To any lesbians/gays reading gender critical posts out of curiosity/anger --

You can disagree with everything I say, but I want you to listen to this one thing.

You're not wrong for being exclusively same-sex attracted.

Before I was gender critical, I thought something was wrong with me because I was only attracted to "afab" individuals. It's okay to not want to interact with a dick. It's okay to not want to interact with a pussy.

No matter what your friends/the internet want you to think, you can actively desire one sex. It's not hateful. It's homosexuality.

Your sexuality doesn't have to be passive. You don't have to close your eyes or pretend that the dick/vagina isn't there. You can actively want only vagina or only dick.

It's not evil. It's not wrong. It's not discrimination. You are not a bigot for not wanting to date/have sex with the opposite sex, no matter what they say.

I honestly hate how I feel the need to say this. But, I think more LG individuals need to hear it.

Some days I just sit paralyzed because I know I have this massive list of things I need to get done but I feel so physically awful, it feels impossible.

I have been telling people for years that the company behind Pokemon Go had no-shit, for-realsies ties to the CIA and people never really took it that seriously. Anyway.

I hate the entire concept of rehabilitating a rapist. Rapists aren't ill. Raping is not a symptom. It is a misogynistic hate crime. Stop letting violent men pathologize themselves out of consequences. They're not the ones suffering from what they've done.

Xitter ate the tweet this is from, but Tim Bender posted it

On what the male loneliness epidemic is really about. Given actual alternatives, women are opting tf OUT of "traditional roles".

I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?

Don't become a housewife.

its probably a normal sign for the economy that all of my adulthood fantasies are like "imagine having your own kitchen living room and bathroom to decorate" "what if i could get on a train" "maybe one day i could purchase a sturdy pair of shoes" "i should save and invest in a single bicycle"

lvl 1: the plural of octopus is octopuses because the plural version of a word is the word with an s at the end

lvl 2: the plural version of octopus is octopi because if a word ends with "us" the plural version replaces the "us" with "i" e.g. cactus -> cacti and fungus -> fungi

lvl 3: actually, that rule is only for latin words. octopus is a greek word and the correct plural is octopuses or octopodes

lvl 4: actually, language is descriptive not prescriptive. since enough people over time have used octopi as the plural for octopus, it's a valid plural

lvl 5: the plural of octopus is octopeese, like geese

[asteroidtroglodyte]

Lvl 6: My Marine Biology professor told me it was technically “Octopods” to bring it in line with “Cephalopod,” but that if the class is falling asleep you can call them “Octopussies”

If it’s humiliating for a man to do then it’s humiliating for a woman to do, you’re just used to women being humiliated

[sailor-moon-rest-deactivated202]

There's a movie called "I Am Not an Easy Man" that was making the rounds on radblr recently. The plot is essentially that an average french man hits his head and wakes up in a world where women inhabit the male gender role and vice-versa. At first, he is outwardly angry at his treatment as an oppressed man but eventually begins to conform so that he can survive. I was struck by how ridiculous the men looked fully waxed, in revealing "dress-shorts", obsessing over their weight and penis shape and facial structure, constantly styled to appeal to a female gaze. It was funny at first until I realized that is how women look to men. Every time they see us decorated for their enjoyment they are reminded of their power over us, that we will humiliate ourselves because we have little choice otherwise.

It’s 2026, and we have a slur for women who complain (Karen) but not one for men who rape, murder and torture?

“Everyone watches porn so it’s okay!!!” Will never mean anything to me, compared to the abuse and trauma that women have been through after being raped on tape for years. Do better

This is why I don’t like it when I hear people saying ”Porn isn’t real, it’s just acting”.

Every hit and slap the woman receives is real. Every time a male performer inflicts pain on the female performer, she feels it. How can one say for sure that the woman in the porn video crying from pain was just acting?

Porn isn’t just an act. It’s real. It’s just not realistic. As in, you should not expect that from sexuality or intimacy.

i hate the word spicy can we bring back calling things erotic

rolling up to Wendy's to get an erotic chicken sandwich

[iconuk01]

I never thought Terry Pratchett's advice would be useful in THIS context

'Erotic' is when you use a feather.

'Kinky' is when you use a chicken.

[wanderingaldecaldo]

So you're saying I need to order a kinky chicken sandwich?

[inkskinned]

no, i understand the only way out is through, i know this and i am very familiar with the concept and i have forced myself through and through and through and through, like an arrow to an apple; like a bird to the air. i push myself through mesh and sieve and stormdrain.

i am saying this thing is like stone to me. i am saying i have taken a pickaxe and a plow and a chisel and a spoon to it and i have made no dent or scratch in the surface. i have pushed and pushed, sisyphus beside me, and still my skin gave before the stone could.

i am telling you if there is a passage i do not see or some kind of clever way to thwart this enemy i'll take it. i've been up down and sideways of it, i've whispered to it and cajoled it and sang to it. i have tended to it like a kitten and i've kicked it to the curb. i have exhausted all available avenues and approaches as are available to me. i'll do whatever stupid fetch quest or answer the riddles three. i am standing here and every part of my body hurts and the stone is unmoved. please. if you know how to resolve this, i'm begging you.

and still, you say. the only way out is through.

So one of the things that can apparently contribute to kidney issues in cats is if they eat too much dry food and don't drink enough water; cats are adapted to get a lot of their water from their food since they're originally desert animals, and might not get enough water if they don't eat wet food. Unfortunately, Dozy won't eat wet food no matter what; she categorically refuses to touch the stuff. So a few months ago, we were looking for ways to get Dozy more fluids, and my wife noticed at the pet store a cat drink--basically meat broth with some floaty bits in--that was low-protein and meant for cats with kidney issues. So we figured, worth a try, right?

Great news: she loved it. Super tasty apparently. Great success. Along with the kidney-sensitive treats we found, it was a nice way to supplement her diet. Unforseen long-term consequence though: she loved it so much she began demanding it throughout the day. Like, would come up to us and meow, and meow, and meow, and not stop, until we got up, went to the kitchen, and got her some cat drink.

And by doing so on demand, we have unfortunately created a monster: no matter what we are doing at home, Dozy knows that if she sits next to you and meows, 1) you know what she wants, and 2) you know that she will not stop until you get it for her now. And when you do get it, she gets extremely excited. She will bum rush the kitchen door as you enter. She will run around your feet as you open the can. She will let out the creakiest, crunchiest, most nails-on-the-chalkboard meow you've ever heard if she thinks you're not going fast enough.

I do not begrudge her this. It is gratifying to care for a creature whose most ardent desires are so simple that it is this easy to fulfill them. But I am a little sad, because I know in my heart that I have never loved any comestible as much as she loves this cat drink. She has a pleasure of a purity and intensity that I will never know.

I know this is obvious and probably not worth repeating but it’s so fucked up how many men jerkoff to the idea of sexually assaulting women they politically disagree with. This is common regardless of where on the political spectrum they claim to be on. Males really do view rape as something used to degrade and ‘break’ women who step out of line.

My first ever perma-ban from Reddit was because I called this out.

A man (I’m assuming liberal) photoshopped Tomi Lahren’s face onto a sex doll and said that’s all she’s good for. I think she’s a racist POS, but that was the definition of misogyny. I went off and said “it’s hilarious how men on both sides objectify women and think rape and murder are appropriate consequences for disagreeing with them.”

The next day I got a message that I was permanently banned for “inciting violence.”

Liberal men do it to conservative women, conservative men do it to liberal women, and centrist/independent men do it to both. Men only have two insults for women: no one wants to have sex with you (you’re fat/ugly/a femcel) or everyone wants to have sex with you (slut/whore/etc).
