i've said it before but it's genuinely startling how many people who would self describe as feminists really think that "it doesn't count as sexual harassment because i don't want to fuck you" is a real argument that holds water and not, yknow, an incredibly common and disgusting misogynistic tactic that men employ against women constantly.

you'll see it used all the time to justify spreading nudes, harassing women with unwanted conversations and insults about their bodies, genitals, and sex lives, blanket sexualization and calling everything women do a fetish, clearly branding women as bodies that can only exist for sex.

but it "doesn't count" as sexual harassment, as sexualization, as misogyny, when you do it because you personally wouldn't fuck her? cool let me introduce you to the men who talk down to "sluts", i think you'll have a lot in common with those guys.

spreading pictures a woman took of herself to spaces it was not intended for, without her consent, with the express purpose of mocking and belittling her, doesn't count as revenge porn because "none of us would think of it as porn because you're so gross"? that's awesome feminism you have there, have you considered joining the ranks of every shitty college boy in the world?

"you don't count as a woman to me so if i'm misogynistic to you that's fine" isn't the feminist defense you think it is

when someone brings their scared puppy in public and says they're trying to socialize it by exposing it to lots of people and noises. shared formative experience

[malignedmare]

trans women seeing themselves in someone and being honest about it and encouraging someone to transition is not “transvestigating” i will kill you so hard

[malignedmare]

“transvestigating” is a transmisogynistic harassment ritual that cis people carry out to further the stereotypes of predatory trans women. i will kill you

[ashenmind]

“tag what you see” is always a cover because actually implementing that would involve not using gendered terminology at all, but the sites never actually do that

[ashenmind]

what I can see is a penis and b-cups; you’re the one who decided to get transphobic about that

[wizardarchetypes]

it's so crazy too bc i'll be like "this phrase/practice is being touted as ancient knowledge with a secret unbroken lineage, but it was quite literally made up in the 20th century. like we can trace it back to its very inception in like 1961." and someone will be like "that can't be true because my grandmother taught it to me." and i'm like yes your grandmother was 20 in 1961.

took my little sister to the park and one of her classmates was there and she told him that i was her brother and the kid said "your brother looks more like a sister" and my sister yelled "HES NOTHING!"

[sailatina3]

Genuinely I hope shens "fans" dont keep her in the closet by violently rejecting the possibility she may want to be a girl.

Halo that's directly and rigidly attatched to the angel girls skull but in a kind of higher dimensional way, where there's no visible physical connection you can interact with, but it is absolutely and immovably locked in its position relative to the angels head, so if you grab her by the halo you can drag her around by it and move her head around as you please <3

[stairwaytomybasement]

excuse me, Angel here, my Halo is connected via LOVE so just be aware touching it to much messes with the signal. Its actually very rude to tug it to hard because ill start singing "I love you" louder the harder it's pulled.

[doll-shell]

What if I was a hero but I lost to my villainous rival and she put a collar on me and I did her bidding loyally......,

[dragongirlsnout]

Well I think that would make you a petgirl, not a herogirl

[doll-shell]

No I would be doing her bidding heroically

[dragongirlsnout]

I'm sorry to break it to you but herogirls don't typically dream of serving their villainous rivals. Heroically or not

[daylights-rain]

hero girls also aren't excited to climb back into a cage next to their rival's throne

[just-spacetrash]

in my little pony universe youd go to a job interview and theyd be like so how does your cutiemark reflect your dedication to this position. And every time youd have to spew some bullshit about how your cutiemark of two tennis rackets actually means youre a team player and good at multitasking and view the market like a playing field. or whatever. and you wouldnt even get the job

[fvckw4d]

Thanks to Equestria v Sugar Sprinkle, cutie mark interview questions are considered hiring discrimination, so if anypony asks you any cutiemark related questions or even alludes to any questions about your cutiemark such as "In your own words, describe your life purpose" you can and should refuse to answer. Know your rights, ponies.

A lot of "G*nd*r Cr*t*c*ls", through their own bigotry, accidentally stumble into having a better understanding of transmisogyny than other transmisogynists. E.g. if you talk about how trans women have much higher rates of unemployment, they will often accept that it's true, but will say it's not surprising that employers don't want us because we're creepy and weird.

Like, well done, you've nailed how transmisogyny manifests a lot of the time, in snap instinctive revulsion based not on our actual behaviour but rather on our appearance, voice, mannerisms, etc.

It's actually kind-of refreshing to be faced with someone who isn't saying "trans women aren't especially marginalised" but rather "trans women are especially marginalised, but that's good because they're freaks". It's moved from a dispute about the severity of oppression, to one about whether oppression is good or not, and that's a dispute where the right and wrong sides are trivial to identify.

"G*nd*r Cr*t*c*ls" are just taking pre-existing societal bigotry, saying it out loud, and calling it "feminism". Like, I think you'll find that there's already a political movement that is openly disgusted by people it considers men deviating from their state-assigned gender expression, did you accidentally choose the wrong F ideology from the political dictionary?

"Grace Ryland is Rocky's dog" is such a funny fucking dynamic when you think about it

Eridians are further behind than humans technologically right? They dont have computers, relativity, quantum mechanics, etc. In fact, Eridians probably dont even know about the Big Bang because their atmosphere would filter out most of the cosmic microwave background radiation we use to detect it. On a human timeline, theyre anywhere between like early-mid 20th century. Rocky's basically a cosmonaut.

So the human civilization is pretty advanced from Rocky's perspective. Rationally he understands this. On a conceptual level he knows this to be true.

But at the same time... imagine youre one of the first ever cosmonauts to make it into space. Then you meet a 10 year old alien dog who cant do 2+2 without pulling out its calculator. It forgets everything constantly and has to keep notes everywhere, like it basically lives in Memento (2000). Also if it doesnt nap constantly it gets even stupider. And you somehow has to reconcile this with the fact that this dog has a better understanding of physics than your entire civilization does. Like the dog knows how the universe started.

[autisticlittleguy]

This isnt better from Grace's perspective btw. Eridians never developed computers, so all their ship systems are steered using basically the manual labor of 24 Eridians. Also theres no radiation shielding on their ship. Actually im pretty sure half the reason why Rocky is always busy fixing shit is because the radiation keeps frying all the onboard electronics, so hes always building and fixing and replacing components

Like imagine being a modern day sailor navigating the Pacific with GPS and strong hulls to protect against the raging ocean. And from portside you see like an honest to god viking ship. Except its made of some high tech carbon fiber material. But like, its still very definitely a viking ship. You can clearly see there's 24 oars along the hull where sailors are supposed to use to manually row their ship. Also the ship is leaking and theres like one little dude on board whos skittering around patching the holes constantly. Also this little dude is blind and doesnt know about water. Thats how insane Eridians look being an interstellar species without computers or radiation shielding.

Both of them thinks the other one is the completely ridiculous and absurd one and theyre both totally amazed at how far the other has come in spite of it

[thecosmonautical]

This is actyally one of the things i appreciate about the world building of phm is that there is no such thing as straight forward more or less "technologically advanced". The technological advances made by each planet is based on what those people needed, the resources available and the conditions of each planet

[demilypyro]

if you're a man and you consider your imagined female version to both be more likeable and have "more personality" I have incredible news to share with you. I think you know what it is
