#blame men for the things they do

[summercoldd]

Women don't get raped, it's the MEN THAT RAPE THEM

Female infants don't die, IT'S THE MEN THAT KILL THEM

Teen girls don't get pregnant, IT'S THE MEN THAT GET THEM PREGNANT

Women don't get harassed, MEN HARASS THEM

Women aren't catcalled, MEN CATCALL THEM

Violence doesn't happen to women, MEN DO THE VIOLENCE

MEN AREN'T UNNAMED ENTITIES. NAME THEM! DON'T LEAVE THEM UNKNOWN!

It's "men raping women" not "women getting raped"

It's "men using women for sex" not "women being whores"

It's "men avoiding responsibility" not "she got herself pregnant"

what the fuck. why is it everyone's reaction to scream at girls baking cute pies for getting Trump into office. this seems so ironically counterproductive and blatantly misogynistic

honestly I feel like it's because striking out at something you can see is easier than admitting that ideologies are slippery, often invisible things

everyone would love to have a code for ferreting out trad types, a visual signifier you can spot beyond an actual, overt insignia or slogan (which most of them, especially women, don't wear). and a way to signal to others, without fail, that they are Not Like That. it's comforting to say "don't wear this or do this, and avoid anyone who does, and you will be Safe and signal to others their safety around you"

but the real world just. doesn't work like that. you cannot tell someone's politics from their aesthetic, with very few exceptions. and all that "avoid XYZ because that's trad!!!!" leads to is alienating people in your community who do the thing you've decided to demonize, and making yourself miserable if you want to do those things or wear those clothes

idk why House of M is known as THE Wanda event. she's at the core of it but she's barely a main character. She's the catalyst of it all but she's the main character as much as Tarkin or The Emperor are main character of A New Hope (i'm not comparing her to Tarkin or Palpatine i'm comparing her role). It's important to her character (whether good for it or not), but it's not her story. It's a Wolverine and Emma Frost and Layla Miller story. it's barely a Magneto family story. Why is it regarded as a Wanda story? Why did Elizabeth Olsen and MCU fans want to put it into an MCU movie? tf

Also, you know WHAT I never talked about?

They let a woman with cancer take the fall for a badly photoshopped picture?

They let a woman who was just diagnosed with cancer take the fall for a picture they could have easily just lied about?

honestly i think my only beef w mouthwashing and why it didnt hit for me is i was bored by the fixation on jimmy and curly. its a game abt anyas assault but shes barely in the game at all. her trauma is a prop to explore these male chracters complex relationship which i get yes is to illustrate how people enable harm doers and abusers but like. i dont rlly care that curly enabled jimmy bc he liked him and they were BFFsFL u kno like. their story was boring. anya didnt feel like a person and ahe didnt feel nearly as fleshed out as the others. i kept forgetting her name and calling her shelly duvall but a lot of her story happens off screen. which isnt to say i wanted her assault on screen its more to say why isnt she anything outside of her trauma? shes not nearly as humanized or fleshed out as the others and we r fixated on the abuser and whats going thru his mind and how the other men enabled him to go as far as he did. i think that we couldve even had a meaningful narrative about that while still treating anya like a human and still letting her be more of a character and less of a prop to talk abt sexual assault. am i making sense???

I may end having to watch Interview With The Vampire against my will and better judgement, because I just love mess, and BOY does it seem like it's just about messy, toxic, shitty gays, which is the representation i crave

is this outfit historically accurate? probably the fuck not. is it practical in any way shape or form? also probably not! but does it serve cunt? YES 😩🙏💅 and that's all that matters!

What makes no sense about Andrew killing Tilda is the fact the he must have known that after her death, him and Aaron would probably end up in the foster care system, which would go against everything Andrew ever tried to achieve for Aaron. After everything he’s done to protect Aaron from everything that happened to him it would make no sense for him to change an abusive mother (what is bad enough as it is dont get me wrong) for sexually abusive foster families he went though. And while yes, there was a possibility that Luther and Maria would adopt them and take care of them, that option is bullshit too since Andrew knows too much how big of a piece of shit Luther is, so he also wouldnt let a man he didnt trust take care of Aaron too, mostly since he couldnt even know if he would even survive the car crash to be able to protect him. That takes me to a conclusion, that the only way Tilda’s death could work out for them and actually fix things instead of making them even worse was to make sure that Nicky, the only family member that wasn’t a danger in Andrew’s eyes, would take care of Aaron (and possibly Andrew too). So i suppose that before the whole accident happened, he talked to Nicky about the whole “would you take care of my brother” thing in a “what if” way, and that Nicky actually did know about the coming of Tilda’s death before it happened, even if he never realised it.

roleplay idea: barton's trying to say this BS that he's 'good at processing grief' when your muse was a witness to the absolute rage-filled and deranged rampage that barton went on after julien was killed by the joker in which he brutally hurt all but one of his henchmen (he killed the last one because he told him he was 'crazy' and that he 'better kill him, or he was going to tell his boss that barton had been there' and he literally just snapped, went 'you know what, i think i will kill you AND also let the joker know i killed you so he knows to never come near my family again' then killed him. like HUHHH?) at the time with your muse being like this

"women need to stop being so aggressive and start being more kind and soft spoken and then men won't hurt them" cannot be the progressive take you all think it is.

so many young women recently desiring to be stay at home mothers….the ironic part of it is that all of those women that do become stay at home moms will one day understand why the women before them fought so hard for them to not have to fulfill that role at the point at which they realize that their personhood has been entirely sacrificed in the name of motherhood & there is no going back on that. all women who are stay at home moms are forced to put themselves aside to take care of their children and husband & are forced to make that their entire identity & that is exhausting and dehumanizing. that is how betty friedan started second wave feminism w the feminine mystique. bc women finally realized that all women hated being housewives & there wasn’t smth wrong w each of them individually as they had all believed. but those that do not learn history etc etc……

i just remembered today because it's been a while since i've thought about it, but barton meeting auriel through salsa dance classes means that this man TOTALLY knows how to at least semi-decentally salsa. because i mean, barton wouldn't just stop at one class, and he'd been doing it even before he met her back then. so like... not to pressure anyone into doing a roleplay like this with me, OFC, but also — who's up for making their muse dance with barton?🕺 LOLLL

Once again tempted to start asking people to site their sources for their characterization. Especially of Eddie but in general
