the fantasy lesbian adventurer is immune to the seductive evil sorceress's feminine wiles because she's butch4butch

[maxknightley]

this is exactly why any evil sorceress worth her salt keeps a towering knightgirl in gleaming black armor "on retainer"

[maxknightley]

well it's one of two reasons anyway

the "language is a social construct, therefore linguistic misinformation is impossible. any claim about language is true if enough people say it is" misconception is of course annoying when applied to stuff like grammar because it's wrong in a nuanced way that's important to explain correctly to avoid spreading even worse ideas about language. but with etymology it's like. no that's not even the part of language that's a social construct, you're making a claim about history. this is something that you really shouldn't think you can just make up

[hbmmaster]

language changes over time but a popular tumblr post claiming that a figure of speech from the bible is actually the short version of its own comeback isn't language changing

[hbmmaster]

btw one of the main tells for false etymology posts online is that they often are presented as something the poster "realized", as opposed to "learned". as though historical facts about how language has evolved are things that you can figure out on your own by thinking about words hard enough

desegregate all sports now. no more gendered sports. its stupid

if you absolutely must, in primarily muscle force-based sports, create competitive classes like in boxing except separated by body comp, not just pure body weight. i mean, if you must. this will eliminate any tiny advantages in muscle mass. some will say basketball should have height classes but frankly some of the NBA's most impressive players were not tall so idk that this actually matters ever

the primary athletic impediment to all women is overwhelmingly cultural and psychological. i have won probably half the physical competitions with cis men that i have engaged in, friendly or otherwise. even without the benefit of a lifetime of people trying to make me throw or hit balls, i have won wrestling matches, sparring matches, funny backyard foam sword fights, video games, equestrian activities, dance, endurance tests of various kinds, etc. i'm small and weak. men think theyre stronger and more skilled than they are, women think the opposite about themselves

humans just arent that differently-sized or -shaped, as a species. we have almost no sexual dimorphism at all compared to the vast majority of other mammals.

animals that have similar levels of sexual dimorphism to humans, for example cats, dogs, and horses, do not generally have competitive events segregated by sex. the dog agility trials dont normally have separate leagues for male and female dogs (gendered competitions exist they're just unusual). because it doesnt matter. there is no kentucky derby 2 just for girl horses. thats not a thing

remove all gendered categories from online shopping websites and universalize clothing and shoe sizing. im sick of having to search two entirely different sections of ebay when im just trying to find a nice velvet loafer in size 39 EU. what the hell is "women's clothing"

I really like Pokémon where you don't even fully register the inspiration until something just clicks like ooooooh Alcremie is a Homunculus it starts off as a non-human blob and you make it humanoid and can customize it to your liking and its name comes from alchemy.

A porcelain doll stares at its cup of tea.

Is the tea cup made of it? Or is it made of tea cup?

It awawas, for it does not know.

Witch that makes sure to only buy plastic tea sets from now on.

I've mentioned this story on here before, but I still feel really bad about it. so in my writing class, this older woman was talking to me about a book she read. specifically about how disturbing she found a scene near the end, where a dragon/demon/thing has evil nasty sex with a lady. and I was like "that's disgusting, please tell me the title so that I can avoid it!"

and then a few classes later, someone asked me what I was reading. without thinking, I said "oh, it's [book title]" and FROM ACROSS THE ROOM the older woman twisted around to give me the surprised pikachu face. I felt so guilty.

sanatoriums, psychiatric hospitals, and lunatic asylums still exist btw, theyre just called psychiatric centers now. isnt it such a modern and progressive concept to imprison that schizophrenic/autistic/suicidal/anorexic/bipolar/etc. person in a strange space where theyre treated as subhuman, not allowed control over their own body or activities, disallowed contact with loved ones or the outside world, and not comfortable or safe whatsoever?

you can literally see fictional cops being Like That all the time it's just framed as narratively Correct and Necessary.

took me damn near 40 years of being alive to understand that neurotypical people interpret asking clarifying questions before doing a task as you being more stupid than if you simply fuck up the task and say no one gave you the necessary information
