it does suck that the government defunded PBS but it's also so fucking funny that now that they don't take uncle sam's slavery dollars they're running videos like "How america's foundation was built on genocide"
I’ll never get over the fact that in Scooby Doo Mystery Inc, Fred’s (formerly) estranged birth parents both got plastic surgery to look like Fred and (aged up “from the future” Daphne) as part of a bizarrely complicated scheme to trick the mystery gang into giving valuable top secret information to the gang’s main enemy. And then his parents are just stuck looking like that (like an exact copy of their son and an elderly post-apocalyptic version of their son’s girlfriend) until they eventually get consumed by an evil eldritch god.
As a whole this iteration of Scooby Doo is quite dark compared to other iterations, but this particular detail is just… wow??? wtf???
Like… Can we talk about how this is straight up NBC Hannibal character levels of unhingedness happening in recurring antagonists in a fucking Scooby Doo reboot of all things, lmao.
the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.
btw this is maybe the single most key distinguishing feature of the terfy strains of radical feminism, the seed all the rest of it springs out of: they have absolutely no faith in the ability of feminism to actually destroy patriarchy. they do not think feminism can truly build a better world. they cannot really even imagine that possibility. they think patriarchy is an inevitable natural consequence of unchangeable biological facts, and therefore the goal of feminism can only be to mitigate the worst effects of patriarchy, not to get rid of it.
they can imagine a society where women get some designated safe spaces without men around. they cannot imagine a society where the presence of men is not inherently a danger to women.
Autism actually can make people violent and aggressive, and I’m tired of “autism advocates” saying it can’t. Many autistic people, especially higher support needs people lose control of their bodies during meltdowns and times of high emotion. Some autistics have limited control of their bodies at all times. This body brain disconnect is a prevalent associative feature of autism. This is not to say that measures shouldn’t be taken to protect and teach the autistic person and others, but you can’t erase real, but stigmatized parts of a condition, and then dare to call yourself an advocate. Just because a symptom is unpleasant or unpalatable doesn’t mean it’s not a genuine part of the disorder. Stop ‘cleansing’ your autism advocacy.
