[tfem-confessions]

I confess that I constantly see cis women every day who could 100% pass as trans women. Shoulders larger than hips, adams apples, receding hairlines, hairy arms, huge hands, everything. If they had deeper voices, I'd assume they're just like me.

It just... idk it makes me so happy. I get caught up in dysphoria sometimes that I forget that most if not all beauty standards are bullshit. Letting the upper class define womanhood was a mistake.

Omg this is so real! The definition of 'woman' is so stupid euro-centric and so clearly defined by unattainable and misogynistic beauty standards.

We've gotten so used to airbrushed, filtered, edited versions of what the human body should look like that we all sturggle to fit into it. And its important to remember (especially for trans women) that these ideals are bullshit.

Human Women have Variation!

Using the word hilarious certainly is a …. choice. But besides that, this graph is absolutely devastating

No one talks about the female loneliness epidemic that has gone on for millenia.

Men have been disrespecting women's safe spaces since the beginning of time.

Idk who this loser is but he needs the Nick Fuentes treatment immediately.

This just shows that most men don’t see us as people, just bitches they can look at for their own pleasure. Just look at the likes, that’s everyone agreeing with him.

This also shows that no woman is safe from misogyny, and no woman is ever good enough for these misogynists. Fat or unattractive women are shamed for their appearance, and attractive women are called hoes. You’ll never be seen as an equal no matter what you look like.

hot tiktok tradwife: I don’t want to work I just want to labor and gruel all hours of my life to care for children my husband doesn’t help with, and a house my husband does no chores for! I love cooking and cleaning at all hours of the day from scratch!!! especially when my kids do not sleep and my husband doesn’t wake up to help me and I’m also sick and haven’t slept! I love how this isn’t work! But sitting at an office for 8 hours in air conditioner with comparatively minimal responsibilities and coming home with a livable wage is work!!!

I just saw a video of a woman who went on a date and the first thing the man said was “you have a lot of grey hair”. And she’s in her thirties.

Not to virtue signal but I didn’t notice. And ALSO I LOVE GREY HAIR. Literally. I know you have to care for your hair differently, but one of the things I’m excited for when I grow older is grey hair. My hair is down to my butt atm.

I love haircare and one thing I love about TikTok is when I look up haircare stuff I not only learn about my straight hair but women who have all types of curly hair, hair type 1A to 4C I love it.

Anyway I hate the way women are shamed for showing aging and NORMAL BODIES of all ages. And that society demonises signs of aging and panders every “miracle anti aging creams” in fact now that I think about it, even when I was a kid and saw people using anti aging creams products I was a bit confused.

I was literally thinking as I read this what in the brain rot is this shit and then I saw OPs blog 🫡

[ciderjacks]

There is literally nothing more pathetic and embarrassing than queer mras. I really mean that. literally there is nothing that I find more full-body cringe inducing. Queer people who hate women and praise cisgender men are so fucking pathetic and horrible and I hate them more than I hate regular misogynists.

my hot take is that certain shows do need to understand that oppression isn't solely poor and rich but goes deeper.

"Our piece of media doesn't have bigoted views like homophobia, misogyny, etc."

ok but do you understand how delicately those work together in oppression? how it is connected?

I am not saying every piece of media needs this kind of deepness and I also want to be able to engage without having to see ugly shit. but I fear if you want your media to be about classism and oppression like Arcane does and try to say how well you did it, and how deep it is and yet you only do surface level shit??? yeah you failed.

my second hot take is that Arcane needed to add stuff like this, say what you want.

My last hot take is Arcane season 2 failed because they didn't understand how oppression and class actually works, did they ever hear of the word intersectionality or is that news for them? The fact that they never reached deeper than "rich and poor" is a red flag I do not care.

I'm appalled by the way Vivziepop stans are treating Octavia for setting boundaries between her and Stolas. What really upsets me the most about it, I was in a similar situation as Octavia when I was younger. My father acted the same way Stolas did (minus the cheating) and put his girlfriend and her kids over my brother and I. He would do everything he could to not see my brother and I on the days that were supposed to be his visitation days.

The misogyny radiating from both Vivziepop and her fans makes me extremely uncomfortable. And it doesn't help that there have been instances on here where stans are invading the anti and critical tags just to harass anyone who makes one small criticism about Hazbin Hotel, Helluva Boss, and Vivziepop as a person and content creator.

I've said this before in another post, and I will say this again in case stans see this post, but I don't care if people watch Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss. And I don't have an issue with people watching the shows. My only concern is those people who take any criticisms about both shows and the creator to heart and attacking anyone who makes those critiques. You could literally say that you wish that certain characters weren't drawn using too many shades of red, and you'll get shit on for it.

The whole "don't like, don't look" mentality needs to be normalized. If stans don't like people critiquing Vivziepop and her work, then they shouldn't be going through the anti and critical tags. They can easily just block antis/critics that come onto their feed and filter out the anti and critical tags. It's so easy to avoid any anti and critical content. But they instead decided to bully and harass anyone who says anything remotely critical.

To end this post (and in case any stan sees this post), I don't go into the regular tags and harass stans. As a matter of fact, I'm not on here often due to my mental health and other offline stuff. I'm also in the process of trying to find a full-time job because working part-time isn't financially supporting me anymore. People watching Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss isn't my main issue. My issue is stans harassing anyone that doesn't like the shows and Vivziepop.

I didn't consciously intend to post about misogyny in fiction more and more recently, but it's got me thinking.

It's depressing how being a woman means most of the fiction I like -- even when it's genuinely well-written, compelling, and personally meaningful; even some of my very favorite fiction of all time -- will not treat women as equals. At best female characters are usually relegated to less-important supporting roles, or at worst they're written with active misogyny (sexist stereotypes, fridging/lost lenore, being harshly punished for mild or non-issues while male characters get away with worse, normalizing gender-based violence, etc). To name just one example, The Hobbit is among the most famous and beloved works of literature despite not including a single female character, a fact that is rarely even brought up when discussing it. Reportedly less than half of the most popular movies from the last 40 years pass the Bechdel test ("do two women talk to each other about something other than a man?") which is such a low bar that even many of the films that do pass are still misogynistic. Misogyny and male predominance in fiction is so common/"normal" that most people don't even notice it unless it's exceptionally severe.

And even if a work of fiction itself doesn't mistreat female characters, its fandom usually will. Fandom misogyny is an especially disturbing pattern since it's often apparent that those people aren't just bad at interpreting fiction -- they're using female characters as a lightning rod to express misogynistic beliefs they actually hold in real life. Take male-on-female domestic abuse for example: I've seen people parrot the very same excuses that are used for victim-blaming in real life ("she disobeyed him and made him mad so she had it coming", "she's unlikable and he's great so why should I care", "actually SHE'S the REAL abuser because she was rude to him one time", etc). I've seen people openly fantasize about canonically abusive male characters murdering their female victims because "she's a total bitch so she deserves it and he deserves a happy ending". Do you think those fans treat real abuse victims any better? It's genuinely spine-chilling to think about.

This post has been sitting in my drafts for over a month because I can't think of a clever way to wrap up these observations into a solid argument or anything. It's just horrible to experience. Goddamn.

It's really simple. If you're born with a vagina and you naturally have elevated testosterone levels, you're a man. If you have a vagina and you take testosterone, you're a woman. But also if you have a vagina, you'll never be a man. But also if you have higher testosterone then you were never a woman. Woman never yes man a vagina testosterone no was an elevated. Vagina man.
