It’s funny that when you address the fact that men have more physical strength than women, people act as though you’re saying women are inferior. Like do you people think gorillas are superior to humans? maybe in a boxing match, sure, but I don’t see gorillas running successful democracies and building rockets to take them to the moon.
“Ohhh so you think women are just useless little fragile waifs who can’t take care of themselves and should be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen” no. Literally no one said that either. Women have several physical advantages over men including flexibility, more dexterous hands, and better resistance to famine and disease. But in a world where everything was designed for men and their bodies and men regularly use their greater physical strength to terrorize women, pretending there are zero physical differences between the sexes is not the more feminist stance. It puts women in harm’s way
exactly!!! painting physical strength disparities as anti-feminist only serves to aid male violence and victimize women. you teach a woman that she's as (physically) strong as any man, and she will be woefully unprepared when she's in a situation where it's her strength against his.
if you've ever had to fight off a man, either for your safety or another woman's, you would realize how insanely strong even the most sedentary man is. in addition to natural upper body strength, they have longer arms, larger hands, and stronger grip strength—it's easier for them to grab you, and when they do, you are not getting away without fighting dirty.
it's why women's self-defense classes teach unique incapacitation methods that do not rely on upper body strength, but on weak spots, dexterity, and making use of our legs.
i want all these feminists who have an issue with this to ask a man in their lives to subdue them without holding their strength back. then i want them to try and get away. then i want them to come back to me with how it went.
now, imagine a situation where a man's full intent is to hurt you, where he is exercising the full extent of his strength in an attempt to victimize you, and ask yourself how that would go.
instead of pretending that the strength disparity doesn't exist in an effort to prove women's value, stop making physical strength a defining factor of worthiness.
it’s 2026 i think it’s high time we left mind-body dualism behind us as a species. let’s go into 2027 with the full understanding that we are our bodies and that our consciousness cannot be separated from them thank you
I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?
Don't become a housewife.
And if you do become a housewife, take steps to protect yourself. Make sure you’re legally married, for starters; stay-at-home girlfriends have very little legal recourse to claim their partner’s assets in a breakup. Make sure your name is on the house deed/rental agreement, and have your car in your name, even if your spouse is paying for it. Have your spouse transfer money every month into an account solely in your name, so you can buy yourself things without needing permission, but also so you can save up to leave if needed.
If your spouse fights you on any of this, then don’t quit your job. The tradwife to poverty pipeline is real, and so is financial abuse.
also, many women/people experience controlling behaviour and domestic violence from their partner for the first time during pregnancy. don’t risk thinking “he’s just stressed, it’ll get better when the baby comes” because it won’t. neither you and your child will ever be safe with that man. get out as early and safely as you can
This is true btw
the podcast If Books Could Kill has a really great episode on the original book and its legacy! just a bunch of misogynist evangelical bullshit really
I hate all these posts moralizing about how it’s not righteous to discuss hurting rapists because you can hypothetically target someone who was labeled a sex offender but didn’t do anything morally reprehensible when most of the time the people saying that are speaking from experience and are discussing their frustrations of wanting the people who personally abused them to die. and yeah sure you can also get into a debate about rehabilitation verses revenge based justice but that’s such a cruel thing to turn the discussion towards when someone said they wish they could have fought back against a pedophile who molested them. or maybe I’m just a sensitive violent freak who knowssss
btw it’s a myth, nobody is on the sex offender registry for public urination. stop letting people repeat that shit
So weird how they try to exaggerate how easy it is to get on the sex offender registry. Like yeah it’s easy if you have a problem taking your clothes off in public. Why do you have a problem taking your clothes off in public?
saw that post where the op is like “i don’t give a fuck if the word queer upsets you, i HOPE my identity upsets you” and hundreds of ppl in the notes are rbing and tagging it with “queer as in fuck you” and it struck me that this phrase used to be gay people saying fuck you to straights who called them queer to hurt them and it’s now straight people saying fuck you to gay people who are hurt by the word queer. “queer as in fuck you” has been successfully reclaimed by the straight community
unrealistic male beauty standards: power, strength, protector, big strong man, superhero, literal god
unrealistic female beauty standards: weak, prey, helpless, porn star, sex object, sex symbol, sex doll, fetish, porn, jerk off material
damn it seems only one sex is held to a standard of outright dehumanization purposefully created by their oppressors who only see them as walking objects to masturbate to. gyns which is one worse im stumped here
Generative AI and the artist discussion is such a distraction from AI’s military and police applications or its role in automating hiring discrimination.

