you can only think women are being discriminatory and bigoted for refusing to have sex with a certain demographic if you believe that her body is a public resource that someone can wrongfully be denied access to - a facility that everybody should be allowed to use at will.

I love looking at the notes and seeing people switch from “don’t be islamophobic” to “islam is a sexist religion anyways so who cares about muslim women some who are forced into the religion losing spaces”

[zuttie-deactivated-2022]

It’s not the violent hadiths, or the verse condoning domestic violence or the cultural pressures for marriage or the legal laws of hijab or death on adultery. No it’s this, that finally makes liberals say Islam is sexist

[xx-fadingaway-xx]

its so fucking ironic. as soon as trans women come up, guess what, woc muslim women are knocked off the oppressed list. these people will stop at nothing to prioritize them.

calling yourself cis or a karen is so embarrassing. you fell for the corniest trick in the book. It's like a man walked up to you and said "put this sticker that says "i'm a loser idiot" on your forehead" and you just went oh okay sir! and did it.

“In part, it’s because the language of gender identity has always been a bit bewildering to me—I’ve felt hungry, happy, gassy, and anxious, but never male or female. Even so, it has been tempting to interpret my experience in ways that separated it from that of other women. This is especially true because cis-gendered women have a distinct tendency to define themselves in ways that don’t include me. I hear women throw out things like, “As women, we all know how important it is to feel pretty,” or “We, as women, are naturally more tender and nurturing,” statements that never seem to include women like me. Not only do I dislike feeling pretty and prefer arguing to nurturing, I don’t even particularly like eating chocolate. Popular culture, and women themselves, often imply that I lack many of the most essential qualities of womanhood. So in the past I’ve been quite tempted by the idea that perhaps I’m not a woman after all. I mean, I’m masculine in all sorts of ways—I am ambitious, logical, aggressive, strong, and highly competitive. And I’m certainly not silly, frivolous, dainty, weak, or overly emotional … Oh dear. That’s where I run into a major problem, isn’t it? When I start listing traits of mine that I’d call masculine, they’re always positive. They’re points of pride. Whereas when I list traits I lack that I’d call feminine, they’re negatives. It seems I can’t consider my own masculinity or lack of femininity without relying on some of the worst and most pernicious sex-based stereotypes. This suggests to me that the enterprise itself is suspect.” Lea Delaria

What a diplomatic and eloquent way of putting it. She’s so smart I love this quote.

I feel like a part of the reason why so many straight people support drag is because they like being able to view gay people as clowns who exist for their entertainment. Like I think most heterosexuals are fully aware that drag is extremely degrading and embarrassing, which is why I think they enjoy it and defend it so passionately. They already view homosexuals as “queer” and “exotic” just for existing as same sex attracted people and drag is a way for them to enjoy watching homosexual men degrade themselves while still getting to call themselves allies.

So tell me more about how women "manipulate the police and courts" and how "women lie about being abused and get believed and men get put in prison for 20 years over false accusations"

He set her on fire after she begged several police stations for help and nobody took her fears seriously

(Despite him having a history of violence, a history of mental health issues, and a court order telling him to stay away from her and her children, which he ignored, which are all warning signs that SHOULD have been listened to)

Tell me more about how totally innocent men get punished by this "unfair system"

Andrea Dworkin once wrote, "You won’t ever know the worst that happened to Nicole Brown Simpson in her marriage, because she is dead and cannot tell you. And if she were alive, remember, you wouldn’t believe her." And that last sentence is true of every woman who died at the hands of her husband.

If you're a woman, the police are not set up to favor you. The courts are not set up to favor you. Men are not your protectors and they are not your providers. If you believe men's lies about these things, those men will laugh in your face and behind your back about what a fool you are to believe them.

Abortion is critical women's health care

[blackswallowtailbutterfly]

And that's why conservative men don't want it legal. Not because of babies, it's not even to make sure women have them--as we've seen, they won't even approve of abortion if keeping the nonviable pregnancy will make some women infertile--it's because they want a population of women that can't access higher education and are forced to stay in relationships. That, to them, is worth some women and girls dying, some children being orphaned, some babies being born only to suffer and die, and some women and girls being made infertile.

I am so incredibly sick of this attitude that policies that hurt women are okay because, "It's incredibly rare, it's fine." No.

If ONE woman dies, becomes trapped in an abusive relationship, has to postpone her education, or falls into poverty because she couldn't access an abortion, that's too many.

If ONE woman is killed by her male family members in an honor killing, that's too many.

If ONE little girl is raped and is forced to marry her rapist, that's too many.

If ONE woman is raped or hurt by a trans male in prison, that's too many.

If ONE girl is a victim of FGM, that's too many.

I am not willing to accept ANY number of women as collateral damage. None, zero. And I am incredibly suspicious of people who seem willing to sacrifice women for their agendas.

from a linguistic standpoint, the “-sexual” suffix in the words “homosexual”, “bisexual”, “heterosexual” is NOT related to the physical act of having sex (= coitus), libido, or sex drive. it's about the biological sex (= sexus) of the people you're attracted to. etymologically, the word “homosexual” simply means “a person who is only attracted to the same sex”. now, of course, if you're sexually attracted to somebody, you're (hopefully) going to have sex with them, but the coitus (having sex) and the sexus (biological sex) are still two different things, even though they're connected.

that's why all those new labels and sexualities (like “demisexual”) don't make sense: the “-sexual” suffix is not about HOW you have sex, it's about WHO you have sex with. if you don't like hookups, that's not your sexual orientation. if you don't like men, well, that's your sexual orientation.
