this is a side blog because i want to give my opinion about politics without it interfering with my fandom feed :P. if you have something to say to me do it respectfully or you won't get a response I try to stay as respectful as possible to everyone regaurdless of political affiliation and I'd like y'all to do the same.

[unknowncaptain]

Okay guys this is kinda important. GQ just came in the mail and for the first time in a long while it had a really important article…

I just sat here for like the last half hour reading this and I’m incredibly appalled at our justice system in regards to the military. The article interviews about 23 men who have all been sexually assaulted in some branch of the military. The PTSD from sexual assault in the military is more prevalent than PTSD from combat…

If you have a chance I suggest reading this article…and the title is a quote that one of the victims Doctor told him…

[unknowncaptain]

Hey guys! I’m very impressed and extremely happy to see this post gaining a lot of speed over the last few days! A few people have requested it, so i’ve gone ahead and scanned the pages of the article for those who want to read it, to read. 

So, here it is!

[fuckyeahbiguys]

Wow. Very powerful stuff. I’ve had quite a few friends from back home enter the military and this is never something we bring up in discussions. I’m glad it’s garnering more attention. 

[buttons-beads-lace]

Some quotes:

“The moment a man enlists in the United States armed forces, his chances of being sexually assaulted increase by a factor of ten. Women, of course, are much more likely to be victims of military sexual trauma (MST), but far fewer of them enlist. In fact, more military men are assaulted than women— nearly 14,000 in 2012 alone.”

“Military culture is built upon a tenuous balance of aggression and obedience. The potential for sexual violence exists whenever there is too much of either.”

“Trent Smith, Air Force, enlisted 2011: “He was a senior aide— he had a direct line to the top. Being invited voer to his house, I just took it as I should go. Looking back, I as myself, Why didn’t you do anything? It wasn’t like he held me down or tied me up. I didn’t want to cross him. I really didn’t feel like I had any choice. I had just turned 19. It could be my career. I froze and went along with it.”“

“Rsearch suggests that the military brass may have conspired to illegally discharge MST victims by falsely diagnosing them with personality disorders. “The military has a systemic personality disorder discharge problem,” write the authors of a 2012 Yale Law School white paper. Between 2001 and 2010, some 31,000 servicepersons were involuntarily discharged for personality disorders. It is likely that in many cases these were sham diagnoses meant to rid the ranks of MST victims.”

“Jeremy Robinson [name changed], Army, 1970-1972: “I have very little memory of my time in the psychiatric ward, because I was so heavily drugged. I stopped eating. I became suicidal, and I made three attempts. They gave me shock treatments against my will. The diagnosis was paranoid schizophrenia. I bore that label for forty years before the VA finally admitted they had misdiagnosed me.”“

“Above all, MST victins keep quiet because they do not believe their attackers will be punished. And they’re almost certainly right. The conviction rate in MST cases that go to trial is just 7 percent. An estimated 81% of male MST victims never report being attacked. Perhaps it should astonish us that any of them do.”

“Mike Thomson, Marines, 1997-1999: ”I wasn’t “afraid” to report it— I was ashamed and disgusted. Guys aren’t supposed to be raped. I didn’t want to tell anybody about it. I didn’t want to say anything.”“

“Men develop PTSD from sexual assault at nearly twice the rate they do from combat. Yet as multiple research papers have noted, the condition in men is egregiously understudied. This is because so few men tell anyone. Those who do often wait years; many male participants in therapy groups are veterans of Korea and Vietnam. At Bay Pines’ C. W. Bill Young VA Medical Center in Florida, the country’s first residential facility for men suffering from MST, the average patient is over 50 years old at admission.”

So GLAD the word is spreading!

