i rlly wish everyone would stop bringing black people (especially women) into their arguments all the time. like i don’t give a shit what you’re arguing, i wish yall would genuinely leave us out of it unless you’re trying to advocate for us. it’s a bit irritating when im just trying to read or listen to someone and boom they go “well thats like when BLACK PEOPLE-“ wrap it up, i beg. please talk about anyone else lol 😭😭
Why Are Libfems… like she almost got the point, but because of sex posi bullshit she spun it the wrong way. It’s SAD that so many women in kink/BDSM are trying to use it as a bandaid coping mechanism for trauma. It’s sad that the men involved in that scene prey upon women they know are vulnerable. It’s not badass by any means. Hypersexuality as a response to trauma shouldn’t be romanticized.
Here is a video on re-victimization from the sex positivity guru herself. She actually does a good job talking about the topic dispite not recognizing how BDSM is abuse and encourages re-victimization:
Imagine if we treated any other form of trauma like this.
Are you traumatized by being beaten by your alcoholic father when you were a child? Have you tried asking your partner or a friend to get drunk and beat you, so that you can finally be in control of your life and fully recover?
Are you traumatized by spending time in a war zone? Have you tried asking your friends to explode a bunch of shit around you and pretend to be dead so that you can experience the healing powers of consent?
Experienced enslavement and suffering trauma as a consequence? Why not become someone’s human pet and let them lead you around on a leash and make you eat out of a dog bowl and do all their house chores? Don’t you know how liberated and free it will make you feel, to be willingly objectified and subjugated?
Like?
People just say this shit. There are no studies to back it, no logic to support it.
every time i scroll past this i read the first line of the tweet and go yeah, we should look into the connection between males who are into fucked up things and rapists. and then i read the rest of it.
I recently saw a video of a woman talking about how cultures known for their hospitality always heavily rely on women's unpaid labour, and as someone who came from a culture like that it is impossible to disagree.
Another day, another "unforseen" abuse against women.
Cambridge gave a village in northern India a bunch of drones and spy cams to watch wild life. And surprise, surprise: men immediately used it to film women using the bathroom in the forest and sharing it online. They buzz them with the drones while they're gathering lumber and food and it intimidates them out of singing and communicating. This leaves them more vulnerable to animal attack and is literally getting these women killed.
There's no neutral item that can't be turned into a weapon when men have hate in their hearts.
Remotely operated camera traps, sound recorders and drones are increasingly being used in conservation science to monitor wildlife and natur
Many places in India lack toilets and this plumbing scarcity forces people to use the outdoors, leaving women and children vulnerable to predators. This is part of the social context that these voyeurs take advantage of.
Andrew North reports on the story of one young girl who was raped and why so little appears to have changed since the Delhi gang rape protes
Hey did you draw that evil feminist caricature to warn men how their wives would act once they got the right to vote? Illustrator: sure did boss. real sexy, just like you asked.
“the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist” applies to both kaiser söze and male supremacy. men love to pretend they aren’t doing anything evil to women because we can’t fight back against something if we aren’t even sure it exists. woman-hating is omnipresent. see it! do something about it!
yall gotta stop conflating sex and pornography. like what’s not clicking for you about how the porn industry drives the trafficking, rape, and exploitation of women? that’s not religious pearl clutching baby that’s caring about the wellbeing of living breathing women.
when i was a kid i was so mad all the time bc i thought someday i'd have to be somebody's wife i didn't know it was optional. is everybody reminding the young girls in their lives that it's optional.
is wanting to be a wife and mother a requirement for being a woman?
why might OP be annoyed with replies assuming that this post is about being aroace or transmasc if a woman doesn’t want to be a wife or mother?
are there reasons unrelated to sexuality and romantic interest that might make a woman not want to be a wife or mother?
are there reasons unrelated to gender identity and expression that might make a woman not want to be a wife and mother?
core concept: what is gender essentialism?
is it gender essentialism to imply that all women inherently want to be wives and mothers? could this be what OP is critiquing?
look at the notes OP responds to. is it gender essentialism to imply that being a wife and mother is so affixed to womanhood that to not want to be those things means you’re incapable of sexual/romantic feelings, or not a woman?
what trait are you perpetuating when you assume that women who do not want to be wives and mothers must be aroace or trans? is it gender essentialism?
Heather Long, chief economist for the Navy Federal Union, explains why consumer sentiment just hit a 74-year low.
Consumer sentiment in the U.S. has officially never been worse. The University of Michigan’s final April reading came in at 49.8, the lowest in the survey’s 74-year-history. Three of the four lowest sentiment readings ever recorded have now happened in the past nine months.
