(The bottom one is the tweet she responded to originally)
Like honest to god if this is how you think then you should just give up on living at this point bc tbh you’re wasting valuable air that a woman could be breathing instead
me reading the comments on Jenny Nicholson posts
#The “male loneliness crisis” if we’re gonna be silly and pretend that’s a real issue for a second#is caused by men not expressing their feelings and creating a society where expressing their feelings is “wrong” and “womanly”#And expressing affection is met with “what are you - gay?”#It’s an entirely self inflicted problem#Mentally ill men aren’t feeling lonely and isolated because women exist in the same spaces as them. Women are in fact always the ones#putting themselves out there and trying to help these sorts of guys. I personally think they shouldn’t but unfortunately they do.#Like notice how men with a lot of good female friends are almost always happier and more healthy and confident#The problem isn’t women#The problem is literally spelled out in these angry sexist tweets#“Sorry we don’t express our feelings like you Fffeeeeemalesss”#Yeah thats the issue bruh#Men will have a whole group of friends#And they’ll still feel lonely because they’re actively upholding a standard they set#To never express themselves in any way that seems vulnerable#I’ll tell you right now as someone who kept my “serious” issues close to my chest for a long time#That’s what kills you#You can know tens of people and you can go to lunch with them and you can talk about your interests#But at the end of the day you still come home and feel alone when you really need support#This fundamental misunderstanding of how basic human connection works among sexist men is so sad but I can’t even feel sorry for them#Because at the end of the day they’re whiny bitches who chose this for themselves#They choose at every turn to hate women instead of loving each other#Because to them hatred of women is more important#56k likes on that original tweet#Tells me enough#fuck yall#End it now for all I care#I hope your little self victimizing epidemic gets worse

Ok why is there a thing in the cis-het world about gendered underwear when briefs are literally the exact same thing as panties. Like there’s an extra bit on the front for men’s and the extra spot in the middle for women’s. Same exact build. BRIEFS ARE PANTIES. Why are there people fighting about wearing the “opposite” underwear. Wear that frilly thing with the bow, boy. Sag them pants enough to see that waist band, girl. Lmao. We could all die right now.
#i realized this like a year ago#this isn’t an actual problem but some people get them in a twist when women wear boxers or something like that#ok but cock in the tiny cotton underwear with the teeny bow#hmmmm

(this is a pls stop blaming juliette lewis for nat’s arc and death post <3)
#regardless of whether you loved the death or hated it YOU CAN STOP BLAMING JULIETTE NOW OKAY??#like even people who liked it overall but had qualms the party line is well I’m sure it was juliette leaving early so that’s why xyz#no! it was not! this was the plan <3 and idc if you hate love or nothing it I just think like making these excuses for things is weird#like do I get why some people might have assumed juliette might have left early sure yes but also idk like PEOPLE ARE FALLIBLE#showrunners are fallible! and that’s OKAY! they’re PEOPLE! and you CAN love every choice they make but jumping through hoops#to find *reasons* for the things you didn’t like is so interesting to me cause like…it’s okay!!! they can do a little thing you didn’t love!#you can even SAY you didn’t love it if you want and that’s okay too! or not! but stop blaming juliette lewis for whatever you didn’t like#also the rest of the article is an interesting read!#now I’ll do conjecture and tell you it is CONJECTURE for sure okay disclaimer#but after reading this article I think it is even possible Juliette’s anger with nats arc was partially BECAUSE she knew her death was soon#like maybe! who knows! not us! but I don’t even know how I became this hardcore juliette defender bc honestly I dosagree w her on a lot lol#but like I’ve seen people say oh she’s difficult and she made them do this and she’s a problem and she always does this#HELLO??? stop blaming women for shit baselessly??#(if you casually wondered if maybe she wanted to leave and didn’t say it like it was fact or use it to pin blame on her for stuff…#…this isn’t directed at you)#but some people got VICIOUS#juliette lewis#natalie scatorccio#yellowjackets

i cant stand feminist discourse on this site because its like 90% "feminism means equality which means you can't say anything bad about men and you have to criticize women just as much as men because misandry is just as bad as misogyny" and these posts always get thousands of notes from other people who call themselves feminists likeee
#the problem isn’t that women are immune to criticism it’s that they get overly criticized and judged to a much harsher degree than men#and to hear people say that we need to criticize women more or ‘stop pretending they’re all innocent angels’ is fucking infuriating#considering women actually get burned at the stake for expressing negativity toward men while men get to make misogynistic remarks and jokes#and get crowned for being so brave and having such a strong moral compass that they aren’t afraid to stomp down on women#like the shit with amber heard. everyone is so quickly to turn on women and demonize them when they’re literal victims and uplift men who#abuse them#but sure men are demonized in society and don’t feel cherished enough and that’s a problem! /s#neon talks#misogyny

