Absolutely fucking despise how the trans movement has co-opted the term conversion therapy. No, refusing to subject a child to unnecessary medicalisation is NOT the practice of homophobic psychiatric and/or sexual abuse directed at homosexuals. Every time I see it used I now have to check if they mean actual conversion therapy or “my counsellor politely asked me to do some critical self reflecting.”

Men are still more likely to be violent towards you than women are, no matter how much you hate women

She's welcome to hang with men, see how that works out. 🫡

So the men's room is so terrifying and brutal that grown men who look slightly feminine need to fear for their very lives if they're made to even enter one, but also they're the pinnacle of inclusion and safety for trans people. Okay.

“Make up isn’t about men! It’s for me!”

Make up is how we assure men they’re the default. Every default setting is reserved for men. Everything default in humans is the boy version of things now. A resting face is male. A smile is female. Textured skin is male. Flawless skin is female. Small, normal eyes are male. Big eyes are female. Colorless lips are male. Colored lips are female. Bushy eyebrows are male. Shaped eyebrows are female. Plain clothing is male. Pants are male. Good quality is male. Cotton is male. Covered up is male. Costumes are female. Skirts are female. Poor quality is female. Polyester is female. Naked is female.

Responsive is male. Quiet is female. Alive is male. Inanimate is female. Active is male. Passive is female. Curious is male. Stupid is female. Wanting is male. Desire-less is female. Self interested is male. Discontented from self is female.

Everything about masculinity can be summed up as “what is normal and neutral for all humans.”

Everything about femininity can be summed up as “marking women as ‘other’”

The entire point of gendered differences is to mark men as the default. Their thoughts, feelings, perspectives, health symptoms, needs, perceptions, and priorities are the default. Even when a woman recounts a story a man wasn’t present for, his account of it is seen as more reliable. Because he is who we default to. She is “other.” Toilet paper is provided because it’s needed by men. It’s default. Pads and tampons, just as important, are luxury or personal items. If anything, annoying to have to see because they don’t represent the default state. The presence of something female that doesn’t please a man is seen as something out of place that needs to be cleaned up and removed to restore life to its default, male state.

Make up isn’t about beauty. It’s about men hating the idea of women being as naturally occurring as they are, and having a right to our own realities. It’s deeper than looking pretty. It’s deeper than sex. It isn’t about whether your make up is natural looking, either.

When a man says he likes a natural looking woman, he means, “Textured skin and dullness and natural eyebrows are MEN’S THING a woman who has those is broken.”

It doesn’t matter if you’re a goth or you’re typically feminine. The point is that you don’t resemble the men.

In countries where a veil is required for women, does it matter if her hijab is kind of ugly? Is that the point? No. Most women aren’t wearing luxury fabrics or brand new hijabs. They’re wearing whatever they have. The point is that they are identifiable as female so men can treat them differently and not accidentally like equal humans.

When women aren’t required to wear dresses anymore, we start being required to wear make up. We are always required to do SOMETHING. Look at the Elf on a Shelf type dolls where they put lipstick on the girl ones. No matter what, the boy version of things is always the natural, unchanged, normal default. And if they make a girl version it’s that. There’s an elf. And there’s a girl elf. We are a spin off of men. That’s how they see us.

Pamela Anderson choosing to wear no makeup (not “natural” makeup, not a “no-makeup makeup” look, but actually no makeup on her skin) to events and letting her wrinkles and age spots be clearly visible is actually groundbreaking and anyone who paints it as not a big deal, or worse, as somehow an attack on some other group, is a moron

I get so pissed when people say this. The education system was literally created by and for men. Women weren’t allowed to get an education for hundreds of years. Women are still not allowed to get an education in certain countries. Every time women are better at men than something they blame it on “the system.”

The only thing that has changed about the education system is that girls are now allowed in it.

Girls and women were barred from education because it was seen as a "waste" to try to educate a "dumb woman." But now those "dumb girls" are beating the shit out of boys in their own game that was built by and for them.

Their male egos can’t cope with girls doing better in school. They have to create false narratives like to feel better.

You can’t change your gender because gender is the social expectations placed on you by virtue of your sex e.g. femininity is the gender assigned to females.

You can’t change your sex because sex is an immutable part of your biology that extends down to the cellular level e.g. female is the term for a member of the sex that produces large gametes.

What you *can* do is wear whatever you want and act however you want and like whoever you want regardless of what anybody says and regardless of your gender and sex. That is truly radical.
