girl math is trying to remember the last time you took ibuprofen to figure out whether or not it’s safe for you to take more

allowing myself to sit before i get into packing again proper and i'm talking out loud because i'm alone in the apartment and that's just what happens when i'm existing in general and i go.

"we're allowed to sit, because we're going to sit in a wholesome and god-honoring way." i don't know why i said this. nothing i do when i sit down at my computer is wholesome *or* god-honoring. but like. whatever boats your float i guess.

thing is that gender essentialism is *still* not good even when it isn’t (overtly) bio-essentialist

The series is an excellent idea but when considering how expensive his clothes are, we must consider that he wears the same damn things every fucking day so the cost per wear is low as hell

it's especially worrying when someone is a trans woman and their formative, intimate exposure to how to be a woman, for reasons of their personal safety, is fully online. i have a friend whose reaction to a traumatic religious upbringing was to try to become this sort of woman she heard about on the internet, who never has any sort of problems, a gender transition goal she thought was both normal for her to want and possible for her to achieve.

It is genuine hell on our friendship. the behaviours and heel-digging opinions the doing girl math rolling girl joints comment industrial complex has wrought on this poor girl are extremely annoying even to me, who super gets it; in real life nobody wants to be around her, and from a purely loving and emotionally intimate place in my heart I completely get why. but she isn't ready to hear it. hearing it would require her to confront why the idea of being less than fully human so deeply appeals to her.

she's parroting an anime girl concept of gender performance as shown to her through weird incel readings of the literal text of the torah, 4chan, and quirky little blogs about coquette fashion, and the resulting soup of an entity is a thermonuclear hazard to my sanity. i have ceased to talk theology with her. we discuss strictly the sacred realm of numbers, and in my soul i am afraid.

not only does she fully believe the endgame of making it as a woman entails laying around and doodling girl equations in a journal with gel pens all day, but she also snapped at me for trying to teach her "scary things", such as "if you need to go anywhere alone at night or in a dangerous area, you have to walk with purpose and keep your back straight". "It's too complicated, I just want to be a cute girl people like". That's it! That's how! Cute girls people like carry keys in their fist in public! That's not up for any sort of quasi Shapiroan contention, it's just literally true!

this kind of hashtag funny hashtag girlposting gives young isolated trans women atomic brain rot that makes them completely insufferable, because they have few to no real counterbalances to this specific anodyne, objectifying, you-can-just-give-up-completely-and-people-will-love-you-for-being-decorative lie about how easy breezy beautiful it can be, inhabiting that gender. and then they actually do it and the euphoria is real and all of that, the chromosome stuff starts mathing, but their loved ones get to watch the social shit crash their mental OS in real time.

i love this person and i have to watch her deteriorate as she gets out more, as she's more and more exposed to evidence that being a woman is still being a human, with difficulties and challenges in life. she will grow into it eventually, but the process of that socialization doesn't need to be as traumatic and abrupt as it is.

and this isn't just a trans girl issue, it affects young teen cis girls in much the same gender-forming way -- think of all the years of serious, committed study in passionately beloved intellectual fields that everyone collectively is losing to petgirl girlmath coquette brainrot, and things get a little scary.

women are people. there is no gender you can perform to opt out of being people, with people things to do and people interests and the people intellectual urge to be treated like an adult. some people are good at crunching numbers and some people are bad; some people are eloquent and some people are awkward. they are all people. all people barring those with certain highly specific disabilities can learn to freehand a straight line, balance an equation, change a diaper, have an emotionally honest conversation, make a budget, make investment decisions and count their own fucking money!!! "Ooh but girls do it while being pink and cute and quirky and" Oh my Gd ENOUGH. enough already. Let the people be as pink and cute and quirky as they want without dragging bio- and gender-essentialism into it! Let those same people pioneer new frontiers in astrophysics! Treat them as the humans they are!

saw someone refer to not knowing how to keep track of your money as "girl math" ......why are we in this weird era of treating women like idiots but repackaging it to sound cute and quirky. We All Need To Stop

#I feel like he saw people online talking about hashtag girlmath and went ''no this makes sense actually'' #then proceeded to drop several thousand dollars on alt clothing (largely from women's departments)

it is also autistic math imo . someone told him the whole "good quality clothes are an investment" thing and he took that so seriously to mean that he only needs one outfit

i think im gonna make a little series of posts because i semi-regularly get possessed with finding out what darby is wearing and i want to drag him with how much his clothes cost
