Where's that post that's like "people on tumblr see anorexia as a stupid thing girls do for fun instead of a deadly disease" ?

[gingerswagfreckles]

Like I wonder if maybe these women have something else in common besides being rich? Maybe something like being in the public eye 24/7 and having 1000000000000 people a day comment on their bodies in public forums where everyone including them can see and hear it??

[gingerswagfreckles]

Sorry I'm not done. We are really at the "women developing anorexia is actually Another Way To Oppress You" level of backlash to feminism and "every single thing on earth is about Marxism" type discourse on the internet now? Really? Women are developing anorexia, a deadly disease that fucks up your organs forever and slashes decades off your life, to Show Off How Capitalist They Are and oppress you? And this is a take coming from "innerchildabortionclinic." Something something the reason abortion is the only serious feminist issue the left still likes to talk about has everything to do with being perceived as "edgy" and absolutely NOTHING to do with women's rights or bodily autonomy or seeing women as human beings, as is I think made VERY evident by this "hot take" by "innerchildabortionclinic" that women develop anorexia on purpose to show off how rich they are and oppress you. God all fucking mighty crawl back into Hot Topic and leave sick women the hell alone!!!

"class signaling in the US" -> tacking on a privilege signifier as a smokescreen so people don't think they have contempt for all victims of eating disorders (because why would country have anything to do with it)

"why celebrities are like that" -> another privilege signifier, as if people (especially women and girls) of all classes don't struggle with this disease. as if (as op pointed out) there aren't other, extremely major reasons that celebs specifically are vulnerable to eating disorders.

"if you don't have the proper resources..." -> the proper resources are FOOD and TREATMENT, anyone with anorexia is by definition struggling to accept either of those things regardless of money.

"...you would be unable to function in daily life" -> anyone with anorexia, including celebs, is not functioning in daily life if you (correctly) define "functioning" in part as having healthy, non-life-threatening behaviors. depending on how long and severely they've been struggling, they may have trouble functioning to the point of being unable to run, lift heavy things, go up the stairs, sing, dance, or even stand and walk. they may have heart disease or pancreatitis.

"it's a way of saying..." -> no one suffering from anorexia is doing it to flaunt class privilege. it's an disease. many people who have it are completely out of control / under the disease's control.

"...you can afford to live on the edge" -> no one can "afford" to do this. it is a deadly disease that can kill you no matter how rich you are.

"I fully believe this" -> this disease kills 10,200 people per year in the US alone, 75% of whom are women and girls*. you've constructed this belief to position the victims (up to 20% of whom will die of anorexia**) as oppressors so that you can blame women and girls for their own suffering, instead of sympathizing with them and encouraging treatment. you should be ashamed.

Being a GNC woman is funny because one half of the political spectrum is telling you “you’re a woman so you can’t wear masculine clothes” and the other half is telling you “you wear masculine clothes so you can’t be a woman”. There is no political persuasion wherein it is acceptable to just be a GNC woman

feminism will save your life.

feminism “ruins” everything because it makes you think. it stops you from blindly following anything. when i see myself in the mirror and my eyes are distracted by my acne or my crooked teeth or asymmetrical eyes, my brain starts recalling The Beauty Myth or Susan Sontag’s essays on beauty in On Women. with that, i can no longer stare at myself and see genuine imperfections meant to be fixed but rather i am allowed to confront the actual reason i see these imperfections in the first place. when i find myself or others being too quick to judge a woman and ignore the man’s wrongdoings, i think of Woman Hating and acknowledge these judgements. when i habitually refer to everyone as “guys”, i think of Invisible Women and recognize the default male in my language. when i start feeling lost and am tempted to fall back into religion, i think of the excerpts i read from When God Was A Woman and remember everything “Jesus” and “God” stole from us.

feminism gets tiring and frustrating because misogyny is everywhere. from language to behavior, misogyny just lingers in the air. and feminism forces you to acknowledge its presence instead of trying to shoo it away. and as much as it hurts sometimes, it never fails to help me grow. what i was blinded to yesterday, i see clearly now. i don’t have to let patriarchy run my life, i don’t have to lay under men’s boots and cry. i can be the change i want to be in the world and i am capable of doing the things my ancestors would’ve loved to have the freedom to do. especially being a black girl, the freedom i have now is not something i can take for granted. those women before me fought tooth and nail with everything they had for me to be here.

Otherwise scary looking men you’d wanna stay away from putting a corset and lipstick is really unsettling. It feels unfair that women’s natural threat detection systems are being messed with.

A lot of the “before” pictures from these guys plainly show angry, depressed, surly men you’d instinctively know not to relax around and then their “after” messes with that. Like you’d relax and drop your guard more than you ordinarily would if you saw them out of their drag.

