whether or not men benefit from feminism has no bearing on whether feminism is worthwhile

[cutecipher]

put another way. i dont care about how men are impacted by feminism

[cutecipher]

already have people mad about this. okay here's another take. men should be feminists for no benefit.

[mantis-lizbian]

just as white people should be anti-racism for no benefit, and cis people should be pro-trans for no benefit. the only "benefit" that should be required is the creation of a more just world, not because you, personally, actually do get something out of it.

[scramratz]

whenever discussing the erasure and lack of representation of trans men in media, it's best not to fall into the assumption that just because the image of a trans woman has a more prominent place in the cultural zeitgeist, doesn't mean they have better representation.

That's like saying black people in the 1920's had better representation than asian people because minstrel shows were popular.

in happier pride news i actually found this deeply heartwarming

that's solidarity baybeeee

[lgbtlaughs]

Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”

you have to be careful reading too many things that are good/smart/well-written bc then you encounter something that isnt and you get confused like ? why didnt they just make this good ? were they stupid

i have zero empathy for little boys being misogynists. i was a kid too, but my focus was towards drawing and reading, not hating on minorities.

[unsentimentaltranslator]

“they’re children!” so are the girls they terrorise

[ladywintersmith]

I have started calling it "monkey see monkey do misogyny" not because these little shits aren't a danger to other children but because I'm so sick of people reacting like "he's too young to truly MEAN it" and I don't care because I'm not worried about his immortal soul or whatever. I care about the girls who have to hear the exact same words in the exact same order as a grown man who hates them, in class. And then be expected to concentrate on long division.

PSA to fan creators who don't have a lot of regular contact with children: They are almost always bigger than you think. A 1-year-old baby may already be walking. A toddler is likely already hip-high. A 10-year-old may already be taller than at least one of their parents. A 14/15 year old may already have reached their adult height.

you don't even have to read the whole thing just read the section for the age you're writing

it will tell you where they most likely are re: physical emotional and cognitive development

also please stop drawing characters who are like 8 as waist-high on their teenage siblings

or 12-year-olds as teeny weeny next to adults

I was the smallest kid in my class and I was still 4'6 by the time I was 11

who else notices the young straight women without boyfriends or sons who need something to project their gender essentialism on to so they're out here being weird about their male cats

"only girls with boy cats will understand 🩷" and its just a video of a cat being affectionate to its owner...girl that is just a cat and he loves you because he is your cat and not because he is a boy. you also removed his balls so any hormone that would make him any biologically different from a female cat is missing from his body. that is a eunich and he loves you because you pet him and give him yummy meal. not because he has a penis

[peanutbutterex]

I put this in the tags but I feel this is very important: cats are individuals and can be mean or affectionate regardless of sex. However, the stereotype of male cats (especially neutered ones) being more affectionate LITERALLY LEADS TO FEMALE CATS STAYING IN SHELTERS LONGER.

Your gender essentialism is so bad it is affecting animals getting homes. Please unlearn this so that we can have a better world for all creatures.

This might be my favorite cardboard-crack ever because it just phrases this situation so well wow it’s so applicable to so many situations I mean you can replace “playing a game” with anything (watching a movie, reading a comic, etc.,) and it carries over and just tears apart one of the most annoying dismissive arguments i hear wow yes

[mon-degreen]

[Comic from cardboard-crack.com. A man and a woman are playing a card game, presumably Magic: The Gathering.

Woman: Even though the Magic community has made progress in recent years, there are still problems with sexism and stores that aren’t friendly to women. But as players we can make a big difference by letting people know what’s not okay and calling out questionable behavior.

Man: Jeez! Can’t I just have fun playing a game without having to deal with these social issues?!

Woman: That’s the same thing I’m asking for.]

“Big Pharma” okay are we talking about how privatization and monetization has deeply corrupted the field of medicine or are you talking about how you think chemicals in the water are making the frogs gay

[greyramblings]

“GMOs”? Are we talking seeds that grow sterile plants and patenting genetic modifications then destroying any competition no matter how small they are? Or are we talking life saving rice with vitamin a to make sure kids don’t go blind in regions not suited for other high vit a veg? … or are we talking about your chidoodle?
