I'm new to this whole thing @holdonimlearning - Tumblr Blog

here’s my #problematic opinion of the day but men talking about how much they’d like to commit violence against women they disagree with is always a sign these men are not committed to politics and instead would like a “moral” justification to abuse women lol

and when i phrase it like this, i feel it’s an easy sentiment to agree with. the thing is: this applies to all men and all women. i am not comfortable with leftist men talking at length how they would like to beat radfems. i am not comfortable with leftist men making sexually aggressive jokes about megyn kelly. i am not comfortable with any man making these comments for any broad range of moral justifications & i hate that we’re all willing to give these idiots passes to enact violence because it’s targeted against the proper ideology. it’s not about the ideology! these men just want to scare & harm women!

the patriarchy is so mask off right now it's actually fucking insane.

but when radfems say intercourse is a politicized act of aggression and dominance practiced on women by men to reaffirm patriarchy in the private and interpersonal, we're "crazy."

do you hate men or

well, I’ve never raped a man. never beaten one bloody. never trapped one in a relationship by making him fear for his life or the safety of his children. I’ve never killed a man for rejecting my sexual advances or burned down a house with a man in it because he broke up with me. I’ve never mutilated a man’s penis to prevent him from ever experiencing sexual pleasure. I’ve never thrown acid on a man as punishment for rejecting me or dishonoring his family. I’ve never broken a small boy’s bones to mold his body into a more aesthetically pleasing shape, essentially crippling him in the process. I’ve never bought or sold a man’s body. I’ve never advocated that men should be legally obliged to impregnate women against their will. I’ve never denied a man a career opportunity because of his penis.

so no, I guess I don’t hate men. certainly not as much as men hate women.

A new study from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai shows there is a gap between women and men when it comes to exercise.The findings

“The beauty of this study is learning that women can get more out of each minute of moderate to vigorous activity than men do. It’s an incentivizing notion that we hope women will take to heart.”

“Intriguingly, though, mortality risk was reduced by 24% in women and 15% in men.”

The research team then studied moderate to vigorous aerobic physical activity, such as brisk walking or cycling, and found that men reached their maximal survival benefit from doing this level of exercise for about five hours per week, whereas women achieved the same degree of survival benefit from exercising just under about 2 1/2 hours per week.

Similarly, when it came to muscle-strengthening activity ... men reached their peak benefit from doing three sessions per week and women gained the same amount of benefit from about one session per week. (...)

“Men get a maximal survival benefit when performing 300 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity per week, whereas women get the same benefit from 140 minutes per week,” Gulati said. “Nonetheless, women continue to get further benefit for up to 300 minutes a week."

"What are you going to do, have genital inspections to use the bathrooms?"

-a TRA

Males truly cannot conceive of the idea of simply respecting the space and boundaries of women. It literally doesn't cross their minds, so their minds immediately jump to whether or not women can forcibly stop them. The belief is that if a woman cannot forcibly prevent it, you may take anything you like from her with impunity.

“Do you really believe … that everything historians tell us about men – or about women – is actually true? You ought to consider the fact that these histories have been written by men, who never tell the truth except by accident.”

— Moderata Fonte, pseudonym of Modesta Pozzo (1555-1592). She was an Italian writer from Venice who wrote religious and romantic poetry. Modesta is best known, however, for the posthumously published The Worth of Women: Wherein Is Clearly Revealed Their Nobility and Their Superiority to Men (via hereticnarrative)

Men are lying to you about history

Look how they’ve erased women from medicine despite midwives and “sorceresses” being the women who understand childbirth, the human body, and herbs and medicines. They killed them then named fathers of medicine.

I rarely believe what a man tells, even if it’s a fun story. I might enjoy his storytelling, I might laugh at the jokes, but at the end of the day, I know men romanticise their stories (or completely invent them) because they want to sound adventurous. Believing a history written by men is akin to believing any other work of fiction.

I cannot recommend enough that you read The Worth of Women. It is such a refreshing piece of literature compared to the avalanche of rancid misogynistic texts that permeate history.

It used to be on Google Books but I can’t find it anymore. So here is a pdf of a book written on the topic by a Cambridge lecturer, it is a very instructive read on women and their condition at the time, but also of their fight for recognition and liberation from male prejudices. Know your history gyns, we’ve always fought back one way or another ❤

G-d, I love it when women start to come to their senses and realize that they have been lied to.

Men are just. Ugly. Huge noses, long faces, hairy jaws, bulging necks, balding heads, rough skin, drenched in sweat, unsettlingly huge and veiny hands… they’re like a slab of fucking meat. I wish I could find the post about how, when trying to appear as a woman, it really accentuates the physical ugliness of men. And it’s so true.

While I am admittedly attracted to the idea of a man, as in fictional characters where they can easily be drawn with more attractive features…

“Real” men look like a biological accident. A deformity. Something to be diagnosed by a fucking doctor.

So yes, I will always be able to tell a man from a woman, no genital checks needed.
