Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way

[scarlettfevor]

I just saw this video talking about actresses who've had to wear sexualized outfits on film that made them uncomfortable (think Margot Robbie in Suicide Squad) and it brought up an ongoing concern of mine about how films and tv shows are way more explicit now than they've been before. Thinking about how many actresses have been topless or nude on camera when it's totally unnecessary) Like I know Hollywood is experimental and would show sex and nudity in their films, I don't have a problem with that it's just how disproportionate the amount of women vs men who have to be naked and sexualized in film is. It's misogyny, pure and simple. Forcing actresses to put their bodies and sexuality on display for the pleasure of male directors and a male audience. And I hate that you can never point out how many actresses have come out and said that no, they didn't like wearing sexualized outfits on screen, they didn't like going nude/being pressured to go nude, they don't like sex scenes or explicit rape scenes but still anytime anyone mentions this you have to fight puritan allegations because god forbid you question how a notoriously sexualized and objectified marginalized community seems to always be sexualized and objectified in media.

We’re already seeing signs of this, but I believe the trans movement’s downfall will be that it simply became too confusing and too demanding for anyone except hardcore believers to keep up with, and that this happened far too fast. People are exhausted with the endless demands from the trans community, and with how forceful they are about it. People are confused about the whole thing because it’s built on contradictions, individualism, and sexism. It’s just not something that is sustainable long-term unless you’re fully dedicated to the cause and are able to keep up with how rapidly it changes terminology and moves goalposts.

every single community of men who try to quit watching porn do it because it takes up too much time in their day or because they have trouble getting hard without it and none of them care about all the victims of those involved with producing their jerkoff material. I hate them I hate them I hate them. I hope your cock is broken forever and you die alone .

These folks are already trying to say that nothing happened. This comment is on a video talking about the attack on Paris Mwendwa by TRAs.

[void-girl777]

The situation with Paris Mwendwa on tiktok has been super interesting to watch unfold. I'm seeing a lot of women making videos in support of her, and they are talking about a lot of the things that gender critical feminists talk about. Talking about the physical sex differences, differences in socialization and experience, sex-based oppression, and the way that they feel like that can't speak about these things for fear of being called a TERF.

But they still stick to the assertion that "transwomen are women" and they still will disavow "actual terfs" and radical feminists in their videos despite making nearly identical points. And despite continuing to assert that TIMs are women, they have TRAs in their comments trying to refute their points and calling them transphobic.

It really goes to show that most women know the reality, they just don't say it because they know how they will be treated if they do, and they are afraid that fully acknowledging it will make them a bad person. It seems like this situation is starting to wake some people up, but it will still take more for them to let go fully of the idea they they've been told they need to believe in order to be a good person.

I do have to say that I am enjoying watching people start to peak in real time, even if it's only partially.

The only thing this Paris Mwendwa discourse has taught me is that trans women really believe that they are synonymous with black women. Like they truly believe that white women are the default women and the rest of us are some type of woman, but not really women. The idea that racism and gender criticism are even close to being the same thing really proves to me that they don't know what oppression is. But we really can't expect much from people who think not being allowed to be feminine is the same level of harm as girls having their genitals cut off.

That "if you believe in male socialization you just think i'm EVIL for being BORN" post has 8k likes. Jesus. Tumblr has really allowed itself to be taken over by idiotic and abusive males in the name of not being mean.

[quinntheestallion]

Super TERFY posts on TikTok are pulling like 400k likes and most of them are from black women. One post was even unpacking how the entire concept of TERF might be bullshit. All of them agreeing it’s a silencing tactic. I didn’t know the peak happening over there was so drastic.

It’s looking like a TERF summer girls

the argument that women read m/m as a way of escaping misogyny in romance fiction becomes a ridiculously flimsy one when you consider how many m/m stories include a woman side character for the sole purpose of being misogynistic towards her

In left-wing spaces, it's acceptable for oppressed groups to center themselves in their own movements and focus on their own interests... Except for women, they are expected to put everybody's interests over theirs as a class and center men in their own movement.

a lot of transfems' posting about gendered socialisation makes it clear that they think it's something that they opt into/choose to participate in/have to enjoy to be affected by rather than something that happens to people from the time they are born. people start saying shit like "wow what a little flirt!" about baby boys before they've even developed object permanence. people have gendered expectations for babies based on their cries. mothers overestimate their infant sons' ability to crawl and underestimate their daughters' ability. these attitudes affect how people raise their children. these attitudes affect how children develop their attitudes towards themselves and others.

peers bullying you for your sensitivity, parents blowing up at you for liking Girl Things, boys saying you aren't really a boy because you're a pussy are things that happen to boys because they were born and raised male. being the world's sweetest most gentle and sensitive effeminate little child who never hurt a fly or did a misogyny doesn't make the male socialisation not exist. the socialisation one receives isn't an "I consent!" thing it's the way people treat you differently based on your gender. transitioning later in life doesn't magically stop wider society from being homophobic, transphobic & misogynistic and enforcing rigid expectations based upon this on anyone in society.

Male porn addiction fuels violence against women but liberal feminists would rather argue semantics about if it is truly an addiction or not than acknowledge the reality that women are exploited to satisfy a man’s sexual urges.

remember how for a brief period back in the 2010s the message was that clothes/voice tone/mannerisms don't define you or hint at your sexuality at all and straight men could wear glitter eyeshadow and still be straight men and that it wasn't right to say "you look like a lesbian" to women who didn't wear makeup and preferred practical clothes? or did I hallucinate it all? because now there's this added layer of gender bullshit we have to contend with on top of it. calling others slurs and saying they're zesty & fruity was done by both homophobes and spicy straights who felt the need to reclaim those slurs, but now you just get called an egg if you fail to perform certain gender roles. girl brain boy brain crap. they're as obsessed with gender roles and stereotypes as their parents and grandparents.

"oh my god I didn't know this person was straight they dress/act/speak sooo gay" i'm going to kill you i'm gonna do it "or maybe their egg is about to crack" i swear to fucking god the only thing cracking here will be your skull
