haters do not want you to know this but if you pick up something heavy every day it will eventually stop being quite as heavy. this is because the heavy thing, having witnessed your dedication, begins to yield its essence to you. and you, in turn, begin to absorb that essence into your own being. this is what makes people strong. the more essence you absorb, the stronger you become, and the more respect you command from the world around you.

Postmodernism has people like everything is okay as long as nobody is harmed btw ive changed the definition of harm and the criteria is very high now. And it’s ok to hurt people if they’re damaged enough to want to be hurt. We have no responsibility to not hurt people. But if you say words I personally think are bad that’s literally the worst possible thing one could do and you’re a fascist now. Like people will literally defend incest and then denounce someone as a fascist for using the word “degenerate” we genuinely live in the craziest society possible

“You will find that the priest who damns you is a man; that the legislator who oppresses you is a man, that the husband who reduces you to an object is a man; that the libertine [anarchist] who harasses you is a man; that the capitalist who enriches himself with your ill- paid work and the speculator who calmly pockets the price of your body, are men.”

— Anna Maria Mozzoni, one of the most popular Italian feminist theorists and activists of the nineteenth century, 1895.

why do people think that decriminalizing prostitution and making it just like any other job will lead to like, rich, free, happy, independent, safe, healthy women instead of like… amazon operating brothels as miserable as its warehouses

A sobering picture. History isn’t linear. Those women probably never would have thought that Afghanistan would be what it is culturally for women today. Don’t take women’s rights for granted, they can go quicker and easier than they were won.
