why are we so obsessed with pretending like the patriarchy doesn't benefit men. why are we so obsessed with erasing the fact that men don't want to fight against the patriarchy because they don't want to lose their privileges. like what does this fucking willful ignorance and pretending everything is sunshine and rainbows going to do with the global femicide rate and increasingly invasive laws against trans women and their transitioning and the fact that women are next to never believed when bringing allegations forward against a man and instead are slandered far and wide and in some cases even psychologically tormented in the press. what is pretending going to do about the fact that women get paid less than men, women are blamed for it when men stalk and assault them, there are still places where girls aren't allowed to go to school? like what the fuck is pretending that men don't benefit from the patriarchy going to do about all of that other than lead you through the tall grass and ignoring the real issues here????

immediately after an interaction: i have GOT to get more normal oh god i need to get more normal immediately i have to get more normal or they're going to hunt me down they're going to hunt me down and flay me for sport

during an interaction: and why not put a little spin on it? why not add some conversational zest?

Young women are also struggling in today's world under stress of capitalism, never ending physical and emotional labor, individualism growing into a bigger and more prevalent anti social society with rising isolation and loneliness but they are still out there trying to romanticize their every day life, daring to be cringe and putting in work to show up for their girl friends and men are just online seething and making Ai porn and radicalizing themselves into believing ethnic minorities are trying to control them and that the earth is flat

the most infuriating thing about being a radical feminist is that no matter how clearly and politely you state your beliefs and principles, other people will simply ignore what you wrote and make up their own ideas of what you said.

Going out drinking feels so good when there's aren't any men outside

It is crazy how much misogyny has been legitimized by the notion of men being the rational sex. Their batshit insane ideas pulled straight of their ass to justify the oppression of women was built on the idea that men were soooo smart and rational and infallible and till today that shit lives on and I hope to see in my life time that fucking idea just DIE AND ROT. I hope we will look back at that with the same confusion as when we learn that people thought lead could cure illnesses.

Men like to bring up how they have on average shorter life spans as some point that women must have it better and it's always funny bc whenever there's been some kind of change to make the public, work spaces or private homes safer men have always been mad as hell about it. Like let's not forget men lost their minds when the seat belt was introduced, drunk driving became illegal, helmets became obligatory and thousand more examples like I am not gonna lie my own theory to why men on average have shorter life span is probably related to their own mental gymnastics and thoughts of grandeur bc they are thought they are the stronger and rational sex ...like how majority of them think they could land a plane in an emergency situation even though they lack any piloting experience

It is so tiresome to constantly be mindful how you call out sexism in the work space bc you dont want to get a reputation for being "dramatic" or "sensitive" which impacts your career and pay progression while also dont want to lose your soul and be complicit in these shit systems... and it's gotten so much worse now after the Amber Heard public witch hunt. I have so many thoughts and theories about how misogyny on all levels of interactions and in all spaces has become significantly worse since then

Funny growing up in the late 2000s and seeing constant "don't text and drive" warnings, PSAs telling us to put our phones down behind the wheel, wait until you're home to send that text, a phone-distracted driver is a deadly driver etc etc

Only for modern car manufacturers to be like "we made the car a phone :) now you have to text and drive to change the radio station :)"

[happyhelios]

Used to be stressed about not being seen as polite till I realized the bar for what considers polite of me is much higher than the average man bc I am a woman and I look quite young and therefore it's a massive crime against ethics and morality if i dont bend over backwards for literally every human being ever

I did not know people held such strong resentment towards Kikyo ... all really can't handle a real baddie with a complex character and motivations huh not first time but certainly disappointing nonetheless
