White Western “antifascists” calling Iranian gays (including Iranian gay Muslims) “Islamophobic” and calling for “no hate” because they are protesting against their government murdering gay people.
“How am I an “Islamophobe” when I am a Muslim who advocates for human rights?
On June 25th 2017, Antifa Toronto and some far-leftists attempted to block LGBTQ+ rights activist of Muslim background, including refugees and former Iranian political prisoners, from marching at Pride Toronto accusing them of “Islamophobia”.“
First Jews get kicked out of Chicago Pride, now Iranians get harassed at Toronto Pride. This is the state of the left in North America 🙃
So apparently the JDL were involved in this somehow and antifa was going after them, and the JDL used the Iranian group as a way to get into Pride since this particular Iranian group was partnering with LGBTory (a Conservative group in Ontario)??? This is so confusing and imma reach out to IHCR (the iranian group) to see wtf is up

A new study looks at what the preschoolers do and do not associate with "boys" and "girls."
Inside a handful of public kindergartens in Sweden, toys are never divided into traditional gender camps. Dolls and baby strollers mingle freely with cars and wooden blocks. In posters, dump trucks haul around beaded jewelry, a bionic robot wears a tutu, and it’s not a female or male Barbie who does the dishes—that’s left to a skeleton.
These are Sweden’s gender-neutral kindergartens, administered by Lotta Rajalin, who shared photos of the toyscapes and posters described above in a recent Tedx Talk. She also explained that at her schools, children can dabble in all kinds of activities, and are encouraged to explore their full range of emotions. Girls are not expected to suppress anger, and boys are not pressured to swallow their tears. All students are welcome to be as messy or tidy, rowdy, or passive as suits them.
“What we do in our schools, we [don’t] put labels on the children. We don’t say, ‘Frida, she’s so beautiful, cute and helpful,’ and ‘Mohammed is so wild and tough.’” Rajalin tells the audience.
Teachers are also trained to avoid talking about boys or girls, and instead speak of people, kids, humans and friends. “Hen,” a still rarely used gender-neutral pronoun that first came into use in the 1960s, but only made the official dictionary two years ago, has replaced han (he) and hon (she).
Such efforts are probably paying off. In a small study published in Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden report that children who attended one gender-neutral preschool were more likely to play with unfamiliar children of the opposite gender, and less likely to be influenced by culturally enforced gender stereotypes, compared to children enrolled at other pre-schools. Tests showed that the kids from the gender-neutral school were as likely as other children to group people by gender, but didn’t attach traditional associations to the concepts of “male” or “female” children to the same degree. During a matching task, for instance, they were less likely to make choices in line with cultural norms when shown images of boys or girls and jeans or dresses.
‘Together the results suggest that although gender-neutral pedagogy on its own may not reduce children’s tendency to use gender to categorize people, it reduces their tendency to gender-stereotype and gender-segregate, which could widen the opportunities available to them,” Ben Kenward, a researcher in psychology at Uppsala University and Oxford Brookes University, and lead author of the paper, explained in an Uppsala news release,
Future studies would be required to establish whether a gender-neutral kindergarten education will lead to greater success, he further elaborates in an email to Quartz, but the evidence points in that direction. “What we can say is that based on the beliefs they show when we interview them, they seem more open to certain experiences than children from more typical schools. Given that children develop through play and through interactions with peers, and that many play activities (like playing with blocks) that promote development are traditionally gendered, then it would be reasonable to assume that this is likely to improve these children’s development and future success.”
Plenty of research has explored the ways gender assumptions in the classroom are equally harmful to boys and girls. In the study, for instance, the authors point out that just as boys, not girls, are usually encouraged to play with blocks, which develops spatial skills, girls are expected to comply with an adult’s direction, a trait that’s connected to better academic performance. Psychologists have also determined that when a teacher or student believes most boys can’t sit still long enough to read, or might not have the self-discipline required to thrive in a structured setting, it appears to negatively impact boys’ grades.
Kenward acknowledges that the Upssala study’s sample size is small. Gender-neutral kindergartens are rare, even in the country rated as the fourth-most gender-equal society in the world. The researchers interviewed 80 students, aged 3 to 6; 30 were enrolled at the gender-neutral school and 50 at two other typical preschools.
