Getting To The Root Of This

[andreadworkinq]

Ah, Andrea Dworkin. We still live in hell.

they always act like men's sexual "needs" are an unstoppable force and women's humanity is a very movable object

[tomatosplat]

holy shit. what a succinct and perfect observation

[kiefbowl]

many people clearly believe that for the benefit of the community, women must simply absorb male violence. that it's their role in the community. that men are the community, and his violence needs to go somewhere acceptable. and the acceptable place is at her.

[veritablevent]

you can't girlboss your way out of the humiliation of performing femininity. miniskirts are supposed to humble you by having you stay alert of them riding up and exposing you. high heels are supposed to humble you by having you move carefully, wary of twisting an ankle (or stumbling and exposing yourself). make-up is supposed to humble you by having you control your feeding and resting habits, lest you smudge it. there's sexualization imbedded in them. they are SUPPOSED to embarrass you, because the ultimate titillation is the assertion of control over you. you can't desex them.

[sisterofrage]

I actually don't care about debating men anymore. They're too emotional, too irrational, don't actually read half the shit they babble about and just repeat the same phrases over and over again. It's not a logical debate to them, it's just an emotional contest where they have to "win", and their idea of winning is just dodging questions, going in circles and exhausting the person they're speaking to until they give up. They just want the last word even if that last word is nonsensical.

I can't believe how many arguments on feminism I beat myself up thinking that I had "lost" as a teenager....it took me years to realize that there's no universe in which moids will accept defeat to a woman. Debating men and bringing your best points is truly throwing pearls before swine. Save logical conversation for women and save a nice fat middle finger and a whole lot of the silent treatment for moids.

ever see a family that has a shitload of children and all of them are girls except one and that one boy is definitely the youngest. fills me with rage every single time

[its-terf-or-nothin]

It just goes to show how little men care about their girlfriend/wife that they treat her like cattle or a cat or dog breeder and force her to have children over and over again until they get the “perfect” offspring. Men are vile.

My favourite thing to do is to tell men that by the time your son has grandchildren, your male genetic dna is so messed up that they will have difficulties tracing it back to you. You will, genetically, cease to exist upon the linear time line.

But their wife? Her genetic markers will be in her son, and his female children. And it will clearly show that she was his mother and their grandmother. It will show that her mother was there, and her grandmother, and her great grand mother.

The only time a man's genetic line succeeds is when he has daughters because everything important for tracing genetics is in the X chromosome. If he doesn't have daughters, he doesn't pass on anything with meaning and even then, its his mother's genetics that are passed down. He has nothing else of value but to be a stepping stone for his mother's genetics.

Got any sources? I didn't know that and I'd love to read more

[feral--bog--witch]

Here you go!

This is just one source for why mtDNA is better.

Its because its more stable, doesn't degrade, and is very prevalent to all cells. And you get more information from it. The Y chromosomal dna is in the nuclear DNA and it degrades over the generations really quickly, even over time outside of the body. Where as the maternal DNA, mtDNA, stays stable for literally centuries!

A lot of the time they disregard nuclear dna entirely because its so unstable. They test just the mtDNA. And for a father or a grandfather, that's their mother's DNA!

Its one of my favourite genetic facts.

That isn't even to state the the Y chromosome itself is degraded and had lost of 97% of all its genetic material due to the degrading of it's cells as it evolved.

So weird how armpit hair and pubic hair is only unhygienic for women. Do men sweat less? Nope they actually sweat more! Thats why I demand all men shave every inch of hair of their bodies. So no pubes, no butt hair, no arm hair, no facial hair 🤢 no stray eyebrow hairs, no hair down the nape of your neck, no chest hair, absolutely no armpit hair because that is ‘unhygienic’. I dont care if you have to pay thousands of dollars getting your pubes lasered off, or whether you must bend over backwards to hack a razor at your genitals. But if I see one hair just know that I will be disgusted. To add, if i see another man walking the street without a shirt on i will be honking my car, i dont care if its a billion degrees outside. If I have to wear a shirt, so do you.

