Do not befriend men:

This man spells it out clear as day. A woman is a good friend because you might get to fuck her, and if you can’t, she may have hot friends you can fuck. If that’s not a possibility, at least the woman will act as your free therapist and do the emotional labour men won’t do.

All men want to do is use women. They admit it very clearly when you actually listen to them.

The article also details that men aren't abusive because they were abused as kids the driving force for abuse towards women is the behaviour is beneficial to them and they don't respect that woman or women in general

Men can have vaginas, and women can have penises, right? So there's absolutely no point to those categories, let's just get rid of them.

We do know however, that the penis bearers tend to be more violent, criminal, and violently criminal than vagina havers though.

So let's just split things up along those lines: Some spaces for vagina havers only, some for penis carriers.

Vagina haver and penis carrier are a bit of a mouthful though, so how about we invent a short and snappy word for each. I propose 'woman' for vagina haver, and 'man' for penis carrier.

I maintain that the best summation of my feminist beliefs are that men and women are not fundamentally different. There are a few quantifiable differences if you average out every woman and every man, but they are not qualitative. And most of them are socially constructed, and would be fixed if we started treating men and women the same. Neither is inherently smarter, neither is inherently kinder, neither is inherently more stoic or stronger or angrier or softer. Everyone is obsessed with the differences between women and men, with finding them and creating them and distancing themselves from the "other half". It's fucked up

[unrespectability]

could've been an incredibly epic post however please consider feminism is not exclusively concerned with personality differences & when women want distance from men that is often motivated by the question of survival; because the way those differences are societally constructed and then acted upon does not terminate at the surface level and is in fact paid for with women's blood. you would probably never say this about any other oppressed group seeking space and distance from the oppressor, so that's something to explore and ask yourself why you think it is "capricious" of women to wish to do something generally permissable in greater leftist discourse

even if you look at the male loneliness epidemic barring the most heinous traits, beliefs, attitudes, and actions of many boys and men that contribute heavily to their loneliness and isolation, at the core of it is the entitlement to women's labor, emotions, and bodies. the quietest, relatively harmless man still thinks he is owed a women's body for sex and to bear his children and is completely fine with the harm that pregnancy does to a woman's body. even if we did some kind of matching system to pair lonely men and women, men wouldn't be okay being matched with ugly women or women who don't want to have sex because you guessed it: they aren't really that lonely.

“Porn Has Completely Destroyed Me There was a time - I’d say pre 1999 - when I would have tolerated a girl with an errant fat roll, a mildly problematic ass, or even non-porcelain veneered teeth. And come to think of it, I might have even green lighted a B cup chest. But with the installation of the high speed cable modem, alas, I am sad to say that those times have now passed. I now only want - and will only solicit affection from - girls with killer porn star looks and behavior. I am ashamed and I do not like what now stimulates me, but the Internet, with all of its quick fix, crack-like vices, has made me extraordinarily intolerant. Are you a Tufts or Harvard grad and a great conversationalist? Not important. Do you have a quirky sense of humor and a knack for cooking Asian Fusion cuisine? Don’t care. Would you like to discuss the sub-text meaning of the whip sawed brush strokes of that Kandinsky painting at the MFA? Fuck off. Be the source of a blood rush and make me throw a rod in my pants or kindly turn into anti-matter. I am ruined. I am dead on the inside. I am ashamed and embarrassed of what now stimulates me and I know that I am irrevocably changed for the worse. For all practical purposes, Internet porn has destroyed me. So who am I? Not who you’d think. Not the dandruff-haired blob of shit in the cube next to you. Not the UES Michigan frat boy. Not the faux disheveled Downtown hipster with the silly retro Puma sneakers. Sadly, I am the “normal” one that you’re actually interested in. Cultured, eloquent, well dressed. I am the one you discuss with your girlfriends over Sunday brunch. I am the one you hope to bump into at Karen’s pajama themed apartment party. I am the one who takes the lead, holds doors, and hails cabs. Shit. Do you dream of a man who will “love you just for you?” Do believe that you have peripheral, intangible qualities that men of substance will key upon and gravitate to? Do you shun the gym in favor of The Apprentice and a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Chunkey Monkey, thinking that your black cigarette pants will sufficiently mask any belly spillage or ass expansion? Then forget it. It’s game over. You’re a walking, talking non-compete clause and you’re going to end up alone with a slobbering oversized Rotweiller named Chuckles. Pull your head out of your ass and be advised - porn viewing/obsession is spreading like the plague amongst my gender - upping the already unrealistic physical expectations, pushing boundaries in the bedroom (you’re down with anal, right?), and providing instant, customize-able sexual highs with the push of a button. If you’re female and you don’t posess prodigal, Einsteinian caliber intelligence that would propel the cause of humanity forward, and, if you don’t relish the idea of being alone, then … … throw every last dollar you have at your physical appearance. I’m serious. Personal trainer. Porcelain veneers. High-end boob job. Get scared and get it done. Do not extend my gender any credit. Do not hope that a guy will be in awe of your cello playing, your VP title, or your cute apartment. I promise you he won’t care. Don’t kid yourself into thinking he will. Men are programmed to respond to the visual. Look good or you’re alone.”