How to talk about really important issues without derailment

[traveling-spartan]

I feel the need to point out that current policy in the Army has made this far, far less of an issue than it was decades ago when these cases happened. We get trained on and lectured to on SHARP (sexual harassment assault response & prevention) until we’re sick and tired of it and our leadership is blue in the face from talking about it. It’s made very clear the effect it has on the whole unit, that either gender can harass or assault either gender, all our resources and options are laid out, and the legal policy for having a report filed against you is zero tolerance; and so severe, that we’re now more worried about good Soldiers having their careers ruined by a completely false accusation, because even if you’re exonerated the complaint stays on your record.  I have never once in my 15 months of service thus far been told a man cannot be raped. My drill sergeants, crude as they were, took it very, very seriously, and urged all trainees not to do anything that could land us in that kind of trouble, male and female alike.

history classes when going over the holocaust: -goes over how horrible it was-

history classes when going over what happened what happened to people who lived under communism in the Soviet Union: uhhhhhhhmmm the US had a space race with the Soviet Union hahaha

[nutsacktorturer]

The Soviet Union is a treasure trove of art, technology, and culture as well as being a relatively peaceful superpower when compared to the US. If you want to focus on atrocities look look at your own country and what they're still doing

[generallemarc]

Tell it to the victims of the Holodomor. Or Kaytn Forest. Or Chernobyl. You wannabe Holocaust deniers disgust me.

[misshorrorotaku-deactivated2024]

Wasn’t Chernobyl a reactor meltdown???

[knight-of-vengeance-deactivated]

Yeah, fuck Tankies, but accidents happen.

[satansyoungerbrother]

They we're testing how it ran with something off, right? Didn't realise it was under stress, less coolant water got to the fuel, and by the time they realised it was too late? That's mostly right, right?

[knight-of-vengeance-deactivated]

I think so.

[sindri42]

Chernobyl went off specifically because the Soviet government built it in the shoddiest manner possible. No other reactor meltdown has come anywhere near the same level of damage, because every other country that has ever built a reactor did it in a way that was not fucking retarded.

Anyway the peaceful superpowers don’t generally murder 20 million people in under a decade for being politically undesirable.

[alaija]

“... relatively peaceful superpower when compared to the US. “

Only if you ignore conflicts with China, the military occupation of satellite states in Eastern Europe, an invasion of Hungary, an invasion of Czechoslovakia, the Berlin Blockade, the Cuban Missile Crisis, another conflict and near war with China in the late 60s, a proxy conflict via Vietnam and Cambodia, attempts at neo-colonialism in Africa and the Middle East, the invasion of Afghanistan,   and I’m just sticking to what was after WW2.

Did someone miss the lesson on the USSR wanting to have a global Marxist-Leninist revolution?

[ricwulf]

"The Soviet Union is a treasure trove of art, technology, and culture"

By the same standard, so was Nazi Germany. The only difference is that Nazi Germany is (rightfully) looked down upon with hate.

Also, lol at the soviet union being a "treasure trove" for techology. Their ingenuity is iconic for being relatively makeshift and of shoddy quality.

[humanfreedomextremist]

[jesussaysno]

I don’t get the man one ?

[alwaysbewoke]

the entire series is focused on stopping all abuse

the man here has his mouth covered up by a woman wearing a wedding ring. meaning he is being abused by his wife. of the men i’ve known and spoken to about being abused by their wives, one of the common ways wives will try to “make up” for the abuse is literally with money. fucking crazy sad shit but women who abuse their men (bf or husband) also believe us to be super materialistic and so they can just buy us. i could go on but i don’t want to. it’s too fucking gross. 

this is clearly pedophila in the catholic church. a profoundly evil act that is is primarily aimed at little boys. 

this is child molestation in the black community that tarted little black girls overwhelmingly. usually by a family member and usually a male family member with candy being used to buy their silence. 

and this is an abused wife. the hand is male wearing a wedding ring. similar to the wife abusing the husband, an attempt to buy silence happens with flowers, candy and jewelry being the common gifts.  

i respect that this artist (a woman i believe) covered such a wild range of abuse even the ones we don’t talk about. 

[kittiesatemypronouns]

I think that’s a dripping anatomical heart in the flower, too. :(

[layingdownsomebatfeets-deactiva]

Still don’t get the man one tbh. Is there an epidemic of rich women beating their husbands?

[kittiesatemypronouns]

I honestly don’t know. I am not familiar with the phenomenon, but knowing that male-on-female domestic violence vastly outweighs the reverse, I had to assume that it was included because otherwise she would have caught hell for it. I mean, apparently it does happen, so…

[layingdownsomebatfeets-deactiva]

Male violence against women and children is at actual epidemic levels. I know a few men who have suffered violence at the hands of female partners and it’s awful and unacceptable. But they were also all in a position to 1) leave and easily survive and/or 2) if they hit back would very much be able to stop the attack. As in if they hit back the woman would be ko’d. I’m not saying female on male violence is ok I’m saying it isn’t a ‘thing’ in the way the others are. 

