Ballsy to post something like this on a place like Tumblr but
*clears throat*
I love and support straight men
You do not need to prove anything to anyone
You do not need to pander to people who would throw you under the bus without a second thought
And more importantly:
You’re allowed to express your emotions. But you’re also allowed to keep them hidden from others if you so wish to.
Being a man isn’t something you should be ashamed of. You’re an equal, integral part of human existence.
Here’s another reminder: fragile masculinity is a myth, and any gender can be toxic.
#men are great#women are great#everyone is great#it’s equality#feminism is equality#not a ticket to handouts and victimisation

How To Live Your Best Ace Life! |The Girlies are BREAKING social norms & gender roles| Ep22
https://youtu.be/gIwZgxsMufI?si=SjADeBz1wqCUJhC-
We are completing this social critique with part 4 to conclude the cautionary tale of trade wife delusions prompt up by regressive, sexist, chauvinistic. misogynist, toxic, patriarchal abusive INCELS. We’ve examine the trap of traditional housewife fantasy via Ballerina Farm who became viral for her trad wife content and being a cautionary helpmate example. We’ve discussed in Part 1 - Part 3 The Tell Tale Signs of patriarchal abuse disguised as traditional gender role normativity especially under christofascist racist sexist homophobic classist ableist patriarchy! By Queers specifically women and femmes living in their truth we dispel the myths of tradition in gender expressions, gender roles, and social markers!! QUEER Gen Z and young Millennial women/femmes take note! The girlies are QUEER and aren't living for the male gaze. The girlies are prioritizing their humanity for their authentic expression. From body hair, pixie cuts, nonconformity, LGBTQIA+ acceptance and rejecting cishet normative social scripts. This includes partnering (amatonormativity), child labor aka procreating (compulsory sexuality), and the 4B movement (refusing allosexuality/gender roles/cishet patriarchy as the default). Let's discuss why the girlies are queer and how queerness opposes hierarchal caste systems such as pickme politics/trade wife indoctrination/soft life aesthetics/hypergamy power plays etc. Full link to this video in the bio!

IMPORTANT!!!
I’ve only seen like one person talk about this and it’s super important that this gets out there
Multiple punk symbols and sayings have been added to the FBI’s domestic terrorism guide
Things included are
The symbol for anarchy
ACAB and 1312
The three arrows pointing down in a circle
Eat the rich
Those are a few but it also mentions anything anti-fascist and anti capitalist
So if you live in the US please be careful

Genuinely, what happened to “feminism is for everyone”?
That’s the feminism I grew up with: encouraging people to recognize that fighting sexism and restrictive gender roles helps folks of every gender. We’d push back on the idea that feminists hate men, pointing to inclusive feminist literature and how many men are feminists.
Now, there are so many people insisting that the solution to patriarchy is to openly hate and ostracize men no matter what. Why? What is the benefit? It’s certainly not effective in fighting oppressive structures to exclude half the population from your cause on the basis of immutable traits. It may feel cathartic to say horrible things about men and try to punish them for your frustrations with patriarchy. But the only actual effect I see is the increasing right-wing radicalization of young men, who are being told that the left hates them for the way they were born and presented with an abundance of proof that it’s true.
Why are we going back to treating men and women as different species? It doesn’t fix things to say “well women are the good gender and men are the bad one” this time. If you sincerely want to dismantle sexism, you’re going to have to unpack and let go of all sex and gender essentialism—even that which considers women inherently pure and men inherently immoral.
#read bell hooks read bell hooks I’ll say it 1000x more please read bell hooks#with the u.s. election I’ve been seeing so much about how young men are becoming more & more radicalized by ‘manosphere’ right-wingers#but people’s response instead of ‘let’s work to deradicalize/reduce radicalization’ has been ?? ‘let’s get more radical too’????#as in to stop talking to/having relationships with men entirely. who does that actually help? what effect are you wanting to see?#others say to let men ‘figure themselves out.’ what???? how do you think radicalization and deradicalization work????#intersectional feminism#sexism#transandrophobia#<I have absolutely seen these sentiments be inclusive of trans men completely ignoring that they don’t equally benefit from patriarchy#mine

I would love to feel comfortable to just wear a comfy, tight fitting top without a damn bra that just makes everything uncomfortable. But no, what if there's a chilly breeze and the nips say hello and then I feel scared of people looking and of men leering. So yeah, we need feminism so women's nips are just as sexualised as men's - hardly at all, and generally left to consensual activities in the bedroom.
like literally society can’t even handle women’s COVERED nipples. i hate bras and generally do just say fuck it but there’s always the fear of people hiving me shit for my nipples poking through my shirt, especially being sexually harassed about it. but with men it’s not an issue! they don’t have to stress so fucking much about their tits! i hate it here i want to throw up and die. bring back tge free the nipple movement right now
#also thank you for copping the brunt of reblog notifications#you are doing the nipple a great service#we need more posts showing the importance of feminism today#feminism is equality