To be fair, the survey isn’t without its critics. Economists have pointed out for years that the gap between what consumers say in surveys and what they actually do has widened. Gen Z economic commentator Kyla Scanlon coined the term “vibecession” when sentiment was grim but spending was buoyant during the Biden administration.
Kyla you fucking worm the stain will never wash clean from your soul.
for what it's worth if you think the economy was good during Biden hou are flat earther levels of detached from reality.
^does this look like a functional economy to you???
Analysts also note that the survey can be distorted by partisanship. A 2024 Richmond Fed study found that people feel 31% better about the economy than the data would suggest if their party controls the White House.
The trouble is that sentiment surveys may measure not how people feel, but which words people have learned to use to describe how they feel.
Heather Long, a chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union who made her name covering the pandemic recession, believes the sentiment data speaks to something real.
“Americans are literally getting squeezed now,” she told Fortune. “It’s not just a vibe, it’s a financial reality.”
American workers have remained famously resilient in the battle against five years of sticky inflation. This spring could mark a turning point. Average hourly earnings rose 3.6% over the past year, according to Friday’s jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Inflation in April is expected to come in around 4%, intensified by the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran and gas prices that have now crossed $4.55 a gallon nationally.
Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM, said this week that real average hourly earnings will likely register flat to negative for April and “definitely negative” in May, once the supply shock from the Middle East war works its way through the economy. In other words, workers are about to take a pay cut for a war most didn’t ask for.
To be sure, retail sales are still rising, and March receipts were up 4% year over year. But the National Retail Federation’s chief economist, Mark Mathews, has said that the spending is “bifurcated” and that higher-income households are accounting for the majority of it.
For lower-income Americans, the squeeze is already here. A research note released this week by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York found a “K-shaped pattern at the pump,” with higher-income households buying roughly the same amount of gasoline they bought before the war, while lower-income households cut back sharply, substituting public transit when available.
Other research from Bank of America showed the highest gap between wage growth for higher-income households versus lower- and middle-income households since 2015.
Long sees the same divide in Navy Federal’s own member data, which captures spending patterns across more than 14 million households, many of them military and working-class families.
“There’s the people who earn—I’d put it at $150,000 or more in New York, I’d put it at $125,000 or more elsewhere—there’s no recession going on in their world,” she said. “They continue to book their summer vacations.”
She noted that Disney recently confirmed that its domestic park bookings and cruise reservations remained strong through the second half of 2026. “That’s the $150,000-and-above crowd,” Long said.
Meanwhile, the bottom half of the income distribution experiences a very different reality. “The lower tier was already strained, and now it’s really hard,” Long said.
She added she can see the uptick in more people applying for personal loans, or turning to credit cards. “They’re having to use debt because they aren’t making it paycheck to paycheck.” That divide is what economists increasingly call the “K-shaped” recovery, with the top earners rising and the rest falling. As the stock market continues to reach record highs—Friday marked the first time the S&P 500 touched 7,400—the equity-invested rich just keep getting richer.
The same numbers powering that rally show capital pulling further ahead of labor. Mohamed El-Erian, chief economic adviser at Allianz, flagged Friday that the muted wage growth in the April jobs report (which is, by the way, good news for markets, because it dampens any wage-price spiral fears) also amplifies a longer-running concern: labor’s share of GDP, which has been trending down for two decades and recently hit its lowest level in BLS history.
However, Friday’s labor data, at least, dampened fears the squeeze is spiraling into a full recession. The U.S. economy added 115,000 jobs in April and unemployment held steady at 4.3%. Hiring is broader than it has been in months.
But the squeeze Long described happens on a different timeline than payrolls—it shows up first in credit card balances, then in demand destruction for gas, in canceled vacations the lower tier never booked.
Before any of that, it shows up in sentiment. Sentiment could be a false flag, as some economists warn. Or it could be the first crack.
Like. The logical meaning of what you’ve said here is “sex can be wholesome and pure”. And it absolutely can be! But in order for that to happen, the parties who are having sex with each other have to actually like each other, and y’all make too many allowances for straight men who hate women and express that in the way they have sex with women.
It took less than 20 years of widespread porn consumption to reframe completely how sex should be. Less than 20 years to groom women (and girls) into believing that their role in the bedroom is to be the means to a fulfilled fetish, that it’s in their duty to be strangled, slapped, spanked, tied, and hurt, and to do all without complaint.
Watching porn is normal and if you’re against your boyfriend/husband consuming material that features the sexual assault of women, you are a shrill, prudish woman who is actually abusing her boyfriend/husband by being too controlling.
Historical revisonism calls it “feminism,” refuses to connect the dots between what is happening now and what happened in the 70s, when feminist movements became harder to ignore and men reacted by pushing for the production of violent pornography. Actual feminism sees it for what it is: a calculated attack against female personhood, dignity, and boundaries.
