Hi speaking of medical literacy for trans people, transfems pls check out the website Transfeminine Science, especially their introductory article on feminizing HRT

Non-transfems can reblog this as well btw

it's like, definitely still mansplaining if the man is dominating the conversation unintentionally and he would totally stop if you asked him to, actually. like, the term exists to describe a phenomenon that arises from the implicit bias that women are expected to simply be less knowledgeable about things. it doesn't matter if he's doing it on purpose or not. he does it cause he expects women to not know things or to not have any input. maybe don't fucking expect women to stand up for themselves every single time they have to have a conversation with a man because that shit happens like daily for a lot of women

[pocket-deer-belly]

genuinely, sincerely, if you are a man you need to learn to shut up when you're talking to women

[pocket-deer-belly]

you need to catch yourself explaining something to a woman and go "oh wait, you probably know about this right?"

I finally finished shimeji simulation. It really reminded me of a graphic novel version of the little prince I have. Girls are awesome, fish are so cool.

"The perfect blend of flavor and heat" is a slogan that only makes sense in a universe where no one has ever experienced either of those things, but I guess if you slap a ® symbol after it you can say whatever kinda shit you want even if your hot sauce sucks.

Frank's Vinegar. The perfect blend of vinegar and vinegar.

Actually I'm kinda curious: Non-American followers and mutuals, what are the most common flavours of potato chip where you live?

Here it's Salt, Salt and Vinegar, Chicken, Barbecue, and Sour Cream and Onion.

(I don't actually know what they have in the US either, I just don't give a shit and they should be excluded from things)

New slogan for the Australian republican movement that should hopefully get more people interested: "If the kiwis get their shit together and do it before we do then we all have to kill ourselves"

Men really are just no good. No good at all.

Crazy how the family and reproduction and marriage and labour division is so political. Wonder what that could be about.

"masculine role models" lol

[soup-mother]

"masculine role models" were a scam invented by men (who themselves are also a scam invented by men, it's complicated) to cement the patriarchal family as the only possible way to raise a child and justify keeping "fathers" around. It doesn't necessarily have to be a nuclear family, but kids *obviously* need some masculine influence to teach them it's not ok to be a woman. Otherwise they'd grow up soy.

Masculinity is a social pact that reproduces itself via violent enforcement and reinforcement between men and you should not be giving them any more victim-members or treating it as the natural way of the world.

Anyone who tries to convince you of some genuine psychological need for "masculine role models" in a kids life is a wacko gender shill trying to justify the patriarchy all the unimaginable horrors that come with it, and you should probably kick them in the shins.

> "Negative impact of lacking male role models/a father in childhood development"

> look inside

> 99% just the negative impacts of childhood poverty from being raised by a single mother

[soup-mother]

To be entirely honest a great to overwhelming deal of the supposed mental/self esteem effects of growing up without a father/"male role model" or whatever mystical connective essence your biological parents supposedly have comes from the constant social messaging that these things are important and that you are a broken person without them. People will constantly reinforce the idea that a childs life is incomplete and unfulfilled without some supposedly missing (and generally immaterial) parental element in a way that conveniently justifies and reinforces whatever family structure is dominant in that specific culture.

And frankly a great deal of young men work themselves up into a misogynistic complex about having been "denied" male role models or some shit, and that's why they need to listen to some stochastic terrorist dickhead on a podcast. After all: It could never be the patriarchy. It's probably women's fault

TLDR this shit is culturally and socially defined and does not exist in a vacuum. There is no ingrained need for a "male presence", there is no ingrained need for biological parents (or even parents at all). The 1% of harm coming from something other than the socio-economic effects of being raised by a single mother comes from social pressure, stigma and misogny.

i think it would do a lot of people good to remember that Mormons are white supremacists, no nuance, no debate, no arguing how they've gotten "more diverse", their whole belief system is fundamentally rooted in white supremacist ideals

[lady-of-vitreous-sight]

genuinely the most pathetic way humans attempt to naturalize their ideology is by insisting animals do it too.