Double Standard Dictionary: A Guide to Things That Are Only "Problems" When Women Do Them
Let's have an honest conversation about something that drives me absolutely crazy. You know those little comments and judgments that somehow only seem to apply to women? Yeah, we need to talk about that.
The Professional Edition
When men vs. when women do the exact same thing:
He's assertive → She's aggressive
He's focused → She's cold
He's passionate → She's emotional
He's dedicated → She's obsessed
He's confident → She's arrogant
He's strategic → She's manipulative
He's busy → She's neglecting her life
The Dating Double Standards
The classics that never seem to die:
He's dated around → She has "a past"
He's a bachelor → She's "left on the shelf"
He's selective → She's picky
He's career-focused → She's married to her job
He's a social butterfly → She's attention-seeking
He's "finding himself" → She needs to settle down
He's direct → She's desperate
The Appearance Police
The endless contradictions:
Look professional, but not too try-hard
Be attractive, but not attention-seeking
Wear makeup, but keep it "natural"
Be fit, but not too muscular
Dress well, but not too sexy
Look youthful, but not immature
Age gracefully, but never look old
The Emotion Edition
How it's perceived:
His anger is justified → Her anger is hysteria
His sadness is deep → Her sadness is dramatic
His stress is from hard work → Her stress is from "not coping"
His excitement is enthusiasm → Her excitement is over-the-top
His concerns are valid → Her concerns are paranoid
His anxiety is pressure → Her anxiety is weakness
The Family Chronicles
The never-ending judgment:
He's babysitting → She's just parenting
He's helping around the house → She's doing her job
He's focused on work → She's neglecting family
He needs time to himself → She's selfish
He's weighing his options → She's wasting time
He's figuring out what he wants → Her clock is ticking
The Office Politics
Things I'm tired of seeing:
Men get mentored → Women get hit on
Men network → Women "sleep their way up"
Men are busy → Women "can't handle it"
Men are thorough → Women are perfectionists
Men delegate → Women are lazy
Men need work-life balance → Women are uncommitted
The Social Scene
The ridiculous expectations:
Be fun but not too wild
Be social but not too friendly
Be smart but not intimidating
Be successful but not threatening
Be independent but not difficult
Be strong but still need help
Be confident but still humble
The Success Paradox
What we're dealing with:
Be ambitious but not threatening
Lead but don't be bossy
Achieve but don't outshine
Negotiate but don't be demanding
Succeed but stay likeable
Excel but remain modest
Win but make it look effortless
The Reality Check
What this actually means for us:
Constant second-guessing
Walking on eggshells
Energy drain from overthinking
Imposter syndrome
Reduced authenticity
Limited self-expression
Unnecessary stress
The Way Forward
What we can do about it:
Call it out
Name the double standard
Question the logic
Point out the inconsistency
Support other women
2. Break the patterns
Reject unfair labels
Define success personally
Set our own standards
Celebrate authenticity
3. Change the narrative
Share success stories
Highlight achievements
Create new networks
Mentor others
To Every Woman Dealing With This
Remember:
You're not "too much"
Your achievements are earned
Your feelings are valid
Your ambitions are worthy
Your standards are important
Your voice matters
Your path is yours

I think about these comments a lot...how women are just expected to do all the work without getting anything in return. She made something for dinner, don't you think she wanted to have it too?? it's a very small thing but these small things matter a lot in a marriage cause that's a lifelong commitment that you have to uphold every single day of your life.

Stop gender-based censorship.
To allow male chests and censor female chests is an act of misogyny. Simple as that. So let's stop it and start treating everyone with equal respect and dignity, regardless of your gender identity or body type.
🤍Reblogs are appreciated!🤍

I think one of the most horrific things patriarchy has done is pitting women against each other. I grew up hearing the phrase " aik aurat hi aurat ki dushman hoti hai" and sadly majority of women still hold this belief as this has been pushed down our throats for decades. Meanwhile, men follow the "bro code" so strictly that they defend their "boys" even when they're in the wrong.

"Manhood is fundamentally shaped by the patriarchy and cannot be separated from it." What a sad view to have of gender, and one that directly harms trans men and mascs.
Do you realize how close that is to what TERFs believe? I’ve encountered so many of them that go off about how gender is inextricable from patriarchy, only existing to oppress women. That's where the term "gender critical" comes from. They think gender should be abolished entirely instead instead of preserving what brings people comfort and euphoria. They see trans people transitioning as inherently upholding patriarchy, including believing that trans men are just oppressed girls betraying their sisters by trying to move up in the gender hierarchy.
Gender has existed without patriarchy and it will again. I'm sorry to tell you this, but by saying the two are inextricable you are letting colonizers win. My ancestors lived in a matriarchy before being colonized by Spain and inundated with Catholicism--yet we still had gender roles, ones in which women were respected and had power. We certainly were not unique for that.
What happened to "smash the patriarchy"? Please don't just accept that this is the way of the world, that to be a woman means to be a victim and to be a man means to be an oppressor. My masculinity is queer, not gender-conforming. I resist the patriarchy by my very existence, as do other trans men and mascs. If you want to be inclusive and supportive of all trans people, you're going to have to expand your view of gender beyond what the patriarchy has taught you.
#to be clear. I'm not saying we should all return to matriarchy. I think all genders should have equal power.#but it should be noted that there are still some matriarchal societies today. I can't speak on them though--only my own culture & history#racism is involved here especially when it comes to TERFs. this tends to be a really white or at least western view of things :/#I feel so unseen when people insist that my gender HAS to be part of the system that white people have imposed on me#transandrophobia#intersectional feminism#transfeminism
