You guys are always like "being crushed by 10,000 tons of rock probably feels good as hell" or "being torn to pieces by hunting dogs would low key fix me" and I feel like those things would actually be unpleasant.

[goetic-justice]

How about "Drinking an ice cold strawberry milkshake probably feels good as hell". Do you guys like that one.

The moment you decide that horrific violence is okay if it's aimed at Bad Guys™, you immediately have an incentive to categorize all of your "enemies" as Bad Guys™ in order to justify violence to them. They are not people anymore, they aren't complex and diverse human beings with their own motivations and lives and desires, they are the Bad Guys™ and everything done to them (no matter how horrific or indefensible in any other situation) is okay because it's for a Good Cause™.

The only way to not fall into that sort of mindset is to just not let yourself create exceptions for your basic morals. And that isn't EASY, you have to correct yourself constantly and break away from people and blogs and new sources and the like that push dehumanizing and violent narratives, but it's the only way to approach sensitive and important topics with kindness and compassion rather than hate and anger.

Contrary to what most people think, motherhood is not as protected and privileged a position as people believe it is. Motherhood is idealized as an abstract concept, seen as the ultimate in what a person can be and should be, and this is most easily seen with the so called “pro-life” movement. But the truth is, when someone actually becomes a mother, they are abandoned, scorned, and not taken as seriously, ESPECIALLY when they are marginalized in some way (poor, of colour, etc.).

Society at large doesn’t love mothers; it loves the idea of motherhood. Actual mothers are not seen as important.

How I sleep knowing I am not responsible for the version of me in people’s heads

[stuckinapril]

So long as I give people the benefit of the doubt, always act with grace, mind my own business, put effort into clarifying miscommunication, breathe my way through negative feelings, try the best I can, move w accordance to my values, and consider people’s emotions, I know I have nothing to worry about. I have never wronged anyone bc I am so firm on not being that person. And I will continue to be firm on it and that will ground me and I’ll always be okay

i do fundamentally agree with the idea that stuff like 'man' and 'women' dont have to be mutually exclusive, people can identify as whatever they want, and gender is there to be played around with as much as anyone likes. but i do feel like we're seeing a trend amongst some subsets of people where they can't hold those beliefs and Also accept the fact that as it stands 'woman' is still a very real and important political class of people. like it really would be great if we were in a place culturally where gender categorizations werent very politically relevant. but they clearly are. and i feel like a lot of people in an attempt to find an understanding of gender that makes them more comfortable have subconsciously kind of abandoned a framework that calls for a structured women's lib movement.

and it's like, on one side you have large swathes of the population who still aren't fully sold on the whole 'women are people' thing. and then on the other side you have a group who correctly understand that the whole gender thing is pretty bullshit. but then, instead of using feminism as a platform to try and build towards a world that reflects those ideals politically they have just kind of retreated fully into idpol and abandoned the scraps of the feminist framework to the radfems to re-appropriate into. fucking. nouveau phrenology.

it just sucks man it feels like we're sort of at an all time low in regards to public interest in meaningful feminism that i've witnessed in my lifetime.

this all really ties into my feelings about the "Lesbians Can Date Men!" discourse a lot because at the end of the day i truly do not care what identity people use for themselves and am much more concerned if our actual political beliefs line up. but from a political standpoint i do think it is necessary for women's lib to have a word that means 'woman who is unequivocally not romantically or sexually interested in men' and if that word isn't going to be lesbian then i really don't know what it is.
