look you idiot. women havenât been oppressed for thousands of years via physical things that can be manipulated & exploited like âreproductive capabilityâ . its because they have LADY SOULS. masculine people can smell the lady soul and are mean to them as a result. thanks this concludes my anti-destiny, anti-stability analysis
Trans activists are Very Normal about women with short hair.
Not to be a killjoy (though it is what I do best) but the unsafe and rough handling of a baby Pygmy hippo in a pretty substandard Thai zoo being meme-ed into something funny and cute really shows just how much groupthink plays into public perception of animal welfare.
Moo Deng shows avoidance, threat displays and stress around her keepers that are constantly man-handling her, blasting her with a hose and harassing her. The enclosure is mostly concrete, which is horrible for her soft feet. There looks to be some substrate but there doesnât seem to be any areas for wallowing or deep water wading.
Thereâs also very easy access of this hippo to the public with no places to hide. Iâd love if someone could shed more light on the enclosures but from what Iâve seen itâs not great.
Also the free contact and forcing into tubs that the keepers do is only going to create an avoidant and potentially aggressive and dangerous Pygmy hippo.
But the public happily overlook that because sheâs cute. Itâs a similar attitude with seals too.
Stop rewarding bad husbandry with clout. Baby animals deserve agency and respect and to grow up without getting harassed and feeling the need to defend themselves constantly.
This post is bullshit lol. I went to the Khao Kheow open zoo near Pattaya in July right before the baby hippo was born and the animals there have much better living conditions than zoos I've been to in America. Calling it a "substandard" zoo is crazy because it's genuinely massive, which is pretty impressive considering a lot of infrastructure in the Pattaya and Bangkok area are a bit run down and low on funds. (for the record, I stayed there for one month, I don't live in Thailand, but my partner did at the time)
All the animals have pretty wide open enclosures compared to zoos I've been to in the US. Khao Kheow is farther away from the city so it's in the jungle with very large enclosures. The pygmy hippos have a smaller enclosure than the African hippopotamus but at the time they only had the one adult living there. If I'm being honest, the pygmy hippo's enclosure is the only one that seemed small. I'm sure they will expand it now that the hippos have become a big draw to the zoo.
They've also reduced the amount of time that visitors can see the hippos to 5 minutes per person, because of the influx of tourists, and they don't want to stress the animals. It's on their facebook page, in Thai
None of the animals appear to be malnourished and have plenty of room to run around. Maybe you should visit or do any research before you get mad about it or make claims about the horrible inadequate conditions of a zoo in another country.
Here's a photo of me at the hippopotamus enclosure so you can tell the scale. (I'm standing on a bridge in the foreground, about 15 feet over the water, but hippos are really huge. He's got plenty of room.)
This isnât the Pygmy Hippo habitat. Those are Common Hippos.
Thatâs great that they have large habitats for them but Iâm not talking about their other enclosures. Weâre focusing on Pygmy Hippos.
The habitat doesnât have its own water source and it seems that the keepers are required to be constantly hosing and filling up buckets to keep their skin wet.
However wild Pygmy Hippos and ones housed in facilities that have access to deep water will regularly wade, rest and play in it.
This removes agency for the animals, who have to rely on their keepers for something as critical as keeping their skin wet. They also have no areas for mud wallowing and very minimal tree coverage.
And even if the habitat was perfect, it still doesnât justify completely inappropriate handling of Pygmy Hippos.
- these two screenshots are when the keeper laughs and smacks Moo Deng on the rump, which she clearly startles from and runs away from him.
You can see the whole video here
And the âexplanationâ for this is that itâs supposed to be conditioning her to be handled.
No, this is not how you desensitise or handle wild large herbivores. Encouraging biting for your TikTok and then hitting her to make her go away are clear signs of inexperience and ignorance in handling your animals.
Hitting to the point of a startle and flight response teaches her that her keepers are unpredictable and scary. They donât seem to respect her space, even when sheâs resting. And she doesnât relax unless theyâre not too close to her.
People will bend over backwards trying to justify this so it doesnât ruin their dopamine fix of the day, but itâs absolutely not okay.
Iâm coming at this from the perspective of someone who worked in zoo animal husbandry and welfare for many years and worked in the Asia Pacific region. Animal welfare standards are different there, thatâs just a fact.
I am not posting this to shame, I just think itâs important for people to understand that Moo Dengâs habitat isnât ideal and that she isnât just âmadâ for the sake of it - sheâs showing aggression because she feels threatened.
She shows avoidance and stress around her keepers and thatâs not normal and can have long term implications for her behaviour as she grows older.
One more thing about the guests: yes itâs good theyâre minimising the time people are around her but that still means a constant rotation of people crowding her enclosure all day.
And the zoo throwing up their hands and wagging their finger at guests for throwing things at her is ridiculous when they have the power to install a better barrier to keep her safe and keep the guests at a further distance. They wonât do that, because that ruins the guest experience and they canât have that because thatâll lose them money.
