Remember that men commit the majority of sex crimes against dogs, cats, horses, cows, lizards, birds, beavers, donkeys, children, orangutans, goats, rotten corpses etc. before you worry about whether men find you attractive or not.

Just a reminder that those men in the trial are only the ones that got identified out of more than one hundred found in camera.

I wish all of these men a slow, violently tortuous death.

Men can't stand female only spaces but will complain about the 'sanctity' of theirs. All female only spaces are labelled discriminatory. Female uber drivers are called discrimination against men. They exist without context. They're so delusionally shallow that their understanding of things is shallow too. They will never understand how things work against women as a whole. They want to rant and rage about being discriminated cause theyve convinced themselves that writing men and women are equal on paper has deleted the societal factors and individual differences in experiencing the world.

if we could read minds I still don't think we'd understand them.

girls doing better than boys in school and the rise of anti-intellectualism is not a coincidence, I fear

one day i hope that we find names and evidence of women who wrote some of my favourite works, only to be plagiarised by males whose names they publish and circulate under

I mean surely we all grew up feeling like there was a wrongness inherently deep inside us that will endure for the rest of our lives

THIS 💯 👆 !!!

Plus they see children, girls especially as masturbatory objects! If they could all be Incestuous in addition of their pedocriminal behaviour, they would do it in a heartbeat!

A lot of men aren’t even capable of romantic love. Wanting someone weaker, dependent and someone they hope is inferior to them is designed entirely around getting an ego boost by proxy and having someone to exploit. Sure they can feel fond of that woman and even idealise her, which isn’t remotely healthy and also stems from seeing her as a construct of virtues not a person, but that’s not love either.

Most men simply aren’t capable of loving a woman as a person and partner.

I remember being about 13 in an online webcam chat with a man who must of been in his late 40s.

It was the usual situation.

I was naked and he was saying all these things to me which again I had been doing this for years with different men but what keeps making this particular night stay in my head no matter what is that his two sons came down the stairs saying "Dad! Dad look what we did at school"

This man minimized the screen, he didn't end the chat. He didn't exit the window. He said to them that he was doing work stuff and would be up in a minute. The kids sounded disappointed and then went up stairs. The man then said "where were we?"

I disconnected.

People will go on and on about not all men but I always think back to my time in these places. That man was a father. To kids my age.

How many of the other men I chatted with were fathers? Husbands?

I know at least a couple men who were receiving explicit photos from a 15 year old me while at work, while at family gatherings or meetings.

Sometimes I just have to laugh when people fight so hard for men because their jakey is special and would never.

I have so many stories about these kind of men and I want to document them. As evidence? As catharsis? So other women will know that they aren't alone. I don't know. How should I tag them? Should I be giving a trigger warning? If anyone reads this I'd like to hear what you think.

I remember sitting in every history class thinking “I wonder when a woman will show up. I wonder when we’ll learn about a woman in history. I wonder when we’ll hear about a woman.” There are many important female historical figures. We don’t hear about them because men don’t want us to. Men are not the only ones who shaped this world; but they like to pretend they are.

My take on « The Everlasting Bridegroom » by Carl Spitzweg for Nova and Mali Classics but make it gay 3!

today i learned that analysis of adult skeletons from viking age scandinavia shows that 7% of males experienced childhood malnutrition versus 37% of females. and also that out of known rune stones listing families, most list 4-6 sons and not a single known stone lists more than 2 daughters. can you imagine how the childhood mortality rate must have skewed if those were the malnutrition rates for the women who actually made it to adulthood?

"Let's all strike like the women of Iceland did!"

OK but are you ready to accept that it was a RADICAL feminist movement that organised the 1975 kvennafrí?

Yes, that's right! The Icelandic women who organised the 1975 kvennafrí were part of a radical feminist group called the Red Stockings or Rauðsokkahreyfingin.

The same radical feminists you demonise and try to silence online.

So do you still think that radical feminism doesn't work?

(The 2023 kvennafrí was not organised by radical feminists. To my knowledge it was not radical feminists behind that and Rauðsokkahreyfingin are no longer in operation)

I talk to many people who say things like "oh I have trauma but I don't have PTSD", but then when I talk to them a little more I realize that they most likely do, they just can't recognize it as such due to how lacking PTSD awareness is, even beyond the whole "it's not just a veteran's disorder" thing.

The main reason they think they don't have PTSD usually has to do with flashbacks and nightmares, either they have one but not the other or have neither. But here's the thing, those are only two symptoms out of the 23-odd recognized symptoms. Flashbacks and nightmares are two of the five symptoms under Criterion B (Intrusion), which you only need one of for a diagnosis. The other three symptoms are unwanted upsetting memories, emotional distress after being reminded of trauma and physical reactivity after being reminded of trauma (i.e. shaking, sweating, heart racing, feeling sick, nauseous or faint, etc). Therefore you can have both flashbacks and nightmares, one but not the other, or neither and still have PTSD.

In fact, a lot of the reasons people give me for why they don't think they have PTSD are literally a part of the diagnostic criteria.

"Oh, I can barely remember most parts of my trauma anyway." Criterion D (Negative Alterations in Cognition and Mood) includes inability to recall key features of the trauma.

"Oh but I don't get upset about my trauma that often because I avoid thinking of it or being around things that remind me of it most of the time." Criterion C (Avoidance) includes avoiding trauma-related thoughts or feelings and avoiding trauma-related external reminders, and you literally cannot get diagnosed if you don't have at least one of those two symptoms.

"Oh I just have trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep, but I don't have nightmares." Criterion E (Alterations in Arousal and Reactivity) includes difficulting sleeping outside of nightmares.

"But I didn't have many/any trauma symptoms until a long time after the trauma happened." There's literally an entire specification for that.

Really it just shows how despite being one of the most well-known mental illnesses, people really don't know much about PTSD. If you have trauma, I ask you to at least look at the criteria before you decide you don't have PTSD. Hell, even if you don't have trauma, look at the criteria anyway because there are so many symptoms in there that just are not talked about.

PTSD awareness is not just about flashbacks and nightmares.
