Yeah sorry I’ll never be normal about characters who only see themselves as having value in what they can do for others. Yeah it’s terminal. Sorry.

As far as I’m concerned, the single most radical change from journal fandom is the idea that fandom is primarily a space for kids.

*shakes cane* in MY day, teen fans pretended to be adults while we walked uphill both ways!

Empathy: I feel you

Sympathy: I feel for you

Lycanthropy: I feel awoo

@minors on this website:

You 👏 are 👏 in 👏 public 👏

Your blog is public, your posts are public. There is actually a setting to change this if you want to; otherwise literally anyone can and will interact. Stop advertising your age (and mental illnesses, etc) and block adults yourself if you want to.

If you wouldn't walk through a crowd of strangers wearing your personal info on a billboard or expecting nobody over 18 to so much as glance at you, don't do it online.

I think about Circe and calypso a lot. The way we reinterpret them as good women. Because we hate the idea of an evil powerful woman so much, because we don’t want to admit that there is legitimate reading for calypso and Circe both as rapists, because. They can be bad women. Bad people. As monsterous as Polyphemus, as antinoous. They can absolutely be evil, horrible women with a lot of power who do despicable things, who aren’t misguided or mad with love or a cautionary tale about what unmarried women become. They can just be goddesses the same way gods are horrible and awful. It messes me up that we so much HAVE to see them as good people to fit into our worldview. Sure Odysseus sucked. Maybe the people he met did too- there doesn’t have to be a good guy, he’s just the more interesting guy.

"Feminism is toxic femininity: heartless, greedy, self-absorbed and incapable of reason, empathy and accountability."

What's the matter? Your mommy won't make you a sandwich?

No man who gets laid would ever say such a thing.

Why does everything have to come back to "getting laid" to you people.

No really. It's pathetic. Feminism IS toxic in almost every version of it that still survives. What's more it's done more harm to men and women than it has done to help anyone at all. AND MORE THAN THAT it was a movement started by men. Explicitly to make women more promiscuous and think that it's "Liberating" to just sleep around.

Also made it so that it's easier to tax both sexes. So there's also that.

If you're a single issue feminist and you want to raise your son to respect women but you also use authoritarian parenting, you're pretty much guaranteeing that your son will be sexist. You're pretty much guaranteeing that your son will think being sexist is siding with the resistance, which is a common piece of propaganda that sexists use.

If you deny any struggles that he has and you expect him to care about women's struggles, you're pretty much guaranteeing that he will see feminism as women getting special treatment.

If you demand that he respect women and also demand that he respect authority, and if you call it "disrespect" when he yells at you in direct response to you yelling at him first, then you're pretty much guaranteeing that he won't take complaints of "disrespect" seriously.

If you rule with an iron fist and make him afraid of you, you're pretty much guaranteeing that he won't respect anyone who can't make him afraid of them, and the vast majority of women who he disrespects are not going to be able to make him afraid.

If you want him to question society's harmful attitudes against women, you also have to raise him to question society's harmful attitudes that benefit you. This includes society's harmful attitudes against children.

Imo this reel and the comments on it contain an annoying sense of privilege and smugness tbh. Being asked for pronouns can be awkward, so I don’t see the point in making fun of cis people for trying to answer when there’s even trans people who aren’t comfortable with that question either. Lots of these povs seem to be from nbs so it seems like they just want everyone to conform to their standards of socializing, which isn’t realistic or helpful imo.

Asking for pronouns is weird and ranges from unhelpful to dangerous to trans people. Nonbinary people (and where credit is due, many progressive trans and cis people as well) like to push it bc they know that your average person is not seeing someone and automatically thinking to refer to them as they/them or any assorted variety of neopronouns. They’re going to opt towards he/him or she/her and have accepted that occasionally they are wrong and will likely be corrected. For most people, the concept of misgendering just isn’t a big deal bc it happens to cis people all the time, even maliciously. At worst, it’s considered rude to continue after being corrected or to do so knowingly with intent to insult.

Did that. Was the sole lower enlisted female in my unit, living in a tent with a bunch of dudes in Afghanistan.

There were dirty jokes and yelling BILLY MAYS HERE at each other at 3am to be an asshole and wake people up.

The horror? My poor weak female sensibilities I guess...?

I am begging "most men are good, the small percent makes them look bad" proponents to spend ten minutes in an unmoderated male community, especially if porn is allowed in the community. Go where men hang out and listen to them in their rawest.

Fast track to misandry.

[re-jet-irony]

all males - like yourself - deserve to be castrated and silenced. <3 hope you get hit by a bus soon!

I bet this stroked your ego so well. Feeling good about being able to wish violence on people for having opinions.

True mark of someone totally really actually oppressed, don'tcha know? /s

very funny to me when people act like animal farm and 1984 are revolutionary anti government texts that the Powers That Be dont want you to read when they have literally been a part of every standard middle/highschool english lit cirriculum in the usa and beyond for decades. precisely because theyre such convenient primers to propagandize that Commies = Bad. the government is quite literally making kids read them
