science experiment where trans women start talking about cis women the way cis women talk about trans women and see how long it takes for cis women to start getting really fucking mad about it

Not that I think all marriages are doomed but when deciding who to marry you should ask yourself “is this someone I’d want to divorce?” As in, is this someone I believe would be mature and fair, even when they’re upset and don’t particularly like me at the moment. Is this someone I could continue to trust while going through an adversarial process? And if the answer is no, don’t marry them.

Wow wtf HIV/AIDS was discovered by Flossie Wong-Staal, an Chinese-American woman, and she’s the reason the HIV test even exists. AND THEN she invented the molecular knife that lead to treatments for HIV/AIDS. And she’s STILL ALIVE. We don’t hear about the contributions of Women of Color enough, my word. Madness.

you can always tell a major breakthrough is made by a woman, a woc or any poc because it’s either completely ignored or never credited like it just happened by itself

i know that those miki/anthy/utena study sessions were annoying as fuck.. it warms my heart to imagine them. miki starts off trying to actually help utena and anthy learn prealgebra or geometry or whatever and utena is imagining edits of her playing basketball and anthy cheering her on (dead wife style) and anthy learned all of this like decades ago so is folding all of her homework into animal origami. but also miki is being like at least a little bit condescending about it && anthy already knows it and utena like generally understands it and doesnt need it broken down that much she just needs to practice it a little bit more. an endless supply of snails are slowly crawling out of anthys pencil case like a clown car and then utena leans wayy back in her chair and almost breaks her neck and then miki says well utena you aren't as graceful as miss himemiya but at least you aren't a whore like my sister and then utena says ok. eventually it devolves into miki having finished his homework already and he's doing like trig and precalculus and maybe calc 1 or 2 idk and then he just sits there and imagines anthy in place of kozue meanwhile anthy and utena are having a meaningless conversation and anthy drops an i only go to classes because that's what my spouse wants me to do and i am the rose bride. and utena responds you would skip school if i said it was fine (this is appealing to her(she is imagining hanging out with anthy all day instead of being in class)) and then she reconsiders and thinks well going to school is actually important so i shouldn't tell her to skip school. fortunately this moral dilemma is broken by anthy saying ill do your homework for you miss utena which is very appealing to utena because even though she's pretty good at math she is 13 and still doesn't really want to do it

One of many reasons why the Black Rose arc in RGU is one of my favourite things ever is because arguably on the metatextual level one of its themes is "what if these minor characters were somehow aware of their status as minor characters and resented being overshadowed by the Main Characters" (Wakaba even says as much) (not outright breaking the fourth wall, but leaning on it pretty damn hard). And I think this theme is especially blatant in Keiko's episode. Hey you know that girl with the pigtails from Nanami's posse? You probably never thought much about her, right? The protagonist doesn't think much about her either. The protagonist doesn't even know her name.

And then, after all is said and done, nobody remembers what happened and Keiko fades into the background once again. She wasn't ever meant to be an important player in this story. After all, it was just a filler arc.

the statement: "a legal theory was proposed in which trans women could be targeted without violating the Constitution because other women and other trans people are excluded from our specific oppression, which suggests that transmisogyny is real and that transmisogyny affected and exempted are meaningful categories for analysis of our material conditions."

the response: "you are sowing divisions in our community by saying this. everyone has to get on board to fix things, which will only happen if you stop bringing this up. you are crazy, paranoid, and confused and the more you talk about your problems, the more we'll blame you for the violence that's done to you."

[doe-eyed-disaster]

the smug condescension of a man who, upset that his privilege has been identified, asserts his male privilege knowing that a fair number of people will hop on board the "trans women are paranoid and divisive" train rather than interrogating their own biases and coming to the defense of more vulnerable members of their community.

the cherry on top was the tags, where he addressed the transfem he reblogged by name and said "I'm disappointed in you" as if she had done something wrong by sharing a post about her specific oppression. it's genuinely gross how trans women are treated so poorly so casually. how dare we speak?

[smedium]

And the original statement is really intersectionality 101.

In Crenshaw's original paper, the literal first example was a company that fired all the black women but successfully argued in court that it wasn't discrimination on gender or race because they kept the black men and the white women.

Changing the context from black women to trans women doesn't fundamentally change the applicability of intersectional theory, even while the specifics of the oppression may change a lot.

More medieval dyes for y'all!

[greatwyrmgold]

People in the past liked having colorful clothes, too! And the cost of (local) dye was pretty low compared to the labor required to spin fiber into thread, let alone all the other steps in making clothes.

Fascinating how what's considered feminine and what's considered masculine can change over time. The rebranding of being a horse girl into being a stereotypical feminine girly trait needs to be studied.

[partywithponies]

Look at classic children's novels. As recently as the 50s and early 60s, being obsessed with horses as a girl was depicted as strange and tomboyish, and the very concept of being obsessed with horses from early childhood and loving toy horses and desperately wanting your own horse being a "little girl thing" and not a "little boy thing" would send someone from the 1800s and earlier into a coma.

[partywithponies]

There's maybe a point to be made here somewhere about how when keeping and riding horses stopped being necessary to the functioning of society and became a more "frivolous" thing, it was rapidly rebranded as silly and girly and for women, but what do I know.

[dizzyghoast]

i wrote a paper in my masculinity studies class in college about this exact phenomenon, specifically about how high heeled shoes started as a practical way for Persian cavalry to keep their feet on their stirrups, then likely due to that association, became a popular fashion item and status symbol among the upper classes of Europe, before the Great Male Renunciation of the 18th-19th centuries, when men started shunning opulence in favor of utility, leaving them as a fashion item for women instead.

I've joked that the two genders are Aesthetic and Utility before but thats just kinda the case
