Funny how David Tennant, you know, the self-appointed defender of trans people can't muster even an inth of outrage about his friend and collaborator brutally raping women in the most painful ways possible, some of whom he inadvertently helped to lure into Gaimen's hands. It's almost as if he's just a performative men's rights activist and not a genuine soul concerned about the wellbeing of marginalized people.

Reading this and remembering how twitter liberal feminists called korean feminists crazy white supremists after finding out about the 4B movement (aka "4 no's" : no dating, no sex, no marriage, no raising kids with [korean] men)

/ The no kids and 4b thing extends to all men, not just korean men

Women aren’t better multitaskers than men – they’re just doing more work

“But a new study, published today in PLOS One, shows women are actually no better at multitasking than men. The study tested whether women were better at switching between tasks and juggling multiple tasks at the same time. The results showed women’s brains are no more efficient at either of these activities than men’s.“

“My colleagues and I recently busted another relevant myth – that women are better at seeing mess than men. We found men and women equally rated a space as messy. The reason men do less cleaning than women may lie in the fact that women are held to higher standards of cleanliness than men, rather than men’s “dirt blindness”.“

Gave up and took over responsibility for another of “his” chores today despite chronic pain making said chore very challenging for me.  I thought about this study while on my knees scooping cat pans (can’t bend over for that long).

What’s very interesting to me here is the discrepancy and total hours between couples with a male breadwinner and a female breadwinner. It’s not just that women continue to do a larger proportion of house work even when they’re working, it’s that the total hours of the housework are higher with a male bread winner. The lowest total hours is with the couple that don’t have kids but are both working. Wonder what that’s about?

This is a great idea and needs to be followed all over the world.

Honestly, it’s a fault of mine but I’m very sensitive and I cried a lot over this, even right now. I tried to report that blog days ago, but I was told in the report response it would remain because no violations were found. I sent another report today, but it feels helpless.

I don’t understand anything about what’s happening.. I was told often here before that I should block people who are rude to me or doing things that make me feel uncomfortable, but I did that so I’m being punished? There are people who go there and say they want me to be harmed, beaten or raped. To have my home address and have other information about myself shared online like it’s nothing… I’m seriously very much afraid, so much so that I can’t even go to my home and staying with my parents now. I think the people who can follow this person and send messages of encouragement are also very scary and evil people.

I’ve always kept quiet and never said rude things to anyone, despite the terrible messages that would come in every day on this website before I closed the message function. I’ve never been treated like this in any other gif sharing place I go to. Many sisters in my life told me not to interact with English speaking friends because if they find fault with you and make them angry, they’ll call you with misogyny like you’ve never seen before. “You will be attacked for being born a woman who dared to be happy” is what my gif Twitter friend told me.

I would like to keep posting gif here. Because gif here is a very different format from what I was used to, so I could be a little creative. By being here, I learned how to make subtitles in gif that I was able to present the entire scene of beautiful words for this place and my Korean gif sharing community.

There were people who were nice to me, and there were people I was happy when I saw their user ID interaction with my posts. It has an invisible link but I would like to believe that not everyone was waiting secretly for the opportunity to say that they hope for my rape and abuse. Likewise, I would like to believe that there are people who will not be friendly when someone agrees that I should be harmed.

I’d like to come in again for the Donbrothers this time and the time after until the end, but I’d like to say that I don’t want to interact with people who say terrible or disgusting things. Don’t force myself to endure it. I really don’t want to.

Even though I say I want to post again for the next episode, but I’m really so afraid, I might not have the strength to come in. My heart is so broken, all I can feel is betrayal and fear. It hurts so much. I don’t know if I can heal from this, so it’s best for me to remain with my family and stay away for a while so I can breathe again.

Thank you very much for everything up until now. I hope that this translation can be understood. My hands are shaking and I’ve crying over and over, so I might not have typed well enough for a coherent translation.

It’s really shameful how much misogyny, hatred, contempt and harassment women are getting over this. Anyone who threatens or abuses women over the internet is messed up in the head. To the OP, please reach out to friends and family and stay safe!

I remember reading 1984 and asking my teacher about the woman hating undertones and she was surprised because... nobody had ever asked that? The main character wanted to rape a woman and bash her head with a brick the moment he orgasmed and nobody was ever like “aw geez that sounds like misogyny”

Women are raised to learn about historical figures who were “great men” who raped, beat, and at minimum held women as subservient.

Women are raised to learn about “incredible artists” who cheated, beat, or belittled women around them.

Women are raised to learn about “brilliant philosophers” who spoke of womens inferiority, referenced us as breeding stock, or altogether counted us out as animals.

Women are raised to learn about “genius minds” who stole from, degraded, or rose at the expense of women of their time.

Women are raised to learn about “influential authors” who wrote down about women, were pedophilic to girls, or abused their wives.

Women are taught to sacrifice, forgive, scar - because why would you dare keep a man from his greatness?

Colombia Decriminalizes Abortion, Bolstering Trend Across Region

The court’s decision follows years of organizing by women across Latin America for greater protections and more rights, and significant shifts in the region’s legal landscape.

Having an abortion is no longer a crime under Colombian law, the country’s top court ruled on Monday, in a decision that paves the way for the procedure to become widely available across this historically conservative, Catholic country.

