Hot take: there is no punishment 'too harsh' for males who intimidate, violate, stalk, harass, or abuse women. "he's so young/ he doesn't know better/ you'll ruin his future, etc." i don't care. he made the choice to ruin it himself. any time the justice system shows leniency toward male perpetrators, it strips victims everywhere of their right to recourse and further entrenches the misogynistic idea that one man's reputation is more important (more worth protecting) than all women and girls

our society had made it so that hetero sex, especially penetrative sex, will always be demeaning for the female. not because the act of intercourse as a woman is degrading in itself but because what the men will unconsciously feel and think. I believe that there is no shame in wanting to seek pleasure such a natural act but the problem comes in when you bring in the fact that we live in a patriarchal society where women have always been deemed as lesser.

when a woman is on her knees for a man, when she spreads her legs for him, what does he think? he feels dominant, like she is a conquest for him. when a woman is in such a traditionally “submissive” position, with the way society has made it, they’ll see you as lesser. think about why men treat women so different after having had sex with them for the first time. even if you believe the man to be incapable of thinking such thoughts, they do subconsciously. then tie in the scientifically proven idea that men don’t form attachments with sex partners the same way most women do.

I don’t consider myself a TERF. But lately I’ve been wondering why “TERF” gets thrown around way more than “transphobe.”

I constantly see things like “TERFs DNI,” “TERFs go kill yourselves,” “OP is a TERF,” and so on.

It’s telling, because “transphobe” is gender neutral, but a “TERF” is always a woman. It feels like a way to specifically target women and demean feminism as a whole, especially given how often it’s paired with misogynistic slurs like “bitch” or “cunt.”

ON ANORA 2024:

even thinking back on it now, it’s absolutely insane how anora won an oscar. I think it’s even more disappointing how people loved it. I’m recycling my letterboxd review for this next portion:

disregarding the fact that it’s simply a shit film, it’s also directed by a pornsick male glamouring prostitution and degrading women. everything about this movie is simply performative and so desperately trying to be sold as progressive. there also wasn’t an intimacy coordinator on set which is extremely ironic to me. entirely dismissive and hollow. 

what community is being honored? the sex trafficking business? the industry who exploits and sells women bodies to men for pleasure? sex work is not work, prostitution is paid rape. this is not a movie for women, it’s made by a man for men.

everything that makes men “suffer too under patriarchy” ultimately circles back to misogyny. men don’t suffer because they can’t cry or express their emotions, they “suffer” because they deem these actions as feminine and don’t want to be seen as woman-like. that is woman hating, not suffering.
