I THINK LOVE IS SOMETHING / THAT HAPPENS TO OTHER PEOPLE - Michael Gray Bulla

[plaguedocboi]

I feel like starfish are one of those animals that are treated as very “normal” by people but absolutely shouldn’t be. Like they’re a wheel of repeating heads connected by a central stomach. They walk around using thousands of tiny sticky hydraulically powered tentacles. They have an eye on the end of each arm. Instead of having a mouth they just have an opening where their entire stomach can be pushed out to engulf prey. And they’re just allowed to exist like this. It’s not illegal or anything.

I keep on seeing this one post floating around talking about how becoming a radfem made them miserable and I wanna be nice but... take the L ladies. Life's so much better when I can put a name to misogyny. Or cutting ties with porn supporting male friends. I'm more will I need to call out things that make me uncomfortable, I'm actually excersising(mostly because the prospect of endometriosis has put the fear of god into me), I'm generally more extroverted... I'd need a control group to prove my theory but being able to call out misogyny just makes everything in life better. The only thing I've lost from being outspokenely a radical feminist is one or two male friends and like... is that even a great lost? Feeling worse just seems like a skill issue here.

A lot of “omg I’m miserable as a radfem” people have outrage and doomer addiction issues (that just so happen to be radfem flavored). Which is solved by. Logging off and perhaps following less freaks

[radfemme-rage]

hard disagree. being acutely aware of the sheer level of misogyny present in every single interaction you’ve experienced for years on end is fucking torment on a psychological level, it’s traumatising and it’s shit — ignorance is bliss

obviously you take the steps you can in your own life to live in a more radfem/separatist-aligned way, you try and educate your friends here and there, but the harsh reality is that feminist progress will be slow overall — in our lifetime, we won’t see rape eradicated, we won’t see porn eradicated, we’ll see some women gain more rights but we’ll see other women lose rights (i.e. afghanistan)

overall, there’s an upward trajectory, but even level 1 feminism (religion/porn/make up/shaving etc. isn’t feminism) isn’t the status quo… even among feminists themselves (shout out libfem)

it’s great we can put a name to the misogyny but… women have been able to put a name to misogyny for centuries… this hasn’t made anyone less depressed

peaking as a radfem is absolutely psychologically tormenting and isolating and horrific, which is in part the reason why online communities like radblr exist — so that you don’t feel entirely insane or alone as a woman who’s aware of the sheer level of violence we still face on a daily basis

[radfemme-rage]

it’s like your two main options as a woman is: employ cognitive dissonance so you don’t have to constantly think about patriarchy (and live an non-liberated life as a result), OR be acutely aware of… well… everything… and you can liberate yourself from these structures but you live in constant agony because 99.9% of women i love and care about will never be truly liberated

There's a woman on Tiktok who runs a cooking channel, but it's all "I'll cook for your man if you don't", "Your man wants me because I cook better", ect. So you'd think these dudes would love her, right?

They don't. Weirdly, the comments from dudes are really shitty. Telling her whatever she cooked isn't good enough, telling her to cook more next time, tactless criticism "Meh, more meat next time. Easy on the cheese. And get my beer."

It really shows that trying to cater to men only makes them lose all respect for you. They see tradwives and submissive women as defeated things, conquered enemies to be mocked and degraded.

Those women will never receive a thank you, and the men will instantly drop all fake decency and speak in the most demanding way, barking orders happily.

Tradwives actually do us all a favor by making men drop the mask, and revealing how nasty and cruel they turn towards women who serve them and please them.

You'll be like I think people who are violently misogynistic should die and some fucking loser on here stands up and says "so you think the state should be able to execute whoever it wants? You want the state to be able to kill people? You want the state to have more power? Or do you want The Masses to engage in Jungle Justice. How can you even tell if someone is a rapist. Check mate fash."

not to sound like a medieval peasant but, cheese and bread. garlic and butter. a menagerie of spices. potatoes. that’s what life is all about right there.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

the meaning of life? is to make your bedroom as comfy as possible. that's it that's the purpose

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

the secondary purpose is to equip your kitchen and get really really really into international cuisine

I told my little nephew that I'd wave at his airplane when it flew over my house today, and he very calmly and politely explained that it wouldn't be possible to see me due to the limitations of human vision. I said he just had to squint real hard, and he took a deep breath and went into the toddler version of "see, what you're not understanding–"
