i will defend an annoying brainless female popstar over almost any famous male musician bc i know she's not using her fame and wealth to sleep with underage girls
there's no point in asking why certain things are stigmatized without mentioning who's being affected by the stigma. if you're gonna ask why there's period stigma you have to mention women and girls. because only women and girls have periods and misogyny is the reason why it's seen as disgusting.
The first dating app for lesbians is set to launch - using sex-recognition technology to exclude trans women and ensure only biological fema
Lesbian dating app to use facial recognition to exclude trans women from matching with biological females

The first dating app for lesbians is set to launch – using sex-recognition technology to exclude trans women and ensure only biological females can sign up.
It is the brainchild of feminist campaigner Jenny Watson, who says there are currently no dating apps which cater purely for women who want same-sex relationships.
The current crop of dating apps, she says, are increasingly being used by males who identify as female and who say they too are lesbian.
L'App will use facial recognition technology to verify a person as a biological female.
Ms Watson said would-be users will have to go through a process when they sign up where the app scans their face via their smartphone.

The software, which Ms Watson claims is 99 per cent accurate, analyses features including bone structure, the shape and positioning of an individual's eyes, eyebrows and nose shape or size. It will also be able to detect if a person is presenting a live image rather than just putting a photo of a woman up to the camera by detecting movement, blinking motions and heat emissions.
Tests have revealed that if someone tries to disguise themselves as a woman by putting on a wig or make-up, the technology will spot the deception.
Ms Watson, 32, a town planner, told The Mail on Sunday: 'There is no female-only dating apps at the moment. Lesbians need an app which they can use without being messaged by trans-identifying males.'
She said L'App had also been developed in response to many lesbians finding that they were being banned from existing apps if they dared to specify that they wanted to date only natal females. Speaking about her own personal experience, she said: 'Any time I've joined a lesbian dating app or any other dating app myself, I get banned.
'To avoid trans-identified males, I will always write a little blurb, nothing disrespectful, saying my preference is for women and please respect my boundaries.
'And every time I do that I get banned. On one app I was asked to put down my most controversial opinion, so I wrote that J. K. Rowling was right and was banned for that. It's insane.'
Ms Watson has previously campaigned to protect lesbian spaces, by hosting female-only speed dating nights. She plans to open UK's first single-sex lesbian bar.
She has been criticised as transphobic for excluding transgender women – which she rejects. Her launch comes as a court case is being heard in Australia over whether a trans woman can be lawfully excluded from a female-only social networking app called Giggle.
I tried to use this app when I presented as butch (butch seeking butch) and was rejected for looking like a man. My uploading identification didn't help. I don't think their facial recognition software works and as a rad butch for butch lesbian it was very disappointing that I couldn't utilize this.
for the last time being pro-choice isn't about whether or not the fetus counts as a person, it's about whether or not the government should have the ability to make you act as a life support incubation unit for nine fucking months.
Whether fetuses are people is debatable but whether women are people needs to stop being debatable, therefore supporting a woman's right to choose should be standard stance for human rights.
I hate when people consider me masculine because of my muscles (and the fact I enjoy lifting), because the vast majority of women throughout history were working class women who carried out manual labour. I still remember the size of my grandmother’s forearms back when she worked in the school kitchen - without the privilege of an electric mixer. Or the size of the women in paintings of Scottish fishing or farming communities. Or the descriptions of teenage girls expected to operate canal locks, pushing against the force of tonnes and tonnes of water.
The majority of women throughout history had to work manual, physical jobs, and had the body to match. If the majority of women throughout history had a physique you’d consider “masculine”, maybe you should re-consider your definition of “masculine”?
As a mother my children were incredibly heavy growing up and the environment I was in acted like no one should help women lift children. The environment also acted like the reason for why the world should be patriarchal is that only men should be lifting things. These directly contradict each other.
It is heartening to see the number of paternity leave programs increase across the U.S. and, as as recent study out of the University of California Santa Barbara reports, it is having a meaningful impact. In California, where paid-family leave was sanctioned by law in 2004, fathers are 46 percent more likely to take advantage of the option than before the law was enacted. However, researchers also discovered that men are significantly more inclined to take paternity leave if their child is male.
The study also reveals that “when the sample is limited to fathers married to employed mothers these gender effects become even stronger—fathers of girls do not respond to the policy at all…[Moreover,] the new leave policy increases joint parental leave by 58 percent if the infant is male, but not at all if the infant is female.”
So… studies show fathers are significantly less likely to take paternity leave if they have a daughter, significantly less likely to be present parents of daughters, significantly more likely to leave their relationship with their child(ren)’s mother if they only have daughters, and significantly less likely to request custody of or stay in contact with children from a past relationship if those children are daughters.
We have studies that show that both parents assign positive traits to crying male babies (”he knows what he wants,” “what a strong voice”) and negative traits to female babies (”she’s nagging already,” “she’s so whiny”), believe their male infants are stronger and more capable than female infants, respond more quickly to the cries of male infants than female infants, are less likely to let a male infant “cry it out”.
We have studies that show that mothers are more likely to focus on maintaining their health and doing things to support a pregnancy with diet (eating healthy and more, taking prenatal vitamins, quitting unhealthy habits) when they are pregnant with sons than when they are pregnant with daughters, breastfeed sons for longer than daughters, and more.
No one prioritizes daughters. Not even their mothers. Just… no one. Not trying to be like… “but moms do it too” or some shit, because they don’t to the same degree that men do at all. I’m just feeling incredibly hopeless over how much all of society hates women and girls.
I wonder if mothers who are raising kids under a patriarchal hierarchy have a different margin between their treatment of female vs male children compared to non patriarchal mothers who are themselves the head of the household?
For everyone complaining about how these two can get arrested and it won’t affect their careers, you’re right. It most likely won’t hurt their careers. That’s why they keep going out and doing it. They’re using their platform to their advantage. They’re both white, of an older generation, and famous enough to be recognized. They’re holding their generation accountable and making an effort to show up and enforce change. This isn’t them advertising a TV show or some bs, they’re there to help
If she had her at 16, she was very likely impregnated at 15. The details about the well-connected family are also worrying. If they're willing to protect him over the child he raped, they'd be willing to allow her daughter to be victimized too.
He abused her knowing the legal system, through his shady intimate contacts and enabling family members, would protect him. They protect HIM, a child molestor and obvious abuser, and strip a woman of her parental rights, then triangulate and turn the child against their own mother. The most psychologically nefarious form of abuse that will absolutely cause her to fear for her own and her child's life.
