“Ghosts are real” I can see how you could believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real” it’s very fair and rational that you believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real anymore” I’m about to hear a poem or very sad story

“Ghosts aren’t real yet” the fuck are you going to do

[elvisactshually]

people on this site will say "kill trans people" and be surprised that they are being called a transphobe

[unimpressiveboyfriend]

?????? no??? i happen to know this from personal experience but in what universe does this make any logical sense

[quastions-i-dont-ask-on-main]

People say "intersectionality was bastardized to talk about how men are affected" about trans men because "the original isn't about that because it's about how women with other identities are treated" but like. Intersectionality was coined because black women thought feminism was too white and there was not enough thought into how being a black women affected that and the specific ways that being a black women was punished by society, because the original feminist theory only considered white women, so they were expanding on that. Saying "trans men are oppressed because they're men" isn't bastardizing intersectionality because it's literally about how you cannot untie transmascs' manhood from their transness and the same way femininity is different in black women, transmascs' masculinity is different from cis men and they're affected by things cis men aren't affected and things cis women aren't affected by and they're affected by misogyny in different ways than cis women are and in ways that heavily mix with transphobia that's. Like. Textbook intersectionality. Because you cannot untangle the trans from the man the same way you cannot untangle the black from woman and put both in neat boxes.

Plus I've seen a lot of TERFs use the exact same principle on why feminism isn't for trans women. They used to say that feminism wasn't for trans women because they were raised as men therefore they didn't have the forming experiences to have a stake at feminism and not they're saying trans men can't talk about intersectionality because the original was about (ignoring black people) women. Those same people saying trans men can't use intersectionality totally ignore that the term was firstly coined by black women and they'll say well since it's for women, of course (white) trans women can apply that. And that's hm. Not good y'all.

If you agree that intersectionality can be expanded to white trans women because even though they're white they have different experiences than white cis women but deny the expansion for trans men idk what to tell you.

The problem with making jokes to the effect of "kill all men" or "press this button to blow up all TMEs" isn't that some men are actually good, or that it includes trans men and pre-egg crack trans women too. Obviously some men are good and some men are bad; there are four billion or so men in the world

The problem is that making jokes about a thing gradually desensitizes you to it, and eventually you start believing it unironically. That's why people rail on Dave Chappelle for his "comedy" and why making Holocaust jokes is a gateway to genuine Holocaust denial. Jokes reflect what you believe is and isn't to be taken seriously.

Of course, we couldn't literally kill all men, but the joke is built on the idea that punitive measures are preferable to rehabilitation, which is a cornerstone of fascist and fascist-adjacent idealogies. Once you start dehumanizing a whole group of people and calling them degenerates in some way, you open the door to corrupting your feminism with racism, classism, ableism/eugenics, exorsexism, etc. Saying "kill all men" the same way neo-Nazis say "gas the Jews" doesn't help anybody.

So instead of telling men to kill themselves, offer to educate them in feminism and help them be kinder and more empathetic.

"masculinity is always rewarded" is one of the MOST white takes i have ever heard on this site and that is saying something.

[naga-noia]

Is it actually internalized misogyny or is it just a resentment/aversion born from a lifetime of being forced into a suffocating box of femininity and womanhood. Or hell is it literally just someone saying “I’m not sure if I like being a girl very much”

next time you want to snark at a transmasc/trans man please ask yourself this question, because those things are not one and the same, and need to stop being treated as if they are

[unclegrimsley]

people on here will identify as "misandrists" and then turns out they're just transphobic and misogynistic to trans men. Okay

[yourlocalbadgerscales]

"of course i think trans men are men and face a unique type of oppression, i just don't think the term 'transandrophobia' is very fitting because it implies that men are oppressed" < said in the voice of someone who automatically thinks of white pericishetallo upper class able-bodied men whenever men are mentioned and doesn't want to confront that part of their belief system.

i think censoring subtitles is actually ableism

It feels like a convoluted form of infantilization of disabled people. Oh, I can watch a horror movie but can't read the word fuck? I can watch R-rated films, but I can't read the word shit?

It's one of two things:

1. It's deliberate infantilization of disabled people.

or 2. The puritanical impulses of American society are SO Fucking Off the Goddamn Walls at this point that most able bodied people can't recognize the cognitive dissonance of a film saying fuck but not letting the same exact adult audience read the word fuck.

it's probably both. But fuck, dude.

[redstonedust]

[finalgirlianthe]

it's scary the amount of people who wholeheartedly believe that men and women are fundamentally different creatures

[spankerella]

I think we all should.

"only 90s kids remember-" wrong, if you're poor and/or rural enough, old tech and fashion doesn't just disappear when it stops being trendy. We had dial-up until 2012