Previous research would seem to support the study’s conclusions. In a 2010 paper published in Child Development, for instance, children paid more attention to gender and were less likely to play with children who were not their own gender when their teachers took pains to highlight the differences between girls and boys.
In 1998, an amendment to Sweden’s education act required that public schools at all levels begin promoting gender-neutral policies and teaching styles. Rajalin has since taken the lead in pioneering norm-conscious policies for her kindergartens, “but they are not the only preschools that are moving this way,” Kenward tells Quartz. “All Swedish preschools are pretty right-on from the perspective of most other countries,” he says.
Naturally, Rajalin has faced some criticism for her progressive approach. “There are a lot of letters, mail, blogs,” she told The New York Times in 2012. “But it’s not so much arguments; it’s anger, basically.”
To the educator, however, there’s nothing debatable about removing arbitrary limits on what children access and imagine for themselves. Keeping children open to all life has to offer is a key tenet of the preschools’ pedagogical philosophy. “We don’t take anything away, Rajalin says in her Tedx Talk. “We only add.”
This is literally radical feminism and I’m so amazed that it’s not only being implemented but also studied to prove how successful it is. Sweden is living in the future.
And the last sentence is so, so amazing. “We don’t take anything away; we only add.” Conservatives who get mad at gender neutral parenting are irrational ignorant reactionaries who’ve never had a coherent thought on gender in their life.
Numbers don’t lie but people can sure as fuck pick and choose the numbers they give you and phrase things to make them sound like they mean things they don’t
"#i only like dicks too but cmon"
Then you haven't had to deal with trans men calling you out for being a genital fetishist transphobe. Lesbians are dealing with this guilt tripping now for not wanting to sleep with trans women, especially those that are pre-op, because they have dicks and obviously lesbians don't like that. I haven't experienced that from trans men though (I wonder why?? 🤔), but the point is no one should be guilt tripped into thinking their "genital fetish" (aka sexual orientation) is transphobic. Gay men like dicks so when we say we're into men, we mean dicks, not every person out there who happens to identify as a man but doesn't have the right parts. We shouldn't have to apologise for being gay to spare someone's feelings, we've already had to deal with that from straight people.
My buddy used to know this guy in high school that would watch porn before every wrestling match he was in. He didn’t beat the meat. Didn’t even play with it. Sat fully clothed and watched violent ass hardcore for like half an hour.
He won almost every match.
Turns out being sexually aroused with no satisfaction makes your testosterone go into overdrive and turns you into a fuckin beast for like 15 minutes.
I do it now everytime I go to the gym. Never had better workouts.
That’s not what a sociopath is. The correct term is sadomasochistic and it’s extremely normal.
You don’t know what you’re talking about, and that’s ok. You will grow up one day and your views will change and you’ll learn that everyone likes different things and that what other people do together consensually in their bedrooms is their business.
i would laugh at this ignorance if i wasn’t so disgusted. please research the harmful effects of violent porn and of sexual violence (even “consensual” violence) before you pretend you know anything about it. nothing exists in a vacuum–there is a reason that some people get off on violence and abuse. it’s not healthy, and it’s not good. i know countless people who have personally suffered because of it. if you’d like to learn, i can direct you to resources. (which include: scientific studies, statistics, personal accounts of ex-porn actors/actresses, personal accounts of people who used to be in bdsm relationships, etc.) but i’m not sure you’re that open minded lol
The idea of needing to be open minded to closed mindedness is hilariously ironic.
I don’t need to see your cherry picked list of sources that you’ve used for confirmation bias, i already know you’re stupid and radical.
Again. You’re a child. You don’t understand. That’s fine. You’ll grow up. I used to do this to my Bisexuality when I was your age before I embraced it. Maybe you should open your mind. You might like what you find in there ;)

Tumblr in 1860 probably: Please remember that some people NEED their slaves due to disabilities that prevent them from performing labor on their own. Don’t shame disabled slave owners.
liberal feminists on tumblr in 1860: have you ever considered that some slaves LIKE working on the plantations, and some female slaves CHOOSE to have sex with their masters?