disliking specific real life trans people for their abusive or hateful behavior isn’t transphobia or transmisogyny lol
#I keep seeing posts about how it’s unfair and transmisogynist if a trans man isn’t unconditionally supportive of all trans women he knows#and I’m like…. lmao. this kind of shit is why domestic violence is such a bad problem in this community#you think individuals owe you because you’re systemically marginalized and that’s just not true people are allowed to leave you and say no#- to you. it’s called we’re all adults with autonomy

my hot take for the day is that I trust the average straight man more than straight women who romance astarion with their twink elf male tav who’s been modded to the extreme
#and ascend him every playthrough and don’t see the problem with astarion ascending#it just bothers me so so much how straight women act towards queer relationships sometimes#and this definitely isn’t to say that straight women can’t make twink tavs and romance men#there’s nothing wrong with that#not inherently#but it gives me the genuine ick when i see their Dark and Mysterious twink elf male tavs with astarion and then they ASCEND ASTARION#it gives me the same uncomfortable feeling as the boyfriends webtoon comic#like these things are not related but the genuine ick is the same#im aware im a hater this is me being a hater im straight up admitting that#but as a more feminine gay man it makes me so genuinely uncomfortable to see shit like this because it FEELS like queer relationships are#being fetishized#and thats my hot take for the day#🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺#jes rants

years ago i remember someone saying about dave strider that either he’s gay or he’s bisexual but deep down too misogynistic to actually have a fulfilling romantic relationship with a woman. anyway. this is how i see dean winchester
#i truly do not think dean as we know him could ever be happy longterm romantically with a girl#whether that’s because he’s gay or because of a mix of mommy issues and deep rooted misogyny. who knows#maybe both#hes sexually attracted to women in canon for sure but#sexuality’s complex. honestly he’s gay to me#coming out as gay dean truther#then again like. Can i really see him settling down romantically with a guy either#not really.#am i a gay dean truther. i dont fucking know. his problems are too complex for me to talk about in the tags of this post#oliver talks#spn#dean winchester#supernatural#also#with dave it’s like. he means well hes not an awful misogynist but re like. his treatment of jade. him being into her isn’t actually him#being into Her as so much as it is him being into the idea of this girl he can protect#what’s that line. where he’s like ‘jade would probably just be a liability if she got it in her head she wanted to take le down’ or somethin#idk i don’t go here anymore. but#anyway that’s what deans like with lisa he isnt actually in love with her he just likes the idea of the family she symbolises

People when a "transphobic" person posts about women experiencing violence & speaks up against misogyny:
"Yeah sure but OP is transphobic"
People when a misogynistic person posts about transphobia & speaks up for the trans community:
"Yay!!! Thank you!!! Love you!!! You‘re so right!!!"
Do you see the difference? You can’t tell me that you haven’t seen it yourself.
When someone speaks against misogyny/for women, it becomes irrelevant to these people as soon as OP is "transphobic" BUT when someone speaks against transphobia/for the trans community, it doesn’t matter if OP is misogynistic or not.
Just like you‘ll see countless "transphobes/TERFs dni" but rarely to never "misogynists/male supremacists dni".
#women deserve better#radfem#radblr#radical feminism#feminism#radfems do touch#radfems do interact#radfems please touch#womens rights#sex based rights#inspired by a conversation with my radfem bestie#transgender#transphobia#tra receipts#double standards#they seriously think misogyny isn’t a real fucking problem#they don’t even recognize it#utterly pathetic#and most of these so-called transphobes are simply gender critical and only want to preserve women‘s sex based rights and protections#how evil /s

So basically what I'm getting is that penetrating gojo('s infinity) endears you to him and the only ppl who've done it successfully are two older men, one of which was literally his awakening
…Yeah Gojo’s relationship with men is not healthy. (Not that he’s any better with women. It’s just a different flavor of messy.) But you don’t need to be violent with him! Geto and Nanami are proof of that.
I think the common thread between the 4 of them (Toji, Sukuna, Geto, and Nanami) is not only their fighting prowess, but their strength when it comes to tolerating Gojo’s insufferable personality. They don’t let Gojo get under their skin and can take control of the conversation from him.
#But it’s very important that the stuff with Toji is one-sided. Gege isn’t that kind of mangaka thankfully.#I don’t blame anyone if they’re uncomfy with that. It’s just a thing that happened.#Being a repressed queer teenager is messy and I think Gege did a good job of getting that across without being weird about it.#My tastes have always skewed older so I get it but holy fudge Gojo has issues.#His probable crush on Toji reminds me of the white cis gay men that thirst over violent racists/homophobes.#Not sure if he likes women or if it's comphet. He definitely likes men and made it a problem for everyone.#gojo satoru#jujutsu kaisen#jjk spoilers#asks