[femaille]

Agreed. Men have the means to leave abusive relationships much quicker than most abused women do (if ever).

[libertarirynn-deactivated202006]

Fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you

[slumberinggirl-deactivated20210]

Okay bitches listen up

Male abuse victims are just as fucking important as female abuse victims

If a man hits back, he is the one accused of violence, even if it was in self defense. Because “men can’t be abused” fuck that

Men feel that if they’re honest about their abuse that they’ll be ridiculed and seen as less than a man

Men are afraid to come forward about their abuse because no one will believe them.

If a woman hits a man, it’s because “he did something to upset her,” “he probably deserved it,” “hes over reacting,” y'know, the same shit women are told.

Not all men have the means to leave an abusive relationship. If they could, do you think they’d stay? Being a man doesn’t automatically mean they have financial stability.

So fuck you if you think male abuse victims don’t matter. Fuck you if you think men can’t be victims of abuse. Fuck you if you try and diminish male abuse victims. Fuck you if you ridicule men for talking about their abuse and seeking help. Fuck you if you patronize men who can’t escape their abusive partners. Fuck you if you act like male abuse victims aren’t a real thing.

Fuck you if you try and act like men can’t be just as vulnerable as women, and that their struggles don’t matter. Fuck. You.

[myfirsturlwashellacringy]

a former male friend of suffered years of psychological, emotional, and physical abuse at the hands of his girlfriend. Note: He was a large guy (a good 6'1, pretty muscular, and knew about fighting from past years of his dad teaching him some moves he had learned from martial arts training from when he was young)

Now, his girlfriend was a measly little bitch (I know it’s bad to throw around that term “Its so harmful to women blah blah” she was barely human, and I dont even think she’s worthy of being considered a “woman” so I’ll call her what I like for this story) barely scraping 5'3, not a muscle on her, the bone and body structure of a 12 year old. You may be thinking “I get how she could abuse him mentally, but how on earth could she physically abuse someone who could easily put her through some drywall” the answer: People like y'all.

This worm of a human would slap and punch him in the face as hard as she could, hit him in his groin, kick him in his bad knee (he broke when he was younger and it never quite healed right); stab him with things like crochet needles, forks, her nails, small eyebrow scissors, etc. If she was mad at him she would put allergens in his food (He was lactose intolerant to a pretty bad degree and would get horrible stomach aches, cramps, digestive problems, and nausea if he consumed dairy) so she would put regular milk in his coffee instead of the lactose free milk he drank, as well as regular dairy products in things like desserts she would bake, soup, smoothies she would make him; Anything she could hide milk, cream, or cheese in without him noticing.

Again, some of you might be thinking “Why didn’t he catch on, fight back, leave, etc” Well, I’ll tell you why: It’s because he was not only a victim of abuse who was regularly told he was loved by his abuser, despite all the abuse, but he was also a victim of a society which regularly told him that he was not a victim of anything. He was larger than her, smart, financially stable, and everything you think would be needed to magically “Get out and survive” as you say.

She made sure he didn’t fight back, she would tell him things that no person should be told, like how “she wish she was the man in the relationship so she could rape him”, or how she could kill him and he wouldn’t be able to fight back without her telling her father he was beating her, to which her dad would promptly “Stab him in the neck”; she told him he was useless, pathetic, weak, and “nothing but a dick for her to ride”. After all these things he would still not leave, ya wanna know why?

Because after she was done, she’d tell him she loved him, that he didn’t have to worry about talking about his interests with her because she loved hearing about them, how he didn’t have to worry about crying in front of her because she wouldn’t think any less of him. She would speak of their future and her amazing laughs and smiles she would share with him, she would comfort him when he was sad and tell him everything he wanted to hear.

