your female ancestors who had to fight for their right to vote and wear pants watching you tag your posts with self-infantilising freudian horrors like female hysteria, girlmath, im just a girl, nymphet, lolita, coquette dollette

[wutheringheightsfilm]

you're laughing. emerald fennell, a rich white woman, is adapting wuthering heights into a solely-for-shock-value film and ignoring all of the books themes on racism, cycles of abuse, and class. and casting heathcliff as a white man when he should be dark skinned. and casting edgar linton, the rich white man who holds immense privilege over heathcliff, as a man of color. this woman is racist and can't tackle class dynamics for shit but you're laughing

listening to the sabrina carpenter interview and she said "women are the smartest and the dumbest, we make choices that are pathetic and ask for the bare minimum, but acknowledge it"

[lesb0]

"I was lying in a man's lap and he started petting me, playing with my hair and it made me think about how the domination and submission between man & women makes women into man's best friend, like in a way women are just like dogs.... I showed my family and friends the album cover and they liked it!"

[lesb0]

Why do faux feminists so badly want smart women to think that admitting something is detrimental to women is the same as criticism? "Men see me as a lapdog and use my hair as a leash"

Ok, and? if you're saying it happens and you're still embracing and tolerating it, you've just embarrassed yourself..... there's no feminist act to follow up the acknowledgement of the misogyny. So what now.

Ancient Greek Women Mathematicians you didn't know about

Αίθρα - Aethra (10th - 9th century BC), daughter of the king of Troizina Pitthea and mother of Theseus, knew mathematics in another capacity unknown to many. So sacred to the beginnings of the most cerebral science, Aethra taught arithmetic to the children of Troizina, with that complex awe-inspiring method, since there was no zero… and the numbers were symbolically complex, as their symbols required many repetitions.

Πολυγνώτη - Polygnoti (7th - 6th century BC) The historian Lovon Argeios mentions Polygnotis as a companion and student of Thalis. A scholar of many geometric theorems, it is said in Vitruvius' testimony, that she contributed to the simplification of arithmetic symbols by introducing the principle of acrophony. She managed this by introducing alphabetic letters that corresponded to each in the initial letter of the name of the number. Thus, Δ, the initial of Δέκα (ΤΕΝ), represents the number 10. X, the initial of Χίλια (Thousand), represents the number 1000 etc. According to Vitruvius, Polygnoti formulated and first proved the proposition "Εν κύκλω η εν τω ημικυκλίω γωνία ορθή εστίν" - "In the circle the angle in the hemi-circle is right angle."

Θεμιστόκλεια - Themistoklia (6th century BC). Diogenes the Laertius scholar-writer mentions it as Αριστόκλεια - Aristoclia or Θεόκλεια - Theoclia. Pythagoras took most of his moral principles from the Delphic priestess Themistoclia, who at the same time introduced him to the principles of arithmetic and geometry. According to the philosopher Aristoxenos (4th century BC), Themistoclia taught mathematics to those of the visitors of Delphi who had the relevant appeal. Legend has it that Themistoclia decorated the altar of Apollo with geometric shapes. According to Aristoxenos, Pythagoras admired the knowledge and wisdom of Themistoclia, a fact that prompted him to accept women later in his School.

Μελίσσα - Melissa (6th century BC). Pupil of Pythagoras. She was involved in the construction of regular polygons. Lovon Argeios writes about an unknown work of hers: "Ο Κύκλος Φυσίν - η Μελίσσα - Των Εγγραφομένων Πολυγώνων Απάντων Εστί". (The title translates to "The circle is always the basis of the written polygons" or so.)

Τυμίχα - Tymicha (6th century BC). Thymiha, wife of Crotonian Millios, was (according to Diogenes Laertius) a Spartan, born in Croton. From a very early age, she became a member of the Pythagorean community. Iamblichus mentions a book about "friend numbers". After the destruction of the school by the Democrats of Croton, Tymicha took refuge in Syracuse. The tyrant of Syracuse, Dionysios, demanded that Tymicha reveal to him the secrets of the Pythagorean teaching for a great reward. She flatly refused and even cut her own tongue with her teeth and spat in Dionysius' face. This fact is reported by Hippobotus and Neanthis.

Βιτάλη - Vitali or Vistala (6th – 5th century BC). Vitali was the daughter of Damos and granddaughter of Pythagoras, and an expert in Pythagorean mathematics. Before Pythagoras died, he entrusted her with the "memoirs", that is, the philosophical texts of her father.

Πανδροσίων ή Πάνδροσος - Pandrosion or Pandrossos (4th century AD). Alexandrian geometer, probably a student of Pappos, who dedicates to her the third book of the "Synagogue". Pandrosion divides geometric problems into three categories:" Three genera are of the problems in Geometry and these, levels are called, and the other linear ones."

Πυθαΐς - Pythais (2nd century BC). Geometer, daughter of the mathematician Zenodoros.

