Women everywhere:
-Give yourself more credit. Honor your intelligence and your courage more; you are certainly braver and smarter than you let on.
-Stop couching your every thought and feeling in endless disclaimers and caveats. The world will not end if someone mistakenly takes offense.
-Speak plainly; your clarity and straightforwardness is your power.
-Aim to claim every room you enter for womankind.
When I was in elementary school, my teacher would pair me with the most disobedient and loud boys in class as a way to discipline them via my good example. I would hush them, explain things to them, beat them occasionally - I didn’t like sitting with them so, naturally, a lot of my energy went into trying to make these boys somewhat tolerable. I was angry, irritated, depressed, always distracted - I was sitting in close proximity to not one but three boys, quite far from my girlfriends. My own school performance went down. Though I was still A+ in liberal arts, I’ve got my first 2 in mathematics (on a 1-10 numerical scale).
I understand this reads as a story about educational abuse towards girls mostly, but I think the situation I described might also mirror heterosexual marriage as a system that helps government regulate men and save up financial and social resources at the expense of women.
From early childhood, we are taught to take an active role in raising boys and monitoring their behaviour - to prepare us for marriage, where we will be responsible for how well a man is adapted in society that raised him unadaptable in the first place. In the same extent the government is interested in plugging gaps in important social spheres with women's unpaid labor (the majority of volunteers and social workers are women), it is interested in heterosexual marriage as an institution that is supposed to discourage men from engaging in activities that have negative social consequences - gambling, alcoholism, crime, and unemployment - through women’s positive influence. Patriarchy teaches boys cruelty, disobedience, lack of empathy and social awareness - all the qualities that are detrimental to a functional well-organised society, and simultaneously relies on women to contain these qualities - responsibility first carried out by mother to be consequently passed on to wife.
Society knows how destructive men are and it wants women to take over the burden of keeping them in check. The price it “pays” is male domestic violence in marriages, but with criminal system being misogynistic as it is, violence against women is much cheaper for the government, so the price is really insignificant.
i can't do this anymore guys. dostoevsky never wrote this. please. can anyone hear me. if you do proper research the earliest version of this quote is from like a 2010 facebook quote with a magenta flower on it. it's gotten so bad that it's even credited to him on goodreads but nobody can source where he wrote it because he fucking didn't. i can't keep seeing this in your web weaves. dostoevsky the author of crime and punishment did not in fact write "you were destined for me. perhaps as a punishment". that is just simply not true. please nod and tell me you understand
as the world’s first reverse solipsist I believe that everyone has a vibrant internal life except me, as I am a stimulus-response machine like the sort described by Pavlov and Skinner
"Every cell in a human body contains sex chromosomes. These chromosomes in turn influence every biological, chemical, sensory, and psychological function performed by that body. Most cells both produce and respond to sex hormones such as estrogen, progestogins, testosterone, and androgens, and the functionality of each cell is affected in both subtle and overt ways by its relationship to these hormones.
Although these genomic differences have not been widely researched in all organs and systems, in areas where they have been studied, the implications are clear: women's bodies deal with everything from internal communication (neurotransmission) to external influences such as pharmaceuticals according to a different set of genetic and hormonal criteria. This means that what is considered medically "normal" for men may not be normal for-or even applicable to-women."
Sex Matters: How Male-Centric Medicine Endangers Women's Health and What We Can Do About It
By Alyson J. McGregor, MD
The justice system harbors a brutal double standard: it offers understanding to male rage but punishes female survival. A man who murders his partner in a jealous fit is often met with excuses—his anger is labeled "provoked," his violence a temporary lapse. This "crime of passion" defense is a legal relic that forgives male loss of control, treating it as almost natural.Meanwhile, a woman who kills her abuser is not seen as a victim fighting for her life. She is put on trial for her own defense. If she strikes back during an attack, she's accused of "excessive force." If she plans to end the torture, she's branded "cold-blooded" and "premeditated." She is caught in an impossible trap: to be a credible victim, she must remain passive. If she dares to save herself, she becomes a criminal. This isn't justice; it's institutionalized punishment of survival. The system protects the narrative of male passion while prosecuting the desperation of female resistance.
