Choosing the boys over a woman is so gay that even real homosexuals don't do that shit. Straight men are in the true cult of the cock, gay men are just normal men that have sex with men.

[truerself]

"To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men.

The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire... those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex.

Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving."

when things like this appear, i wonder what a scaled down piano would look like

obviously you cant have pianos sized to every individual, but i wonder if they were scaled to male and female averages (2), maybe there would be more elite female pianists

[friendlymathematician]

they exist: https://www.worldpianonews.com/new-product/hailun-pianos-and-ds-keyboards/

a "small" piano that's 7/8ths of a standard piano and a "medium" piano that's 15/16ths of a standard piano. there is even the possibility to change the keyboard of a piano between players between these three sizes so you don't need three entire pianos to accommodate more hand sizes. however, they haven't been adopted widely yet. and we all know why (it would primarily benefit women, therefore the institutions don't care).

Diversity wins! The Supreme Court of India, that refuses to legalize same sex marriage, has granted equal marriage rights to heterosexual transgender marriages. They are being homophobic but in a trans friendly way

[pineapplerightsideupcake]

It’s almost like gender ideology reinforces patriarchy and homophobia rather than confronting it.

[she-is-ovarit]

India’s supreme court declines to legally recognise same-sex marriage

Judges say decision should be made by parliament but stress that such unions should not face discrimination

[like-a-ruby]

if homosexuals are granted more rights if one half of the couple transitions & they can outwardly look like a heterosexual couple it sounds like it would put pressure on gay ppl to transition like what iran has been doing... and this is how the ""community"" reacts

the same ppl who will look at you like you're crazy if you say transsexuality was originally & is still often a way to erase homosexuality will say stuff like "homophobia L but trans ally W" and not see the obvious

Imagine if people said stuff like "white people face oppression because they can't eat fried chicken due to people assuming it makes them ghetto" or "white people are affected by the fact that they get better jobs than black people because people assume they want that responsibility"

That'd be crazy right? I'm so glad nobody says anything like "men face oppression because they can't cry and can't get therapy lest they be assumed to be weak like women. That's totally unfair to MEN and proves that society hates MEN." That'd ALSO be crazy, am I right? 💀 Good thing nobody says stupid shit like that, right?

Y'all ever think about how girls are shamed for going through puberty? We grow hair and it's disgusting and we have to shave it. We get our periods and nobody can ever know when we're on it. We start getting sexual desire and have to be chaste lest we be called unpleasant names, and we're also taught our first times are going to hurt and this is "normal". Even breasts are shamed. Don't wear that. Cover up. Why are men old enough to be your father staring at you? Why are your boy classmates pinching you and making gross comments? Why are you suddenly being harassed? Why aren't you as free anymore? It's such agony. Growing up is something you have to be ashamed of. Something to be dreaded because of all the things thrust at you and expected of you.

Boys are taught to love their growing bodies. They're not taught shame. They draw dicks everywhere. Boners are funny. They're proud of their body hair because they're taught it makes them a man. Their sexual desires are encouraged. In fact, they're told it makes them less than a man if they never "get pussy". A boy I knew in high school told me he was worried about going to college as a virgin because that "was bad". Boys are never expected to endure painful sex.

Boys and men have so much freedom and their bodies are a source of empowerment for them. Girls and women have the exact opposite experience. When girls start getting their new bodies and new feelings, it's a source of shame and a whole new set of restrictions. No wonder so many women are unhappy with womanhood and their lives. We are never taught to prioritize our own pleasure. We are never taught that our bodies are okay.

[antiyourwokehomophobia2]

You'd have be an absolute idiot not to see the correlation between the genuinely abhorrent misogyny in the world and the increasing number of women who don't want to be women anymore.

[sapphsorrows]

I think it's fucking disgusting how trans identified males say "well women who can't have children are still viewed as women" as if infertile women haven't been viewed by men as sinful and shameful for being "barren" for most of history. you didn't give a fuck about these women until you could use them as a shield against people who call you out for going into the women's restroom as a man.

still thinking of this paragraph from what was the girlboss?

“Progressive” Educator: Boys have natural, biological needs that the school day, and female teachers, don’t accommodate. For example, boys benefit from male teachers because they are biologically incapable of treating women as authority figures and female teachers are real bitches about this.”

[larkandkatydid]

Boys suffer mental health harms whenever girls are better at them at anything. We must prevent this from happening so that Our Boys can heal.

[thesinisterspinster]

Education was made for boys and now that girls have won the right to their education (in some places) and are showing up with something to prove now it oh will someone think of the boys they arent doing well in the education system made for them.

[friendlymathematician]

when boys do better than girls at e.g. maths: have you considered that boys are maybe just biologically superior?

when girls do better than boys at literally anything: this is an international problem that must be solved with all available resources, a crisis for men and boys everywhere, how can we make girls worse to fix this?