[anaukeya3]

So annoying to me when people think citing the actions of FICTIONAL female characters counts as evidence that femininity doesn't hold women back. "Omg, she can run and fight with heels and a dress! What an icon, I can't even walk in heels." She is not real, and therefore her body doesn't follow the same laws that ours do. She will do whatever the writers want her to, because she is ANIMATED. And even if the actor is a real person, the scene is choreographed, rehearsed and edited with CGI. It's fake!

Not only do these types of outfits make the stunts harder to pull off, they can also make them more dangerous. “I actually was put into a fire sequence in a negligee,” Donna Keegan, whose credits include “Independence Day” and “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” told me. “Do you know how flammable negligees are? They just kept dousing flame retardant stuff all over it.” “One time, I had to dive through a plate glass window with a spaghetti strap top on and in a miniskirt with Doc Marten boots,” Keegan recalled. “You're not getting candy glass for that kind of piece. No matter what they're going to do, there are shards. ... You come out a porcupine, bleeding everywhere.” Their skin's exposed, and they often don’t have any padding. “Try doing stunts with no pads and no clothing. I have been thrown down marble stairs in a bra and underwear,” Keegan said, remarking that the first time she saw that set, “I looked at that and went, ‘You're kidding me, right?’”

Source: Documentary lauds Hollywood stuntwomen, who do everything men do but in high heels (Sept. 22, 2020)

One of the most sought-after stuntwomen in Hollywood, Ms. [Zoe] Bell crashes through glass, slams into book cases and leaps from tall buildings. She has done stunts on more than 20 films and television series, including "Alias," "Kill Bill" and "Xena: Warrior Princess." Asked if she could accomplish a 22-story spinning fall from a skyscraper for 2004's "Catwoman," Ms. Bell thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I can." To get the chilling fall just right, she did it four times. "It's not until after you've been hit by a car and landed all right that the fear kicks in," she said. Stuntwomen often face greater dangers than their male cohorts. While stuntmen wear pads under their clothing, stuntwomen in action films are often minimally clothed; there is no place to hide padding or protective gear in their bikinis or ball gowns. Doubling for Sharon Stone, Ms. Bell had to do the high fall in "Catwoman" in high heels. "Because that's how women fight and die—in heels," she said, with a slight roll of her eyes.

continually discovering horrible things I didn’t know about religion. A user interacted who was a “side b lesbian” which through perusing her blog I learned means she is a Christian who believes she was born “broken” and prone to sin (lesbian love is the sin) as a test by god and so pledges to never be with a woman despite acknowledging she is a lesbian. Made me so sad bro. You only have one life and you’re doing this with it. Well I suppose they believe there is a better afterlife after they pass the cruel tests set out by god to trap them during life. but in a way that’s sadder. I hate religion and the way it convinces people to throw away their only time on earth for false promises.

Biologists are correcting certain prejudices actively promoted by the transgender lobby.

Link to the article here.

Does anyone have the link to that post explaining how the term "assigned at birth" was originally coined and used by and for intersex people (or people with DSD) before it was completely appropriated by the trans lobby, to the point that the people it was originally about have largely been forgotten?

I reblogged it a few months ago, but I can't seem to find it anymore.

I wake up to the sound of my alarm (the entire Pussy Whipped album by Bikini Kill), my jaw and tongue are sore from eating my girlfriend out for 6 consecutive hours the night before. Without turning off my alarm I hop out of bed to read the entirety of The SCUM Manifesto by Valerie Solanas, my favorite. When I'm finished reading I say a short prayer in front of my altar devoted to Andrea Dworkin before measuring my armpit hair again. I'm disappointed to find that it has only grown a centimeter since I last measured it (yesterday), I make a mental note to double up on my vegetables and protein today so that my body hair can grow longer. After eating my breakfast (5 eggs, a protein shake, and an entire bag of carrots) I lift weights for two hours. It is now time for me to go to my gender studies class, during which I challenge my professor's liberal feminist and post-modern views. After I am thrown out I go yell at the men in the quad for an hour before graffitiing vulvas around town with my fellow radical feminist friends. When we're done we go to the parking lot of a strip club and rob men as they leave. I then come home and make dinner for my girlfriend before eating her out again.