“maybe men wouldn’t fall down the alt right pipeline so easily if feminists were nicer” yesss women famously got our rights by saying “pretty please? 🥺 with a cherry on top? 🥺🥺🥺” and the men were really nice and said “omg yes of course 🫰🏻”
THANK YOU
the erasure of the rape element in mythological retellings is so heinous it borders on misogyny
it’s the idea that because rape as an act is misogyny, that talking about rape or including it in stories is also misogyny. as if acknowledging that women were denied agency and dignity somehow further denies us agency and dignity. when really, acknowledging the ways women were/are denied agency and dignity affirms that we are entitled to these things. a feminist story isn’t just a story in which no bad things happen to women. bad things do happen to women. pretending they don’t, and especially trying to superimpose that conviction onto the past, just because it isn’t as fun to dwell on, is not a feminist position.
It's not progressive to say "women are oppressed so they should be brutalized in films for the sake of realism". Hate to break it to you, but most men are sadistic towards women, not empathetic. The male film director who recycles the violent pornography he’s consumed isn’t challenging anything. He's only desensitizing an entire audience to cruelty against women.
New: Search operators for better searching!
We hear you, and we share your frustrations: it’s hard to find a specific post. You know it has a particular tag or phrase, and it was posted on this date, or at least, within a specific year. But you can't find it!
So, today, we’re excited to announce that you can use ✨ advanced search operators ✨ in the search bar now! You can now say potato from:staff year:2021 to easily enjoy that video of a potato being microwaved again.
Before we jump into the details, a couple of caveats to note:
These search operators are only available in the main Tumblr search bar. They don’t work in the search bar in individual blogs.
The search operators only work on posts created in 2017 or later.
OK! Let’s go explore these operators!
Exact phrase match
When you surround your query with regular double quotes (not curly quotes), it will match posts with that exact phrase in the post's text content, or that exact phrase as a tag.
For example, "chappell roan is roan of arc" matches posts with that exact phrase in the content, and also matches posts that have the exact tag #chappell roan is roan of arc.
Match operator
By default, the query matches the post on either the text or the tags.
You can use match:text to specify you want to search the post content, or match:tags to search the post tags. For example:
sword world match:text looks for posts with the words "sword" and "world" in the post content.
sword world match:tags looks for posts with the words "sword" and "world" in the post tags.
From operator
Use from:blog or from:@blog to find only posts by a particular blog.
For example, halloween from:staff finds all posts by @staff that has the word "halloween" in the post content or tags.
Year operator
Use year:YYYY to find posts from a particular year.
For example, halloween year:2019 finds all posts from 2019 that has the word "halloween" in the post content or tags.
Date operator
Use date:YYYY-MM-DD to find posts from a particular date.
For example, halloween date:2019-10-08 finds all posts created on October 8, 2019 that has the word "halloween" in the post content or tags.
All together
You can combine all the tools above to form even more specific queries:
Congrats! You’re now a Tumblr search wizard! 🪄
Other syntax
As a reminder, you can already search by a tag, or by multiple tags:
Prefixing your query with # performs a tag search — that is, it will find posts with that exact tag. For example, #star wars will only return posts with the #star wars tag.
You can search for multiple tags at at time. For example, #star wars #art will find posts that are tagged with both the tag #star wars and the tag #art.
You can combine this with the new operators to find what you are looking for!
A guide on how to use the new operators has also been added to our Search and Filtering Basics Guide.
Tumblr Patio support
The enhanced syntax makes Tumblr Patio even more powerful. You can now open multiple search columns each with different fine-tuned queries that use the syntax above to get you customized feeds.
Feedback
We’d love to hear what you think! Please share your feedback in the replies and reblogs of this post, or by reaching out to Tumblr Support.
Sorry not sorry but there's no "liberal" way to care about collective fertility rates
one of the most baffling things of the pro prostitution movement is their favorite mantra, “sex work is work.” that’s so funny. what do you expect me to say, “no it isn’t?” because i don’t care. makes not a lick of difference to me. you know what else is work? child labor, sweatshop labor, prison labor, slave labor, sharecropping, indentured servitude. all work. do you know why reasonable people are against those things? it’s not because they aren’t work. it’s because the inherently exploitative and potentially injurious conditions of the jobs make them morally unjustifiable. “sex work is work,” so what? what’s your point?
theres other stuff besides sex and drugs and alcohol but i cant ever think of any of it
a lot of the male rage online comes from the fact that a lot of men are genuinely losers. they don't contribute anything to society, and naturally, they have low self-worth. Except, they've been told they have a right to use a woman's body, and that, despite their overall loser status, they are hierarchically above women. what enrages them is that women's rights have come far enough that natural losers are losing.
