one of my favorite parts about Percy being Obviously Bi™ is he doesn't universally describe one gender as attractive. Like he doesn't just say all girls are cute and guys are just okay or whatever or vice versa. No, he has specific girls he finds pretty and specific guys he finds pretty, and he voices that opinion.

For example - Clarisse? Thalia? Meh. Even Silena, who is canonically very pretty, Percy is relatively neutral on. But Annabeth? Rachel? Calypso? 100%. And based on differences in descriptions like that we can tell when Percy is attracted to somebody versus isn't. He calls everybody else in Beckendorf's cabin ugly and then waxes poetic about how hot Beckendorf is specifically. He'll describe most guys as just "eh" with plain physical descriptors but every time he sees Luke he feels the need to specify that Luke is extremely hot while being very evil and how much he hates Luke's stupid very very pretty face. love that for you Percy. great work.

Propaganda I’m not falling for: “medium-ugly men”, “dad bods”, or the idea that “men are visual creatures” who have a right to be with beautiful women and enjoy intimacy to the fullest, while women are expected to only prioritize a man’s personality, ability to provide, and willingness to endure life/intimacy with him. The notion that physical attraction is something only men are entitled to is one of the most insidious manipulations the patriarchy has pushed onto women. It reduces a universal human desire into a gendered expectation and silences women’s right to want—and choose—based on their own desires.

This mindset is deeply rooted in complementarian worldviews that center male comfort while diminishing female autonomy. Women are constantly judged by our appearance, yet men are allowed to be mediocre in looks, effort, and lifestyle without facing the same scrutiny, all while still feeling entitled to beautiful partners. We’re told that men are “visual creatures,” yet many show no regard for their own appearance, their homes, or the way they present themselves. We’re taught that sex is something men do to women, not something both partners are meant to enjoy and participate in equally.

The result? A world full of beautiful, accomplished women being told they’re “too picky” or “superficial”while mediocre men lament loneliness—usually because the stunning woman they want won’t look their way, even though they ignore women who are their actual peers. And somehow, we’re supposed to feel sorry for them—not for the equally single, equally overlooked woman.

I simply refuse to believe these lies. I like my men handsome. Period.

the interesting thing about playing Date Everything is that an HVAC system is currently speaking to me more lovingly than anyone in real life ever has

Totally weird situation I experience today and I don’t normally talk about anything other than fandom here but -

So I went on a first date and this guy essentially tells me that being a commission tailor is not a career, and is a red flag. I uh, have POTS and so I do freelance, y’know? 9-5 life just can’t happen. I’m happy and am slowly building my street credit in the hopes of being full time someday. I want to design and make my own patterns on top of being a bridal tailor. I don’t have my own car and live in an un-walkable city, but I’m almost at the funds for a motorbike. Which is fine since I just need to get to client homes and around my local area. I don’t live alone since it’s difficult with POTS, but I love my family dearly, and we all work well living together.

And y’know, anyways, I was stunned. Lacked a comeback. Slightly mad at myself for it.

Except at that moment in my brain I just thought “Malleus Draconia would never fucking say this to me” and I know. I know. Malleus isn’t real but that one, singular thought? Yeah. That’s what got me to pay for my meal and go home.

So the moral of this story is that fandom culture is powerful, because somehow my standards have been raised through the TWST fandom. It’s been hours since but it’s just so weird to me that I totally would have sat through the rest of that dinner if i didn’t think about TWST and the absolute self-respect most of these guys have. Like they will talk shit about themselves but the moment someone else does it’s time to throw hands

Yeee screw boundaries ladies these dudes are straight up TRASH, none of them will be good enough for a healthy relationship like, ever, so just ya know, date them anyway? Because you are our product? And if you don't date them they won't pay us :C

[parkerstorms]

this website is all “sexuality is good” “let people be sexy” “we need to resist puritanical thought” “sexiness and sensuality are back” until it’s a 5��0 adult 26-year-old blonde woman who started off as a child star but rebrands when she’s an adult as a 24-year-old adult to be more sexual and sensual and then suddenly she’s dehumanizing herself and infantilizing herself and devaluing herself and shaming herself and shaming women and setting feminism back to the stone ages and is such such a bad role model for young girls and is putting dangerous thoughts in their heads and is using her art to convince them to sexualize themselves and won’t somebody think of the children why is nobody thinking of the children we need to protect them from this evil wicked woman who’s trying to seduce them with her evil perverted body and we need to stone that woman in the village square for reminding all of us in public that sex exists and admitting that she likes it where poor young impressionable girls might hear

P*rn, dating apps/hook up culture, and 50/50 normalization are the three main culprits as to why the men of this generation seem so different than men from previous ones, and why so many beautiful and accomplished women are unable to secure a relationship without settling. Men always had their issues collectively, but it was never to the degree that we see today, and it’s largely due to the normalization from an early age to those three things.

The brains of men these days have been wired in a completely overly s3xualized manner. They don’t view women as people but as objects of strict desire and nothing else. Consumption of p*rn has not only given them unrealistic expectations of intimacy, it has influenced their s3xual orientations (see DL epidemic), and their social behaviour. Nowadays many don’t find regular girls attractive, which is why they choose to engage in “taboo” activities to feel some arousal. This leads them to becoming socially inept and to falling easy prey to manosphere content that only reinforces the objectification and dehumanization of women.

Dating apps then come in as an easy way for these men get the illusion of options, because while they might be generally not attractive, in the apps they get instant access to women they otherwise would never have in real life. And because many women have become desperate, by entertaining these men and giving them easy access to their bodies, the men no longer feel like they have to improve and work on themselves to attract a quality partner. It also gives them the idea that women are disposable because at any point they can ghost them for no reason and then swipe right to get another one. It makes them devalue access to us.

This easy access is then transferred to their expectations of relationships. They abuse the concept of equality to manipulate women into financially abusive arrangements where she’s expected to provide fiscally while also performing her feminine duties and taking care of a grown, able-bodied man. Naturally this continues to reinforce men’s lack of respect and gratitude for women in their lives, while increasing their own sense of self-importance, narcissism, ineptitude, and ungratefulness.

Obviously women are not responsible for the actions of men, but we do have the power to not reinforce and condone their sick ways. By deleting dating apps, standing our ground when we oppose 50/50 dating, and choosing to remain abstinent until marriage, we are taking the power dynamics back to our advantage. No, you are not unreasonable for not wanting to be with a man who consumes p*rn, or who wants to be sexually fluid with other men, or who views red pill content that dehumanizes you, or seems unwilling to provide things for you and cherish you in his life. It’s on you to stand firm in your decision to only entertain the gentlemen whose mindsets haven’t been completely fried by modern societal trends.

The “male loneliness epidemic” that we hear so much about is entirely self inflicted (not that anyone cares when it’s women who are lonely), and it’s a direct response to women saying no more to men who exhibit the behaviours outlined above. Hold the line, because they either leave their toxic ways and get better, or they will doom themselves to a life of solitude. Either way, that is their responsibility to fix, not yours.

Dating a man with money or resources doesn't make you bad.

Women are supposed to choose the winners.

It's literally nature.

Even the female birds in the animal kingdom know better...
