I really hope all women who still buy into the trans nonsense wake up.
Trans people hate feminism. Trans people hate women. By definition.

It's ridiculous that in fiction, women are criticized for being angry and bitter and brutal and exhibiting typical masculine traits that would be praised in a man (cough Nesta cough), but they'll also criticize a woman for being gentle and refined and emotionally balanced and exhibiting typical feminine traits by calling them "useless" with "no personality" (cough Elain cough). Reflective of how women are treated in real life. Called selfish for wanting a full time job while also called useless when they choose to stay at home and look after the house. Women can't win here. #patriarchy

Excerpt from Dr Charlotte Proudman’s article via the Independent “Being a radical feminist means being a trans ally at the same time”

“I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest” (Rev. 6 ; 1-8 NIV)
“And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.”
Conquest / War / Famine / Death

Started watching the Musketeers (2014, on Prime) recently bc I had a lot of free time on a roadtrip across the US. I wasn't sure if I was gonna like it- I love it period-pieces/historical stuff, but I tend to unintentionally have a specific taste in stuff that I'll continue watching on my own time.
But I am not exaggerating when I say that I don't have the words to convey just how much I absolutely love the show.
I'll probably bullet-list my favourite bits about it some other day, but I'm watching season 1 again, and I thought i should share my favourite line from the show.
Context: a woman (Comtesse) who advocates for women's education is being put on trial bc 17th France has a toxic patriarchy, but it particularly stems from the King's advisor (played by Peter Capaldi- I know! : D ) in this show. The Queen of France comes in right as the woman is sentenced to death for "being a witch and consorting with the devil", and essentially pardons her.
Comtesse stands to leave the court, and looks the king's advisor directly in the eye.
Comtesse: I have never consorted with the Devil unti this moment. I am looking at him.
And then- completely outside of Comtesse, the king's advisor starts choking on poison lol

"Never in history has violence been initiated by the oppressed. How could they be the initiators, if they themselves are the result of violence? How could they be the sponsors fo something whose objective inauguration called forth their existence as oppressed? There would be no oppressed had there been no prior situation of violence to establish their subjugation." - Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed.

Just watched Barbie. No wonder conservative men are mad about it. It's hard for them to be in a woman's shoes for 2 hours. Even if they're Birkenstock.

Imagine being today years old and finding out "Who Let the Dogs Out" is about women responding to being catcalled and pressured at parties.
Honestly, we should bring back saying "Who Let the Dogs out" in response to men being gross.

Bible verses for people struggling with the Patriarchy/Theocracy #3:
Context: this verse comes during a discussion about divorce, where Jesus just said that although Moses gave instructions for divorce, it *really* isn’t supposed to be a thing (barring sexual immorality — although do note that the maternal bloodline of the messiah includes Tamar, who fucked her husband’s dad as a prostitute) in response to a group of Torah teachers trying to trap him.
This is what he says immediately afterward:
“The talmidim [Jewish term for disciples] said to [Jesus], ‘If that is how things are between husband and wife, it would be better not to marry!’ He said to them, ‘Not everyone grasps this teaching, only those for whom it is meant. For there are different reasons why men do not marry — some because they were born without the desire, some because they have been castrated, and some because they have renounced marriage for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Whoever can grasp this, let him do so.” - Matthew 19:10-12.
Moral: Asexuality and/or Aromantic people are explicitly biblical.

"It was always the same story, she thought tiredly. Just small, angry men, clinging to fading power. They feared living without privilege because they'd abused it against others, and were now terrified of suffering the same cruelty they'd routinely dealt out."

I can't believe I have to make a PSA about this
Istg EVERY woman who takes charge of her romantic life, sexuality, or even acts any way (even for herself) is slapped with a "pick-me" label. It pisses me off to no fucking end.
So let's get this straight.
Pick me = puts down other women, femininity, or feminism to her benefit in order to be called "one of the good ones" and validated by men. She disassociates herself from other women and femininity for the sole purpose of men liking her. Pick-me girls are misogynistic.
Not pick me = LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE.
This world just hates women who takes the reigns in her life. If she advises men or tells them what to do (you know, like a boss or manager in a workplace), she's a "bitch". If she flirts with guys, she's a "pick-me" or a "slut".
You can't see it, but I'm exploding the world with my brain right now.
