I saw a ted talk video on youtube called something like "have you ever met a monster?" where a woman who used to be a journalist talked about the story of a serial rapist who she'd interviewed and apparently encountered in the elevator at her work once. The overall message was about how helping children who are being abused can prevent further abuse in the future, because that serial rapist had been sexually abused by his father and no one bothered to help him. And like, yes what he went through was horrific, but it really speaks volumes about just how dehumanized women are in men's eyes that a boy who underwent the torture that is sexual assault, could grow up into a man who saw inflicting that same torture upon women who never did anything to him as a viable outlet for his rage

The vast majority of sexual assault victims are women and most perpetrators of sexual assault are men. Despite being disproportionately targeted, women rarely inflict the same violence they’ve experienced. Funny how that works huh

[scum-advocate23]

It’s crazy when the dominating control of men over women and the grip of patriarchy is put into another perspective/context, you see just how much weirder it sounds to hear libfems endorse and defend such behavior with their dying breath!

Keep it critical, Keep it pushing !!!!

The ariana grande eating disorder dilemma is really exposing societies hypocrisy.

[jaehyurb]

All society does is speculate, assume, bully and pressure fat people about our weight but once it’s someone dangerously thin yall dont wanna do the same thing? Once its someone dangerously thin yall wanna talk about how body shaming isnt okay? okay lol because yall have terrorized fat women of every and any size for decades. Yall cannot and will not be able to have this conversation about ariana grande without having to talk about how absolutely rank yall treat fat women. Because it has literally only ever gotten to this point bc yall normalize extreme thinness in the name of health, that it is only a conversation when she is getting to eugenia cooney levels of scary, bc many people three years ago were saying the same thing about ariana, that she is becoming thin in a concerning way, and the tooic went nowhere. Why? Because SKINNY PEOPLES BODIES ARE OFF FUCKING LIMITS FOR SOME REASON AND FAT BODIES ARE FAIR GAME.

You say you don't want a male gynaecologist once and here comes 20 women with a perfect angel male gyno from heaven who healed their medical trauma left from a previous female gyno who laughed cruelly in their face while putting chainsaws in their pussy

That has to be the most humiliating way to describe one of Earth's most terrifyingly effective predators.

tbh if booktok romance novels keep even one young woman out of a relationship with a gen z man because she realizes she'd rather read smutty books and jerk off than deal with dating within her peer group every single cringey cover and quote are completely absolved

“The LEGO Movie was my favorite movie of 2014, but it strikes me that the main character was male, because I feel like in our current culture, he HAD to be. The whole point of Emmett is that he’s the most boring average person in the world. It’s impossible to imagine a female character playing that role, because according to our pop culture, if she’s female she’s already SOMEthing, because she’s not male. The baseline is male. The average person is male. You can see this all over but it’s weirdly prevalent in children’s entertainment. Why are almost all of the muppets dudes, except for Miss Piggy, who’s a parody of femininity? Why do all of the Despicable Me minions, genderless blobs, have boy names? I love the story (which I read on Wikipedia) that when the director of The Brave Little Toaster cast a woman to play the toaster, one of the guys on the crew was so mad he stormed out of the room. Because he thought the toaster was a man. A TOASTER. The character is a toaster. I try to think about that when writing new characters— is there anything inherently gendered about what this character is doing? Or is it a toaster?”

MEN ARE SHIT.

I wish I had the post on hand, but there was a DM who decided to change all the male NPCs in a pre-written campaign to female, and the players were convinced that something terrible must have happened to all the men in the game, because why are all these NPCs women??!

"having to show ID to watch porn is such a huge invasion of privacy!!" you are watching a woman get fucked for money.

[glitter-soda]

Let’s ignore the morality of porn for a hot second and just think about how stupid the entire concept is. You have to show ID to buy things meant for adults, like cigarettes and alcohol, show ID to get into places meant for adults, like clubs and casinos, but having to show ID to watch hardcore sexual content meant for adults is crossing a line??