your attitude towards Black queer women is nasty and there's nothing stereotypical about a Black (possibly) lesbian character. on top of that, yall was on here the other day talm bout some "taking stuff from black men" but who woulda been seated for a yet another Black man chasing after a yt woman anyway and tryna use sex to control her??? franchaela are going to have a happy ending even if a little bit unconventional (we literally don't know how bridgerton's societal landscape will change by then) but what's the difference between them already living out quiet lives away from the ton and.....continuing to do that? it wouldn't be out of shame but out of what they want while it just so happens to protect them? what exactly would be different than what benophie woulda had to do??? who also had to go to the country to limit the risk of folks inquiring about sophie. it's the same thing and yet your issue seems to be that it's not a Black woman with a white man who harassed her to be his mistress and refused to see her as anything but that. i have no doubt the show will change that part of their dynamic but that seems to be something you want to stay in tact and you need to unpack that cause it's pathetic. you should want better.
They aren’t going to change shit because their MO isn’t to uplift Black women of any kind. So what you really want me to do is cheer on what will be a promiscuous Black woman chasing after or romancing a married white woman(her cousin-in-law) who will have to end up hiding out in the country for the rest of her life to escape persecution. You want me to pretend like it’s somehow the same/a better story than a Black woman being chased after, who gets the marriage, the adoring spouse, the children, doesn’t have to live in hiding or else she’ll be jailed, etc.
You don't care that they also ruined a Black man’s image too? Fine, but this isn't being done for us. We keep getting handed the “unconventional” which is why our image is always a fucking mess in the media.
If you want to play stupid play stupid, but I'm not playing dumb with you.
I’m not happy that they made Marina half-Black when they know she has to die to give Eloise a happily ever after. I’m not happy that they had Lady Danbury get raped every five seconds in Queen Charlotte and tried to play it off for laughs. Or that she remained alone with her children hating her. I wont even mention Guinevere, who is only there either to be a sexual experimentation or a side kick to the non-Blacks. Not to mention she like Lady Danbury is just another iteration of the strong independent woman who doesn’t need a man.
Alice is another side character so I'm not happy that the best we’ll get in terms of a Black-ish main character is Queen Charlotte who unlike the Bridgertons doesn't exactly have a fully functioning marriage. Lastly I’m not happy that they pulled this stunt after pulling the other fifty eleven stunts when it comes to their Blackish female characters. They do the bar minimum and give us the worst shit so no I’m not going to pretend like it’s all hunky dory.
I’m absolutely disgusted by the treatment we have received by this show. I’m tired of the disrespect. It’s one thing to add drama it’s another to add unnecessary trauma which is all they have given us.
I’m sorry, but it should tell you everything that they refuse to show a Black woman in a loving relationship with a man where shes desired and wanted. Every woman is afforded that but us? No ma’am I’m not falling for this bs.
Sophie should've been Black and this character they've created should’ve stayed in the rough drafts. No ifs ands or buts about it.
Actually read the books and pay attention to this show rather than listening to a bunch of psychotic racist ass non-Black women who are trying to sell you shit on a platter cause they don’t really give a damn since they have and will continue to get theirs.
#yes queer rep is important but this show isn’t going to deliver anything but pure garbage#black women deserved better than this and you’ll never get me to agree that this is actually good rep or that it will be okay#if they were going to do this the show should’ve made sophie black as well and set up that queer marriage wasn’t a problem back in s1#instead they are trying to give us scraps on all accounts cause they don’t give a damn about black women#Y'all aren’t going to bully me into accepting this shit#Find some simpleton who cant see the forest from the trees. I’m done#anti bridgerton#fandom misogynoir

I’m supposed to be posting my ocs more but I’ve been quite busy, have a super quick doodle in response to a couple people (accidentally, don’t worry no hard feelings) misgendering Steller, I assume because of the outfit and the hair. Steller uses he/him pronouns!
#he’s also one of my only cis characters. but he can be a little gnc. as a treat#my ocs#sketches#Woodward#steller's jay#the problem also isn’t helped by the fact that a lot of the people that I reference for his hair and skin tone and what not…. are women

