no i dont think women starving themselves and reconstructing their entire faces with makeup and plastic surgery is feminism and female empowerment

i’m like if a man and a woman had a baby and it grew up in a tumultuous society with undiagnosed mental disorders and unrestricted internet access

[hbmmaster]

for me the thing about pointless internet debates is that I used to like them when I was younger, but it was because I thought everyone was engaging them in the way I was ("here's a question without a meaningful answer! isn't that interesting? let's spend some time discussing why there isn't an answer") before I accepted that no a lot of people really do have a strong opinion on the definition of "sandwich" or how to pronounce "gif". the most common way to engage with them is to develop a strong gut-reaction initial opinion on the topic and then just stick with that until the debate stops trending. it's frustratingly uncommon to actually learn anything about why the ambiguity existed in the first place.

like idk this might just be me but I think learning about differences in perception or how some words are impossible to define is just more fun than getting performatively angry about it

[hbmmaster]

maybe if the lesson everyone took from the "is a hot dog a sandwich?" discourse was "creating an exact definition for a word that works in all contexts is almost always impossible" instead of "classification is an easy and intuitive process and any time someone tells you that your simple definition doesn't cover all cases they're probably arguing in bad faith" then maybe people could have applied that lesson to the "what does woman mean?" discourse and the internet would be better for it

This shoulder stretch birds do is called a warble in old-falconry-speak. There. That is now a thing you know. Call it nothing else ever again.

oh but when i do it it’s called being autistic

[asterosian]

Red flags in women:

- thinking only men are capable of abuse

- thinking that rape is something only men are capable of

- thinking trans men are actually just lesbians in denial and need to be shown it’s okay to be a lesbian

- thinking trans men are gender traitors

- insert every red flag that has nothing to do with gender here

- accusing people of misogyny every time they call out the ways she’s bigoted towards a marginalized group she’s not a part of

[genderkoolaid]

If I may add:

- casting suspicion on any man who says he's been abused by a woman, saying he probably did something to deserve it

- making "if your boyfriend does [x normal thing], that's your girlfriend" type jokes or otherwise saying that boyfriends have to be masculine traditional men to be dateable

i don't know what younger person needs to hear this, but it is so valid to not want to drink alcohol at all, or to only want to drink very rarely. don't let others pressure you into joining in with those societal rituals. it is an outrage how normalized drinking alcohol is, to the point that those who choose to abstain are constantly forced to justify their private choices, be publicly questioned about what led to these choices or excluded from activities altogether. you do not ever need to justify your reasons for this. there are absolutely valid and important reasons to not drink, and nobody has a right to know your personal reasonings.

guys you weren’t ugly 10 years ago you were just literal children

[ulibeanzz]

everyone in the notes asserting that children can be ugly, i know u think you’re being cute but you’re really not. like what the fuck is wrong with you? it’s nothing short of heinous to assign (often sexualized, always bigoted) standards of beauty to fucking kids, especially young girls, who should be focused on literally growing up. i’m not laughing