And that’s how he didn’t “escape and survive” for 2 years, and tolerated endless abuse. He finally left when his brother-in-law invited him and his “girlfriend” to his house to play games and hangout for 4th of July. Unbeknownst to the maggot, his BiL had security cameras around his house from a former break in, and those same cameras caught her punching, kicking, and swinging at him with a metal knife-sharpening rod (I don’t know what they’re called but they’re the heavy ass metal ones the chefs use) because he said that he wasnt comfortable with her driving after she drank the whole night.

His BiL promptly kicked her across the room as she was hitting him and got him locked in a room and her out the house with threats of the police. It took a solid 3 weeks of slowly opening up to his family, telling stories, ignoring berating texts and calls and threats from her, and having to move all of his stuff out of their shared apartment in the 6 hour window she was at work because he was genuinely terrified she would show up.

Endless nights were spent having panic attacks, nightmares, being coaxed into getting therapy and counseling, and finally admitting to himself that he had been abused. And after that, was a flurry of him trying to get acceptance.

Almost every domestic abuse counselor was marketed to women, as well as meetings where he was the only man in the room; people assuming he was gay and had to have been abused by a man, or that his girlfriend was a martial arts master or other countless ridiculous things instead of just accepting that he was a victim of domestic abuse by a woman, as a man.

Does the domestic violence against women outweigh the violence against men? From the studies, most likely. Does that make either violence easier, more acceptable, less traumatic or less debilitating? Fuck. No.

So, in conclusion, men can be, and are being abused. Is it different than female abuse? Yes. But poisoning someone’s drink is different than poisoning someone’s food, but it is still poison. So get y'alls heads out of y'alls asses and help men instead of spouting a bunch of shit at them to make yourself looks like the bigger victim. Say “Our cases are different, but are both traumatic and painful, and I will do all I can to help”

To ALL domestic abuse victims. You are strong, you are truly loved, and there is help out there, no matter where in life you are. Never hesitate to message me if you need to talk.

[slumberinggirl-deactivated20210]

Great addition.

And I forgot to add to mine, please don’t be afraid to message me if you need or want to talk about your abuse. Male, female, doesn’t matter. Everyone needs someone to talk to, and I’m willing to listen. ❤️

[punishedcrow]

this video is an appropriate addition here

https://youtu.be/Ue7U2hdNz2I

so if i’m not being clear enough fuck every single one of you that think men can’t suffer from abuse, can get away much easier, FUCK YOU!

abuse can happen in ANY relationship. straight, mlm, wlw, ANY! so FUCK ANYONE that thinks that any type of abuse is dismissable.

[slumberinggirl-deactivated20210]

true crime is becoming to girls what ww2 is to boys

[yakultic]

relevant twitter meme

[rojav]

It’s kinda different tho bcus most boys who know too much about WW2 are also like closet Nazis. Or at least just obsessed with violence. Girls into true crime don’t actually want to become serial killers themselves.

[amarretto-cowboy]

“Closet Nazis” ? How?

[chadette]

I only date boys who know too much about WW2 because the media has shoved so much revisionary bullcrap down our throats—specifically pertaining to Nazi ideology—in order to push agendas. I can’t stand being around some dumb fuck who says “whoa that guy says crime statistics and the word ‘degenerate’, closet Nazi”. No Kyle, he’s just a racist. Or an edgelord. Probably not even a racist.

Nazism is a niche German populist ideology that only like 5000 Westerners (plus a lot of anti-Semitic Muslims) unironically follow.

[mr-downer]

Not that I’m blaming you bruh but why the fuck do people take popular funny posts and spout some bullshit to ruin them? Aye I know a shit ton about ww2 because it was my thing back in high school and I never once nor never will identify with nazi ideology lol like a lot girls who are in the true crime community wanna fuck school shooters and serial killer clowns while I’ve never seen anyone profess their desire to raw dog Hitler but you know what now that I said that I’m sure someone just is gonna tell me just that

[chadette]

Discussion about Nazism is inevitable on a funny post which mentions ww2… it’s sad, but not gonna pretend I don’t enjoy it. Anyway, it’s almost like the more you learn about Nazism, the more you realize it’s fucking stupid and it benefits no one. Unless you’re a leftist learning about Nazism in which case you get an existential crisis from how much you have in common with them. You both want socialism, you both want to eat the rich, you both want to scapegoat “”privileged”” demographics for society’s problems and give them less rights. You want Adolf to bone you now.