The ruling by Colombia’s Constitutional Court follows years of organizing by women across Latin America for greater protections and more rights, including access to abortion, and significant shifts in the region’s legal landscape.

Mexico’s Supreme Court decriminalized abortion in a similar decision in September and Argentina’s Congress legalized the procedure in late 2020. Colombia’s decision means that three of the four most populous countries in Latin America have now opened the door to more widespread access to abortion.

…“This puts Colombia on the vanguard in Latin America,” said Mariana Ardila, a Colombian lawyer with Women’s Link Worldwide, part of the coalition that brought one of two cases challenging the criminalization of abortion. “This is historic.”

What really fucks me up about a 40 hour work week and I’ve tried to explain to people over and over is that like of you do the math you have maybe 3 hours every day to just like. Rest and be with your family. And that’s kind of it

Like the average adult needs about 8 hours of sleep every night, so that cuts your 24 hours to 16 right off the bat.

You’re working for 8 hours, so 8 left.

But you actually work 8 to 5 at most offices, not 9 to 5, and that lunch is basically just long enough to retrieve food and eat. 7.

It took you 20 minutes to shower this morning, 10 to get dressed, and 45 to make a bowl of oatmeal and eat it. We’ll say 15 to get your stuff together and out to your car. 5 and a half.

You get home and have to cook dinner, 30 minutes min for that, probably more like an hour, so somewhere between 5 and 4.5 hrs left. And then you’ve got to eat it, 30 minutes if you’re being healthy about it.

So at best you’ve MAYBE got 4/4.5 hours left every week day and that’s assuming you ran exactly zero errands, didn’t stop by the gym after work, didn’t have to stay late, have a wicked fast transition time between tasks AND a commute of like 5 minutes by car. If you have to go to the store after a quick run at the gym, pick your kids up from soccer across town, and you factor in a 30 minute commute both ways, you’ve got enough free time for like one episode of show Monday through Friday. And weekends have got to be for cleaning the house and going to visit your mom for a few hours.

When do you write, or paint, or read or sew or go on hikes? When do you go on spur of the moment adventures with your wife and try to perfect your grandma’s soda bread? What happens when it rains on Saturday after being sunny all the rest of the week so you can’t go to the zoo that day and you don’t have enough money for the museum? Why are we all just content to postpone our whole lives, put off “happy” and “healthy” for a miniscule amount of extra value we’re producing for someone else?

And it’s also a thing that fascinates me about hustle culture like. When do y'all rest? When do sleep and food happen? How do you make 3 different jobs work without dying?

Idk idk like I said I’m real fucked up about it. It amazes me that more office workers aren’t great big socialists because we have this miserable job where we’re monitored constantly and just have to sit. Still. And maintain focus on ONE THING for EIGHT HOURS in a BORING GRAY ROOM with exactly two short breaks at designated times and I just?? How does that not suck for literally everyone else?? You said yourself, Angie, you’re useless after 3 pm so just?? Organize with me and negotiate for shorter days??? Like you’re literally already only producing 6 hours of value, you don’t need to be sitting there for longer than that.

I agree with all of this and it’s incredibly important. But I’d like to add: “jobs aren’t designed for single people to do this, they are post-war relics that rely on the unpaid labour of a spouse for cooking, cleaning etc”. It relied on the unpaid labour of WOMEN. Not any spouses, WOMEN. That’s the point. The workload of capitalism always relied on working class women to do unpaid labour for working class men and to be property of men so the working class men could fulfill their immense workload for the benefit of the capitalist class. Women STILL hold just a fraction of the world populations wealth, most women are still not their own providers and need to rely on men, women who work are still mostly expected to give up their career for kids or to carry double the workload. Yes, it’s good that more women are able to provide for themselves now. But nothing changed about the workload that’s expected from the working class (as OP wrote). Which leads to resentment of feminism, women having to do double the work, a majority of women STILL not being able to provide for themselves even when they are working themselves etc. So as long as the workload and the expectations of the working class don’t change, there can be no liberation of women. This is why there is no liberation of women under capitalism. There is no feminism that’s pro-capitalist or liberal because that kind of feminism doesn’t achieve anything material. Any liberal and capitalist feminism is useless. Working class activism needs to be feminist and feminist activism needs to be working class activism. Marx and Engels actually wrote about this (see this article for example https://www.isreview.org/issues/02/engles_family.shtml ) and I highly recommend every feminist to educate themselves on class consciousness of the working class. One quote from Engels as an example: “The man took command in the home also; the woman was degraded and reduced to servitude; she became the slave of his lust and a mere instrument for the production of children… . In order to make certain of the wife’s fidelity and therefore the paternity of his children, she is delivered over unconditionally into the power of the husband; if he kills her, he is only exercising his rights.”

Thoughts like these led me to pursue woman’s land.

HAPPENING NOW: An antiwar rally in Kiev, Ukraine, in front of the U.S. Embassy, February 9, 2022.

“The protesters demand from U.S. to stop interference in Ukraine and pushing it to war with Russia. I bet no West mainstream media covers anti-NATO protests in Ukraine (they report only about our far-right militants preparing to fight Russians, as far as I can see).”
