#protect young girls

Queerphobia, Misogyny and Racism being alive in the 21st century really boggles my mind. Some people are mentally living in the 19th century.

I’m for sure going to be labelled as a “baby hater” or sum ish for saying this, but…

When a little boy hurts a little girl for fun, it’s not just bullying, it’s an early form of misogyny. Often, it’s labelled “he’s just being a boy”. I for sure will get reactions “but they’re KIDS! You can’t call it misogyny!” Yeah, they’re kids. So, what you as an adult should do? Educate them.

Why am I saying this? The little girl can be upset if this is the first time it happens to her, but, she’s just that, a child. She can’t do much about the situation unless she’s really physically stronger than the boy. There are two ways this can go:

1) Tell her the typical bullshit like “he just likes you”, “that’s normal, boys are like that” while letting the boy misbehave while thinking that it’s cute instead of holding him accountable for his actions. This way, you’re making the girl grow up faster while letting the boy stay immature and uneducated. It’s her first encounter with misogyny - a boy having fun is more important than her discomfort.

2) You actually acknowledge her discomfort and validate it, understanding why she feels that way, WHILE putting the boy in his place. By putting him in his place, I don’t mean spanking him till he can’t sit down, if you plan to accuse me of that. It can range from something as simple as telling him that this is not how good people act, that this behaviour is unacceptable. If it doesn’t work, (which, btw, signifies that the kids don’t see you as an authority, and you should take care of that) then apply adequate punishment.

You can’t expect a grown male to understand respect when his entire growing up he was shown that it is okay to disrespect his female peers. Teach your sons that girls aren’t here to be “living toys” for him.

I’m not advocating for babying grown ass men. I’m advocating for making sure young girls and teens are able to grow up in a safe space.

If the bullying is sex-based and the girl has a harder time communicating her discomfort mostly due to the ignorance of adults who are supposed to be responsible, it is already misogyny. Age does not matter.

"not all men" but not in a men's rights way, in a "it's important to remember that men aren't the only perpetrators of cruelty, abuse, and evil and that subconsciously or consciously training yourself to view men as inherently evil and everyone else as inherently safe inadvertently puts you in a position where you're both vulnerable to attack or harm from people you otherwise wouldn't suspect, AND causes you to limit the number of allies you might have in a time of need" kind of way.

Crack Au in which Sadnesses stay after the King’s Defeat, and one attacks the Mailman delivering the letters from the Party to Pétronille, causing all but one to be destroyed, and the surviving one to get damaged and become mostly unreadable.

So after the Mailman is saved, Pétronille gets a damaged letter from someone named “Madame” who has her sibling and is coming by in about 3 weeks.

Pétronille, not having any other context, assumes that this is a ransom note and spends the next three weeks trying her best to figure out what Madame wants and get as much money as she can to try to appease the person (mob boss? Mafia? Criminal Mastermind?) that kidnapped her sibling.

Edit: Pronoun Check. Thank you guys!

Damn, I really thought I was about to make some crazy observation here and connect the dots that Hercules was the one who gave Cassie the costume she ends up using for her Titans of Tomorrow Evil Arc, but alas, DC in 2007 was simply not on my level

Muse of Violence, Warrior of Science.

To the ordinary, everyday genius scientist-for-hire with a heart too big for her own good, we raise our sake cups.

You gave us food. You tried to protect us. You gave your life to ensure we'd all live on. Just lending a hand.

You knew it would end like this. We all knew it would end like this, and yet you still did it. And you did it to protect the friends you had made and the family you had left. And you did it all on your own terms, smiling all the way to the afterlife, knowing your will would be inherited by those you saved.

Clone or Machine or Satellite or Daughter. It matters not what you were. Because you went out like a true member of those who carry the will of D.

Thanks for everything, Atlas. For a satellite representing rage and violence, you had the biggest heart of any of them.