This is why your “everyone with right-wing views is a closet Nazi” ppl are scared of those who actually know their shit about history. Naturally they call WW2 fanboys Nazis, it’s a social hysteria tactic against everyone who scares them.

[mr-downer]

I agree with everything you said but why did you make me read the sentence “you want adolf to bone you now.”

[papalseagull-deactivated2020082]

i will personally burn you for implying that christians are systematically persecuted go to school

Hi! Perhaps a little lesson would be good here.

The first Christian to be persecuted was Christ himself. They literally killed him for what he taught.

Christianity was illegal for the first 300 years of its existence, until Constantine was like “O wait that shit’s dope I wanna do that too.” In that time, Christians were regularly tortured, beheaded, stoned, burned alive, drawn and quartered, and – in a word – persecuted. There are records of that, both in the Bible and in historical texts. Take your pick of which you would like to look further into, and do that, please.

Some time in the fourth century AD, king Athanaric of Terving decided to kill some Christians. This one was called the “Gothic persecution” because he specifically targeted Goths that had converted to Christianity.

In the year 516 AD a Jewish warlord in Yemen by the name of  Yousef Asa'ar decided that all Christians must convert to Judaism or die. When they refused, he killed about 20,000 Christians.

During the Roman-Persian wars, Christians were persecuted by Jews and by Persians. This one had a death toll of about 17,000 Christians. 

During the mid seventh century, Christians living in areas governed by sharia law were banned from spreading their faith by threat of death. They were also forced to pay higher taxes; those who could not do so were required to surrender their children, who were then sold as slaves. Christian men were not permitted to marry Muslim women, but Muslim men were allowed to marry Christian women. 

If we jump to the 14th century, we see massive persecutions committed by Tamerlane. This became known as the Assyrian genocide, where at least 20,000 Christians were killed. 

In 17th Century Albania, Christians were forced to pay higher taxes than non-Christians, leading them into poverty where they were then unable to afford basic necessities, like, oh, you know, food.

The French Revolution was accompanied by the dechristianization of France, wherein clergy were deported or killed, churches were desecrated and pillaged, and public worship and religious education were outlawed. A law was passed in 1793 that made it illegal to be or harbor a priest who had not sworn off his ordination, by penalty of death.

Christianity has been illegal in China since the late 17th century. This one’s still going on today. We see “Catholicism” rising in China, but the “priests” and “bishops” are hand-selected by the Chinese government, who then tells the Church to ordain them. If that doesn’t reek of state propaganda and suppression of religion to you, I don’t know what will.

In Japan in 1614, the Tokugawa shogunate decided they’d had enough of Christianity in their country. They ordered the expulsion of missionaries and execution of converts. Naturally, the Christians didn’t like that. A young Japanese Christian,  Amakusa Shirō Tokisada, led the Shimabara Rebellion in 1637. When the Hara Castle fell, the shogunate’s forces killed 37,000 Christians. They put Amakusa’s head on a spike at Nagasaki for public display.

And now we’ve reached the “Modern Era.”

Between the years of 1843 and 1847, Kurdish and Ottoman forces killed over 10,000 Assyrian Christians, and sold thousands more into slavery. During the Bulgarian Uprising and Russo-Turkish War, over 15,000 non-combatant Christians were killed. 

The Hamidian massacres occurred between 1894 and 1896. In these, the forces of the Ottoman Empire targeted Armenian and Assyrian Christians. It is estimated that as many as 325,000 were killed. Another 546,000 people were made destitute by deportations and destruction of farmstead towns and villages. Unarmed Assyrian women were raped, tortured, and murdered. 

The Young Turks government of the Ottoman Empire apparently wanted in on the fun. This resulted in about 3.4 million deaths, including 1.5 million Armenian Christians, 750,000 Assyrian Christians, 900,000 Greek Orthodox Christians, and 250,000 Maronite Christians between the years of 1915 and 1921.

The Bolsheviks wanted to remove the influence of the Russian Orthodox Church, so they promoted atheism and intentionally murdered 500,000 Christians during the 20th Century. 

