I remember back when you weren't a degenerate. Still waiting for you to grow out of this phase, Tumblr made you sick. They rotted your mind. You're strong though you'll eventually come out better.

I'm actually rarely on here anymore, and have experienced much more than you could imagine. I've realized my old, socially awkward, anti-feminist, tumblr-obsessed self was actually really naive and dependent. Thanks though.

I've been pretty amused lately about Hillary's "feminist" supporters running her name into the ground, but this article is a special kind of stupid. Her accusations that women are "ungrateful" (because that doesn't sound like something a man would tell me) and that we don't think a woman at the top could change anything are pretty fucking baseless. She goes on with trying to downplay Hillary's vote for the Iraq War, something that affects innocent women and children. She refers to gay marriage support as a "bandwagon" Hillary was "late hopping on," ignoring the fact that that kept many of the women she claims to fight for unable to have a full life together. Then she claims Hillary's worst mistake is being "in the public eye for far too long." The only mistake about being in the public eye too long is being a corrupt, piece of shit politician. Lastly, and I'm sure this was the entire reason for this article and her entire reason for voting with her vagina, she brings up the wage gap, the existence of which is questionable and still only one single political issue, and she isn't the only advocate to fixing it. The first woman president shouldn't be constantly waving around her womanhood, that's not what this is about. The first woman president shouldn't be exactly like every warmongering and greedy male president we've had. The only change Hillary has to offer is her genitals, and there's a lot more to being a woman than that. I feel like this article spit in my face honestly. It's disgusting.

“Usually adult males who are unable to make emotional connections with the women they choose to be intimate with are frozen in time, unable to allow themselves to love for fear that the loved one will abandon them. If the first woman they passionately loved, the mother, was not true to her bond of love, then how can they trust that their partner will be true to love. Often in their adult relationships these men act out again and again to test their partner’s love. While the rejected adolescent boy imagines that he can no longer receive his mother’s love because he is not worthy, as a grown man he may act out in ways that are unworthy and yet demand of the woman in his life that she offer him unconditional love. This testing does not heal the wound of the past, it merely reenacts it, for ultimately the woman will become weary of being tested and end the relationship, thus reenacting the abandonment. This drama confirms for many men that they cannot put their trust in love. They decide that it is better to put their faith in being powerful, in being dominant.”

"Since the worldwide sweep of the patriarchal religions, the Goddess has had no dynamic agent who was totally devoted to restoring her to her rightful place in the celestial hierarchy. Even the powerful churchmen who have adored the Virgin Mary have been restricted by their superiors from taking that crucial step which would insure her acceptance as the ancient Goddess who dwells both within and without each of us. An overwhelmingly male-dominated Earth has kept her in what men regard as a woman's place; subservience has been her role. The same forces that have kept human females from equality in the world have denied the powerful archetype of the Great Mother emergence and transfiguration as a deity at least as important as the male God. Thus we remain one-sided in our religious, as well as in our personal development. And the war of the sexes is just another of the wars leading us ever closer to total disaster. No petulant, punishing, or masochistic single male God will answer our pressing needs today. Man was permitted to evolve on this earth in order to prove his right to participate in the cosmic plan. He was granted a part of the Universal Mind, and the ability to conceptualize guiding deities to help him through this life and the next. The domains of the solar God and the lunar Goddess adjoin one another."

“Churches that devalue women are contributing to the breakdown of religious faith in this country at large. If you tell a young girl that her voice doesn’t count in the house of God, why would she want to go there? If you tell a woman she can’t lead a congregation when her gift is public speaking, how could she believe that she has a purpose with that deity? And if a religious leader tells a man that he’s supposed to control his wife by being the “head of the household,” how can you be surprised when that same wife begins to resent her secondary place?”

Have you made it out of puberty yet? Because you argue like an angsty teenager. You seem to completely ignore what other people say so you can go off a rant. 'I don't trust anyone that tells me what to do' is such a pathetic thing to say. It's called advice because funnily enough sometimes people might know more than you do about something and would like to inform you about it or even help you! People like you are the reason left wingers aren't taken seriously.

I’m having trouble taking this seriously considering the fact that I’m 25 and I’m not a “left winger.” Thanks for giving this drunk ass bitch a good laugh.

Also you completely ignored the original anons point of saying that not all police in every country are pigs. Because, guess what? Other countries besides America do exist. Don't call out people in other countries that you know fuck all about.

I didn’t say anything about wherever anon is from. Actually they assumed more than I did because I never said anything about other countries. I post about what I see in my culture and society, no one else’s. I don’t really feel the need to clarify that constantly. I don’t respect anybody that tells me what to fucking do. Fuck that.

Our police don’t protect us. That’s just an illusion. They ruin lives.

‘There’s no such thing as a good cop’ is such bullshit. By your reasoning, you live (and presumably contribute to) in a shitty corrupt country, so you're also a bad guy. Yeah tbh American ‘cops’ are much worse than in my country but I’m 100% sure there are still good ones. You justify saying they’re all bad by saying the system they work for is fucked up. So how do you change a system? From within. There are good policemen, many of them, who’s priority is protecting you.

How would you know what I contribute to? My anarchism goes deep as fuck. You know nothing about my life. If you have some specific insight on who you think I am I’d like to hear it, but at the moment it just looks like you want to come to my inbox to bitch about a post that honestly isn’t that fucking surprising to see considering I’ve been anti-cop for several years now. I don’t believe in changing the system from within. I believe in cutting it off at the root.

Police aren't pigs. Please don't say that. I can't comment on america obvs, but in the uk police are so so important and I imagine they hold their importance in the uk just as much. Don't let a few nasty fucking examples ruin law enforcers.

Any cop who has arrested innocent people for victimless crimes is a pig. They all work for a system that allows them or their fellow officers to get away with harassing, raping, beating, and killing people. It’s that simple. There’s no such thing as a good cop.

Don’t follow an anarchist’s blog and be shocked when she posts about being anti-cop. It’s not the first time and it definitely won’t be the last.

This was almost good, but how about we don’t dress our kids up to emulate pigs either? Especially considering the fact that pigs are statistically a bigger threat to women than the general population.

Just a thought.
