#Men are pests

[mikasasrippedtoenail]

Why is the moral dichotomy always placed upon women? Why is it only women that have to be pious and self righteous? Why are women supposed to be kind and nurturing while men are supposed to be intelligent and daring? Why can't women be mischievous and loud? Why can't women be human?

“My bar has always been an inclusive bar,” she said. “Trans people should be respected and have rights, and lesbian women who are born female should also have a space for themselves.” “If the young woman said: I prefer women, then the trans woman was offended and cried transphobia. But this young woman is not transphobic, it’s just a matter of consent, she doesn’t like penises, since she’s a lesbian!”

A lesbian bar that has operated in Rennes, France for nearly a decade has been forced to close its doors following a disturbing swell of vandalism and death threats by trans activists. Orane Guéneau, the owner and manager of lesbian bar La Part des Anges, was publicly denounced as “transphobic” and accused of “misgendering” by critics.

Speaking with Ouest France, Guéneau said she made the decision to shut down the venue to protect her employees in response to increased aggression, both online and at her storefront. On April 14, four unnamed trans activists spray painted the menacing message “Fuck TERFs,” accompanied by a trans symbol, on the front door of the venue during activities that were aimed at opposing national pension reform.

“I have to close after the attack that we experienced,” Guéneau told Ouest France. “The window was tagged and a pane was broken, it was hyperviolent for employees and customers, and the bar was full.”

A few days before the acts of vandalism were committed, Guéneau made a book critical of trans activism available to her patrons. 

Titled When Girls Become Boys and written by Marie-Jo Bonnet, her detractors considered the act to be representative of her “coming out” as transphobic, and condemned her on social media. 

But the backlash was not limited to vandalism and social media condemnation, Guéneau also started to receive threatening messages scrawled on paper slipped under her door last month, some of which read: “Save a trans, commit suicide,” and “One bullet, one TERF.” 

Guéneau faced further harassment throughout the month of May when a local chapter of the French feminist organization Nous Toutes published a statement calling for their supporters to boycott the bar. 

“In Rennes or elsewhere: no feminism without trans people,” reads the call to action from Nous Toutes 35. “For several years, people from the Queer community have been denouncing attacks against them in a bar in Rennes: La Part des Anges. These recurring assaults are all the more problematic since this bar claims an identity as a lesbian and feminist bar.”

The statement continues: “Therefore, it’s important that this bar finally gets massively denounced. We would also like to call on the various political, activist or cultural organizations to stop organizing with this bar… transphobes have no place in our struggles.”

In response to the statement from Nous Toutes 35, Guéneau announced that she had filed a complaint for defamation, harassment and cyber-harassment.

Yet despite the claims of “transphobia,” Guéneau has said that her venue has always been accepting of people who claim to be transgender. 

“My bar has always been an inclusive bar,” she said. “Trans people should be respected and have rights, and lesbian women who are born female should also have a space for themselves.”

However, tensions have escalated over the past five years as Guéneau defended lesbian patrons who were being harassed by men who self-identified as women and attended the venue seeking sex.

On multiple occasions, Guéneau told Charlie Hebdo, trans-identified males came to the lesbian bar to flirt with same-sex attracted women. 

“If the young woman said: I prefer women, then the trans woman was offended and cried transphobia. But this young woman is not transphobic, it’s just a matter of consent, she doesn’t like penises, since she’s a lesbian!”

Women’s rights campaigner and founder of FemellisteMarguerite Stern shared her support for Guéneau, and questioned the accusations of “misgendering” leveled against her. Stern also placed blame for some of the harassment Guéneau endured in part on Nous Toutes for their public condemnation of the venue.

Nous Toutes, the liberal feminist group spearheading the harassment of the lesbian bar, has previously attacked causes they deemed to be “transphobic.”

In 2022, the group announced it would no longer provide data on domestic femicides due to concerns over the sex-based data being used by “transphobes.”

Nous Toutes had originally been founded to provide public insight into violence against women and girls in France, but launched into a social media war with another anti-femicide campaign group over transgenderism. 

After Féminicides Par Compagnons ou Ex accurately reported that no trans-identified males had been murdered by domestic violence in France in 6 years, Nous Toutes responded by suspending their release of any data related to the murder of women and girls in the nation, claiming that the information was “oppressive” and “otherwise illegal.”

Nous Toutes then convened to determine how to make their femicide data reporting more “inclusive,” floating strategies which included counting general transphobia as femicide.

Violence against women critical of gender ideology is a regular occurrence in France, with multiple instances of women being physically attacked for not accepting the concept that trans-identified males were “female” being recorded over the past two years.

