btw if you call a woman a bitch i literally don’t give a fuck what she did, you’re being misogynistic. that doesn’t mean i don’t think what she did was wrong - it means she’s wrong and also, you’re misogynistic. if literal hitler were black or asian or gay etc i wouldn’t call him racial/homophobic slurs.

she could literally be the worst woman in the world, but if she were male, you wouldn’t have called her a bitch. there is no “i don’t normally call women this but she’s being a bitch”. you wanted to target and insult her femaleness specifically. her sex is inherently linked with your insult. that makes you misogynistic, flinging an insult based on someone’s sex.

also, if you call a man a bitch, you are degrading him on the basis of being comparable to a woman. it implies to be [female-aimed slur] is particularly degrading. you are also a misogynist for that.

i don’t give a fuck who you are or what the argument is about, the second you drop a misogynistic slur on a woman, i’m noting you down as a misogynist.

Ok I need help. What is the quotation that goes like: “everything is boring for women. House work is boring. Sex is boring. Kids are boring. Marriage is boring. The world was not made for women.”

I cannot find it after extensive googling and it’s driving me up a wall.

Yallll I found it.

Misogyny and lesbophobia were definitely factors in Renee Good’s murder and you’ll never be able to convince me otherwise. The fact that the word “bitch” was used twice by ICE agents about her? Don’t even try to tell me misogyny wasn’t at play here.

public reminder that your sexual orientation is unchangeable AND that any negative opinions people have of it do NOT make you a bad person. sexual orientation isn’t about what you can tolerate ‘for the greater good’, it isn’t about what’s been done to you or what you wish it was or what the church wishes it was or your parents or peers wish it was, it’s about what you’re attracted to without the influence of threats or violence. 

it’s also NOT a moral failing to stay in the closet, you are under NO obligation to put yourself at risk or make yourself uncomfortable by coming out. IF you want to come out out, then the  time and place you do is up to you, and the people who you tell are also up to you. Pride and privacy are not mutually exclusive. it can even be possible to talk to others like you and even date without being fully out of the closet, and it is NOT childish to do so.

Please stay safe and know that same-sex love will always exist all over the world. There are millions and millions of us spread thinly across every nation every culture in every job and faith and organization. Wherever your life may lead, please know one thing:

You are not alone.

They talk like he survived the surgery. This panel is almost that classic joke about the doctor saying: "The surgery was a success but the patient died"

It couldn't be more dishonest

[she-is-ovarit]

The man who castrated him and was very interested in transsexual medicine, Erwin Gohrbandt, was a Nazi who went on to spearhead human experimentation at the Dachau concentration camp, where specifically thousands of homosexual and mentally ill people were forced to. During the Holocaust, under the eugenics movement, Lilli Elbe and other mentally ill people were considered "feeble-minded" (this was an actual, formal term) and homosexuals were considered to also be "feeble-minded" and have inferior genes.

Kurt Warnekros, who performed the remainder of Lili Elbe's surgeries, was also a member of the Nazi Party. He was ultimately who ended up killing Lili. It's unclear as to whether Warnekros had sympathies for Jewish people, as he was understood to have an uneasy relationship with the Nazi administration and continued gynecology on Jewish female patients.

Lili Elbe himself was anti-Semetic and this was the reason why Elbe chose to undergo surgeries with Warnekros over Magnus Hirschfeld (who, on another note, while he was Jewish also was a champion of eugenics and believed that homosexuality was God's way of preventing the spread of inferior genes. Gohbrandt, the Nazi mentioned above, worked in his clinic).

Source.

More casual source.

Everybody has been so focused on the revisionism of gay history to suit gender ideology and the focus on "trans icons" that they are blind to the fact that "gender affirming care" is very darkly intertwined with Nazi eugenics and the massacre and sterilization of homosexual and mentally ill people.

And this isn't a case of, "oh, well, many things we know today are because of Nazi science unfortunately" - the foundational ideas within modern gender evangelism fueling the modern transgender belief system and movement is rooted in the ideology of these eugenicists and early 1950s conservative doctors.

And somehow it is never mentioned anywhere that for him to get his surgery, a woman was ripped off of her internal organs like in any organ traffic still going on. 💀

Because it's not important, it is not a man. Women are seen as a ''it'' and not even human beings.

