porn is so harmful for people. this has been a feminist talking point since the 70s. why are we forgetting about those protest? it is so extremely addictive, produces a distorted view of women’s image, girls and women’s humanity, and the industry around it is largely exploitative/abusive/racist etc.

[cannibal-flowerbomb]

I suggest getting angrier about misogyny.

[cannibal-flowerbomb]

"at least be nice about-" no. Girl. Kill him over it. We're done. It's been centuries of this bullshit since time immemorial and he hasn't learned. Obliterate him.

One thing that never sat right with me is the idea that if you feel bad, you're a good person because bad people don't care enough to experience guilt. I get its goal is to help dissuade people from emotional self flagellation in response to intense feelings of guilt, oftentimes unwarranted ones too...But I think this sentiment has gotten us to a point where people think that proclaiming their guilt and self deprecating is tantamount to active work towards self improvement.

Idk crocodile tears and all that. You still chewed my leg off and are weeping over it etc.

You’re allowed to dislike the acronym but that doesn’t change that you are a TERF. You can call yourself a “Gender Critical” Radfem but it’s the same thing. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t identify with it”

So are you saying that self-identification is actually bullshit and doesn’t change your reality?

something tells me it's supposed to feel othering, like a freak show of some kind. or you know, the stories about the other cultures back in the day: japanese people were sexy geishas, native americans were savage killers with a feathered head and a tomahawk and african people were naked drummers. those images stick to your head even if you have been introduced to actual, normal, everyday people from those cultures after the fact, and you will end up feeling like there just is something inherently performative, carnevalistic and weird about their cultures and existence.

i can't help but feel that if i had been introduced to a drag queen before i knew a single other homosexual person in my life, it would have taken me five years longer to come to terms with my own sexual orientation.

Watching the process of this absolutely stunning painting makes it even more beautiful.

“I am asking you to retaliate against rapists, to organize against rapists. We know who the rapists are. We know because they do it to us. He did it to me; he did it to my best friend. We know who he is. We know that it happened: when, where, and how. I'm asking you to take rape seriously. If the law won't do anything, you must do something.

I'm asking you to close down the pornography outlets wherever you can and to stop the distribution wherever you can, in whatever way you can.

I am asking you to stop passing: stop having feminism be part of a secret life. I am asking you not to apologize to anyone for standing up for women.

I am asking you to organize political support for women who kill men who have been hurting them. They have been isolated and alone.

This is a political issue. They're being punished, because at some moment in their lives, they resisted a domination that they were expected to accept. They stand there in jail for us, for every one of us who got away without having to pull the trigger, for every one of us who lived to tell about getting away without having the trigger pulled on us.

I am asking you to stop men who beat women. Get them jailed or get them killed, but stop them. Men who rape make a choice to rape. And men who beat women make a choice to beat women. And we women now have choices that we have to make to fight back.

I am asking you to look at every single political possibility for fighting back-instead of saying, "I asked him, I told him, but he just wouldn't stop." We need to find ways to do it together. But we need to do it.”

I am once again begging you to get your hands on physical media and/or save your fave stuff OFFLINE.

And support your local library. Go to library board meetings. Speak against book banning. Join a Friends of the Library group.

if theres one thing that really pissed me off from my 3 years of architecture i took in high school it's learning about how we used to have all these little techniques to maximize or minimize heat or warmth and now we just merrily abandoned all those to have the same copypaste style buildings everywhere that are often INCREDIBLY unoptimized to the local weather and climate so we can just throw more money at our heating and cooling bills

[the-supernatural-atheist]

where i live it is hot as balls approximately 80% of the year. i do not want a massive butt-ugly grey mcmansion with a huge echoey open-concept kitchen-livingroom-foyer-diningroom-staircase that has huge windows so i can have an hvac unit the size of a barge heaving and straining to keep it at a constant 72 the grees. i want a north indian traditional style home with small windows to force the airflow to cool, decorative grates to limit the amount of sunlight, and a COURTYARD with a POND *smashes unspecified large object*

[makaeru]

I hate learning about instances of "oh yeah we know how to do that, we just don't".

It’s easy to look at these and assume “well, high crime cities need more police,” but i think that’s putting the cart before the horse.

Police make crime worse.

[transhuman-priestess]

Police take fiscal oxygen out of the room, away from actual social support programs. The money spent on policing could go to housing, nutritional services, healthcare, civil rights, building inspections, labor rights enforcement, street maintenance, public transportation. But it goes to paying guys to sit around idling Ford Explorers all day and hitting poor people with sticks.

[bogleech]

Crime follows poverty in absolutely every single case. Every single “high crime city” is because of the fucking poverty.

south korea is one of the most misogynistic ‘democratic’ countries. remember the femicides and the endless telegraph rings of men posting their wives and daughters? the arbitrary line drawn between prostitution and the porn industry and trafficking vs some ‘global elite pedophiles’ is just based on money and power.

[tockthewatchdog]

Does anyone know what we are doing right now or why

[radical-f]

America has effectively gutted the wires out of its house to sell the copper for a quick buck so the only competitive thing it has left is the tech industry. AI is the confidence scheme to make it seem like there’s still value left in the system

studying history is like. here's to another beautiful day of not being pregnant and of having no obligation to ever be. thank you women who fight for abortion and contraception and independance from men for another beautiful day of not being pregnant and of having no obligation to ever be

Their God is male

Their phrophets are male

Their apostles are male

Their books tell periods are dirty

Their thinkers are misogynistic

Their saints would call you a whore

Don't defend your oppression
