almost. If he wasn't bald I would probably let him use the washing machine/stove while me and my spider watched gay hockey

its really funny how they have been making the exact same cartoon for literally 150 years (probably longer but the 18th century cartoons are harder for me to look up quickly)

its trite to even point it out at this juncture but a conservative’s worst nightmare is to be made to perform the exact same labor that he has been forcing women to perform for millennia. his worst nightmare is to be a “woman”, as he defines the class

[pommedepersephone]

The fact that moral panic about women having any autonomy always looks the same stands. And that the false dichotomy between "men" and "women" is damaging on an interpersonal level, because to be so dismissive of your romantic partner is just... You know the people who share this shit are miserable and have miserable relationships.

Couldn't be my queer ass. Imagine assuming I wasn't excited to have my bald man sit and watch gay hockey WITH ME.

the mormon church funds trandwife influencers and is beefing up its social media outreach capabilities by bringing in a lot of heavy hitter youtubers fyi. so when you start seeing more 'wholesome family content' over the next 18 months just know its part of a directed and organised campaign by reactionaries to culturally entrench large families and housewives who baby their husbands

I think about this daily

[gatheringbones]

really need everyone to hold out for a partner you don’t need to handhold through the bare minimum of what’s required for your care and handling

[gatheringbones]

see also:

recognizes and values your closest kinship ties and prioritizes their well-being

wants to take care of their own emotional well-being so as to give you room to tend to yours

values the time and space you have to rest/grow/stretch/expand, makes active choices in your shared environment to allow you more room and time for these activities

allows you to be wrong/incorrect/say things clumsily without pouncing contemptuously on the error

sees your ability to regulate your mood and health through regular meals and sleep/wakefulness periods as a priority

won’t self-destruct if the relationship ends and would never hold their own health and well-being hostage to extract closeness from others

There is absolutely no amount of time that passes after the end of the relationship where toxic divorced dudes are okay with their ex-wife dating again. And what is really weird is that they will apply this “you’re cheating even though the relationship doesn’t exist anymore”/“you moved on too quick” mindset to widows they don’t know on behalf of the dead guy. There is a strange but remarkably large portion of the straight guy population who believe women should only have one relationship in their entire life.

Jane Austen really said ‘I respect the “I can fix him” movement but that’s just not me. He’ll fix himself if knows what’s good for him’ and that’s why her works are still calling the shots today.

op how does it feel to be the most correct person on earth

the funniest thing about the tiktok tradwife craze is people learning financial abuse exists but like, as a hypothetical. "wait what if the relationship doesn't work out and you have nothing of your own and nowhere to go?" congratulations you figured out a common reason people remain in abusive relationships and why it's important to maintain some level of financial independence

[fandomsandfeminism]

It's important to remember this even if your partner is not abusive.

There are lots of reasons that a relationship might end (or should end, amicably, with no one at fault), but if one partner has no income, a big gap in their work history, and no savings....

and this, kids, is why alimony was invented. not as some kind of "revenge" against a partner who wronged you. but to protect generations of mostly-women who were faithful helpmeets until their man decided they wanted a younger model. and then those former-helpmeets found themselves with no money, no employment history, no credit rating, no job skills, and facing minimum wage scraping at fifty after a lifetime of putting dinner on the table and washing everyone else's socks. i bring this up because i hear often that we should do away with alimony, and i do agree that it should be re-examined in light of how the world has changed. but it should never go away until the world is such that any person finding themselves in that situation wouldn't be facing poverty and struggle in their twilight years.

I really like the word “smitten”. because at first glance you just think of sappy lovey-dovey stuff but also you have to remember this is a word that’s born of the word “smite.” a devastating word. a word that, summarized, means stricken. smitten means stricken as well — struck with devastating affection.

What I mean when I say "toxic monogamy culture"

the normalization of jealousy as an indicator of love

the idea that a sufficiently intense love is enough to overcome any practical incompatibilities

the idea that you should meet your partner’s every need, and if you don’t, you’re either inadequate or they’re too needy

the idea that a sufficiently intense love should cause you to cease to be attracted to anyone else

the idea that commitment is synonymous with exclusivity

the idea that marriage and children are the only valid teleological justifications for being committed to a relationship

the idea that your insecurities are always your partner’s responsibility to tip-toe around and never your responsibility to work on

the idea that your value to a partner is directly proportional to the amount of time and energy they spend on you, and it is in zero-sum competition with everything else they value in life

the idea that being of value to a partner should always make up a large chunk of how you value yourself
