Yeah every conservative patriarchal household looooooves masculine women and tomboys. There's never been a single right-wing politician screaming "make women feminine again". There definitely aren't whole large religious movements that ban women from wearing fucking pants. No cis woman ever got thrown out of their house for cutting their hair.

Masculinity from people AFAB is tolerated up to a certain point, and that point is different everywhere. I was expected to take it off past a certain age and was punished when I didn't. I'm glad it was so loose for the people around you but I live in conservative nowhere. Please dear God listen to transmascs on this.

The fact that the gender binary is enforced doesn’t mean that masculinity and feminity are equals. Within cis society, feminity is, overall, degrading, while masculinity is empowering.

And yeah, people expected to fill the social role of girl are punished if they don’t follow that. It’s oppositional sexism.

However, the force of traditional sexism is still wielded against, of the two, feminity. I am not saying that masculinity in AFAB people is not punished, I am saying that the same punishment is dealt on AMAB people, on top of the punishment of feminity.

This is why forcefem exists in cisgender society as something degrading, because femninity is seen as inherently negative, which in turns informs the birth of a movement of forcefem as something positive. This isn’t something afforded to forcemasc because masculinity being positive is the wider societal position.

For more on this, please, please go read “Whipping girl, a transsexual woman on sexism and the scapegoating of feminity” by Julia Serano, and do not bug me with this before having done that. Please.

if you're terrified for your country's elections next year because a lot of people seem to think the solution to the government handling an international conflict in an abysmal and deplorable way is to let a group of total monsters who would handle it MUCH worse AND also potentially doom huge swaths of oppressed people at home as well as our entire literal planet get into power, by ignoring the way our deeply flawed but also deeply entrenched system realistically works

clap your hands...?

(I cannot understand trying to stop heinous and unnecessary killing- which disgusts and saddens me, too! how could it not?! -by handing the election to people who want to do even more of that exact thing. the math isn't mathing, as they say)

I don’t get this dichotomy of “do you see them as platonic or romantic”. Yes. I will read a zillion fics of them platonically. I will read a zillion fics of them fucking nasty and/or in love. I will read a zillion fics of them fucking platonically. Free your mind. Nice dichotomy idiot what lies outside it

I think the deleted scene is simply showing you how much Buck is cared for by the people he chose to be in his life, and from someone who craved that care and attention for so long I just think that's neat that Buck has so many people now that do, and idk I'm just happy for him

I wish I was capable of short stories but I fear this new Logan fic is going to be a behemoth

can i be fr for a minute?? sending abuse to people online for holding different views than you is not activism and in fact actively hurts your cause. most people are not extreme in their viewpoints, you can give them a new perspective if you're willing to spend some time explaining shit. if someone is saying something you disagree with and you rush in there to condescend to them and call them disgusting and subhuman and dont even TRY to explain calmly why their views are harmful, they're going to shut you out instantly and double down on their views.

most people are simply genuinely ignorant to the issues they're talking about - they just pick their views up from the news and the world around them and express opinions because that's what every person does. if you run in there and tell them they're scum for it, what then? if someone does that to you, are you going to think "maybe i should do some research" or are you going to think "this person is an asshole, im blocking them." a lot of you think you're activists and then refuse to do any kind of actual WORK to support your cause.

Honestly the empathy sequence makes NMJ kinda strike me as an entitled/abusive parental figure. Maybe I'm just drawing paralels that aren't there, but:

Feeling entitled to JGY's time and attention? He interrupts his conversations with LXC (twice, I think), one of said times because he was eavesdropping on them AND got angry about JGY expressing fear to LXC IN PRIVATE

Not letting JGY explain himself/ not listening when he tries. At the point of the staircase scene NMJ has been poisoned to hell and back by baxia, but I do believe it's not just that. He sees his moral code as absolute certainty and his inflexible nature makes it that he doesn't take well to deviance from that. Aka has to get his way or gets Angry

I think NMJ was an absolute idiot to let JGY ppay clarity for hin after the staircase thing! That draws more into the paralel because abusive people often hurt others and then act like nothing happened, as if their target doesn't have the right to be upset (see again: qi deviating over JGY expressing fear to LXC). NMJ does this to a degree that paints him as almost oblivious imo

I actually do quite like NMJ but he's. So many shades of fucked up, Christ alive

i am going to proceed cautiously here for several reasons, but primarily because:

i have been drawn into the "is nmj an evil abuser" discourse once before on discord (in defence of da-ge, believe it or not) and i Did Not Enjoy It At All, Actually, and

while i think the behaviour described above absolutely qualifies as abusive, nmj's intentions also matter, and i don't think what nmj is trying to do can be boiled down to simply exerting coercive control over jgy. initially on the hejian front when he eavesdrops on meng yao and lan xichen, he wants to help him; the second time he eavesdrops, it's because he straight up views jgy as a threat, and decides to kill him because of it.

imo their dynamic is dysfunctional and toxic and is a powder keg set to explode essentially from the moment nmj sees meng yao killing the jin commander on the langya front, but i think calling it abusive is an over-simplification of what is going on between them.

that said, i do think there is a character in the novel canon who nmj repeatedly tries to exert coercive control over, who is fully and unquestionably under his authority and influence, and who he treats with wildly vacillating levels of either patience or explosive anger depending on the canon point, and that character is nie huaisang.
