straight white people making a romance movie: haha what if it was illegal to have sex? wait what's lawrence v texas. wait what's mclaughlin v florida. wait what's loving v virginia

[ninewheels]

As preposterous and stupid as this fucking movie's premise sounded (for a light-hearted rom-com, and not The Handmaid's Tale) I didn't want to think about it too much until the movie actually came out, and then I could see if it was somehow more intelligent and subversive than the trailer let on, but guess what, it's even worse!

One Night Only review: Pull out from this sex-negative rom-com

If this is what it takes to get a rom-com greenlit these days, maybe we should just let them die.

Sex workers are thrown under the bus, shown only as thieves who fleece men in the woods at night, while queer sexuality is relegated to a few scenes with Allie’s roommate (a woefully underused Quintessa Swindell) and a handful of pans past blurry same-sex extras making out in the background. “This night is for the straights,” Swindell’s character says to Allie, before saying that queer people have worked around straight laws for centuries.  This is supposed to be a nod to queer resilience, but largely comes off as straightwashing the history of anti-LGBTQ legislation in this country that led towards raids of queer clubs and incarceration of queer people in the not-too-distant past (let alone the current barrage of anti-Trans and LGBTQ legislation currently in the works and on the books). It’s also ignorant of the long and fraught fight for the normalization of age-of-consent laws, which, by the way, did not happen in all states in this very country until 2003. Yes, that’s not even thirty years ago.  By the end, our intrepid protagonists have not had sex with anyone, because this is a film about Romance with a Capital R (and I guess sex is not part of romance!) and for that very same reason they ultimately embrace the fascist state of things. They aren’t the only ones who refuse to fight back. No one in this cursed film is protesting this mandate beyond “repeal” signs in various windows and some creative graffiti (...) (...) If we are supposed to believe that the film is making some subversive statement about the state of sex and bodily autonomy in this country, it cannot end with its leads embracing their chains. That’s just warmed-over conservatism running around in sheep’s clothing.

yeah i wrote this post having only seen the trailer, but jesus christ. was this movie a psyop LMAO??

also, for the unaware: mclaughlin v. florida was a 1964 supreme court case that struck down a florida anti-miscegenation law that criminalized cohabitation (and thus, as implied, sex) between white people and people of color of opposite genders. anti-miscegenation laws made marriage and sexual relationships between white people and people of color, most often specifically black people, a FELONY in several states in the united states up until the 1950s and 1960s. though it was already struck down by the supreme court, the state of alabama didn't repeal their law until 2000! there were THREE ATTEMPTS at codifying anti-miscegenation into the us constitution!

like yes, the issue here is partially straight white people's ignorance on the united states's history of homophobic policy, but it's also really important to recognize that arguably the majority of the issue here is straight white people's ignorance of the united states's history of codifying eugenics and antiblack racism.

the premise could have been interesting as a serious dystopian story, especially taking that history into account, but it wasn't written that way at all. this movie should never have been a fucking romcom making light of the violence the united states (and many other countries) has enacted on any kinds of sexual relationships it deems undesirable.

can y’all maybe reblog this version i feel like people are forgetting about the racism and just focusing on the homophobia

[dogmotifv2]

The people denying that trans men/mascs spaces aren’t overrun with transmisogynistic rhetoric and/or terf socialization are fucking stupid ngl

As a trans guy, whenever I see a post that’s just about trans guy dysphoria, or something along those lines, I like it, and might take a gander at whoever’s blog it is.

Without fail, there has always been some form of tmra bullshit on there. Either reblogged, or posted by the blogger themselves. The fact transandrophobia is as big of term in those spaces should be enough evidence- but, then again, they’ll claim it’s not a transmisogynistic movement if you present them with the fact that we really don’t need a term (especially one so similar to transmisogyny) when describing our oppression.

Most of their ‘evidence’ for transandrophobia even being valid in the first place is, again, just transphobia. We don’t have a unique intersection of oppressive systems because men (in general) aren’t oppressed for being men. Cannot believe that’s a controversial statement to make, but here we are

This isn’t a post fishing for ‘pity’ because ‘oh I’m a trans guy and my community sucks, please feel bad for me 🥺’, it’s more of a ‘seeing my community constantly and consistently deny and push some trans women/fem’s experiences and claim that actually trans guys have it as bad (or even worse) than yall bc of our ‘afabness!!1!’, has made me just reluctant and hesitant to interact with them.’ I’d rather stand by and for the most vulnerable in our community than by people who keep wanting to be the most oppressed in the room.

[godpup]

wait why did the transmisogynist detector flag you as a transmisogynist? probably for the transmisogyny

[bitchautism]

shocking considering such great posts as this ☝️

[dragongirlsweetie]

literally why on earth are we ceding ground on the whole "trans women are women and trans men are men" thing isn't that like the one thing we should not be budging on i don't understand

[kayla-denker]

Unfortunately a whole lotta trans men hate trans women so much they'd rather misgender themselves and all other trans men than accept the fact that they have male privilege.

[qillermeme]

[lichgirlboobs]

these are the people i'm supposed to respect as intellectuals

[villainessbian]

"The real problem is misandry but trans women are men so you should shut up and let me talk" is. certainly something we're gonna hate

[sodiumfreak]

im just going to have to cope with the bad feelings and thoughts for the rest of my life

[imthelearner]

it drives me up the fucking wall the amount of people saying trans men don’t experience male privilege. because by saying that, not only are they degendering all trans men, they’re also denying *my* lived experience. i’ve been living as a man for EIGHT YEARS. once i started looking for male privilege that myself and my close trans male friends experience i never stopped noticing it.

and you’re going to tell me what? that my friends and i didn’t experience these things? that i’m lying? all because you don’t want to confront your own privilege? all because a trans woman dared say you need to check your misogyny? that’s ridiculous.

yes, all trans men will have different experiences, but that doesn’t change the fact that trans. men. are. men.

"only those who have organs that can give birth deserve protections from misogyny" is just thinly veiled "a woman's value comes from her ability to give birth"

[mousidy]

women who cannot give birth are treated as valueless and unworthy of protection, and thus face much more aggressive misogyny. misogyny is not only faced by women who can give birth. very far from it

[croifox]

being told you're lucky you can't get pregnant feels a little like being told you're lucky you can't get a job, to be quite honest.

yes, women are expected under patriarchy to perform this form of labour, and it is often involuntary or coerced, and usually physically grueling. yes, the proletariat as a class are constituted under capitalism by being forced to sell their labour-power to be used by someone else, contrary to their own interests, in alienating, life-negating conditions.

but no, being unable to get a job in a society that continually punishes those who fail to successfully market themselves as employees to the ruling class of capitalists is not lucky or a privilege. you should not tell the unemployed person who can't afford to eat that they're at least lucky they don't have to waste their time waiting tables.

and no, women who can't do the thing women are constantly punished for failing or refusing to do are not lucky. every moment we live in patriarchy we are punished for not measuring up to its definition of woman as birthworker, and that is misogyny.
