I saw a post saying "If porn and prostitution were empowering men would be doing it" and while I absolutely agree I would add:
"If porn and prostitution were empowering men would be fighting to prevent women from doing it at all"
100% for real, this lil fash shithead has no idea, but this is such an absolutely perfect encapsulation of how the squalid institution of hetero marriage under capitalism is. Marx could not have phrased it better himself.
This is what they have in mind as the ideal, as the institution that the state is supposed to revolve around. All the means testing, tax shit, etc etc etc All the medieval fuckery that treats people who aren't married as different from people who aren't. This is what it comes down to.
You get to be a sex slave (because leaving is about to become financially impossible) and you get free food (you shop for, cook, wash dishes, and clean the kitchen), clothes (you do the laundry for the whole family and iron his shirts), lodging (you clean the house), income (an allowance that he decides on), healthcare (he’s not going to let you decide on when to have kids or how many), a car (it’s his so if you escape in it he gets to report it stolen so the police will help find you), and lots of cute clothes (sexy clothes to show you off as a trophy but when other men look too hard at you he’ll call you a boundary less, disrespectful slut). What a deal!
I love the way he illustrates that sex work is just a form of patriarchal dependency instead of individual empowerment, a mirror image of traditional marriage. In both cases your livelihood depends on serving men in a very gendered, dehumanizing manner.
once again men are proving us correct when we say that right wing men see us as private property and left wing men see us as public property

Chat where did I go wrong
the reviews are in
For reference, the federal minimum wage would have you earning roughly on average $1,256.66 a month
It’s recommended your rent only be 30% of your total budget, so with an average monthly rent of $1,827 that would mean your average renter’s monthly income should ideally be $6,090
That would be roughly $35.13 hourly or $73,080 annually
However, the average renter’s household income is only $42,500 annually or $20.43 hourly (as of 2019 according to the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey)
This means either rent prices are too unsustainably high and price gouging or wages are too unsustainably low and predatory
Or both
(Hint: it’s both)
not to mention most apartments won’t even allow you to apply unless you make 3 times rent.
If 150 year old political memes are still relevant, it means the system is broken (or it’s working exactly as intended and that intention is to make the rich richer and the poor poorer).
Y'all still drinking le vin d'éponge

My cats have this meow that means "please come with me to fix this" after which they'll lead me to the problem in question, usually a empty (or 'empty') food bowl or a closed door they want open. They look at the 'problem', they look back at me, clear message.
What fascinates me is how this illustrates what they percieve as being in the realm of my 'power.' I control the food, I control the door, sure, but my cats love to sit on the balcony in the sun, and it has happened plenty of times that on a rainy day they come get me, go to the balcony and show me... the rain. "Please fix this" they say. "Please get rid of the wet"
"Silly kitty," I say, "I can't control the rain." I then walk into the shower and turn on the rain.
I hope this is a universal cat owner experience. Every single night he begs me to turn the sun back on so he can watch birds on the balcony. I tell him no, I cannot do that.
But I can turn lights on and off in the house and he's fairly certain I'm just not applying myself properly here.
My one friend group can't stop saying, "See you in hell!" in a cheerful voice instead of, "Talk to you later!" and my other friend group can't stop calling things "penis" instead of "cool" or "good", so I just unironically uttered the phrase, "Sounds penis, see you in hell," as I got off the phone.
“Oh, that’s pretty nice. And it looks like something I could dra-”

I have heard fisher cats’ vocalizations being described as screams or cries of kids or children… but I never understood exactly how uncanny their actual sounds are!
These cats are powering up

Just remember that the British Empire, which was without exaggeration the largest empire the world has ever seen, fell in less than a couple of decades to a sad rainy island and a handful of naval bases that will soon be gone too.
We, us, in our lifetimes, will see the fall of the US empire and its allies. We will see the oppressed peoples of the world write their own history in freedom and dignity. And I believe, not out of a blind hope but out of ideological conviction, that my descendants will live in a united world with justice and equality. This is not utopianism; this is my firm belief on the power of organized struggle and socialism. This is and must be the end result: a world free of need and oppression. This will not arrive by heroism or magic, but by popular struggle and organization in a myriad forms. But it will happen.
