This is all part of the patriarchal idea that men should always have their way no matter what. Keeping 50% of the population in a constant state of terror at making the wrong move, because of the threat of violence,  is a calculated strategy, just as it is in all these sorts of power dynamics. The ones who wish to stay in a position of power need to keep those who would rebel against them in a constant state of fear that they MIGHT get hurt if they protest.

The LGBAlliance is the most disgusting thing

This is throwing away decades of work and progression, all because people are bigots. It’s people like them that are tearing the LGBT community apart - a community that was built to be a safe haven; a community that was built for all those excluded from society to be accepted.

Terfs are a disease on the LGBT community that only have goal in mind: to destroy the LGBT community

[horecrux]

You sound just like the abusive narcissistic ex that your community is :)

LGB♡♡♡

[regina-geourge]

“tearing the lgbt community apart?” trans people did that when they started treating gay people like we’re evil for not wanting the opposite sex just bc they claim to have a female/male brain and refused to do anything about the rampant homophobia in their community. we’re better off without you constantly dragging us down and making us unsafe in our own spaces. you did this to yourselves.

[radbadbi]

no such alliance would’ve needed to happen had y'all been willing to accept that gays and lesbians are not morally obligated to fuck you. stay mad.  keep perpetuating that homophobic “not sucking my dick is oppressive” narrative, see how it keeps working for you.

[fyxan-deactivated20180801]

ooh!  pick me!!

you completely misunderstand sexual objectification: all objectification is dehumanising.  you’re being treated like an object, not a person.  that’s the point

you don’t understand basic feminist theory, nor do you care to

you don’t empathise with women, you don’t have a grip on the female social experience, & you don’t care

[radicallyvegan]

More evidence that trans activism and feminism have opposing goals and are not compatible.

[chadradfem]

“why do I want it so badly?” because you’re a misogynist male who fetishises womanhood.

[kittiesatemypronouns]

“I’ve been told over and over that sexual objectification is bad.” Notice dude had to be TOLD. He had to be “trained” to see it because men aren’t forced to swim in the ocean of misogyny and objectification that serves to inhibit and belittle us. it doesn’t happen to men. He was an outside observer. Now it’s a toy to him.

This is what happens when you let men into feminism; they cause the whole movement to regress and demand that their concerns be centered.

wow the homophobes sure are having a moment now that blatant homophobia is progressive

[h-is-for-homo-deactivated202105]

This is conversion therapy pure and simple and it’s sickening to see people celebrating it. Gay men are same sex attracted. We are ONLY attracted to biological males, not silicone strap ons on female bodies.

[vladtheunfollower]

this is horrifying and rape culture

[lesbian-lizards]

Ugh the second gif. People who insinuate that you’re “afraid of sex” or “afraid of having a good time” and therefore should fuck them are not to be trusted, and that goes for any sexuality. But the conversion therapy rhetoric here is also off the charts. This conversation should have ended at the first gif. There’s no reason that a gay man should ever have to explain himself or his sexuality beyond that.

[kittiesatemypronouns]

“Afraid you’ll get your world rocked?” Negging, grooming, hostile, manipulative.

End of story.

[herstoria]

is this on tv? or a webseries?

[theoldlesbianwithcats]

It was a TV series. (Never watched it though)

[herstoria]

this shit is making it to mainstream media and it’s horrifying, this is conversion therapy rhetoric repackaged as “woke” and overcoming your homosexuality is seen as “character growth”

people ask gay people in an invasive manner to consider having sex they don’t want with the opposite sex but no one ever stops and thinks “wait why am I guitling and coercing people into sex they need to be convinced to have instead of freely given consent”

absolutely sickening

[literallyaflame]

someone: an alarming number of young girls are being pressured to contour and highlight their faces so that they look 10 years older, which is already not great, and then they take all their selfies with an app that makes their faces slimmer and their skin lighter and their eyes bigger and this is MAYBE not great for their self esteem

a grown adult, somehow: makeup is a choice, IDIOT, and Snapchat filters are ALL for FUN, I don’t ACTUALLY wanna look like a DOG haha………. society is fake and kids can just CHOOSE not to be influenced by the things that are thrown at them 24/7!!! i am very smart

[julienbakerfavormp3-deactivated]

what really amuses me whenever I see the “pregnant people” not “pregnant women” debate is that there was a case in 1979 where the Supreme Court of Canada found that denying pregnancy benefits was not discrimination against women but against pregnant people. that it just affected women? 🤷🏽‍♀️ too bad, so sad. 🤷🏽‍♀️

the case was overruled but lol. obscuring sex based oppression isn’t nearly as new and trendy as you think it is, tumblr kids. old white men have been on it for some time!

