““She had stayed a virgin so she wouldn’t be called a tramp or a slut; had married so she wouldn’t be called an old maid; faked orgasms so she wouldn’t be called frigid; had children so she wouldn’t be called barren; had not been a feminist because she didn’t want to be called queer and a man hater; never nagged or raised her voice so she wouldn’t be called a bitch … Evelyn wondered; why always sexual names? And why, when men wanted to degrade other men, did they call them pussies? As if that was the worst thing in the world. What have we done to be thought of that way? To be called cunt?”

Over 500 likes for a fetish riddled misogynist giving his fascinating insight into womanhood after taking wrong sex hormones for a month. The women who support this trans/gender ideology BS need to wake the fuck up. These men are not women, they aren’t your allies, and you are only hurting other girls and women by playing handmaiden to them.

Tims are digging up old misogyny that’s barely buried. Men used to commit their wives to mental institutions if they stood up for themselves. Now men are sitting behind keyboards tweeting “uwu I have hysteria” after injecting themselves with hormones. Women should be, and need to be, pissed off about the way things are going.

In December 1938, over Christmas vacation, physicists Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch made a startling discovery that would immediately revolutionize nuclear physics and lead to the atomic bomb. Trying to explain a puzzling finding made by nuclear chemist Otto Hahn in Berlin, Meitner and Frisch realized that something previously thought impossible was actually happening: that a uranium nucleus had split in two.

"Children who feel they cannot engage their their parents emotionally often try to strengthen their connection by playing whatever roles they believe their parents want them to. Although this may win them some fleeting approval, it doesnt yield genuine emotional closeness. Emotionally disconnected parents dont suddenly develop a capacity for empathy just because a child a child doea something to please them.

People who lacked emotional engagement in childhood, men and women alike, often can't believe that someone would want to have a relationship with them just because of who they are. They believe that if they want closeness, they must play a role that always puts the other person first."

Note, I am finding these threads on the twitter feeds of ICU nurses who are now dreading the horrors that Roe falling will bring to their hospitals. This, on top of the horrors that they’ve seen and continue to see because of the pandemic. They were already exhausted and hanging by a thread.

The women in pornography are real women. Real women who are humiliated, physically hurt, spat on, tortured. They matter. Their pain, emotions and the abuse of their bodies, matters.

[cunicular]

Porn is NOT ‘just fantasy’, the degradation and abuse in pornography happens to REAL WOMEN. We know you’re so pornsick you can only see them as object, so here’s your wake up call.

Just a tiny sample of examples of the way porn influences sexual expectations

^^In reference to the last article, the 4 things girls “must” learn: Act like you want it, don’t worry about your bod (…right), dress sexy, introduce dirty talk.

I’m getting super bored with the people sending me asks saying that “everyone knows that porn isn’t real”. In many of these articles, the author cites porn as an instruction manual that can be used to convince women to perform degrading acts for men’s pleasure. I worry so much for the generation that has been raised on this shit.

“Seemingly benign drugs can also be contraindicated for women. For example, it’s common knowledge that low-dose aspirin therapy is helpful to reduce the risk of a first heart attack because aspiring acts as a blood thinner and anti-clotting agent. However, that benefit has been observed only in men. In women, the reduced risk of a first heart attack from aspirin therapy did not outweigh the increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, and other bleeding disorders. Yet so many women and their doctors assume, once again, that because aspirin therapy is helpful for men, it must also be helpful and safe for women.”

Most drug companies do not test on women, despite numerous laws requiring such. Heart Disease is THE NUMBER ONE biggest killer of women, it affects men and women differently at every level, including symptoms, risk factors and outcomes. But only one third of cardiovascular clinical trial subjects are female and only 31% of cardiovascular clinical trials that include those women report results by sex, according to the report.

But as noted in the article and as evident as anyone trying to discuss sex-differences anywhere, researchers don’t want to acknowledge ant differences between men and women.

“It’s taboo in some circles to suggest that we’re genetically different from each other, and yet we are,” researcher Tamarra James-Todd says. “Sex is a biological construct. There are sex differences between men and women, and how those differences manifest and what happens, from a genetic level to how the body operates, is different.”

Pretending gender and sex are the same, changing male to female and vice-versa on medical information and pretending it's completely the same is not only harmful, but could kill you.

