i get angry at any leftist sentiment expressed through the language of sexually dominating a woman. i have no respect for "fucking your wife" rhetoric nor do i find it funny and the fact that it's so common within leftism disgusts me

I can’t believe some people really think that if you’re against porn and prostitution, then you’re also against sex. Painting us as conservative puritan bitches is just a lazy way of ignoring what we’re saying. 

[oneoclockfox]

When a feminist says “We are against sexual exploitation and abuse,” and a man responds, “So you hate sex?” he has just given you vital information about himself.

Not to mention the normalization of 12, 16, and 24 hour shifts in the medical field, as well as there being no legal recourse to refuse being mandated to stay beyond 24 hours when you don't have relief.

My classmates that are in the nursing major are constantly talking about how egregiously brutal their education is and I'm over here like,

speaking as someone who has a REALLY hard time feeling safe in a doctor's office, I would have more peace of mind if the people with power over me weren't psychologically tortured for years to qualify for the job

programs like that are selecting for the people that are willing to internalize toxic ideas about suffering, listening to their body, and setting boundaries

Everytime I talk about the the unfair amount of domestic labor that’s placed on women, men usually laugh and say, “Well my wife is the boss! She’s the one calling the shots, we all follow her orders 😅”

Yes you all follow her orders, but the mother is not getting the compensation like a ceo does… she is the overworked store manager first to arrive, last to leave, all responsibility and anything that goes wrong is on her shoulders, everything is planned by her, all events, maintenance, cleaning, children’s school functions, medical records…

You don’t give orders, Sir, because you are the uninvested worker that clocks in and clocks out and doesn’t really give a shit if the building burns down in the meantime, because you know she’ll always be there to pick up everyone’s slack, since the mother is the one that is always blamed for a failing family dynamic

[hungrynikita]

Also, when men say “my wife is the boss of everything in the house” or trot out the MRA talking point about women making 80-whatever% of financial decisions, many of them are being deliberately vague about the types of decisions they’re talking about.

The vast majority of household decisions are routine, boring, annoying matters that men have absolutely no interest in taking part in. Like sir, your wife is not controlling the brand of toilet paper you use by ignoring your pleas to be included. She’s doing it because she buys the groceries, tracks which supplies are used and how frequently, and decides on a brand based on her extensive knowledge of her family’s budgets and needs. She’s not controlling you, she’s doing you a favor the size of which you don’t even appreciate, but you should at least have the self-awareness to know that you are not actually being maliciously denied the opportunity to price shop for spaghetti sauce.

On the other hand, every single man I’ve ever known who has trotted out the “my wife makes all the decisions” line has taken an incredibly active role in choosing rare big ticket items like cars and electronics. So yes, dad is getting 1% input into the daily minutiae of planning and purchasing staple items, but he’s getting 50-99% input into the things he actually cares about. It’s unbelievable that men have the audacity to complain about this.

Lefistists need to stop thinking they’re better than far right conservatives because I remember following people who would retweet radical abolitionist posts about how rapists, pedophiles and domestic abusers can be integrated back into society but at the same time they’d retweet posts about how everyone should stop supporting this lesbian comedian because a few years ago she made a joke equating sexuality to genitals and that’s just fucking irredeemable

Minnesota's Largest Indian Reservation Celebrates First Home-Born Bison Calf

Bison typically give birth in the spring, and the tribe's bison foreman, Jack Heisler, said it's an example of how wildlife doesn't follow a

The White Earth Nation was surprised and overjoyed as a bison calf was born out of season, a sign the band said demonstrates “resilience, healing, and hope.”

It’s the first bison calf born on the White Earth Reservation since it started a buffalo harvest and breeding program two years ago through the Inter-Tribal Buffalo Council.

Bison typically give birth in the spring, and the tribe’s bison foreman, Jack Heisler, said it’s an example of how wildlife “doesn’t follow a script.”

“This bison calf being born, it didn’t follow a script either, because the mama is so young,” Heisler told MPR News.

The White Earth Band is the largest of the six band which make up the Minnesota Chippewa, and their reservation is the largest in the state by land area. Its bison herd numbers 10, a number the nation hopes to grow to 44 by next year.

“This historic birth marks a new chapter in our ongoing efforts to restore the bison to Anishinaabe lands, reconnecting with a sacred relative that once roamed freely across our homelands,” the tribe posted on Facebook. “The calf’s arrival is more than just a moment of joy. It’s a sign of resilience, healing, and hope for future generations.”

thank you leftist man for supporting women's rights to cater to you sexually no matter what. you are so brave. i also really appreciate how you criticize conservative views that keep women from being sexually available to you. as a male feminist truly you understand that the ultimate goal of feminism is for women to choose to do whatever is most convenient for your penis. you are our #1 ally.