if you don’t relish the idea of being alone

The fact that men could be this despicable but still think their company is preferable to being alone. He literally just said he’s full of nothing but degenerate lust and values nothing except what will make his dick hard. This was very well written, though-props to him for that.

You know how it feels when you first read that men in Afghanistan aren't allowed to treat women, and there aren't enough female doctors to treat other women, and that endometriosis isn't fully understood even though it's a very common disease among women, and then you go on Tumblr and people are laughing at the author for using "female biology" in a post and calling it dogwhistle

As a kid, I was accustomed to seeing people posit that women are naturally submissive; secondary; emotional; docile; etc. I grew up tradcath homeschooled, and was rather relieved to leave those circles.

As an adult, I have lately been accustomed to seeing more people posit that women are naturally submissive; secondary; emotional; and docile. Instead of using religious rationale, they cite “ovulation” and “evopsych” and “ testosterone levels.” I am kind of alarmed to see this same sentiment (fetish) — rationalized from a different angle — in secular circles.

It’s curious. You don’t have to encourage a dog to bark. They just do that shit. No matter how much you insist a dog shuts up, short of surgery, they are gonna bark.

If women were naturally submissive; secondary; emotional; docile; and absent the mental clarity of males, society wouldnt need such robust diverse systems insisting on our silence. These systems are massive and well-funded and scrambling really really hard to make their fetishes reality. They are attempting to enable this specific outcome, yet regardless of time, location, and power structure: another persists.

The insistence that female autonomy is not organic convinces me more than ever in the artificiality of male control. Instinct doesn’t discourse; it just does. Only those constructing a hierarchy have to sweat so much over prolonging it.

Stone Age women were buried with as many tools as men

Prehistoric graves show women wielded more than early archeologists gave them credit for.

"Some 6,000 years ago in the northern reaches of modern Latvia, a young woman died. Afterwards, a group of early humans buried her in an ancient, sacred place along a lakeshore. They carefully lowered her small teenage frame into the ground, gently placing a stone ax, 28 flint flakes, 15 blades, and a stone scraper beside her. Stained with ochre, the stone implements were part of her last rites. This young woman remained there thousands of years, until, when archaeologists discovered her along with more than 300 others in the 20th century. The site, known as Zvejnieki cemetery, is one of Europe’s largest Stone Age cemeteries.

Research conducted at Zvejnieki has often challenged longheld assumptions about gender roles in prehistoric Europe. For instance, the young woman interred in burial 211 described above is one of several women and children buried with stone axes at the site, upending the notion that axes only belonged to Stone Age men. Now, a new study published September 10 in the journal PLOS One again upends gender stereotypes, demonstrating that women and children were just as likely to be buried with stone tools as men. The woman in burial 211 alone was laid to rest with a staggering 45 different stone objects. 

(...)

This flies in the face of a decades-old stereotype that Stone Age women didn’t use stone tools as frequently as men. The women were too busy cooking, crafting, and caring for the family to bother with the stone tools used by men in hunting and building. Or so the outdated story went.

“Our findings overturn the old stereotype of ‘Man the Hunter,’”  Little said in a statement. Historically, this stereotype “has been a dominant theme in Stone Age studies, and has even influenced, on occasion, how some infants have even been sexed, on the basis that they were given lithic tools.”

Study co-author Dr. Anđa Petrović of the University of Belgrade echoes Little: “This research demonstrates that we cannot make these gendered assumptions and that lithic grave goods played an important role in the mourning rituals of children and women, as well as men.”"