Αξιόθεα - Axiothea (4th century BC). She is also a student, like Lasthenia, of Plato's academy. She came to Athens from the Peloponnesian city of Fliounda. She showed a special interest in mathematics and natural philosophy, and later taught these sciences in Corinth and Athens.

Περικτιόνη - Periktioni (5th century BC). Pythagorean philosopher, writer, and mathematician. Various sources identify her with Perictioni, Plato's mother and Critius' daughter. Plato owes his first acquaintance with mathematics and philosophy to Perictioni.

Διοτίμα - Diotima from Mantineia (6th-5th century BC). In Plato's "Symposium", Socrates refers to the Teacher of Diotima, a priestess in Mantineia, who was a Pythagorean and a connoisseur of Pythagorean numerology. According to Xenophon, Diotima had no difficulty in understanding the most complex geometric theorems.

Iamblichos, in his work "On Pythagorean Life", saved the names of Pythagorean women who were connoisseurs of Pythagorean philosophy and Pythagorean mathematics. We have already mentioned some of them. The rest:

Ρυνδακώ - Rynthako

Οκκελώ - Okkelo

Χειλωνίς - Chilonis

Κρατησίκλεια - Kratisiklia

Λασθένια - Lasthenia

Αβροτέλεια - Avrotelia

Εχεκράτεια - Ehekratia

Θεανώ - Theano

Τυρσηνίς - Tyrsinis

Πεισιρρόδη - Pisirrodi

Θεαδούσα - Theathousa

Βοιώ - Voio

Βαβέλυκα - Vavelyka

Κλεαίχμα - Cleaihma

Νισθαιαδούσα - Nistheathousa

Νικαρέτη - Nikareti from Corinth

There are so many women whose contribution to science remains hidden. We should strive to find out about more of them! For more information, check out the books of the Greek philologist, lecturer, and professor of ancient Greek history and language, Anna Tziropoulou-Eustathiou.

haha you women have it on easy mode if i was a woman i would love to get catcalled i would start an onlyfans why don't you want to do it it's easy money literally haha i would dress like a slut and get any job i want and i would walk into a bar and get free drinks imagine that i would sell my underwear i would yes haha

[kkoffin]

i’m so so so so so so so fucking sick of “women with a time machine: hehe i’m ur granddaughter” “women’s bathrooms: omg can i borrow a lip gloss” “women playing games: omg i get to have a kitty so cute” and some “epic” or whatever male counterpart to the meme SHUT UP SHUT UP WHEN ARE WE GONNA STOP PRETENDING THERE ISNT CRAZY AMOUNTS OF UNDERLYING MISOGYNY IN “women: lame, monolith of femininity and shallow thought - men: awesome badass crazy” I HATE THAT THIS STUPID MEME FORMAT IS SO COMMON AND NO ONE PICKS UP ON HOW MUCH MODERN MEMES HATE WOMEN

[lovelycranium]

Maybe this is a bit unrelated to the post, but I think meeting your grandmothers in their youth is crazy shit. Or meeting some very, very distant ancestor you didn’t even know about. Of course, we as people from the modern generation might seem crazy to them with our modern views, but I’d really love to know what my great-great-great-grandmother thought about and how she lived.

[externalthought]

also it's funny how they ridicule women basing on some daily, mundane things, while painting themselves as epic heroes in scenarios that will literally never arise. everyone can be courageous in a self-made script lmao

r/TheLezistance, the last lesbian gender critical subreddit got banned. I'm sure that the Reddit administration mistook it for one of the countless dykebreaking porn subs, maybe even one of those about women crying with empty eyes, or - could it be? - my favourite, r/womenareobjects?

no, it was once again the women only space, while dykesgonewild, sub meant for lewd lesbian photos, is getting flooded with pictures of dicks and cumstains, authors asking the general public if there are any lesbians that just loooove cock. the answer, more often than not, is yes.

in a place where people put fucking fruit emojis instead of words like rape or porn, you can browse a bit further and find places designed specifically for pictures of underage girls, rape fantasies and misogynistic delusions. all of this while we can't even have our one and only space to say what we think and how we feel. I've said this before and I'll say it again, even literal nazis don't get this kind of treatment, reserved for something that women want to keep only for themselves.

but surely, it's all just a one big coincidence, eh?

[externalthought]

may be a hot take but i think the fact women can access radfem content by just clicking a button that says 'yes im totally exhausted by the patriarchy trust me' is like. totally fine tbh. its a non-issue. i dont care if curious teenagers are looking at dworkin's books. they've been doing that for as long as free information has existed. id rather teens explore their critical thinking through works on the internet than rush into real life debates when they're not ready for it yknow. the social media are trying to put stricter misogynistic community rules in place (which in turn is becoming an online male-dominated nightmare) and like. for what. who is it helping. why is this a problem.

I know I sound like a scratched record at this point but I'll keep repeating myself bc I've been really mad about this stuff for over a decade now. Everything is pornified online. It has infiltrated everything.

