my pronouns are male violence is rooted in biology but is mainly triggered by environmental factors / it’s evolutionarily bizarre to think that there would have evolved more than two sexes or two genders so no you’re not gender fluid or non-binary; you’re just fed up with socially constructed gender roles or you’re a man trying to be labeled as oppressed because men can never handle things not being about them

Please remember that almost everyone around you is traumatized. I didn’t understand this when I was younger. I wondered why people acted so strangely and irrationally. Maybe all children wonder this. The author Robert Anton Wilson said (paraphrasing), “We have never seen a completely sane adult human.” No one makes it out of this life alive. It’s not their fault. Mercy, kindness, forgiving — these are what makes one human. They are other names for love. People break in the strangest of ways.

“Under the present brutal and primitive conditions on this planet, every person you meet should be regarded as one of the walking wounded. we have never seen a man or woman not slightly deranged by either anxiety or grief. we have never seen a totally sane human being." — Robert Anton Wilson

Of course you feel disconnected from your gender it’s quite literally a made up set of rules based on stereotypes

the overuse of validity wording and caveats by intelligent, well-spoken women has got to stop. to make that happen, we need to build up these women's confidence and challenge the culture of bad faith interpretations and kneejerk reactions.

one of my favorite youtubers for example, she'll get on a topic where she's concisely and bluntly giving her analyses on complex subjects. she's obviously done her reading and thought it through, and then she trips at the end to tack on a string of caveats "...if that makes any sense! but that might just be me, if you disagree and that works for you, that's fine too!" it destroys her flow and lessens the impact of her analysis, and every single time you can see her struggle to regain her footing afterwards.

it makes me want to grab her by the shoulders and beg her to grow a spine. if there are men with podcasts claiming as fact that disproven wolf hierarchy theory applies to human society, then you can speak with confidence on your topic that you actually have a degree on. but i understand why she does this because i've seen people jump all over her analyses and even her character with the stupidest, most poorly constructed, bad faith attacks possible.

informed intelligent women should not need mandatory pre-emptive disclaimers to cater to the uninformed, unintelligent, and angry.

I feel like trump looking likely to beat a more competent and qualified female candidate twice, both being the only times a woman has been a nominated presidential candidate, is a real blow to the psyche for all women and girls in the U.S.. It seems to deliver a message of "no matter how put-together, professional, and smart you are, you will always lose to the dumbest, loudest man in the room."

[chamomilechaos1999]

Even if Kamala Harris wins and the liberal message becomes "I knew all along!", I hope American girls and women NEVER forget how close men came to electing Donald Trump even after the civil conviction for sexual assault / rape and the overturning of Roe vs Wade. These men will turn on women the first chance they get and expect dinner hot on the table when they're done.

terfs are incredible

> “it doesn’t matter if they consented, you’re a bad person if you get off to causing other people pain”

so you agree? you don’t actually care about consent and you just have moral standards for what people do? you don’t think their consent matters because they’re doing something you personally find gross? that’s what you’re saying there?

damn girl hows the christofascism taste

[elonex]

Consent has limits. Yes. That's why children can't drink alcohol even if they consent. That's why you can't kill someone even if they consent.

Also, let's not forget that you are arguing for men to cause pain to women.

[thesinisterspinster]

It is neither safe nor sane to allow a man whose sexual violent fantasy includes harming his partner. BDSM allows these males to coerce women into consent so yeah the consent is meaningless in this case.

[anomalys-bane]

why don't we remove sex from the equation? imagine if a self harming person wants their friend to cut them. suppose the friend actually agrees and both parties are okay with it. does it become okay, or will you be concerned at why the person wants to self harm in the first place? won't it reinforce harmful ideas? won't you be horrified that the friend actually agreed to cut them?

[flowerlygirls]

this is so funny like yes i have moral standards for what people do ???? hello??? so should you?? you should have moral principles and if they are real and not just a thought experiment for you they will automatically also go for other people like thats how morals and ethics work bro

[erosmoves]

“Consent” as a concept is also flawed. It insinuates an imbalanced power dynamics. Consent is an illusion of equality. It enables men and other privileged groups to exercise their power under the false guise of equality and approval. The focus shifts from the perpetrator to the victim. Catharine MacKinnon has written a lot about this. “Consent is the main legal and social excuse for doing nothing about sexual coercion.”