Reduxx previously reported on violence breaking out at French pro-woman events deemed “transphobic,” including on International Women’s Day in 2021 and 2022 when a number of women were left with injuries from rampaging trans activists. 

In April of this year, a symposium intended to raise awareness of the plight of Afghan and Iranian women was abruptly postponed after trans activists threatened to violently ambush the event because of the presence of a gender critical speaker.

Generally speaking, I grew up on a lot of the big shonens (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, etc.) and have a relationship of fondness with the genre that drives me to frustration with a lot of the weak points many of them exhibit.

Like I can't. not. respect that these series had every reason to get as popular as they did, have many good qualities and iconic characters that linger in people's hearts, while also sighing in frustration at how many of them have "yeah he's a sex pest and all but he's such a funny guy, we won't ask him to change or get better towards women" as a staple character, for example,

anyway uncomfortable bathroom experiences are 0% your fault and 100% the fault of people who designed bathrooms to be uncomfortable. the fact that you live in a world where other people made choices that you have to live with does not make those choices yours.

(2/2)

thank you for saying this. i have personally never enjoyed using public bathrooms, even when they're clean and well-maintained, for precisely this reason - and men's bathrooms are so much worse than women's when it comes to privacy. maybe i'd feel differently if i'd been raised male, but the idea of having to pee in front of strangers is just bizarre to me. i also find it baffling when (sorry for the mildly sexist generalisation) groups of girls all go to the bathroom together as a sort of social activity; if anyone can give me an explanation for this one, please do, because i have never understood it.

anyway yes you're completely correct, bathrooms are uncomfortable, and it's much worse when your gender presentation is - like mine - androgynous enough that you're gonna have a bad time no matter which one you use. "the fact that you live in a world where other people made choices that you have to live with does not make those choices yours" is a great way to look at it. might trot that one out next time my mum uses the "you chose this" argument on me

❝ woah... not me apparently being compatible with an arkham employee, ❞ barton let out an incredulous scoff upon seeing the results of this 'bingo card,' squinting his eyes at some of the boxes. like, what did she mean she doesn't hate his mask? and matches his freak? barton might believe it if elizabeth didn't work at the worst rehabilitation clinic on earth, but unfortunately, she did. but then again — he didn't really know much about her, did he? barton's lips curled downwards in displeasure as he let out an uncertain hum and tilted his head to the side. ❝ what exactly are you trying to accomplish by sending me this, hmm? to show that you are 'different from the rest of them?' ❞ he rolled his eyes at the very concept, looking towards the wall for something. aha... there it was.

❝ yeah right. how about you quit and THEN we'll talk, huh? but for now, get out of here! before i use your eyes for my next doll. i've got a lot to do, and you're preventing me from doing it, ❞ barton picked up the object that he was looking for, which turned out to be a broom, and then proceeded to use it to try to get her to go away. he pushed it in her general direction and waved it around as if he was trying to spook her. and honestly, it might have looked a little bit like this:

Butch werewolf in the sense that for two weeks every March, I morph into an unrecognizable version of myself. Beamed straight into my body from some parallel existence where I’m a benign suburban dad and take an intense interest in the NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments

The days leading up to the first round, I ravenously devour post-season stats, news, and analysis. I obsess for hours over creating a decent bracket and maintaining an official reference

I join a fucking OFFICE POOL and enter my bracket, sending a guy over in SEO a $5 Venmo for the 35-person pot

I get genuinely disappointed when I bust my bracket in the first round, but still enjoy watching how the rest of my predictions play out regardless

And then when I graciously accept my $5 loss that I kind of knew from the beginning was going to happen, I immediately and violently exorcise the ghost of Mitchell and return to my regular life of yelling about whatever media I’m into at the moment and trying to baby-coach my coworkers into understanding that when I say “Please use he/they when referring to me,” that doesn’t mean “exclusively use they/them, even when I use masculine terms to refer to myself in conversations and reassure you that he/him is preferable”

someone tagged one of my posts about loving pigeons with #mike tyson so I'm taking this opportunity to remind the world that this disgusting human being is not only already a convicted rapist, but also accused of having committed another rape, which is not at all unbelievable considering that rapists are generally serial rapists, so I truly hope he dies soon so I never have to hear anyone remind me that this piece of garbage likes pigeons <3

Dear men: Sex is NOT a need

They've only been together for 3 months and she's already guilt tripping her for more sex?! Of course it's all about him, no real reasons why she's not in the mood, ex does she have a physically demanding job? Kids from a prior relationship? Does he try to initiate sex when he can clearly she she's busy? Did he start initiatating sex too early in the relationship? Do he do anything to create the romantic feeling?

Also if they have only been dating 3 months then most likely they still live apart. Does he "need" sex as soon as she steps through the door?
