the real tea is that tumblr at large was always homophobic. it went from evil aggressive fetishization of fictional sinning smut homos, to “i am the gays, piv is gay, homosexuality is outdated & bigoted.” there never was & never will be a happy medium with ppl who just aren’t gay.
Karen meme is a psyop to let corporations take advantage of everyone. If I don’t scream at my property manager nothing gets done. I would rather be a Karen than be a sucker!
It's become the "nagging wife" trope, now with more politics and corporate bootlicking. If you're paying for goods or services, you have a right to get what you pay for and if that means asking for the manager then fucking do it. Women are socialized to drink the coffee they didn't order, get ignored or talked over by salespeople, and get pushed around. "Karen" has become part of that socialization and women are receiving the message to be more demure and browbeaten.
It's all pointless, by the way. There's no reward for being a "good woman" and you will be mocked no matter what you do. So do what you want and get what you paid for.
been seeing other women saying this too but I cannot stress enough how important it is to not base all of your radfem beliefs on “women = good people 100% of the time, men = bad people 100% of the time” for several reasons but particularly because that’s just not a strong foundation for anything to be built upon. that will make it so that the moment you meet a man who is nice or a woman isn’t, your entire belief system will crumble.
you’re going to meet men who are nice people and you’re going to meet women who are incredibly abusive people, neither of those things change the fact that all women deserve complete liberation from male control.
male artists who draw every woman/slightly femme looking person with the same yassified disney elsa face while having the decency to draw men in different and interesting ways are not seeing the light of heaven. btw
This is the most jaw dropping AITAs I’ve seen what the hell
not raping people
not murdering people
empathy
hyper-endurance-based sports
flexibility
surviving famines
not going bald at age 25
making women cum
avoiding x-linked genetic disorders
not being colorblind (see above)
recognizing facial expressions
withstanding pain
shall i go on?
i’ve decided to go on…
maintaining meaningful friendships
getting good grades
remembering their children’s birthdays
not dying from covid
practicing medicine
not abusing animals
working with lab animals (see above)
driving
having multiple orgasms
being attracted to people their own age
living past age 75
washing their ass (this falls under hygiene but i feel like it’s important to reiterate)
maybe instead of making scientist barbies to get women into stem they could market science kits to girls…… just a thunk
Something about women expecting to be looked at (barbie as a woman who looks like she does science) while boys are expected to participate in the world (actually do science, no illusions or focus on the marketing the image of self)
If a man could ever describe your feminism as “good” because it’s “not like what those crazy man-hating lesbians are saying” or whatever: it’s not a compliment, its a scathing indictment of how useless your feminism is. Shape up.
I think the “women are mysterious” thing can also come from:
1) Women actually being quite clear, but not telling men what they want to hear. ”She said she doesn’t want to talk to me? So many mixed messages and confusing signals!”
2) Women not having cheat codes. ”I tried being nice, and she didn’t have sex with me. I tried being an asshole, and she didn’t have sex with me. Come on, there’s got to be some kind of solution to this puzzle!”
3) Women not being a hive mind. ”First a woman told me that she likes guys with big muscles. Then the very next day a woman told me she thinks muscles aren’t attractive at all. Make up your mind, women!”
4) An individual woman doing something confusing, and instead of asking “why is she doing this now?” men ask “why do women always do this?”
Always reblog
5) Women having to go out of their way to protect themselves from dangerous men, something that men often don’t have to worry about, causing them to do things that men would not understand from personal experience. For example, a woman may give a fake phone number instead of just rejecting a man, because rejecting him may cause him to become violent.
My opinion of someone instantly lowers when they use "karen" in all seriousness. You're basic, you're tacky, you're corny, you lack depth, you're a sheep, you live in a bubble.
And you hate women 😔
I love how tumblr as a whole has done a 180 on the not like other girls phenomenon and somehow created an entirely new and completely antiquated form of misogyny that states that women who don’t enjoy conforming to gender roles are the real sexists because women who don’t naturally enjoy the roles placed upon them and refuse to submit it’s because of internalized misogyny and not because gender roles are restrictive bullshit
Gone right back to bullying the girls who aren’t bleach blonde Regina George archetypes 😭
I feel like misogyny is the most persistent form of oppression bc not only do people refuse to see it but they believe it’s the natural order. also we’re forced to interact with, cohabit, and sometimes rely on the very people who don’t believe in our equality 🤪🤪🤪
Hollywood truly is infested with sick fuckery
stop me if you’ve heard this one but men will search for women who are full of joy and confidence so they can leech off of it and then after they’ve left her empty and burned out and drained of all the life that once existed behind her eyes they’ll say she isn’t the woman they fell in love with
