unthinkable for most cultures in the past. In other words, the idea that Anne Bonny operates in the eighteenth century as a lesbian and thus would not willingly engage in relationships with men is not only untrue of the series, but untrue of most recorded lesbian experiences in the real world. The notion that a lesbian would operate her entire life without engaging sexually or romantically with men, for instance, is a very new privilege that some of us are very lucky to enjoy, but it is not true for the vast majority of human history — hell, it’s not even true of our present world.

This is all to say that think that there’s something really funny about how we want queer characters to fit into neatly organized boxes. This isn’t a new problem, either. When the show was still airing, the BS fandom would get itself into tizzies about wether or not Flint is gay or bisexual, wether or not Anne Bonny is a lesbian, wether or not Silver is queer when his only canonical relationship is with Madi, etc etc. We’ve been having these discourses for years and I don’t know. I get that much of it is fueled by how badly some people want to see themselves represented in media, but . . . well. The siloing of queer characters and queer narratives into neat little boxes has never felt very authentic to me and nine times out of ten, it’s also just so damn boring.
