squid game is a good example of how consent doesn’t excuse some things. do u think the ppl watching that show r going “but they signed consent forms! they signed up 4 the money!” NO they r going “wow that is so messed up whoever is orchestrating this is fucked in the head” !!!!!!!
And speaking of Sophia Tolstoy, her diaries are just so depressing.
“I am to gratify his pleasure and nurse his child, I am a piece of household furniture, I am a woman. I try to suppress all human feelings. When the machine is working properly it heats the milk, knits a blanket, makes little requests and bustles about trying not to think […].“
She wrote this when she was 19, one year into her marriage to Leo and as she was pregnant with the first of his 13 children.
A few years later, when she was 25 or so:
“I am so often alone with my thoughts that the need to write in my diary comes quite naturally … Now I am well again and not pregnant—it terrifies me how often I have been in that condition. He said that for him being young meant “I can achieve anything”. For me […] reason tells me that there is nothing I either want or can do beyond nursing, eating, drinking, sleeping, and loving and caring for my husband and babies, all of which I know is happiness of a kind, but why do I feel so woeful all the time, and weep as I did yesterday? I am writing this now with the pleasantly exciting sense that nobody will ever read it, so I can be quite frank with myself […].“
During her 12th pregnancy she wrote about taking scalding baths and jumping from high pieces of furniture to try and miscarry. And at one point while reading her husband’s diary (which he told her to read) she found the sentence “There is no such thing as love, only the physical need for intercourse and the practical need for a life companion.” In her own diary she wrote “They ebb and flow like waves, these times when I realise how lonely I am and want only to cry…”
A few years before her husband’s death, she published a cycle of prose poems titled “Groans”, under the pseudonym “A Tired Woman”.
the most depressing quote from her diaries:
“I have served a genius for almost forty years. Hundreds of times I have felt my intellectual energy stir within me and all sorts of desires - a longing for education, a love of music and the arts… And time and again I have crushed and smothered these longings… Everyone asks, “But why should a worthless woman like you need an intellectual or artistic life?” To this question I can only reply: “I don’t know, but eternally suppressing it to serve a genius is a great misfortune.”
Opinions?
Indigenous people in my country traditionally believed that one of our islands was fished up by Maui. Are y'all gonna go yell at geologists for saying where it really came from? Or is it just feminists y'all are keen to silence?
My dad's culture believed up until quite recently that adopting a child was betraying your own family...should I have told him that I actually didn't want him to adopt me when I was a kid, thanks but no thanks??
Not only is this the Noble Savage stereotype, but every single time they bring up the mysterious “third gender” indigenous beliefs, I research it and find it’s literally always just a derogatory slur for effeminate homosexual males
Seconding the Noble Savage stereotype. It's actually more racist to pretend that all Indigenous people were/are the same.
3rd genders are a symptom of a society with strict male/female gender roles. Those who don't fit into the strict binary (usually gay men) are not being killed and instead presented with a 3rd option... how wonderful! 🙄
I don't know where they got the idea that white men taught non-white men the gender binary. Did they think non-white people aren't sophisticated enough to recognize sexual dimorphism, or what?
FGM is thought to have its origins in Ancient Egypt. The Arab Slave Trade trafficked countless women and children starting in the 9th century. China had *one* empress in over 4,000 years of recorded history. The Mongols were known for killing men and raping women as they expanded their empire. Sati (widow burning) had to be banned by the British in India. Countless cultures have taboos against menstruating women, including in India and Nepal (period huts), in orthodox Judaism, and in many native North American tribes. Even more cultures have taboos against women seeing or touching certain objects.
So sex-based oppression has existed worldwide long before the white colonizer spread the so-called 'imperialist gender binary'. Some Indigenous cultures were more patriarchal, and some were more egalitarian. But, indigenous cultures are not a monolith, and they did not need Cracker Von Patriarch to teach them the gender binary.

it’s also not even HIS money, it’s his father’s money, made from apartheid emerald mining. that money was made from the blood and suffering of countless poor people of color so the rich could wear pretty rocks.
elon musk has never done or made anything valuable or worthwhile in his life.

What the sex positive movement should be about:
Women’s pleasure matters and should be seen as important in every sexual relationship involving one
Women shouldn’t be shamed or punished for having sex and liking sex
Women shouldn’t be shamed or punished for not having sex and not liking sex
Lesbian relationships shouldn’t serve as voyeuristic material for men to jerk off to
Women should be seen as full human beings and not just a hole to stick a dick into
Women’s bodies should not be turned into products to sell, sex with women should be seen as human interaction and not a right every man on earth has
What the sex positive ended up being about:
Be a slut!!! It’s ok and encouraged to be a slut!!!
Yes, girl suck that dick!! That’s what I call empowerment!
Let’s pretend Sex work is just women getting money for things they’d do for free lol hell yeah get that money from those men who are paying to rape you queen!!
If you don’t like BDSM you’re sexphobic and you hate all sex!!! Let men abuse women if it makes them orgasm!!! Let women be abused by men if they’ve been brainwashed into thinking abuse is good!!!
Here’s 15 tips on how to be more like that pornstar in that violent porn video your bf likes so much!
People who are against the sex industry are jealous because they’re not hot enough to be strippers!!
If you put any kind of control at all over who’s in porn videos posted online you hate every single sex worker who’s ever existed and you want them to die!!
In summation:
What the sex positive movement should be about: Analysing and fixing the many different ways women are subjugated by men when it comes to sex
What the sex positive movement ended up being about: Changing women's subjugation from "madonna good; whore bad" to "more whore-sex!!! We'll still make up slang to denigrate the women who provide it, though."

Open a book. I beg you. By the way, the USA isn't the only country on earth and not everything you read on the internet is true. The fact that you can type this and think "yes I'm delivering facts" is insane.
They have to be referencing that Stonewall myth, right? But they said in response to "what should feminists not talk about" was "a black trans woman gave them their rights." Idk if this was a typo but I'm not looking forward to the argument shift of "a black trans woman gave lgb people their rights" to "actually a black trans woman gave all women their rights"
As someone in the notes said, the lie gets bigger and bigger every time. It's not a typo, I've seen it come up several times. Black trans women created feminism and gave us our rights, somehow. By the way, did you know that black trans women were the first to land on the moon? Or were you too distracted by the fact that black trans women have just discovered the cure to all cancers? Black trans women died for our sins.

the transition im crying
i'm seeing a lot of new ppl join tumblr who aren't making any spontaneous semi pathetic, oversharing personal textposts whatsoever and i just want to say you're doing it all wrong... this is not like instagram like meant to be some shiny highlight reel used to make u look good its supposed to be an incriminatingly revealing dark intimate look into your life & inner psyche while simultaneously no one knows who u are or gives a fuck... anyway hope this helps some of u get on the right track
This website is elite. This website is the blueprint, it's the pinnacle. There is no website like it. I lwill never leave this website
"BDSM Activism" might just be the dumbest, most unnecessary form of activism there is. Who is oppressing you in your own bedroom? Who's stopping you from watching your porn and reading/writing your fiction? In what society does sexual violence need defending and glorifying? In what society is it unacceptable?
if I may be so real: fetishist transwomen who desire rape/sexual victimization because they see it as integral to womanhood are making an accurate observation that rape is something that overwhelmingly is done to women by men. if their empathy outweighed their desire to get off this would become a sort of feminist consciousness and we could all hold hands. but it doesn’t so we can’t.