When the Soviets took over, they continued the slaughter. It’s estimated that the total number of Christian victims of the soviets is somewhere from 12 million to 20 million. 

In Mexico, the Christero War occurred because of persecutions. (When the Soviet Union opened an embassy in Mexico, the Soviet ambassador was awed at how closely the Soviet Union and Mexico resembled each other.) From 1926 to 1934, the number of priests in Mexico dropped from 4500 to 334. These remaining priests needed to be licensed by the Mexican government. The ones who were no longer able to serve had either emigrated, been expelled, or fallen to assassination. 

Let’s move on to “the present” (the last 30 years or so).

It is estimated that over 100,000 Christians are killed annually because of their faith. The World Evangelical Alliance estimates that over 200 million Christians are denied some fundamental human rights solely because of their faith. Paul Valley (a Rabbi) states that roughly 80% of all acts of religious discrimination is directed at Christians, despite them making up only 33% of the world’s population. 

There is a Christian non-profit organization that publishes a “World Watch List,” which is a list of the 50 countries most dangerous for Christians. North Korea, Afghanistan, Somalia, Sudan, Pakistan, Eritrea, Libya, Iraq, Yemen, and Iran are the top ten on 2018′s list. 

Sudan and Iran still implement the death penalty for apostasy (converting from Islam to Christianity, or even secretly practicing Christianity without openly professing a conversion).

British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt published in May of 2019 that Christian persecution in the Middle East is “arguably coming close to meeting the international definition of genocide, according to that adopted by the UN” due to extremist groups and failure of state institutions to protect their citizens. 

From 2011 to 2013, over 150 Christians have been kidnapped for ransom in Egypt.

Despite making up only 5% of the Iraqi population, Christians account for 40% of the refugees living in nearby countries. 

You may not remember, but in 2017, Isis took a group of Christians and beheaded them, one by one, on video. They expressly stated the people were being murdered for being Christian.

But no, you’re right. There definitely hasn’t been systematic persecution of Christians. I must be imagining all of that.

Thank you for illuminating the dim recesses of my narrow mind and worldview.

[machetelanding]

This is what happens when dumbass people get bored. “Does a Boy Scout have to be a boy?” Well, yes, actually, they do, because it’s called the Boy Scouts. If you’re a girl and you want to go into scouting, join the Girl Scouts.

[anxiett-deactivated20200602]

The activities in Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts are completely different though. I think they should keep Boy Scouts boys only, and make a new program that is just for girls but does the same activities as Boy Scouts.

[hastysmartposts]

They do. They’re called Venture Crews.

From the Venture Crew website: “Venturing is an inclusive program through the Boy Scouts of America for males and females aged 14-21 (or 13 and completed the 8th grade)”

I’m an Eagle Scout and spent a lot of time working with the various Venture Crews. They were pretty equal in male to female numbers and they were pretty much using the Boy Scout rubric, with minor tweaks here and there. The solution to girls in the Boy Scouts was solved long ago but nobody acknowledges it.

[coolmanfromthepast]

[gaycathy]

I don't see why people are mad about the BSA allowing girls in. The only problem I would have is if they made it Co-Ed but it isn't. There are boy troups and girl troups. I think it's great that girls are in scouts because Eagle is a great opportunity and looks great on a college application and job resumes.

Let girls shoot for eagle they deserve the opportunity too.

I can definitely agree with this

[not-safe-for-democracy]

[gamer-crow-deactivated20250412]

I seriously read that as an ICE thing until I got to the bottom.

The US is Nazi Germany.

[moi-ennepe-deactivated20251213]

you realise that the Jews living in Germany in the ‘40s were just living there and weren’t people who had immigrated illegally? if you want to criticise USA’s treatment of immigrants, please do but this absolutely not the same thing

[bi6money]

No person is illegal and all the treatments of immigrants currently at the US border is racially motivated in much the same way the same way. If your only argument against this comparison is that these immigrants are “illegal” then you need to look at your morals

[desertmoonx]

I respect your opinion but I have to disagree. Of course, a human themselves cannot be illegal, but they most certainly can immigrate somewhere illegally. It is violating a federal law and subjects a person to consequences (obviously nothing cruel or unusual, and there are definitely problems with that right now, as mentioned).

