contrary to popular understanding, women’s freedoms have been continually restricted over the course of the last 700 years, with the nadir being the Victorian era

we have now clawed back some individual freedoms for some women in some countries, but *gestures around at current political developments *

who benefits? capitalist men

and they frame it as an upgrade: now clothes are cheap! you’re free to do whatever you want (work 16hrs/day in your bullshit job)

women have gone from being the inventors of the technology of cloth and the main producers of cloth

to being the main passive consumers of cloth

the people who scoffed at the Ukraine war being fought with WWII tech are simply ignorant of how war drives technology. WWII started with WWI tech. WWI began with horses and cannons, and ended with machine guns and motorcycles.

what we’re getting out of the Russian-Ukraine conflict is drone warfare. recently Zelenskyy told Biden that Ukraine would not lower the conscription age below 24 because the couldn’t afford to sacrifice that generation. within days they conducted an assault on Russian forces using a brigade made up entirely of drones

this is the capitalist dream. using cheap robots to destroy the other guy’s resources and people

while good for ukraine, this is terrifying for the rest of us. when ukraine wins the war, they’re going to need money, and they have an unbeatable product to sell: drones. they’re going to take over russia's customer market for military equipment, and the world is going to fill with drones.

and when the world’s decisions are largely made by violent men in pursuit of power, a world filled with drones is a deeply uncomfortable idea

Mrs. Claus opens "The Year Without a Santa Claus" by claiming the eponymous year took place "before you were born". Seeing as the movie was released in 1974, this means the year must have been before then.

Bounding this on the lower end is the presence of ice hockey - mentioned by Heat Miser - and the use of telephones. Ice hockey was invented in 1875, while Alexander Graham Bell built the telephone in 1876, meaning the year must post-date these. These figures give a range of approximately 100 years during which Santa may have taken his holiday.

Yet, narrowing this further is the presence of a December calendar counting the 1st to a Wednesday. Between 1876 and 1974, only the Decembers of 1880, 1886, 1897, 1909, 1915, 1920, 1926, 1937, 1943, 1948, 1954, 1965, and 1971 started on a Wednesday.

But still this can be narrowed further.

When Santa set out that Christmas Eve, we see what appears to be an almost full Moon in the sky. Within the years listed, only 1920 had a full Moon on Christmas.

Ergo, 1920 was the year without a Santa Claus.

Misogyny as policy treats women as 'less than'.

There is no law that controls a man's body. Now do the same for women.

Equal protection is the law.

I think that anytime a TRA, TIM or anyone in the gender cult tries to shame a woman into engaging in an intimate relationship with one of them by telling her she's a transphobe or "fetishizing genitals", or using ANY form of pressure or coercion, the response should always be "𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘴𝘵."

They're trying to 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘴 on another person against their will through coercion and manipulate them into non-consensual intimacy. That is what a rapist does, and that should be pointed out to them in no uncertain terms.

No more defending your sexual orientation or even your preferences. You're allowed to reject anyone for any reason, period. Anyone who pushes back against a woman's boundaries to the slightest degree needs to be told, "Rapists also do not respect boundaries or the word 'no', and you should think about that."

Once I started realizing that females really are superior like across the board, across species, and that the universe itself is really female... Life got better. Like I am no longer denying this truth that men have built a society around denying. Everyone knows females are better, more pleasant to be around, more interesting, more complex, more original. Everybody knows this. Even if patriarchy did not exist I would STILL want to be and live around women all the time.

Honestly Gisele was the “perfect victim”: married, not out at bars or scantily dressed or anything else that could be “blamed” on her. Her own husband drugged her and let men rape her, there was video evidence, they admitted to it.

And still. Dominique got 20 years. Most of the other men got nowhere near that. I never want to hear that the justice system is biased toward women ever ever again in my life when a “perfect victim” had to struggle so hard and STILL got no real justice.

"Feminism is hated because women are hated." Andrea Dworkin

Gender is a patriarchal tool to destroy women.

This July, in France, 10 women have been killed by their partners or exes. Including one right here. Kadia and her daughter. Nina, broken skull. Edna, stabbed. XX beaten to death. We cite them, we won't forget them.

Porn: rape training

Money isn't consent.

Pedophiles musn't remain family secrets.

Excision: cutting genitals is cutting freedom.

This August, in France, 15 women have been killed by their partner or ex. Marie-Lise, stabbed. Sonia, shot. Clara, 19 years old, her throat slit. Tricia stabbed. Clothilde, 8 months pregnant. Femicides.

You won't erase women.