I feels like someone is non consensually tampering with your ability to accurately perceive the world around you.

some thoughts on this:

• feminism is not taken seriously as a sociopolitical movement with actual theories and intellectual writers. it exists as an aesthetic, a (defunct) dating strategy or a tiktok.

it’s why expressing any genuine feminist sentiment — being critical of marriage/heterosexual relationships, porn/sex/beauty industry, all religions (christianity, islam, etc.), surrogacy, and more — will have you walking on eggshells, even though these are basic feminist concepts.

• i have always hated the notion that women can “man hate” their way into better male partners.

AT LEAST 1 in 3 women will experience sexual violence in their lifetimes. a woman’s rapist is most likely to be her male partner (her boyfriend/husband, etc.). not that creepy stranger waiting in an alleyway, but rather the man that she trusts most. this is a simple empirical fact.

so, no. there is no woman on earth who can “outwoke” her way out of male violence. did millions of women around the world just not “pick” good enough partners? or, is male violence so deeply embedded, protected and enacted at large by men at a class?

• final thing, but how are we even defining a “sweet angel boyfriend”? do you mean a benevolent patriarch?

because, the amount of men who are true allies to women is extremely few. many men have no interest in standing up for women in front of other men, consume misogynistic pornography (either behind your back or to your face) where there is a high chance the woman (or teen — who can truly know?) has not consented, and do not pull their weight domestically, emotionally or mentally.

women are socialised to overlook these things and crave “love”, acceptance and validation from men. there’s a reason we’re groomed into this from a young age, and in general, why the patriarchy wants women to have as little self-esteem and independence as possible.

One important thing to remember in life: Do not coddle men. Do not do their work for them. Do not perform uncredited labor for them, including intellectual labor. Do not bend over backwards to help them. Do not tell them they are good at things they are bad at. Do not smile at them when you don’t want to. Do not laugh at their terrible jokes or stroke their egos or let them think they are better than you when odds are good that they are almost definitely not. Do not even deal with men whose presence bothers you when you can get away from them/when you aren’t regularly forced to be near them for things like work. Do not include men in your life who don’t deserve to be in it any time that you can avoid it at all.

at this point “neurodivergent” feels like “queer.” both categories are so broad that they’re basically meaningless. please say what you mean.

[fillejondrette]

i respect people’s right to call themselves what they want but i will be referring to myself as autistic and bisexual rather than neurodivergent and queer because i enjoy when words actually mean things

Life doesn’t end at 23. 30 isn’t old. Fetishising youth as the ultimate desirable characteristic in a person is actively harmful to both young and old people. Some of us lost our teenage years to abuse and recovery, and can only begin living when we’re at a different life stage.  Literally knock it off, the lot of you.

"Being kind is punk" you need to learn to do good things without it being tied to a social status or subculture

[gendercriticalbutch]

i need to find that post about how women are basically politically homeless bc fuck man, i’m feelin that shit.

the most popular leftist influencer right now (hasan piker) has been horrendously misogynistic for his entire fucking career, and people only started talking about how much of a shitty human he was when he hurt his dog on a livestream and not when he was visiting fucking brothels. obv animal abuse isn’t fucking okay either but hey why not mention all the nick fuentes level awful things he’s said about the demographic of people that makes up 50% of the population 😐

spicy take(?): the biggest difference between a conservative man and a leftist man is one sees women as private property while the other sees women as public property.

disturbing amount of rapist-sympathy these days. "the sex offender registry shouldnt exist" "they cant get housing" yeah thats the point, nobody wants to live with a convicted rapist. parents dont want a pedo in their neighborhood. people want this, society is safer. whatever problems it causes for rapists is the natural consequence of their repeated choices. die slow in the street for all I care. shouldnt even be out of prison, be grateful.

[kurffufle]

A big thing this person is missing from the conversation is that shit like public urination can get you put on the sex offenders registry lists. Have you ever had sex in a car outside of the driveway(in some states)? Have you ever shared / been sent explicit photos before the age of 18 by someone your age? If you answered yes than you can be put into the sex offenders lists. Not only that there's been individual cases of queer people being jailed or threatened to get put on the list for shit like kissing in public(this happened in Florida). And some gay men convinced of consensual anal sex have not been removed from the list.