Laws and borders are placed for good reason, to protect the citizens of a nation. Citizenship and laws help to prevent chaos and help constitute and maintain a country. To argue that these things are inhumane and that they should be done away with for the sake of allowing everyone in doesn’t make sense to me. As much as I wish it weren’t the case, there are a lot of bad people out there who wish harm upon others and it’s of the utmost importance to prevent them from being allowed to act on their actions and preserve the safety of the people of a nation.

That doesn’t mean no immigration at all; of course, folks should be able to move to different a country and be granted citizenship if they so desire. I’d just like to see it done correctly. Albeit I know that can be quite difficult, and I do quite hope for more reform for that in the future.

[gaycathy]

Another huge difference between now and Nazi Germany is you didn't see Jews supporting the Nazis actions. I come from a family of Mexican immigrants, we came here legally, we support deporting illegal immigrants. I know tons of Mexican people who also support this

[why-bless-your-heart]

One of the problems at the border is that children are being trafficked (sometimes even purchased from their parents), by people who then claim to be their rightful guardians and that's something y'all really need to keep in mind when the media is sobbing about children being ripped from their families by heartless ICE agents. We're trying to sort out the actual family units from the victims and their traffickers, which is hard when children have been threatened and abused and terrorized into not being able to identify themselves as victims. Some of y'all don't seem to really understand the depths of evil to which the cartels descend, and while I hope you never need to encounter it, it's a reality you have to be aware of.

And the reason the mother wanted John The Baptist dead was because he had the audacity to point out that sleeping with her brother was both immoral and against their laws.

Finally!

The “it’s because of hypermasclunine expectations not being met” horseshit was getting on my last nerve.

There isnt a single suicide note talking about it being because they weren’t 6'7" 300lbs, solid muscle, and crushed beer cans on their head.

Tell someone from a young age that they’re the problem and they need to be “fixed” while offering little help outside of dismissal and condemnation isn’t a recipe for success. People would have known this if they spent all of 5 minutes honestly discussing mens issues.

Hell, not to mention a near complete lack of resources that are geared towards men. 

It’s been known for fucking decades (hell, probably closer to a century) that mental health resources are geared towards women. Now, the reasons behind that might be a sexist part of history, but the fact remains that as a result, men have no resources that treat men as men. The vast majority of resources treat men like they’re broken women, completely ignoring the fact that men and women have different thought processes and ways of processing information and feelings. We’re not just raising boys as defective girls, we’re actively trying to fix broken boys by treating them as defective girls.

The reality is that we’re letting down men in multiple ways. It’s not just the constant derision, dismissal, and condemnation. It’s compounded by the fact that after all that there are virtually no resources set up to help men, and a massive boost to that would be a societal effort to fix that last point in the image. It’s without a doubt the most damaging out of all of it, and would have the most beneficial change for all of society, not just men.

Let’s just keep talking about “toxic masculinity” and victim-blaming men, that’ll help.

Conservatives: If you’re a girl you wear skirts. If you’re a boy you wear pants. Liberals: If you wear skirts you’re a girl. If you wear pants you’re a boy.

What does this mean

(This is actually good art but it serves the point)

[that-awkward-side-sweep-deactiv]

Thanks but I still don’t get it. I’m a bit stupid.

[juxtapoesition]

Ultra conservatives tend to enforce gender roles while liberals tend to equate gender roles to gender

Straight girl pegs her boyfriend makes her "queer"??? They literally eqaute not being straight to fetish. How incredibly progressive

[vladtheunfollower]

a Queer pioneer. Don’t erase him...

[gothswiftie69-deactivated202102]

there’s nothing queer about being straight with a fetish.

[sapphic-schizo]

equating men who like anal with being “queer” is totally not homophobic : )

yikes

The P doesn't stand for pansexual, it stands for pegging

[baby-bears-blog]

I cringed so hard just reading that....

[bi-kisses]

I'm gonna fucking throw myself off a cliff. Queer means fucking NOTHING anymore to these people. It's literally just 'im a sexual deviant hhhahah!' like do you fucking remember when we were trying to convince the cishets that we WERE NOT sexual deviants and just, y'know, regular people enjoying life?

I bet racists gonna hate this