I'll never get over what happened to my little pony. Men took over a piece of media intended for kids and companies just ran with it to make a profit. Adults with extra income can expend more on merchandise than kids with their measly allowances, I guess. "Oh, but it wasn't just about objectifying the characters, some men genuinely loved the show!" "The fans are mostly autistic and socially excluded. MLP is their special interest, you shouldn't be so judgemental, it's not a weird sex thing for some people!" and yet they failed to cull the porn addicts from their ranks. Don't "not every man" me about this. "They're fictional and they don't even look like actual horses" you people use this same exact argument to excuse men who draw explicit pictures of anime little girls. I've no sympathy for women who engage with this stuff either.

A very minthy christmas was one of my favourite movies growing up. I was 10 years old when friendship is magic came out and it didn't take long until men took over that. There was no space for little girls like me. Looking for MLP related stuff online would bring up artwork made by zoophiles ("oh, they weren't zoophiles! they're not attracted to actual animals, just like furries aren't actually attracted to foxes and wolves and whatnot!" "it's just a joke!" don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining, mate) and all manner of deranged content. I was an autistic little kid having to scroll past images of twilight sparkle having sex with some other pony. Even other children my age thought MLP was embarrassing because it became inextricably tied up to balding 30 year old men with weird fetishes. I didn't understand why people were doing those things, I didn't even understand what it all meant, because I was a CHILD looking up pictures of a CHILDREN'S CARTOON to print and glue to my bedroom wall.

Not once did these people think "are we taking over something intended for children and inadvertently exposing them to our perversions?"

The same thing is happening to those rape games. People are so selfish they can't see how their entertainment harms women and children. That's not "gay culture" or "autistic culture" or whatever the hell you people want to call it. Stop using minorities to excuse your goddamn fetishes.

Why am I supposed to feel sympathy for them? Am I supposed to feel sorry for the FedEx shooter because he was an autistic brony, too?

It's been years, the fandom isn't as big as it was then, but you still can feel their influence. I haven't interacted with MLP in ages. I can't introduce stuff like a very minthy christmas to my younger cousins because I know they'll google "my little pony" and come across the same type of content I did when I was their age.

It's really telling how people act like "think of the children!" is a conservative dogwhistle and nothing more. What the hell is wrong with these people? Wanting to protect my cousins from the shit I was exposed to online doesn't make me a conservative. I know what's out there. I remember elsagate. I remember what became of MLP. Roblox is a goddamn cesspool.

"Bronies" can go to hell. These days furries seem to mostly keep to themselves, but I know there's overlap between the two communities, so consider them on thin fucking ice as well.

[externalthought]

one of the weirdest rabbit holes I got into one time started with me looking up some things related to Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds, which led me to communities of young girls making coquette dolette edits of hitler and goebbels, then to profiles of actual nazis, and then... still to nazis, but so many of them had MLP characters on their pfps. They were even doing their own edits as well - I swear, I saw a graphic of Pinky Pie doing a roman salute.

I think it must give them some sort of perverted pleasure to fully consciously take something made for little girls and push them out of it, like drunk high schoolers deterring actual kids to use the playground. But it's not enough that they take it for themselves, they also have to piss everywhere, make little girls look at byproducts of their pornsick minds, while shielding themselves with autism like a bully who cries after hitting you. Autistic my ass, how many women do you know that do such shit? How many cartoons made for boys are famously taken away by fetishizing, middle-aged women, making it impossible for children to look up something related to Lego Ninjago or Bionicles without stumbling on some gore, porn, nazi shit or maybe a combo of all three?

[externalthought]

do you remember people telling Kendrick Lamar that he's too old for such high school level back and forth with Drake?

before anyone jumps me for comparing these two situations and not treating Lamar as a hero, have you noticed that he hasn't done anything about Drake grooming minors, until it became useful as an argument in a beef?

do you remember ironic tweets about Eminem's age when he was beefing with significantly younger MGK, telling him to settle down with his wife and not to entertain such things anymore? that he had his time and now it's embarrassing for him to do such stuff?

yeah, me neither.

man's age is his armour, proof of infinite wisdom and other bullshit, while women are still seen as vicious old hags by the time they pass the 35 years mark. why is that? funny how the whataboutism gets into its full bloom when a woman decides to raise her voice. what about women in Afghanistan then? why are you all posting such shitty takes when there's a whole sex-based apartheid taking place there? why is any of you doing anything while the planet is dying and women still experience FGM?

as someone who's grown up on Lana's music, I see and recognise harmful messages in her songs and behaviour, but I'll always support other woman's right to raise her voice about something that feels wrong to her. and if I'll see one more misguided soul whimpering about how she's too old for that shit and she's just jealous, then I'll get into some bilocation 101 to kick some sense into y'all's butts

Reclaiming these words is a male supremacy linguistic trick to make women participate in their own humiliation.

Let's not forget that by calling a man these slurs, you're basically shaming him for "acting female". You uphold the misogynistic belief that women have a certain way of acting and admit to finding it shameful. I don't remember anyone calling women dicks, or wankers? Anyway, "reclaiming" slurs is a tragic irony.