I'm not at all advocating for the lack of having a sex offender list but when you trust our government to decide who's going on that list you're going to have shit like that happen

[hyeenalady]

no they dont <3 most men who get put on the registry for public urination are repeated offenders who would deliberately do it near places like elementary schools and playgrounds. it is a myth that theres a bunch of innocent people (lets be real, you mean men) who are put on the registry. as for your other examples, i invite you to go onto the registry online for your area and see what crimes the offenders near you are posted for. are they gay men? are they queer people who kissed in public? did they get one nude picture by a minor without their consent? nope. theyre child rapists and solicitors. as for your last point, it is careless to expect women to wait for the government to be trustworthy and to work perfectly before we can have resources to protect ourselves against predatory men. you use these fringe cases as an argument against the registry because you prioritize literally anything else above the safety of women and children because of your unacknowledged implicit sexist bias. no more, no less.

“Right-wing women have surveyed the world: they find it a dangerous place.

They see that work subjects them to more danger from more men; it increases the risk of sexual exploitation.

They see that creativity and originality in their kind are ridiculed; they see women thrown out of the circle of male civilization for having ideas, plans, visions, ambitions.

They see that traditional marriage means selling to one man, not hundreds: the better deal.

They see that the streets are cold, and that the women on them are tired, sick, and bruised.

They see that the money they can earn will not make them independent of men and that they will still have to play the sex games of their kind: at home and at work too.

They see no way to make their bodies authentically their own and to survive in the world of men.

They know too that the Left has nothing better to offer: leftist men also want wives and whores; leftist men value whores too much and wives too little.

Right-wing women are not wrong. They fear that the Left, in stressing impersonal sex and promiscuity as values, will make them more vulnerable to male sexual aggression, and that they will be despised for not liking it. They are not wrong.”

Right Wing Women, Andrea Dworkin

why is gender dysphoria the only mental illness that’s “affirmed”?

granted i’m not a professional psychiatrist but i can’t think of any other mental illness where the unwell patient makes a statement about reality and that statement is “affirmed.” a patient with a restrictive ED states they need to be severely underweight to be worthy as a person, a patient with OCD states that if they don’t repeat same ritualistic behavior something terrible is going to happen to them, a patient with depression states that the world would be better off without them in it…all of these hypothetical patients are making statements about reality as a result of what their mental illness/disorder is telling them. but no therapist in their right mind would “affirm” any of these beliefs because they’re obviously the result of a mind that is unwell and “affirming” these individuals would just make them sicker by pushing them deeper into their unhealthy line of thinking.

the same cannot be said of gender dysphoria, where a patient states that they were born in the wrong body/they should have been the opposite sex and that belief about reality is then “affirmed” by medical professionals. in not all, but many cases it’s “affirmed” with barely any questioning/pushback at all. there are a lot of things about “gender affirming care” that i find concerning, but i think the most questionable thing of all literally comes down to it’s name.

i mean if you ever wonder why the trans community is the way it is just think about what would happen if a therapist “affirmed” their patient with social anxiety by saying they’re correct about their friends and family secretly hating them, or “affirmed” their patient with anorexia by saying they’re correct about needing to eat a dangerously low calorie diet… the individual would inevitably get sicker, pushed deeper into their disordered thinking. they might even become passionately adamant about the fact that they’re correct to be thinking the way they do to an almost unhinged degree because their doctor, an individual with power who is more educated than the average person, “affirmed” them and said that they’re right. and it feels really fucking good to be told you’re right, it can become pretty damn intoxicating…

“it’s okay for girls to be feminine” as if anyone in the history of humanity has ever told them it’s not, meanwhile butches and tomboys are a critically endangered species. girl, the reason you feel bad about being feminine is because you’re a girl, not because you’re feminine. men as a social class will hate you and everything they associate with women, because they hate women. but rest assured, women are still expected to perform femininity, because women performing femininity caters to men. that is what it is designed for. that is its social purpose to reinforce the gender hierarchy and men as the top social class. femininity is built on women’s ability to endlessly serve men with their labor, particularly menial and undesirable household tasks, emotional labor, and sexual labor. men see femininity as beneath them and worthy of mockery because it’s meant to cater to them. of course they see it as beneath them, they designed it that way. but if women don’t perform femininity the way they want, they mock it, because the whole point of femininity is to cater to men. that includes putting women down to ‘keep them in their place’, even women reinforcing the status quo.

that is why masculine women are far more socially stigmatized. they aren’t catering to the dominant gender class, so men despise masculine women. they’ll mock some feminine women for not catering to their specific ideals and kinks, but masculine women don’t fulfil the assigned social role of footstool nurse nymph cook servant mother punching bag, so men hate them and want an example made of them.

so get a grip. you don’t need positivity posts about how it’s okay to be feminine. not just because it’s constantly reinforced everywhere you look. but also because nearly all aspects of femininity are a psyop meant to condition women to cater to men. you should unlearn that shit. and for the love of god. stop telling girls “it’s okay to be feminine.” they fucking know. they’re told being feminine is the only option. you should be telling girls it’s okay to be masculine. because i promise you, no one else is.