i really can’t believe society gaslit everyone into thinking that women peak at like 22 and men continue to get better with age thats hilariously psychotic

[sespursongles-deactivated201906]

I find it so depressing to know that as soon as men invent or gain access to a new communication technology, they immediately use it to increase tenfold their production and consumption of porn. In the book I’m reading about feminism and technology, the author spends a while explaining how revolutionary the telephone has been for women, allowing them to escape the isolation & confinement of their nuclear households and increasing their access to the outside world and to other women (friends, relatives) in a way that was harder for men to supervise (which is of course why the industry men who developed it spent decades loudly condemning women’s use of the telephone for “trivial gossip”.)

But then she has to concede that this new technology, like most others, also affected women negatively because men immediately started using it for porn (& to harm women, since that is the main purpose of porn). “The diffusion of the telephone facilitated the intrusion of pornography into the home, not only through intrusive and abusive telephone calls made by men to women, but also through the development of sexual services over the phone.” The same thing happened with the internet of course, but before the internet there was also the French Minitel service, which was a kind of small TV screen linked to your telephone that allowed for proto-emailing and instant messaging—and a study by the French government found that the Minitel “vastly contributed to the propagation of hardcore pornography”, notably the sale and purchase of paedophilic content.

I saw a post once where a feminist said she almost wished the Internet had never been invented, because of the explosion in porn it facilitated, and I understand the sentiment, but it’s not limited to the internet, it’s a recurring and pretty much inevitable phenomenon, since porn seems to be men’s primordial interest. It happened with the printing press, with the daguerreotype, the invention of movies of course, now virtual reality… Dworkin called pornography the propaganda tool of woman-hatred, so of course it makes sense that every new information & communication technology men develop always translates to them as better access to ever-increasing amounts of porn.

People are so indoctrinated by patriarchy that mentioning something neutral like "men on average are physically stronger than women" will get you accused of saying women are inferior to men. Like, nobody said that, you are the one who believes physical strength equals worthiness and value as a human being and is projecting it on completely neutral assumptions.

[watermelinoe]

if it's so unethical to want to avoid giving birth to an unhealthy baby why should women avoid drugs and alcohol during pregnancy

[watermelinoe]

what it all comes down to is the belief that pregnancy is god's will, that babies are gods creations, and women's bodies are just the vessels he uses to make life. it's the belief that pregnancy is passive. anything the woman does to actively interfere with god's plan is her playing god and acting above her station.

but we know this is bullshit, that women's bodies make unconscious decisions regarding pregnancy, from conception to miscarriage, prioritizing her welfare above all else. if binge drinking during pregnancy is an active choice that creates a disabled child, materially so is continuing a pregnancy that you know will create a disabled child. there is no difference in outcome for the child who has to deal with the lifelong disability. and there's no material difference between miscarriage and abortion, either, except that one is a conscious choice. fundamentally, what people are uncomfortable with is women defying what they see as divine authority by exerting her own will over creation. but she's the only god in this scenario, because nobody's getting created without her.

[joyforshort]

[prodigalwitch]

the whole 'life begins at conception' argument is a patriarchal myth developed to place undue importance on fertilization (the male role) in the creation of life. especially when you consider that between 30% and 50% of fertilized eggs fail to implant in the uterus, and thus will never develop.

[prodigalwitch]

also, a note on the word 'conception'-- aside from pregnancy, conception refers to the formulation of an idea (a concept), again placing undue importance on the decision to ejaculate inside of a woman

[prodigalwitch]

and specifically in the religious environment i was raised in, conception (that is, the literal idea of a future human's existence) is ultimately God's decision, again stripping any agency from women in the act of creating life. two males decide if life should begin within you. this is why abortion is such a slight to the Christian male ego in particular. an abortion effectively demonstrates a male's material lack of possession of a womb he feels entitled to.
