Europeans slowly burning in the inferno built by centuries of their continent's financial power and genocidal gluttony: 'no, the only solution is 10 billion more AC units'.

#Canada too

it's not even that jkr isn't a general transphobe as well, obviously she is, but the frequency with which a trans woman talking about transmisogyny and how it harms transfems and using that specific language to describe that specific phenomenon is immediately translated to "transphobia" and "trans people" when it reaches a wider audience is like. idk you can't stop noticing it once you do. why are you so uncomfortable with the idea of talking about women and centering them in the conversations that they start

Listening to the radio while they report on the SCOTUS ruling yesterday that states can ban specifically trans girls and women from girls/womens sports programs. The people they interview: a trans boy with his cis mother and a trans man. The trans man says one of the things that hampers progress is "no one talks to us." Idk man the radio station didn't talk to any trans women, they talked to you, a trans man. Seems like they are pretty willing to talk to you and not the people this ruling actually directly affects.

It is not surprising but still disappointing that with insane heat killing people in Europe, Africa, and India, the fact that it's happening in Europe is what's mentioned the most

"The USSR was so oppressive they didn't even have tropical fruit" hey quick question why is tropical fruit so readily available in the US. WHY IS TROPICAL FRUIT SO READILY AVAILABLE IN THE US.

quickly now: how did Florida and Hawaii come to be part of the US empire

richard-fucking-feynman

We got Florida in an agreement with Spain. That’s not really that interesting or controversial. It’s not even where the ToT started—that was Georgia.

Hawaii and most of the Southwest though…

1. How do you think Spain acquired that territory?

2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seminole_Wars

Seminole Wars - Wikipedia

The US fought multiple bloody wars of extermination in order to solidify its colonial hold over Florida. I realize this isn’t discussed as much as the Trail of Tears but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Every inch of land the US ever acquired was gotten through violent conquest at some step along the way, whether through the fellow colonial powers it payed for the acquisition, direct conquest, or the later maintenance of that acquisition

off topic maybe but the reason human trafficking conspiracy theories are so far removed from reality is actual human trafficking operates in a way that is more socially acceptable than most want to acknowledge. there is an overlap of "human trafficking victim" and "adult or child whose wellbeing is more likely to be disregarded by law enforcement and peers alike"

not feeling safe at home is just such a visceral violent thing and if you’ve ever experienced that I’m really sorry, you’re brave and strong and it’s gonna be okay

a bra and a hijab are the same thing in many ways

anton--rayne

Hijab is not much different from many different hair coverings which used to be extremely common throughout the world. All of those had their own religious connections with them. Hair coverings were often a tool of both religion and "modesty", the loaded gendered concept. Nowadays it's most commonly associated with Islam therefore it strikes out as Abnormal. A bra too serves the same purpose, yet its considered the "acceptable" tool of Modesty with no loaded baggage whatsoever while Hijab is the "backwards" tool of modesty with Evil Baggage. The same concept, when it's Muslim racialized, is Backwards and Violent, yet the violence of the bra, because it is accepted among White people too, is acceptable and invisible

anton--rayne

Can you imagine if tomorrow wearing a bra was seen as completely backwards, but nothing else changed socially for women, yet the new policy was to force women to take their bras off in public? What, that sounds like the wrong way to go about it to you because it would be humiliating and misogynistic? Now lets apply that humanity to other people's cultures

anton--rayne

No, they aren't. Hijabs can be worn inside too and they often are. Women are also expected to not be braless always so even if a woman has taken other clothes off she's expected to keep something close to bra on in contexts where a man can be topless, though that point doesn't relate to the post?

hamjensgar

this is actually a good analogy lol, reminds me of the curb your enthusiasm episode where larry buys a bra for his housekeeper. i think the responder in the tags there meant that while a hijab is visible from the outside a bra is not always visible underneath other clothes. what i would point out is that the absence of a bra often is visible (especially when wearing a tight shirt or something where the nipples are visible through the shirt) and this is viewed as lascivious/inappropriate/etc in many contexts, whereas in others it is entirely normalized. this is different even in the US vs many places in europe.

also idiots in the comments claiming a bra is different bc its functional, hair coverings protect your hair from the elements (you should see my long carly hair after riding with the windows down in a car), they keep it clean for longer, they can keep you warm, provide UV protection, list goes on

i know you dummies would never say some shit like “hats arent functional” but your brain short circuits when the hat in question is associated with Islam, proving op’s point
