#kill the patriarchy

And then she validates him as a whole separate being because he deserves to be and to find out who he is without her. And also because she doesn't want an accessory she doesn't want to be one either.

Doesn't seem to matter what I do I'm always number two. I'm just Ken.

It is amazing how the "people that love and uplift transwomen" website will instantly fucking maul a transwoman if she even remotely insinuate that using radfem rhetoric harms trans people

It's pro-patriarchy

You could have posted this stat for the past 40 years. The Church has the sexual predators.

Child abuse is rooted in patriarchal structures.

so, as i said before FUCK boudicca philtrum in particular. no one will mourn you, you crusty ho.

but also k getting majorly injured and the first thing out of their mouth is telling lemli that they have to lie and tell evan that they're fine. broken ribs, flat on their back, blood coming out of their mouth, knowing what evan will do and k trying to stop a thing that has already happened in the time it took for them to land.

did k ever see evan kill anybody while they were together? i know we're down with murder because fantasy but also, we all agree it's not great for evan's mental health to do a murder, right? and i really don't agree that it's love for k motivating him to kill because k doesn't want that for him. evan killed philtrum because philtrum needed killing and he has assigned himself that role. he would have taken her out, potentially nonlethally, as soon as they saw her if it weren't for their directive from dr. boodle. i think k is entirely incidental to his motivation, tbh. he goes cold when he goes into his shadow. i don't think what he's feeling in that space is anything that i (or bell hooks) would call a love ethic.

Know who needs to be killed? THE PATRIARCHY

When women kill an abusive husband they can be charged with murder and I don't understand why

If you look closely at any "happy" marriage that exists, you will observe it involves the woman having made significant compromises against her individuality and freedom (while the man remains the same)

WELCOME TO THE CLUB RHAENYRA

[dykerikki]

the fact that the birthing cabin isnt a new location even this season like thats somewhere devon thought was trustworthy enough to have her baby. she went wandering around the cabins alone, they did all that last season like just. this exploitation is happening in places that are normal, places you have been, places you have liked. ohhhh my god.

Biblically accurate non defanged Alicent Hightower and Rhaenyra Targaryen btw

Penelope having to write about herself in Whistledown is actually peak Serena Joy effect and that's why I did not feel bad for her at all

You’re doing great Nicholas!

The Patriarchy doesn't get to choose when a fetus is a person and when it's not!

maybe im overthinking, but do you ever think abt how in episode 1, utena justifies wearing the boys uniform by saying its not against the rules? while this was clearly a "gotcha" moment against that stuffy teacher, i feel like it also shows how shes still functioning within the parameters of the ohtori system. like, yeah, shes being rebellious, but its a form of rebellion that isnt actually revolutionary- shes still following the rules propagating the structure built around the patriarchal prince, shes just doing it in the "opposite" way of whats expected, but shes not actually fighting it. though, of course, even this much deviance still tries to get corrected... its still not against the rules. i feel like from the beginning we're told aspiring to princedom isn't a noble goal, and that utena is still part of the system as long as she pursues it
