I love when cats age like they’ve performed back breaking labor their entire lives… like no you’ve just meowed in my face at 6am with your stinky tuna breath because I’m not immediately awake to give you breakfast

If you believe a woman reaching her breaking point and fighting back against her abuser is somehow proof of them 'both being abusive', I wish you the absolute worst.

. More than 4 out of 5 Indigenous women have experienced violence.

. 48.8% of Indigenous women have faced stalking

. Murder is the third leading cause of death for all Indigenous women

. Compared to white women Indigenous women are 2x more likely to be raped, 1.7x more likely to experience violence and 3x more likely to me murdered.

. 56.1% of Indigenous women experience sexual violence.

MISSING AND MURDERED INDIGENOUS WOMEN AND GIRLS IS A CRISIS. SILENCE IS COMPLIANCE

SAY THEIR NAMES: Ida Beard (missing), Freda Knowshisgun (missing), Shacaiah Harding (missing), Tyana Whitehawk (missing), Michelle Elbow Shield (murdered), Emily Morgan (murdered), Stacy Hill (murdered), Mona Lisa Two Eagle (murdered), Emily Pike (murdered and dismembered) and many more, I wish I could fit them all here.

If you refuse to analyse women’s actions for their value and ramifications, under a guise of its ‘empowerment’, you do not treat women like mature adults, humans.

You treat them like children.

Yes, I’m talking about choice feminism.

And how dommes and dominatrixes portray the “perversion” of that same power disparity eroticization. Sure you’re whipping a handcuffed man but you’re dressed in 8 inch PVC stilettos and a leather corset that inhibits your full range of motion. He gets uncuffed and walks out with his privilege and you walk out a woman.

everything snaps into place when you realize (male) sexuality under patriarchy is based on the eroticization of power disparity

It’s so annoying to argue with anyone who supports abstinence until marriage because they have already framed it as a moral issue. They’re just gonna bait you into admitting that you’re “weak willed” and that it’s not that hard to “resist temptation”, but first we need to backtrack because why does sexual desire need to be inherently resisted? If we’re goaded into affirming their narrative then they can pass laws to blame those who are “weak”, and they’re gonna take and take until they see us as iron-willed bastions of self-control. And unless they enact a seed spilling ban, it will be women who face consequences for their “deviance”.

they are 100% going to end up going after birth control

“Things are nuanced” “oh so rape is nuanced” we can’t even be tongue in cheek on this app anymore 💔

But seriously, I do get what you mean. I’ve been trying to formulate a response but I end up contradicting myself. I want to say that I don’t think that drag in its most simplest form is much different than gender nonconformity, but then that would be implying that gender nonconformity is an active performance of a character different than one’s self.

Like, why is someone actively trying to perform something that is detrimental to so many women? Wouldn’t said performance imply they undermine the severity of its impact? And sure, men are pressured into gender conformity but it’s because the alternative is femininity and femininity = bad.

I don’t think every female impersonating drag artist is an overt misogynist but there is at least an implicit level of it if intentionally performed as so.

I’m very neutral about drag as a concept; I know some radfems liken it to blackface, which as a white woman I’m not going to be the one to add another opinion into the mix, but when doing a basic overview I found an op ed that was interesting:

“Blackface is a lie about a minority group, and drag is an exploration of gender.” I think that’s true. The existence of drag is not to imply that “women are like this”; makeup and fashion are not inherent to womanhood; but many aspects of drag culture are misogynistic. Terms like cuntiness, fishiness, snatch, are all specifically sex based misogyny. It’s not universal in drag culture but it was born out of it. Historically, the portrayal of women was done by men through men’s own perspective. Even today, It’s a point of contention for women to participate in drag culture, and though people are increasingly more tolerant to its existence, they’re still treated as a guest in someone else’s home.

But genuinely I think this isn’t inherent to drag in and of itself. A drag persona is individualistic to an extent in which there are personas specifically parodying an existing woman, to the embodiment of a stereotype, to something avant garde enough that the only tie to “womanhood” is through the societal association of femininity to womanhood.

But I do think it’s misogynistic to imply that all women critical of drag culture are conservatives against gender nonconformity, because it downplays the reality that women are a minority group and maintains the idea that certain men are exempt from being misogynistic by virtue of a subculture that women were excluded from until present day.

Can we stop pretending that intersex people don’t have any agency of their own, and that they’re always required to either be in allegiance with trans rights or gender criticals

For anyone who wants to hear it from people who actually have a DSD condition (or like trans ideologists like call them: 'intersex people'), I recommend following Living With XXY on Twitter.

He is a gay man who has Klinefelter syndrome and debunks a lot of genderist nonsense, including gendies who pretend to be intersex for oppression points. He also constantly receives abuse from trans activists who keep on trying to transplain he is not really a man (coming from people who insist misgendering is violence, this is beyond parody).

At this point the best case scenario is that this is a marketing scheme because this statement is way too on the nose considering Sabrina and Sydney are the most controversial female celebrities right now. I have been hearing people say that her Onlyfans only contains SFW images that were already public, and I’m really hoping that it’s true and she just ended up scamming a bunch of creeps. Literally everyone in this girl’s life has failed her and continues to ruin her life for money and clout.

I was genuinely convinced that I had BPD while in an abusive relationship and it wasn’t until years after when I got into another relationship and I was like “oh shit, it’s actually very possible for me to be mentally stable while dating someone”

Upon combing through available Epstein files I can say that nothing was particularly unique to the elite, detached, cabalistic pedophile group that most people believe in. Epstein and Maxwell weren’t snatching children off the streets, never to be heard from again, and chained up and ritualistically murdered by people in robes. The way he obtained his victims was no different than how sex trafficking functions all around the globe. They were lured in by the promise of quick easy money while in school if you did “this really easy thing”. His victims lead seemingly normal lives outside of it. Besides his immense power and wealth, the depositions make him out to sound like he could be any guy.

And he really is no different than the middle aged teacher busted for soliciting an underage student, or the European man who travels abroad for sex tourism, or the study abroad student who visits a German brothel where the women barely understand the language, or the guy who regularly visits massage parlors (which is the most common form of sex trafficking), or a man with CSAM on his computer, or the 30 year old man with a teenage girlfriend. You could pass any of these men on the street on a random Tuesday. There aren’t any hidden clues devilishly planted around the celebrity sphere that point towards a secret underground adrenochrome harvesting farm. It’s much more likely that your neighbor Joe Schmo has more in common with Epstein than he wants to admit.

We need to stop believing that pedophilia and sex trafficking are unique evils encapsulated in a bubble that lies outside of society. It is society.

truly the united states has never deserved to be bombed more, but where are our “enemies”? it’s almost as if none of the “threats” from the, for example, islamic world give a shit anymore because our reactionary politics now align with theirs. interesting.

(two notes: thomas kinkade’s estate has sent a cease and desist letter to DHS. and most american kids first see the gast painting in our middle school history textbooks in the context of “manifest destiny was bad.”)