Despite the overwhelming amount of positivity on my take about why women are often unable to choose where to eat, many people have responded “OR she’s just not picky! OR she just wants to shoot down all my ideas! OR she’s just indecisive! It’s not that deep.”
Female socialization MAKES us more indecisive. We grow up being interrupted more. We grow up being discouraged from leading our peers for fear of being called stuck-up. We grow up with more restrictions on our movement and our activities. We grow up without the amount of attention and conversation that more disruptive boys often get from adults. We grow up with the knowledge that if we don’t defer to our friends’ preferences, we are dismissed as bossy and mean. Personally, I think that for many women, this means we have a hard time actually identifying if we have a preference at all (let alone what that preference actually is) because we are not in the habit of actually considering it. We’re so used to automatically deferring because we’ve done so all our lives, in fear of being inconsiderate or callous or bossy.
Often, when I’m asked about a preference of mine, my immediate thought is “I don’t feel like defending a choice, I just want to be agreeable and have a nice time, so whatever they want is okay. I don’t want to force the other person to have something they don’t want.” I have to literally force myself to take a second to actually think “Wait. If I could choose an option…what would I actually choose? What do I feel like right now?”
And sometimes I can’t even come up with one! And then I take another second and really consider each option. And I discover that I do in fact have a preference after all! If I had the choice all to myself, I know what I would pick. I’m not indecisive! I DO care!
We literally have to re-train ourselves to identify our preferences. And that’s fucked up.
Until I was in like third or fourth grade, I literally had no idea that there were types of music other than country because that’s what my dad liked and therefore that’s what the whole family had to listen to. It’s not like he was morally opposed to other genres or anything; he just had zero comprehension that we might enjoy something else. He liked it, so that’s all that mattered. Even though I found out years later that my mom doesn’t even particularly like country music, she still listened to it even when she was by herself because it was a habit and it was “just easier.” But as soon as my parents split up, she’d play classic rock and showtunes all the damn time because she was finally allowed to enjoy the music she actually liked. Turned out my dad complained and berated her and made fun of her taste for years before I was born, so eventually she just gave in and quietly listened to whatever he wanted.
To this day when I find myself making choices, I have to pause and think, “Do I really WANT to do this or am I just going along with it because it’ll make it easier to interact with someone else? Am I the one who’s actually interested in this or was it pushed on me?” And even with that learned self-awareness, I’m still surprised how often it’s the latter.
I’ll also add, how often do women get ridiculed for what they like?
A woman likes Starbucks, she’s a basic bitch.
A woman likes BBQ, she’s trying too hard, she’s a big eater, try to be more lady like sweetie, nobody wants to see a woman eat like that.
A woman likes Freshie? Don’t be so high maintenance, no man wants to eat rabbit food like that, be more adventurous.
A woman likes beer? She’s a pick me. She’s posing. She’s trying to get guys to like her.
A woman likes cocktails? Stupid broad can’t even drink a real drink.
A woman doesn’t drink? Ohhhh someone’s special 🙄
There is literally NOTHING a woman can openly enjoy, in terms of food/drink consumption, that won’t be ridiculed. We’re trained from youth to not be too decisive because it will be too much.

people love the idea of the mean girl nurse pipeline because it problematises medical abuse as a personal perversion rather than understanding it as a product of broadly held ableist values and its like, if this was only about ontologically evil teenage girls choosing to enter a profession because of their unique sadism then you really wouldnt expect to see the exact same forms of abuse pervading all arrangements of paid, unpaid, formal, ad hoc, and familial caretaking as well -- its more comforting to believe the nurse was just a preexisting bad person than that most of the world broadly hates disabled people and will abuse, neglect, and gaslight them if given power over their care
"sabrina carpenter's intention-" sabrina carpenter is a marketing technique. her schtick was invented by a label (men) for mass consumption. they had a vision for a pop star to fill a market niche and hired sabrina for it. she has professional male songwriters on all of her songs, she's styled by men, produced by men, marketed by men. i guarantee that album cover was a man's idea. she's not some solo indie artist she's a product that men made to sell to women
what i love about sabrina carpenter is how innovative her work is. i just feel like you never see women shake their asses in music videos and i think it’s so unique and brave to create softcore porn as a female artist
as a historian, one of the hidden geniuses of her art is that she presents herself as a “sex object” but subverts your expectation by hating men. some of you might not know about this but there was this ancient philosophy back in the day called “pop feminism,” where some of the greatest minds of the decade (such as buzzfeed and miley cyrus) would pole dance and wear eyeliner strong enough to kill a man
