Helpful. For straight couples. To make baby. But! Not all 'woman' job should be for woman. Or else. Big trouble lol!

that terfs invented circa 4000 BC

The refusal, especially among liberals, to believe that pornography has any real relationship to sexual violence is astonishing. Liberals have always believed in the value and importance of education. But when it comes to pornography, we are asked to believe that nothing pornographic, whether written or visual, has an educative effect on anyone.

Her son, Paul Caruana Galizia, became a reporter after her assassination. He and Rachel Johnson were the first to break the story on Neil Gaiman.

He has a four part series about his mother's murder.

Unless you're a person with a DSD (intersex), you can't be "asigned" female at birth. You ARE female, at birth and for the rest of your fucking life. Just like how you aren't "asigned" human at birth, you ARE a fucking human.

This whole sex "asigning" thing for perisex people is the stupidest thing ever I CAN'T.

They do, though.

"Demonic killings linked to alleged transgender cult members" is a Fox headline if there ever was one.

It's just nobody cares. 'Cause it's Fox News.

This makes my blood boil.

They downplay the discomfort and fear that women feel in public bathrooms, changing rooms in their presence and claim that "nothing actually happened".

Not to mention, statistics show only 3 out of 100 sexual assaults are actually reported. Just because an incident doesn't make headlines doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

I think some FPSs being so realistic they're encouraged, and some directly sponsored and used, by the military is a good indication there's a line where the connection between artificial and real violence is so blurred it's indivisible.

The game Six Days In Fallujah was just a straight up simulator of the US invasion in Iraq from the US perspective (as it usually goes) and the gamified reenactment was so jarring even USAian Iraq veterans found it off-putting. It was postponed and cancelled and revived and it's set to be released this year.

Games have reached the potential for realism, the budget and profit margins and the cultural impact of blockbuster productions and their contents and representation should be considered the same.

Propaganda is propaganda is propaganda.

i think “video games aren’t really the violent child-corrupting threat some parents worry they are” and “certain circles of gamer culture are incredibly toxic and can lead people down dangerous/hateful ideological rabbit holes” are ideas that can absolutely coexist

earlier this week Twitter user ppuccin0 tweeted about a fashion article that advised against tops with large floral patterns, saying the wearer was in danger of looking like a "ロマンティックおばさん," or a "romantic auntie." the tweet went viral with many agreeing that a "romantic auntie" sounded like a very nice thing to aspire to be, and some even posted illustrations or photos tagged with the trend
