people love going "we can recognise how men are hurt by patriarchy without minimising the harm done to women" and then minimising the harm done to women

re: tags on that office job post. yeah i might have delusions of grandeur enough to think i ought to be the 1% "special exception" but i guess i don't really see why that incites such ire in so many people. what's the point of being alive if not to dream big?

sex is fine but have you ever thought about all the ways you’d rewrite a flawed piece of media that shaped your life and holds a special place in your heart despite its unfulfilled potential

every time there’s suddenly a hate campaign against a female celebrity, the internet comes forward with their attitude of “i know the LAST one turned out to be a misogynistic and manipulative smear campaign after a woman was being abused and taken advantage of, but THIS TIME it’s real and justified” and then it never is and the cycle just repeats endlessly

many so called feminist need to realise that "believe women when they raise their voice against sexual harrasment" also applies to women you don't like

Full names and details of every man who was convicted of raping Gisèle Pelicot. The list includes 50 men who could be identified, besides Gisèle's husband, ranging in age from 27 to 74. Among them are a firefighter, a journalist, a nurse, a construction worker, and a prison guard. Most have families of their own, and only about half had previous convictions.

teens these days with their heartstopper easily accessible streaming on netflix don’t understand what it was like being 15 in 2016 and ur favorite show is a norwegian gay teen tv show that has no official english translation so the only way to watch it is on google drive. and if you’re watching it while it’s airing god help you because every time a new clip drops you have to wait for the translation tumblr accounts to post a transcript so you can at least read that before the fan translators have time to add english subtitles to the episodes and post them on the google drive. and when you try to recommend the show to anyone you have to be like trust me it’s such a great show here’s a link to the GOOGLE DRIVE.

I talk about female solidarity every so often and get misinterpreted over what I mean when I say it so to be very clear when I say solidarity I don't mean everyone needs to be buddy buddy with every woman and view her as a sister. It just means even if you hate a woman down to her bones you can at least agree she deserves a life free from violence and be willing to throw your lot in for the sake of shared interests.
I'll give an example I recently observed from men. A man on here was asked why he was always so eager to defend a celebrity when he was accused of violence and he replied that it's about pursuing the truth but also realising that in the event he was ever accused he would want someone to defend him and look at the facts. That is precisely the energy I think women should have for one another on similar matters.
Do it because in general men might often take the other side for their own interests and you might not be able to rely on that support.
