Morgan Freeman had his first breakout roles in his 50s. Leonard Cohen debuted at 33. Toni Morrison published her first novel at 39. Vera Wang entered fashion design at 40. Penelope Fitzgerald published her first novel at 58. Louise Gluck won her Nobel prize at age 77. Edward Said wrote Orientalism at age 42. Charles Bradley debuted with his first album at 62. Those people are literal legends, and no one would think they arrived late. They just arrived when they were ready. You have time to do the thing. You have time to hone your craft on the thing and create something you are truly proud of. You have time

women of the world unlearn your massive guilt complex 

[exjade]

I cannot tell you how extremely common it is for specifically women to feel guilty about pretty much existing, to feel that they are horrible people for every little thing they do, to feel the need to apologize for everything. 

[theradicalbuzzardofdiscourse]

Women: I said a mean thing to someone 8 years ago and can’t stop thinking about it, I’m the worst person in the world

Men: I jerk off to war crimes every 10 minutes, I should be in charge of the country

Ok so fun fact: you can disagree with someone and not murder them.

People rejoicing over Charlie Kirk dying are not mentally okay.

why the FUCK is choking SPECIFICALLY WOMEN in bed a normal thing now!?!??!!?

If it’s so chill and awesome then why isn’t it WOMEN CHOKING MALES?!?!?

How much more do women need to be absolutely shat on while society is completely cool with it?!?!?!?! Like do women need to be told any more explicitly “you are worth absolutely nothing” and they’re meant to just take that as chill and normal and cool and be like “oh it’s just in bed so it’s fine!!!” Fucking enough! 

[it-is-the-female-federal]

And to those men that say choking can be done safely, well come here and be the one being choked by a pornsick male. You wouldn’t do it, because you know it is dangerous to lose even a little airflow and that it has long term damages. So stop with making women and girls do this and go to a clinic, because you just want to abuse others for personal pleasure and that is sickening

Risk factor for homicide

In its report, the Sentencing Advisory Council said: “Non-fatal strangulation, choking and suffocation have been identified as serious and highly risky behaviours, with potential for severe and lasting harm regardless of whether visible injuries are caused. They are particularly prevalent in the context of family violence offences. They have been identified as risk factors for future intimate partner homicide.” source

Not ‘edgy’. Not ‘sexy’. No-one chokes someone that they like. Choking is a hateful and abusive thing to do. If he chokes you, run.

[norton-not-an-anti-virus]

As someone who has studied the mechanics and medical science of strangulation, there is no way to do it safely. You can create permanent harm and life long health risks even in a light play consent scene.

The whole purpose of strangulation is to cut of oxygen to the brain. You can do that with less pound pressure than a standard handshake. No oxygen? Brain cells die. Dead brain cells? Nothing good.

Guys, if you actually love her? Don’t put her life at risk. Women, if you actually love yourself? Don’t let yourself be harmed but some ignorant, selfish man.

“why dont you just give him a chance”

idk because im not physically or mentally attracted to him and ‘but he likes you’ or ‘but hes really nice’ isnt going to change the fact that im not interested

[tenpointsforgriffindor69-deacti]

Damn, I don’t think women know how much that really hurts

[appropriately-inappropriate]

What, because not everyone in the world is attracted to everyone else?

You know what hurts? Getting stabbed for turning a boy down. Or getting shot in the head for the same.

I’ll worry about men’s’ feelings when they stop killing my sisters.

[fairy25]

Men act like they’re the only ones getting turned down for not being someone’s type

men will do literally anything other than engaging in pro-social community-oriented behavior and then get online and complain about how masculinity is vilified and men aren't allowed to be heroes anymore

[roycohn]

"all men really want is to feel like the hero" okay then volunteer at a food bank. get narcan training. step in when a woman is being harassed on the street. help out an elderly neighbor with shopping or home repairs. learn how to safely de-escalate fights. help your friends move. join or start your workplace union. become a big brother or volunteer coach for kids' sports. clean up your local park or get involved in some local conservation campaign. do your own damn dishes. notice what needs to be done and then do it. the world doesn't need heroes, it needs helpers. there are literally so many paths to finding a sense of self-respect and worth through pro-social behaviors that improve your immediate local community and help build your network of close personal connections. but these guys don't give a shit about actually contributing anything to the world. they just want to whine and fantasize.

[roycohn]

their inherent lack of self-respect is belied not only by the fact that they can't imagine doing anything that contributes to building a better, more resilient society, but how they can't imagine that doing so might involve a lot of small acts and choices and not one big act of heroism that gets them on the news as Big Man Of The Year.

seeing a male name credited on a book: Oh are we sure this 'm*n' wrote this book? Has anyone asked his wife what she was doing at the time?

[fisewalafel]

a Goddess creates a Woman, later creates a man so the Woman “isn’t bored”. all humans are referred as the “daughters” of the Goddess. the only male figures in the religion are husbands or fathers of the female prophets; generally males are listed among the properties of a Woman - she has cows, sheep, land and a few husbands. men are advised not only to accept their status, but to take pride in it, since their inferiority is a part of the Goddess’s plan. all religious leaders are female, and they teach Women how to treat their husbands - how to dress them in order to hide their body from Women, how beat them properly.

does this sound like something men could ever accept, believe, promote to each other?

[weltenwellen]

It's not your job to manage other people's feelings. You do not have to anticipate other people's responses to you or their general mood in order to establish any sort of feeling of safety for yourself.

[warriorxena]

Jane Clare Jones hitting the nail on the head yet again!

[moonpriestes]

Men working as hard as they do to restrict women's education and force us to have children really shows us their hand:

Being more educated than men and refusing to have their children are the keys to our freedom.

So remember that when people talk about how 'university degrees are worthless' and how 'being a mother is the most important job there is'.

[unsentimentaltranslator]

From what I can see, they're also treating the trades as the last bastion of professions that haven't been "invaded" by women and devalued in response to women's presence, so women should go into the trades too.

[cheruib]

that comment about how you should not borrow grief from the future has saved me multiple times from spiraling into an inescapable state of anxiety. like every time i find myself thinking about how something in the future could go wrong i remember that comment and i think to myself: well i never know, it might get better. it might not even happen the way i think it will and if it does happen and it is sad and bad ill be sad about it then, when it happens. and it’s somehow soo freeing