Whether you like it or not, the zoo is not showing that they have Moo Dengâs welfare as their priority.
âItâs not about stereotypes!!!!!â
I love you loose clothing I love you 100% cotton or 100% linen I love you dresses/skirts that go past my knees I love you denim that doesnât stretch I love you shirts that are âtoo bigâ I love you comfortable clothing that I can actually function in for every occasion
I hate you âstanding jeansâ I hate you tight clothing that hurts my skin + worsens chronic health issues I hate you synthetic fabric that keeps you hot in the summer and cold in the winter I hate you shoes that you can only sit in I hate you bottoms that are so short I canât even bend down I hate you sleeves that are too tight for me to extend my arm I hate you every single see-through, flimsy t-shirt with a revealing neckline thatâs labeled as âevery day wearâ
the âskirts/ dresses that go past the kneesâ really got me. Why does everything have to be so damn short
Nothing changed my opinion of women's clothing so much as realizing a full skirt that goes past your knees gives you SO much freedom to move. You can twirl, you can run, you can bend over, you can lift your knee up above your hip when you step over something, you can sit on the floor no problem.
I used to think short skirts were freeing but man, that's such a lie. I've never been in more restrictive clothing than a short skirt.
Never forgotten when a male friend went out in a crop top for the first time and commented on how much he felt the need to hold his stomach in all the time. Like yes, this is what I have been complaining about for years. This is the constant body monitoring that comes with wearing revealing clothes. Its not freeing to wear something that means you can't cross your legs, bend over, relax your stomach, raise your arms etc
Men are sooo dramatic its pathetic omfg. Saw a reel about hOw hArd mEn aRe on tHemSelves and someone commented on it saying "are men okay? Do yall need a hug" and there were so many men in the comments saying and upvoting some iteration of "the world would rather shoot a man in the head than have him get a hug" like BRO. Nobody on this earth is stopping you from hugging your fellow man today. That's the most pathetic shit to whine about, it's such a self made non existent problem you need ridiculous exaggerations like the world wants to run me over with a semi truck before i get a hug to even be able to whine about it. And this is, like, the grand tragedy of the modern moid. They're shitty to themselves and each other and then cry about it and blame it on women. Literally cry me a fucking river. It's beyond pathetic how they act like this makes them such tough manly men too like get a fucking grip on reality!!!!!!!!
So when women were banned from voting it was because they felt like women? Before a woman is denied an abortion, do they ask if they feel like a woman first? When little girls are banished to suffer in menstrual huts, it's because they felt "warm and brave"?
Of course the word has no answers to you, because it was something you never were and never will be. You will die your father's son
do you think that a certain genre of queer person is so obsessively weird about pride flag discourse becuase their flags fill the gaping hole in their personality where a hogwarts house used to be

Why does there need to be validation?
If you like to wear makeup? Okay but it's not feminist to do so.
If you like to shave? Okay but it's not feminist.
Everytime a woman speaks on how these things are damaging to women as a class you always get people whining and crying about their individual choices.
This isn't even talking about why no one takes even a second to question why they want to shave, and why do they want to wear makeup.
If everything is feminist than nothing is.
It was a psyop to make feminism lose it's teeth and the people who've read an ounce of theory are "terfs" and "swerfs".
Just a hint, here: it should be the one who *wonât* be undergoing major surgery and will be fine within, like, a day.
A vasectomy takes 20 minutes and is done with lidocaine in the office and recovery is less than a week. It is reversible and requires a follow up appointment to confirm sterilization.
A bilateral salpingectomy requires general anesthesia (and all the risks that come with it) and is a major abdominal surgery wherein the surgeon inflates the abdomen with air, inserts at least three abdominal ports, may need to insert something into the uterus via the vagina to manipulate the uterus from side to side in order to get appropriate visualization of the fallopian tubes and then uses either cauterization or suture to amputate the tubes and then remove them from the abdomen. Recovery from this takes 6-8 weeks and lifting heavy items prior to full recovery can lead to hernias at the incision sites which then may require additional surgery.
Men should get vasectomies. Men who claim to love their partners would never ask them to take on the amount of risk a bilateral salpingectomy entails when they can have a 20 minute (and reversible) procedure done with virtually no risk.
I cannot believe in the year 2024 popular media sites are still referring to child sex trafficking victims as âsex workersâ
"american women have bald pits to match their bald eagles"
âYou ever listen to a man talk and think âOnly porn could make you this dumb.ââ
i love my misandrist mother i asked her one time if she liked lord of the rings and she said âiâm tired of men going on adventuresâ
why donât they stay home and do some cleaning
op is a terf
hell yeah
The author of the Lord of the Rings mocked female authors and feminism, opposed womenâs suffrage and no fault divorce, and admitted there were barely any women in his 1000 page epic because he didnât understand them (despite having a wife and daughter). Whereâs his callout post?
this is amazing đ â„ïžâ„ïž
im blowing up this is adorable
