The older i've gotten the more i've come to think that a substantial amount of people (mostly men) don't really have an internal sense of morality. Like there are two questions they ask themselves when deciding to do something and that is 1. will this benefit me and 2. will i face negative consequences for doing it. and that's it. No asking themselves if it negatively impacts others, just selfishness.

it actually infuriates me that we as a society have decided to medicalize and pathologize gender nonconformity

Dworkin put it best; "The right wants women to be private property and the left wants women to be public property"

Either way, feminism is in direct opposition to male interests.

“It is common belief that whatever the situation, both sexes faced it alike. But the male peasant, however cruelly oppressed, always had the right to beat his wife.”

this is so true and this is why i’m so confused about why so many people (including many black women) are mad at Paris Mwenda for saying she feels like she is a woman before she’s black. because black men can hypothetically find a safe haven from anti-black racism within black spaces, but black women in black spaces are still subjected to misogyny, domestic violence, rape, etc. i think that was her point. that black men can seek refuge from their oppression by forming relationships with black women and creating and socializing within black communities, but there is no refuge for black women. because even in those communities that should be a safe space from racism, they are subjected to misogyny and male on female violence. like she’s literally right?? she didn’t say that being black is totally chill and causes no issues because of racism, she just said she feels like she’s a woman before she’s black. like oppressed men might be oppressed, but they always still oppress women within their same oppressed class! poor men still beat their poor wives! black men are misogynistic to black women! jewish men etc etc etc forever. and everyone is flaming her and claiming that she probably only dates white women, and that she’s whitewashed. she’s right!!!!

Swinging at the hornets nest here (the “sex work is work” crowd won’t like this one lol) but there was a post going around about like “if you work in hospitality and you think you see a sex worker, no you didn’t. Keep your mouth shut and let them make their money” is honestly sending me. As many of you know, one of my jobs is working front desk at a hotel and like no lads…we can’t “look the other way” at times. Yes, we know when the working girls check in (many are regulars who are open about it, plus after working their long enough you Know™️ when a woman is because you can clock the signs) and of course we can’t stop them but there are times when you literally have to say something. Here are a couple of instances that have happened on my shifts alone:

-I was checking in two girls and knew something was off and asked to see both their ID’s. Only one had a passport and her 18th birthday was literally a week ago. The other one handed me her high school student card. We had to call the police when their pimp came in and started making threats bc we refused to check them in.

-a sex worker checked in the night before and a housekeeper went into the room the next morning and found the woman in a bloody mess. There were chunks of human tissue scattered throughout the room (the housekeeper quit after that. Honestly, housekeepers are literally on the front lines of the bullshit but that’s another story)

-something about a “couple” was offfffffff at check in. The woman was standing with her hands behind her back, had her eyes glued to the floor, and wouldn’t answer questions despite her name being on the reservation. The man was answering for her. When I asked to see her ID, he hands it to me, and when I handed it to her, her arms were covered in bruises. We didn’t let them check in

-there are two properties and one of them has an agreement with a women’s shelter. I’ve checked in women into one property only to see them come in months later to the other property under the womens shelters’ reservation with bruises and broken limbs (many of whom are indigenous women).

So yeah bottom line: with the World Cup soon approaching, all of us -front desk, maintenance, housekeeping, the kitchen staff, sales, you name it all departments- have had to do extensive modules on clocking the signs of human trafficking. You can’t just look the other way because it can mean missing the underaged girl or preventing horrific violence. Yes we have our regulars and yes sometimes it is what it is but no you can’t just look the other way and let them “secure the bag” because I guarantee there’s a pimp in the lobby/parking lot who’s the one getting the bag at her expense.

I DO kinkshame choking kink ppl actually. Strangling your partner in bed irl is seriously dangerous, even with consent. Consent is not a get out of jail free card for physically hurting somebody. Same with feederism. Encouraging a person to overeat to the point of obesity, even with consent, is genuinely harmful. Argue with the wall idc

You’re into pee? Feet? Edging? Handcuffs? Sure. No physical harm. But the second you risk someone else’s life, health, or quality of life to get your rocks off, I don’t fw you

I could also get into how these kinks disproportionately hurt women, but I haven’t gathered my thoughts about that yet

[trueheartberry]

I don’t think handcuffs should get a pass. Restraining your partner so she can’t even attempt to fight back is a golden ticket for abusing her. The argument becomes that if she consented to being restrained she obviously consented to everything that happened afterwards.

[radicalandmathematical]

Yeah, restraining someone effectively means she can't get up and leave, she can't fight back, she's stuck, at the mercy of her partner. She has no agency. That may not be physical harm directly, but it's very unsafe and makes her more vulnerable to physical harm.

[cheaphalloweencostume]

i think i am going insane

[mrblackhaironthestreet]

Apparently it is impossible for Tumblr users to think of a not ageist way to describe their tastes, because everything must always be compared to how inferior children are -- despite the fact that it is pretty much never the choice of any child or children when media aimed at them is dumbed down etc.

Things when bad: kids and children are involved!

Things when good: this is very Adult this is specifically Adult only Adults can understand or want this

Women who act like wearing heavy makeup is an act of feminist rebellion and women who don't wear makeup (or only wear light makeup) are "pick mes" remind me of skaters in the 90s who thought they were an oppressed minority because they weren't allowed to skateboard in supermarkets.

[queen-mayhem]

Yes yes, you're so brave for wearing a full beat out in public every day. Remind me, what consequences do you face for that again?

People giving you strange looks at the grocery store?

Your boss telling you that neon pink face paint isn't appropriate in the workplace?

Men telling you they don't find it attractive? Oh, it's mostly that one, isn't it?

[chemtra1ls-deactivated20210901]

You. Cannot. Tell.

[redfemmayy]

But then what will men use to blame women for the violence of men ?

[gnomebutch]

“you want rapists dead? Well most rapists are family members or friends of the victim!” literally whyyy would that change my stance at all idc. better to have a dead dad than a rapist dad.