When it comes to health research, large gender gaps limit how much we know about the difference between women’s health and men’s

Within patriarchal culture, the girl who does not feel loved in her family of origin is given another chance to prove her worth when she is encouraged to seek love from males. Schoolgirl crushes, mad obsessions, compulsive longings for male attention and approval indicate that she is rightly pursuing her gendered destiny, on the road to becoming the female who can be nothing without a man. Whether she is heterosexual or homosexual, the extent to which she yearns for patriarchal approval will determine whether she is worthy to be loved. This is the emotional uncertainty that haunts the lives of all females in patriarchal culture. From the start, then, females are confused about the nature of love. Socialized in the false assumption that we will find love in the place where femaleness is deemed unworthy and consistently devalued, we learn early to pretend that love matters more than anything, when in actuality we know that what matters most, even in the wake of feminist movement, is patriarchal approval

I hate this new woke idea that sex is a form of labour. The fact that it's gaining traction everywhere in the media, in scholarship etc is making me want to vomit.

Cause here's the thing. If sex is labour and consent is purchasable, then rape becomes nothing more than a case of unwanted chores or wage theft. If the idea that sexual access is buyable becomes normalized, then the logical conclusion to rape cases would be to pay the victim whatever rate the average brothel sets for intercourse.

If the fundamentally private aspect of sex is dismissed, if sex is divorced from personhood and packaged for commerce, then the trauma of unwanted sexual interaction becomes invisible. Then child sexual abuse is on the same level as an unpaid after-school job. (Actually had a professor at uni argue that on one of my essays)

I dont know where I'm going with this anymore, I was gonna end on some summary phrase about how we all know that prostitution is a form of rape, and here we have a line of thinking that would turn rape into a form of prostitution, but I'm tired and can't articulate well. Bottom line is this is messed up on all conceivable levels and the fact that it's seen as progressive makes me want to build a guillotine

[apostle-of-artemis]

It's crazy that "women's bodies are purcheasable" is now a progressive take. If renting a woman's body to get yourself off is woke, then being woke makes you garbage.

[maleexclusionarymale]

An actual gender nonconforming man

Doesn’t use porn

Doesn’t use sexist slurs like b*tch, c*nt, and sl*t

Doesn’t support/practice bdsm (or any kind of domineering sex)

Doesn’t support the sex industry in general (strip clubs, prostitution, etc.)

Isn’t violent

Doesn’t act entitled to women’s time, energy, or space

Treats women and girls like human beings

Notice that none of these things have to do with how much makeup he has on or what kinds of clothes he wears or whether he’s able to cry in front of others. A guy who happens to wear eyeliner and skirts can still very much conform to masculinity if he acts like a jackass towards women and other males he wants to dominate.

[radgoblin]

What in the absolute fuck? What is wrong with men?

[femsolid]

Men hate women. That’s what misogyny literally means. One of the only way men manage to tone this hatred down is by focusing on the end goal: using women’s bodies as a sex object. It’s the only reason they play nice. Think about how men behave when they start flirting with a woman and how they completely change the minute they are turned down.

So once they’ve reached their goal and the sexual urge is temporarily gone, there is no more barrier to diffuse the hatred, because there’s nothing they need from a woman at this point. All that is left is their true feelings towards women which is anger, rage, contempt and hatred.

The key element here is that the woman is smiling after the intercourse. Which was not part of the deal. Men see sex with women as an act of domination, destruction, degradation. If she smiles afterwards, meaning she’s doing okay or even had a good time, then he did not manage to hurt her, to put her in her place as was planed. Think about it: he just had sex with an inferior creature that he wanted to colonize, yet she responds as though he actually offered something to her. How dare she? It makes him want to kill her.

[pusheen-the-radfem]

this is literally it. its funny because I have a literal horde of internet children after me calling me a misogynist because I described the way straight men view women as ‘fuck-cattle’. am I wrong? when you see shit like this on the daily, men stating it out in the open, like am I actually wrong?

bar from the fact that some people’s reading comprehension is so low they can’t tell the difference between someone calling a group of people a name vs. pointing out that that’s the way someone else sees them, I completely stand by my choice of words. it upset you? it made you viscerally uncomfortable? fucking good. because that is how men see women, and they show this to us every single fucking day. maybe you need something shocking to jolt your system out of complacency to understand just how much men hate us and how low they value our contribution (literally that of a fuck doll, to be treated like a trade-able posession- sort of like cattle).
