it is so fucking exhausting and annoying how white women, including and maybe even especially in progressive and leftist spaces, continue acting like they are not themselves still beneficiaries of tremendous privilege simply because they endure sexist or misogynistic discrimination. being a woman does not excuse the fact that you are still white and you still reap the benefits of being white! you do not get to "but sexism!" your way out of being held accountable for saying and doing racist shit!
never forget that WHITE WOMEN owned slaves, it was WHITE WOMEN who gatekept the womens' suffrage movement, WHITE WOMEN who not only participated in but also organized segregationist protests to harass and threaten children of color like ruby bridges, WHITE WOMEN who weaponize both their whiteness and their womanhood to threaten the safety and lives of black and brown people, WHITE WOMEN who had their own sect of the KKK, WHITE WOMEN who lied about black and brown men to get them murdered by lynch mobs, WHITE WOMEN who had significant influence in the eugenics movement, WHITE WOMEN who are just as complicit in settler-colonialist violence as white men are, WHITE WOMEN who receive preferential treatment to black and brown people of all genders seeking jobs and housing and education, and WHITE WOMEN who proclaim themselves to be the arbiters of feminism while forever ignoring the struggles of black and brown women and talk about white womanhood as if it is universal.
so forgive me but i am sick and tired of hearing about how WHITE WOMEN have it bad when WHITE WOMEN withhold their allyship until they can be certain that supporting the liberation of oppressed groups will benefit them in some way and are just as guilty of doing this as white men are.
and it's WHITE WOMEN who are going to see this post and ignore it like they always do, that is, if they don't add unnecessary paragraphs of "well, actually" full of logical fallacies and outright misunderstandings of how the fucking world works...
a white woman caused the tulsa massacre, one of the worst incidents of racialized violence in US history. the destruction of the black wall street, an entire town, schools, churches, homes, all fucking destroyed because of a singular white woman. most likely based on a whole fucking lie.
white women repeatedly tried to throw black people under the fucking bus in pursuit of their rights. not just cis straight ones either, queer white people have habitually done that. if i listed all the black people killed or jailed due to random claims by petty white women i'd be here for hours, and that doesnt include all the indigenous people they have also harmed. white women still to this god damn day habitually use their position within this white supremist ass world to get black people harrassed, fired from jobs, killed and more. they infantilize themselves and play the victim card so fucking often there is a fucking name for the phenomenon "white women tears".
and none of this shit is exclusive to fucking republican voting white women, i've watched hella "progressive" white women do the "white women tears", ive watched hella "progressive" white women say derogatory shit about black people particularly black women. ive watched white transwomen dogpile and rumor mill bullshit about black and indigenous people on this fucking site for even suggesting something they did was racist. we have seen how white women have thrown around the accusations of brown people in x y or z fucking nation are just so used to being misogynist to shut down criticism for fucking decades on live god damn tv. the worst part is black people have been literally righting books , stories, and giving lectures on this for atleast 200yrs and white women have no bothered to fucking read a word of any of it.
Not only was it a white woman crying that started those riots, it was the police department who helped her by deputizing the racist white mob, and this was just after Greenwood started to advocate against police racism. A white woman cried and it was used as a justifiable cause to punish and crumble an entire black community that still hasn't recovered. If the survivors weren't dead, they were left destitute and living in tents. A single white woman can be a hazard to an entire black community for generations to come.
So as someone that lives in Oklahoma and has heard from accounts of people who either are old enough to remember stories briefly after this event or had family members who were present at this event - this event was started because it was a way to destroy Black Wall Street.
Tulsa had one of the most successful regions in the entire us for Black people, North Tulsa/Black Wall Street has never fully recovered from this event and I can say this as someone that drove through this area frequently and still does.
This woman was used as an excuse to start this massacre, and my understanding is she did not particularly go out of her way to dispute it either, it was not to sell newspapers - it was to completely destroy this section of Tulsa because it was very profitable for Black people. I have grown up hearing about tensions building for quite some time and white people were looking for any opportunity to take away this wealth from Black people.
I need to be very clear about this because of the amount of damage caused - there are demographic maps of Tulsa separating it into the four directions and when you look at North Tulsa the life expectancy drops by at least 10 years. Not only that but the state of Oklahoma for the most part is still actively denying this event, denied any reparations to any survivors, and even if we have somebody in their hundreds that was a survivor from this event - they are not acknowledged and they are in a constant fight for recognition.
I don't know what your sources are but if you are thinking this event happened just because of racism in the want to sell newspapers, you are misinformed and you need to be aware of the importance of the location this event happened.
you know its fine for things to be weird, right. like it actually doesn't matter that much if something is abnormal. there isn't a moral weight to being abnormal. you understand that, don't you? because a lot of people will never be "normal". and there will, because of how humans as a social group work, always be a concept of what "is" normal. there will always be some kind of "normal" and some people will never be able to be "normal". it's not morally bad to be weird. it's not meaningful at all. weirdness just is. we all know that, don't we?

I should be doing more to appreciate the lack of marvel movies in today's popular culture. I once yearned for marvel movies to have this level of irrelevance. They used to feel almost ozymandian, like an empire that had no beginning and no end. and now tony stark iron man is naught but two vast and trunkless legs of stone.
There was a whole ass Star Wars movie that premiered last Friday and it got overtaken by a million dollar horror film on the following Wednesday, nature is healing.
Growing up non american but with US media and later US centric social media the meat consumption just feels wild. The idea that meat like beef and such is seen as this easily affordable thing to have around. Not saying everyone does but just the portrayal of it. The US meat and dairy lobby really grabbed some and made them think its normal and consequence free. And you are right. We will see more of that. They keep walking in that direction not expecting to hit the goal.
the meat consumption combined with disgust over direct killing of animals for food is what really gets me. working in a grocery store one time this woman said she hated the graphic near the meat department that showed what part of a pig is called what as a cut of meat. she "didn't want to think about where it comes from". DID YOU THINK THE PORK SPAWNED OUT OF THIN AIR?! not having to be the one to kill the animal yourself is a privilege--US factory farms are notoriously horrendous not only for what the animals endure. hell, one of the main motives for food safety regulation in the US early on was a story about working in a meat packing plant.
happy anniversary scavengers reign!!
i've been phasing the phrase 'google it' out of my vocabulary and going back to 'look it up'. fuck you youve lost your generic trademark privileges

The part that's missing from a lot of tumblr-centric discourse on transmisogyny is really that stuff like "medical transition is conformist" didn't come from here, it's all runoffs from weird cis people in academia imagining a version of transness to get mad at.
The archetypal "transandrobro" is literally just saying shit transmisogynists in queer theory have been saying for decades but dressing it up in more fandom-digestible language. It's not new. They're not innovating.
It happens occasionally that some major trans public figure will hear about the Tumblr manifestation of this issue and say something like "this seems unimportant," causing a lot of controversy.
A lot of people will rightly argue that these attitudes don't just show up online, that transmisogyny in queer spaces is a real issue.
The public figure has accurately pointed out that the random transmisogynists on tumblr are not a priority target for real heavy-hitters to take on, because they are not the source of these ideas, and not the ones empowered to make an impact with these ideas. They are downstream of bigger, more important targets.
Transfeminism defined in opposition to a specific, niche manifestation of transmisogyny will inevitably end up ineffective, because it expends a lot of effort fighting a symptom rather than the disease itself.
I'm turning 18 in twenty years it's so over for me
Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”
So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”
Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.
Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.
