post metoo post amber heard and there are posts going around on this site by “feminist” bloggers about how “believe survivors” is a dumb phrase that oversimplifies the Complex issues about how false allegations happen all the time… no they don’t. they literally do not we have countless statistics to back this. and you know why they don’t? bc if you tell someone you have been sexually assaulted they view you as a Victim forever. the people whose lives are most ruined by SA allegations as a rule are the people who come forward

you think so much. You could think about a door for a hundred years and it would stay closed.

did you guys know that imagining something = as good as having it

[eviethekiwi]

[starjasmines]

TRUE.

"why do you defend female characters over the same things you hate male characters for" because fandom is disproportionately interested in the motivations and actions of men over women and will do literally everything in their power to justify their faves while treating female characters like one dimensional cutouts who exist to serve men's narratives. because you are predisposed to find any and all "unladylike" behaviors in female characters as unlikeable and you make up excuses to rationalize it rather than examine the biases you've imposed on your media consumption. because sometimes i think it's actually far more interesting when a woman breaks the mold in an unpleasant way but the same doesn't actually apply to men because that's the status quo in fiction and why should i feel compelled to give a fuck about them when there's like 100000000 of you doing that for me. because almost every single time i see an essay about how deep and complex a morally questionable character is it is literally always every single time without fail the exact same 20-30 something year old guy that looks like his name is kyle and i'm bored of it.

"that's a double standard─" it sure is! die mad about it.

[tiredyke]

some of you guys view misogyny as simply men being mean to women and not a systemic hierarchical issue that prevents women from gaining liberation, support systems or a socioeconomic foothold and it shows every time you talk about “misandry”

[tiredyke]

this is embarrassing like you’re literally the problem

[catgirlforeskin]

I always wonder, how do these people think patriarchy happens? Truly don’t understand how you can act like it’s just this self-perpetuating force of nature that no one enforces or benefits from, unless you’re just knowingly lying because you want to preserve the privilege you get from it. But you’d need mashed potatoes for brains to just earnestly believe that

[segamascott]

it is important to remember there's a lot of gay people who are only liberals because they are a gay person

fascinating how often men expect women to sympathize with their fears of being perceived as or treated like a woman

[meangirlnurse]

so much "masculinity" is constructed around the certainty that being gay or being a woman is inherently demeaning. and we're supposed to nod along supportively

[meangirlnurse]

"male loneliness crisis" ok so like.....what would happen if you started acting like a better friend to other men in your life? what's stopping you? is it the fear of being perceived as one of your inferiors?

[meangirlnurse]

"men aren't allowed to show emotions" ok so like…..what would happen if you started being more emotionally expressive? what's stopping you? is it the fear of being perceived as one of your inferiors?

[meangirlnurse]

#patriarchy hurts men #patriarchy hurts boys

i think you've VERY fundamentally misunderstood the point of my post tbh

men and boys first and foremost hurt themselves to avoid being perceived as their lessers (i.e. women and gay men)

they could stop. but the punishment is being perceived as one of us, and that would be just terrible. so they won't.

[meangirlnurse]

i'm fucking tired of being expected to endlessly wring my hands over the poor men who are hurt by patriarchy toooooo...when the only penalty they really face is being treated like the people they consider subhuman (women and gay men)

[meangirlnurse]

the Only way men will ever stop "being oppressed by the patriarchy" is if they dismantle the idea that women and gay men are inferior

once a man decides that there's nothing wrong with being seen as gay or a woman, the power of "the patriarchy" over their lives is vastly diminished

but you cannot force your oppressors to stop seeing you as a subhuman. this is something men have to choose for themselves

and they overwhelmingly do not. because when they're not playing victim/wounded bird about the circumstances of their gender, they fundamentally understand that they benefit from patriarchy far more than they are harmed by it

fun fact: the Mr. Bankston here is Mark Bankston, the same lawyer who absolutely ruined Alex Jones during the Sandy Hook trial.

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

it’s frustrating when you’re talking about an inherently oppressive institution that dehumanizes everyone who is subjected to it and someone is like “it’s especially bad for those it is incorrectly applied to!” as though being the intended victim of an injustice makes it less of a tragedy

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

been thinking about this lately after some discussions about historical marriage where people have chimed in about how extra awful it would have been for trans men forced into The Wife Role because of dysphoria. which like. yeah. but the thing about The Wife Role in the context of not having civil rights and being the property of a husband is that it is inherently dysphoria-inducing to anyone who identifies as a human being instead of an object.
