I’ll never forget being in high school in 2016, and MGTOW was a popular anti feminist movement at the time. It stood for “Men Going Their Own Way.”

I checked out the subreddit curiously, and every single post was fuming about women. Whenever a man tried to break the norm and post him engaging in a hobby like kayaking or smth, the comments were still all about women and how we ruin everything.

I learned that they need us a whole lot more than we need them. The crocheting/quilting subreddit was actually full of women going their own way, not a single man was thought of or ever mentioned lmao, and everyone was in a good mood

Sad short story: barely 18-year-old girls posting on this site looking for older men as their "kink".

After crying and crying all alone (nobody answered me) I tried to run away. 50-year-old brought me back. Everybody saw we were fighting. Nobody said a word because I'm just 'mentally ill'.

It's kind of fucked up how religious men view women as temptation. As something to be avoided in the same way that partaking too much in alcohol is to be avoided. Women aren't people, they're something put here to test the morality of men and bait them into evil. Men fully believe that the apple Eve ate was passed down in each woman's stomach, and their job, as men, is to correct Adam's mistake by not taking a bite of the apple that's being "offered" to them.

‘My Body Was Not Mine, but the U.S. Military’s’

Inside the sex industry thriving around America’s bases.

[musaafer]

“[Korean] Officials offered classes in basic English and etiquette to encourage women to sell themselves more effectively and earn more money. “They urged us to sell as much as possible to the GI’s, praising us as ‘dollar-earning patriots,’” recounts former sex worker Aeran Kim. “Our government was one big pimp for the U.S. military.”"

“Songtan is one of as many as 180 camptowns in South Korea today. Within 400 yards of Osan Air Base’s main gate, there are some 92 bars—about one every 26 feet. In a 2007 count, there were 21 hotels in the area with rooms by the hour. […]

Youngnim explained that the women often “try to get out of the clubs” by finding a GI. It’s a hard life with a different client every day. So they go and live with GI boyfriends. But “practically 90 percent of the women are abandoned,” she said. Many get pregnant and have babies. Some get married, and then the soldier disappears without a word when his tour is done.

Since the 1970s, GIs have also been involved in sham marriages used to bring Korean women to the United States to perform sex work in Korean massage parlors. Korean divorcées from legitimate marriages have also been vulnerable to recruitment into the parlors. In fact, researchers and law enforcement officers suggest that most Korean women working in U.S. massage parlors were once married to GIs.”

cailee spaeny and jacob elordi as priscilla and elvis in priscilla (2023)

[secluded-gorgon]

Absolutely disgusted by the comments and the number of likes or reblogs of people sexualizing a grown man's relationship with a literal child. Same for the fact that somebody felt the need to make this gifset.

Literally the only sane person among the thousands of interactions:

s/o to @dstriple for being a decent human being with a functioning brain.

This is the same vomit-inducing and tiring story as Lolita.

Edit: Just because I shared this filth, Tumblr suggests me this or this. I'm appalled. Not a single braincell in the comments. Our society is hopeless.

This is such a perfect example of a man “opening up.” He completely disregards the question being asked and just talks about himself and his own issues. And if women are anything less than supportive in response, he’ll cry that men’s mental health matters too and men are always expected to suffer in silence. They are all so annoying and boring. Nobody cares that you got unmatched on Tinder. We were talking about why old men approach young women…

Sofia should be ashamed for not putting a fucking warning. I don't wanna be reminded about how I almost r*ped thanks

one thing that pisses me tf off is how the media, no matter what, will always first and foremost focus on men. even if something is about women they will turn it to men. for example when the barbie movie came out there was a significantly larger amount (from my perspective at least) of attention on ken and how ryan gosling was so amazing as ken and the im just ken song. and don’t get me wrong i loved ryan gosling and thought that his character was enjoyable and really well written but most of the movie was about women and the experiences of girlhood and womanhood (again, my interpretation), and meanwhile barely anyone was praising the female actresses like margot robbie of america ferrera. and now, with the priscilla movie coming out (amazing movie btw highly recommend) i’ve only seen people talking about jacob elordi and comparing his portrayal of elvis to austin butler’s, while completely ignoring cailee spaeny’s phenomal, as well as in my opinion incredibly respectful and considerate, portrayal of priscilla presley. isn’t the entire point of the movie to show her perspective on a narrative that so often ignores and mischaracterizes her? but no, the media loves to re-focus everything back to men in the end.