So I just read this article about how people end up fucking up whatever task they’re doing when they feel like they’re being watched.  Scientists have discovered that the sense of being observed actually SHUTS OFF a part of the brain, the inferior parietal cortex. 

Given the fact that women are constantly watched in our society, and we are constantly REMINDED that we are being watched by people making fun of fat, “ugly”, or gender-nonconforming women, it makes me wonder how many women have messed up important tasks or projects or just day-to-day activities because A PART OF OUR BRAIN is permanently being deactivated?

Like talk about a fucking handicap.

Women are constantly held under the microscope- whether we are attractive or unattractive, the gaze of patriarchy never ends.

Just last week I was walking my dog and bent over to literally pick up poop.  Suddenly I heard whistling and looked up cause I knew I was the only person around.  Sure enough, about 300 feet away, some construction worker was perched on top of a building, grinning at me and calling out stuff I luckily couldn’t hear because he was so goddamn far away.

I wonder what it does to women to have this constant source of stress hanging over us, each and every day, knowing we are being scrutinized and examined no matter what we’re doing.  I wonder how many more accomplishments, life-changing discoveries, inventions, etc would have been achieved by women if we didn’t have this constant brain-handicap imposed on us by men.

[oldmaninatee]

This feeling of being watched extends even when we’re alone and affects our abilities- here’s a study where women took a math test while in a bathing suit and performed significantly worse than women fully dressed, even though all the women were alone when taking the test. The men in bathing suits and the men fully-dressed had no significant difference in performance. It is a major fucking handicap.

This is AMAZING. It never occurred to me that “Observing a thing changes that thing” includes the eye of the male gaze.

What transphobia actually is:

Firing someone solely for being trans

Being denied housing solely for being trans

Physically assaulting and murdering someone solely for being trans

What is not transphobia

Someone not wanting to date/have sex with a trans person

Acknowledging biological sex and differences

Women wanting their own single sex spaces (sports, gyms, clubs, etc.)

my friend and i had to break a social norm for our sociology class so we drove around and catcalled boys (and one male teacher omfg) and they all looked so alarmed and confused and like they thought we were straight up crazy it was priceless and it rlly highlighted the fact that women just expect to be harassed when walking down the street whereas guys are just completely taken aback by it

[putmezove-deactivated20171012]

this is a really important thing for people to understand

[wombmoth]

Holy shit so many people in the notes are like “ummm cat calling…that’s not actually a thing??? I’ve never seen it happe n?¿¿?? It’s never happened to me?” Then I go to their blog and they’re male. The other half are people being like “but i wish I would get cat called!!” who are, no surprise, also men

Fucking hell. How are they this dense. It’s on purpose right? It has to be?

[empty-jellies]

i wish u all would stop using the b word and c word, even with positive connotation you meant by it i still think it’s a disgusting word and should not be in u all regular vocabulary

[truthscicle]

half of the people arguing against the uk online safety act haven’t been in a Highschool in years. Sure, you’re 40 and watch porn and don’t want to give your id up, fine whatever. But teenage boys with porn addictions is a genuine issue.

I’m going to be a junior in high school this year, I still have two years left, and by this point I’ve already seen three different boys jerking off in the back of classrooms. Earlier during my sophomore year, around march or April, a guy got caught ai generating videos of his female classmates and jerking off to them in class.

If this isn’t porn addiction, I’m not sure what else to call it. Teenage boys have literally nothing on their minds besides porn by this point. Even the way I see them talking to my female classmates is weird and shows signs of degeneracy. And it’s every single one of them.

Teenage boys with access to porn always end up with terrible porn addictions that they make everyone else’s problem. Just because you want to watch porn without identification shouldn’t mean that I have to go to school with people that jerk off while staring at my friends, their phones open to hentai.

I know there are issues with the ban, and things like Wikipedia are also being censored, which I don’t think is a great thing, but as long as porn is being taken away from teenage boys I’m grateful.

[lex-in-superposition]

Out of all the radfem/terf takes, the idea that trans women “hate women” is kinda the silliest.

Like “I hate women so much, I’m gonna become one, and destroy them from the inside! Muhuhaha!!!!”.

It’s like something out of a kids show lol

[radfemart]

it's not a "take". we don't think trans identified males hate women. they tell us they do, every single time they talk.

don't think we're not paying attention.
