Singular they is a placeholder pronoun. It would make sense to call a werewolf "they" if you don't know their sex.

Reminds me a talk I had with some Jordan Peterson hater. I repeatedly asked for the examples of him being a “gateway to Alt-Right” and all I got were paragraphs about how he is Evil. After several requests I FINALLY got a clip... of some guy with a hedonistic approach to life... not even really criticizing Jordan but trying to offer an alternate philosophical path.

Twitter literally has no proper search function for old posts, you have to scour them manually, Rowling praised people who literally called for every trans person to be murdered, I don't know how she could be more transparent for you people.

journeymanpoopsmith

Who did Rowling praise that called for people to be murdered?

For a “freedom” convoy they sure ain’t respecting OTHER people’s freedom to move about and live their lives

under-the-arch

Wow “move about” and “live their lives” sure would have been nice if the government had been respecting everyone’s freedom to do that over the past 2 years. Hey I wonder if that’s why the truckers are there?

Still not over this.

1. Biden isn't a progressive, neither are his supporters.

2. Do you think quality is so rare among ethnic minority women that it takes a political stunt to elect them to high offices? If not, why hasn't it happened to this one yet?

cheshireinthemiddle

1. Most people who say they're progressive actually arent.

2. You clearly (perhaps intentionally) misunderstood. He did not choose the best candidate because he limited himself to only women who arent white. This is no different than only choosing from white males. He did it for favorability, rather than for what was best for the country.

Equality is choosing the best candidate, without favoring or rejecting people based on things like race and sex. "Progressive" thinking is that discrimination is fine, as long as it benefits their preferred groups.

Had he instead chosen to not discriminate in deciding on who gets the position, he would have just been called out merely for choosing a bad running mate (Harris has a huge record of being against the groups she claims to support...as does Biden).

3. Me stating that he shouldnt have picked her based on her sex and race (and thus inherently excluded others for those same traits) does not mean that i think only white men could possibly be best for the job. My criticism is that he inherently limited the pool of candidates, not based on ability (or lack of it), but for traits they were born with. Which means he very well could have passed up the best person for the job, in order to seem "progressive".

It was pandering, and unfortunately, it worked.

There have been 115 Supreme Court justices, elected over 232 years. Has not a single minority woman who was worthy of that position lived over the course of that entire duration?

journeymanpoopsmith

Sotomayor is a Latin woman on the Supreme Court but she's incompetent.

cheshireinthemiddle

Has JK Rowling said anything about trans men? Because it seems her comments are more about how she doesnt like men and sees trans women as men. (No one is really talking about all of the misandry she post).

If she sees trans men as women, then she doesnt seem to have too much problem with them.

journeymanpoopsmith

What has she said that is so egregious? The thing I saw her say that people were freaking out about was something like "women shouldn't be made to call the man that forced his penis inside her by she/her pronouns if the man identifies as trans". Seems 100% reasonable.

Therapists reinforce the cult of individualism by imposing responsibility for all a woman’s problems on the woman herself. As long as women can be sold the myth that our problems are the result of unique and individual human experiences, we will be powerless against the social conditions that create madness. We must recognise that it is not we, but society’s definition of us, that is pathological, and we face real problems generated by real social tyranny.

How fucking embarrassing for anyone who infantalizes themselves this way

I’m so glad I got myself better after people abused me instead of just being so pathetic as to say I can’t and should not take care of myself like an adult

emeraldmercury

Actually isn’t it abusers who tell you to blame some external factor for all your problems to make you feel powerless and rely on them forever?

alaija

Abusers are also known for blaming their actions on external factors, not themselves.

Did she almost gain self awareness and then decide “No, my therapist is wrong”?

siryouarebeingmocked

This book came out in 1975, BTW.

“Therapists never, ever say a woman’s issues stem from external locii of control. Women are never diagnosed with PTSD or some other trauma-related issue. Women’s issues are all a result of societal misogyny.”

Sounds like Dr. Williams needs to chat with a therapist.

For multiple reasons.

‘cult of individualism’

I’m pretty sure just on that alone she was a bit too far gone already.

journeymanpoopsmith

What about women who get anxiety attacks taking public transportation? She might get upset over small, crowded spaces but therapy could help her. The world will not accommodate everyone's desires but therapy can help people deal with the world.

if you sexualise/romanticise the relationships between the boys in The Lord of the Rings, then you clearly don’t understand that Tolkien is portraying brotherhood, the importance of friendship and, ahem, Fellowship, and what masculinity should look like.

Tumblr: It’s so disgusting how Western culture won’t let men express affection or emotional vulnerability without saying they’re gay.

Also Tumblr: Legolas and Gimli, Frodo and Sam, and Merry and Pippin are all clearly gay couples.

Tolkien: watches his school friends die horribly in WWI, feels immense guilt for the deaths of the “lower class” men put in his command and writes a series of books where this time the friends live and the true hero is a working class character who gets to come home in the end

Tumblr: there is literally no heterosexual explaination for this

apollopleasant-deactivated20260

Just a reminder that Tolkien was also deeply Catholic so “queer” relationships are not in his works as that is counter to his religion. His works deal with the bonds between people who have fought and suffered together to become like family.

Christianity in general often refers to fellow believers that worship together as brothers and sisters, which is what Tolkien tries to convey.

Tolkien wants to show the deep, sacrificial love between companions that has no need for romance.

Tolkien’s works were also NOT racist. His usage of light and dark was not a reference to races, but to good and evil that have often been represented as light and dark. It’s important to note that in Christianity light is associated with truth, knowledge, and goodness. Not “whiteness” or whatever else.

Darkness in Christianity is often looked at as a symbol of giving into evil’s corruption, not race.

Tolkien explicitly HATED racism and elitism, even sending letters to the Nazi party mocking and degrading them.

In short, if you claim Tolkien’s works are racist then you are ignoring the symbolism in them that is commonly used literature and the religious context around them.

If you claim there are “queer” characters in Tolkien’s works you are wrong because you directly ignore the author‘s intent and religious significance he has woven into his works.

You are under no obligation to agree with Tolkien’s views, but claiming that he was racist or supported LGBT+ themes in his works is wrong and he would be the first to tell you so.

lesbiandeancas

here they are straight up reblogging a post saying it’s wrong to call Tolkien’s characters “” “” “queer” “” “” with scare quotes because he was Catholic and catholicism is homophobic aldjalkfjajjfdk THIS IS INSANE YOU’RE ALL INSANE and you have no idea how reading/literary analysis work

also Tolkien definitely had gay sex so jot that down