#not to sound like a broken record#i know this has already been talked about a lot in current fandom discourse#but all the tommy love also comes from a place of#misogyny (buck’s m/f relationships failed bc the women weren’t good enough. but his first m/m is perfect and destined and tommy is god)#(even though we know next to nothing about them as a couple. cough 1 kiss and 1 failed date cough cough)#and biphobic concepts (buck’s only relationship/partner that is worth shipping and love and fandom time is the m/m one)#(if he’s with a woman he’s not worth our time? the relationship/partner isn’t worth our time. right?)#some people kinda sounding like the conservative haters right now#oliver stark’s voice shouting from afar: he isn’t gay! he is bisexual! he still likes women!#some people like to celebrate bi buck (as we should) but then erase his previous gfs#in favour of this 1 man he’s shared literally 4 scenes with. okay#<- <- <- i drafted this like 6 hours before that interview came out. ollie came to back me up with the ‘he still likes women’ lmao#him dating a guy now does not erase or dismiss his previous m/f relationships or that he’s still into women#one final comment. any time buck got with a girl it was ‘they need to break up immediately’#‘she’s not right for him’#he’s with his first guy and it’s ’they should be endgame’#‘they’re perfect together’#huh?? one. we barely know tommy/them together#two. what exactly makes them endgame material? bc they’re both men? cough biphobic misogyny fetishization cough#three. it would be objectively hilarious if he realises his sexuality and within 2 weeks is dating a guy for the first time#and then that guy ends up being his endgame forever partner. lmaoooo that would be so dumb sawry#not to mention it would kinda lean into the biphobia and misogyny mentioned above#in that it would suggest that his problem with finding love previously was… women#and this problem is now magically fixed because… man#four. not to be a buddie endgame truther but if all the vocal support means this is what we get instead#instead of Them. i’m out see ya bye bye#i am sooooo reading way too much into this but oh well

Telling black men that they need to do better as a collective isn’t anti black btw
#bleats#black women divest#i said what i said#it’s insane how u cannot call out actual problems in this community without ppl calling u anti black and self hating#the cape has long been burned but ya know#also divestment ≠ worshipping white ppl or whatever y’all wanna pretend it is 🙄#and it damn sure isn’t internalized racism 🙄🙄🙄🙄#it’s self preservation#you also can be single and divest too lmaooo

and ANOTHER thing —sorry I’m almost done—the creation of that lust filled space also creates such an unempowered state for Kate to be in. there isn’t anything she can really do except sort of stand there doe-eyed and take it in. Also that’s so dark!
#sorry I keep using that word but!#contrast it with pride and prejudice#it’s funny and powerful that Darcy proposes like ‘I WISH I didn’t love you or find you beautiful for several logical reasons but I DO’#marry me pls’#(because it is fun to see a character overcome almost against their will)#but Lizzy’s response is so important and so in the best sense of the word admirable#because she ISN’t impressed!!!!!#and it isn’t the girlboss meanness that she is so often celebrated for!#which is the world’s version of empowerment for women#it’s just that she is like ‘this is not my problem!!!!!!! that you are so in love with me but disgusted by my family/circumstances’#so she’s kind of like ‘don’t bring this to ME.’#and that’s so iconic and compelling and forces Darcy to stop#because it’s so valid and so real person of her!!!!!!#because yeah! a man feeling uncomfortable about his feelings for a woman#is not that woman’s problem!!!! and even though some of us would be so affected by it#(tbh i would have been so flattered that he liked me and was struggling against it I might not have yelled at him)#it’s so iconic that she DOES!#the real person of it!!!!!! the negotiation of life!!!!!!!!!!#Darcy’s problem is he has been wrestling in his head and speaking to no one#and Lizzy forcibly reminds him that she is a person with feelings and it is actually not his place for him to be listing out at this moment#all the objections he has had to the idea of marrying her#not hers to know!!!!!!!#and he’s like ‘oh wow that’s so true’ and course corrects#all without being sort of this pandering sentimental softie so often presented on the OTHER side#he is mad at her! he’s bitter! but his bitterness soon takes a proper direction (as he says at the end)

can tenmartha be an option.
#musings#i understand the energy of The Doctor Doesn’t Deserve Martha#but i personally feel as though there should be a timeline where she is properly appreciated#one written with thought and love! and not just making Ingrained Racism a part of the doctor’s character#bc that truly feels a reflection of the time the show was written in#and not an accurate in character decision that the doctor himself would make#and it’s also like …. the narrative around Strong Independent Women of Color#who are just Inherently Better than white people#is also very much A Problem as well.#i kinda wanna write the s3 that exists in my head#where ten’s reticence is much more clearly bc he knows he isn’t prepared to love martha and lose her#and martha picks up on that and resents him for not being over rose