That’s because it’s not skilled labor, anyone can do those things. In order to make good money, you have to be able to do something that not everyone can do.

[ralfmaximus]

ARTISTS aren’t skilled labor? Really.

Make me some art RIGHT NOW. Paint me a portrait in oil-based acrylic. 

What? You don’t know that acrylics are water based, not oil based? Gee, that’s something only a skilled painter might know.    

Or instead compose me a song. Design packaging for this new product we’re launching in 10 days. Make me a webpage with eye-popping graphics you didn’t steal from another site.

Artists do all that. In fact, every manufactured thing you touch passed through the hands of a skilled artist at some point.

FAST FOOD! If fast food is ‘unskilled’ then why does Wendys, McDonalds (et al) expend time on training employees? Surely if any asshole off the street could do the work they can just slip right in there and start slinging happy meals on day one, right? 

Do you know the correct EH/OSHA-approved way to wash your hands? Do it wrong and you are literally violating the law. 

Quick: what do the symptoms of Hepatitis-A look like?  

Or let’s talk janitorial services. Do YOU think you can clean an entire floor of an office building in the allotted time? Where does the trash go? The recycling? How do you get ahold of the waste removal company when the dumpsters are inexplicably full at 4am? Whom do you call? What’s the account number? Is this even your job to worry about? If the dumpsters are full where do you put a night’s worth of collected trash?

What do you do with hazardous waste you might encounter, if you’re cleaning (say) an industrial workspace? Dispose of it incorrectly and that’s a crime.

What’s the procedure for when you encounter a trespasser in a secure building where supposedly nobody but you is working? Can you identify a fake or expired employee badge? Are you supposed to? Your training probably covered that. 

How much would we have to pay you, dear @ithinkthatthismustbetheplace, to deal with a seriously clogged toilet? Shit-smeared walls, standing waste water, the entire place trashed as if it was 3am after a frat party? You have less than an hour to return that restroom to pristine condition. And no, building services is not going to help you.  

You don’t think that requires skill? 

Or adequate compensation?

[reelaroundthedavekan]

All labor is skilled labor

[tinabelcherseverythingisokface]

^^^

The idea of “skilled” or “unskilled” labor is inherently classist, and misses the fucking point anyway. All labor has dignity, whether you THINK it’s “skilled” or not, and all people deserve to live comfortably, whether they’re able to work or not.

When you peel back the layers of this bullshit argument it becomes obvious that it’s just another way to keep us huddled masses infighting instead of building guillotines.

[cartwheelandfaceplant]

Also we know and have probably worked under bosses and managers who were fucking useless but made way more because they were the boss’s nephew. So the division of the cost of labor isn’t based on skill verse unskilled necessarily.

[whatthefuuuuuuccckkkk]

It could be the easiest bullshit job ever and the person doing it is STILL valuable and should be respected

[floralsbi-deactivated20240406]

tbh if you have a problem with female-only spaces…you’re the reason they exist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[errorschacha]

There’s no text so fiendish and manipulative that it’s too dangerous to read. Comparing works from opposing viewpoints is a standard scholastic practice. Critical readings and analyses of material one finds objectionable in whole or in part is kind of what academia is, you know? The slickest, most well-written propaganda can be dissected. “Know your enemy”? Anybody? Anybody?

[errorschacha]

If you find yourself around sentiments like, “Our enemy is too dangerous for you to ‘know.’ You might be contaminated by bad ideas; knowledge is therefore forbidden,” what you should do is leave, and quickly. Getting out is far easier before any border closings start.