''Why for example, does a twenty-two-year-old man pursue a sixteen-year-old adolescent? Because he is stimulated by her? Obviously not. They are at completely different developmental points in life with a dramatic imbalance in their levels of knowledge and experience. He is attracted to power and seeks a partner who will look up to him with awe and allow him to lead her. Of course, he usually tells her the opposite, insisting that he wants to be with her because of how unusually mature and sophisticated she is for her age. He may even compliment her on her sexual prowess and say how much power she has over him, setting up the young victim so that she won’t recognize what is happening to her. Even without a chronological age difference, some abusive men are drawn to women who have less life experience, knowledge, or self-confidence, and who will look up to the man as a teacher or mentor.''

Everytime one of these "protect women and girls" orgs go viral for doing something evil I like to take a look through their "wins" and see if they've ever helped protect even one single living woman or girl.

Collective Shout has:

Gotten a hotel to cancel a legal-aged porn star's reservation

Gotten a venue to cancel a Playboy Bunny themed party - again, attended by only adults

Pressured the Breast Cancer Foundation to pull ads that they found too sexy

got ads for a sex doll company removed because they felt the dolls resembled children

Got a beer coozy that had pinups of adult women printed on them discontinued.

Got an H&M ad pulled for back to school clothes for saying "Turn Heads"

Got Tyler the Creator banned from performing in New Zealand

I'm still scrolling and I have yet to see a single instance of a real, living woman or girl being protected by any one of their actions. They have on multiple occasions punished real, adult women for the audacity to be naked in some capacity they find distasteful.

Adding to this that they have lobbied to get a real pedophile released AND supported Cuties, which objectified and exploited real living children.

My main point is not that you have to love any of the things above, you can even hate them and wish they didn't exist. but they were able to dismantle the entire games industry and set a dark precedent regarding banks deciding who is morally good enough to spend money - and they aren't even helping any real women or girls in the process.

[femsolid]

got ads for a sex doll company removed because they felt the dolls resembled children

They were, in fact, child sex dolls. How much porn are you watching on the regular out of interest?

Pressured the Breast Cancer Foundation to pull ads that they found too sexy

That's the kind of ad you think is "sexy" instead of "sexist" I suppose. Men tell you to jump and you ask how high don't you?

This is what the "evil" feminist organisation explained:

"It’s October, which means Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For many sufferers and survivors of breast cancer, this can be a difficult time.

One reason for this is the sexualisation of breast cancer and breast cancer ‘awareness’ campaigns – campaigns that reduce women to their breasts and equate their worth with perky, in-tact breasts, with slogans like ‘I love boobies’, ‘Save Second Base’, or ‘Save the TaTas’.

Some companies even try to justify their sexist and exploitative treatment of women under the guise of ‘raising awareness’, or by making a token donation to a breast cancer charity."

Got an H&M ad pulled for back to school clothes for saying "Turn Heads"

lol that's one way of describing it

Yeah it's so "evil" to say that little girls, primary targets of sexual assault, should no be concerned about "turning heads" as they go to school. How's the pedophilia going?

Got a beer coozy that had pinups of adult women printed on them discontinued.

"Adult" doesn't mean "okay to degrade", just so you know.

It's so "evil" to say women aren't objects for men to purchase :/

Got Tyler the Creator banned from performing in New Zealand

He was never banned unfortunately. 5 seconds google search.

But here's the reason feminists protested his concert:

Gotten a venue to cancel a Playboy Bunny themed party - again, attended by only adults

Yeah so the reason feminists fight against Playboy (you must be new) is because it was created by a literal serial rapist who said horrible things about women and featured a naked little girl in his magasine. She was 10. Her name is Brooke Shields. The brand profited and still profits from human trafficking and continues to present women as objects. It's literally a sexist brand created by pimps.

Hey quick question. How evil do you have to be support these men? Pretty fucking evil don't you think? I'm always curious how women become anti-feminists so feel free to explain because it seems to me fighting against the sexual objectification of women and girls is sort of a core tenet of feminism and that's what you're complaining about.

Collective Shout has not "dismantled the entire games industry" (lmfao) by making it harder for rape and pedophilic games to be published on a platform. Don't worry you can still buy sexist games. You'll be okay. It's still very much a patriarchy out here. Women are still treated as sex objects. Breathe. The feminazis haven't won everything yet.

By the way, the women of Collective Shout are currently getting bombared with rape threats from men, so keep it up, definitely on the right side of history there.

[goodmiffy]

does anyone remember when feminism was about female liberation from oppression? or when feminism used to deplore the public and private sexual degradation of women?? hello is this thing on?

[treecitysessions]

“Everyone’s so weird about age gaps now” I prefer that to when I was in middle/high school and nobody gaf about it so I was just watching my friends get into public relationships with pedophiles while nobody did anything about it

For so long I was so scared to consider detransition, because the only detrans women I had been exposed to were heterosexual and religious (and usually featured on some right-wing program). Seeing them speak about how ‘happy’ they were now that they had found refuge in ‘traditional femininity’ made me feel even more isolated and resolute in my transgender identity, as I could never in a million years force myself into a patriarchal role like that. You can only imagine how freeing it was seeing detrans butches for the first time.
