#ridiculous gendering

This is maybe the funniest (worst) radfem post I've come across in a while. It was a comment about cis women getting hysterectomies.

Do y'all know how many feminists have been fighting to be allowed to get hysterectomies without a) birthing (often multiple) children or b) a husband's permission? Including many people who have extremely painful and/or dangerous uterus-related conditions, like PCOS or menorrhagia? So many doctors HATE giving hysterectomies specifically because "you really should have kids first".

Also, cis men don't need to "remove their ballsack" to avoid having kids. They get vasectomies. An incredibly simple, routine procedure.

People who are getting hysterectomies are often doing so for reasons not solely related to pregnancy - if it were just about fertility, getting your tubes tied would suffice if you were averse to other forms of birth control. My mum did that after my sister was born, and then went back in for a hysterectomy a few years later because her periods were agonising. My aunty also had a hysto several years back, because not only were her periods agonising, but they would cause flare ups in some of her other conditions.

I just... how are you calling yourself a feminist while advocating for LESS bodily autonomy for women? How can you act like women are being stupid or reckless in their choice to get a hysto and not see the indescribable misogyny you're utilising?

"It's never [cis] men who remove an organ just because they don't want it" yeah, I wonder if that's because they don't have an organ that causes agonising blood loss on a monthly basis? Like... nobody's out here getting kidneys removed for fun. It's a very specific organ only being removed for very specific, personal reasons.

It's my body, not yours. Hands the fuck off.

I like the general fandom trend to just take the plot of Hyrule Warriors as a loose guideline at best and just use the whole concept as a good excuse to get blorbos to interact across timelines, BUT I'm very disappointed that everyone is missing the comedic potential of a very specific squad of characters:

Young Link (aka Mask), who walks out of the nightmare of Majora's Mask and immediately gets portal kidnapped into a temporal war, takes one look at the whole mess and decides that you could not fucking pay him to admit to being the resident expert on Time Shenanigans. He introduces himself with the title of Hero of Termina, and definitely doesn't have any other ones, that would be crazy. Hero of Time? Never heard of him.

Tetra, who is a kickass pirate captain with zero patience for people trying to shove her into the Designated Princess role, and realizes immediately that Oh Fuck, this Hyrule has a lot of Ideas about how the Hero and the Princess are supposed to properly play their parts, the second they realize she's technically a Zelda they're gonna shove her in a goddamn dress and damsel her again, that's not happening. So she's definitely just a really cool pirate captain, nothing else going on here at all, definitely not the heir of the Hylian royal family in her time, that'd be crazy.

Ravio, who is literally just a palette swapped Link, meaning that the second his hood comes off, things are gonna get Awkward. There's no way in hell he's dealing with all that Hero baggage, that's Link work, so that giant bunny hood/mask is practically superglued to his head, and he's not taking it off for love or money.

Spirit Tracks Zelda, who is just in the Phantom Armour the whole time, and passing herself off as just a friendly ghost posessing a suit of armour to help the Hero of Spirits. Of course she isn't Princess Zelda, that's ridiculous, if she were a Zelda then people would start getting really weird about her technically being dead, and boy does that ever sound like a whole Thing she doesn't want to deal with, so she can't possibly be Zelda, she's just a nice ghost knight. Also, her teenage grandma is here, and that's kinda weird, so it's easier to just not admit to being royalty and avoid that awkward conversation.

Finally there's Sheik, who is not the Princess Zelda of the era straight up abandoning her war torn country for months at a time so she can risk her life in extreme cosplay for no clear reason, but is instead the actual Sheik from Ocarina of Time, who just beat Ganondorf like a month ago and is still trying to process what the fuck to do now. Also, he's been pretending to be a boy since he was ten, and is realizing there's a pretty good chance that he isn't pretending anymore, so that's a whole other can of worms. But for the last seven years of his life, being Princess Zelda meant certain death, so he's not really inclined to introduce himself like when in a new and stressful situation (not to mention he might actually just not be a girl named Zelda anymore), so he automatically introduces himself as just Sheik the spooky ninja man, and fuck he's in too deep to back out now, looks like he's committing to the bit. If you think you sense the Triforce of Wisdom on him, no you don't.

Cue shenanigans as the five of them attempt to hide that they're all actually kind of A Big Deal. The group motto is "Nobody says shit", which is usually delivered as a frantic hiss whenever someone slips up. Just the reunion between Sheik and Mask alone would be absolutely buckwild given how they parted, and how they're both frantically pretending to Not be involved with each other. For added hilarity and/or drama, Sheik gives his semi-bullshit cover story of having just been a friend of the Hero of Time, then runs into said Hero of Time and they both have to desperately pretend not to know each other, because if anyone picks up on the mountain of baggage between them then Mask is busted, and he won't hesitate to drag Sheik down with him out of sheer spite. Not to mention the weird balance of Sheik being used to this Link being a teenager that's actually a small child, and now has to adjust to Link who is a small child that's actually a teenager.

Also, i really feel like we're all missing out on the comedy potential of Ganondorf recognizing Young Link on sight and the two of them immediately launching into a grudge match with some extremely personal and specific insults on both sides. Meanwhile literally everybody else is just standing there watching, trying to process the fact that out of every single person that's been pulled out of time, Ganondorf only has personal beef with a literal nine year old.

I just feel like we're all really sleeping on the potential for Shenanigans here. The whole thing is an absurd mess, why not have some fun with it?

I’m tired of hearing that newly-out trans identified males must be given patience, understanding, and unconditional support while they work through the awkward stages of “figuring out how to be a girl”. Because actual girls are not afforded this privilege. There is nothing a teen girl could do to avoid mockery. There is no grace afforded to a teenage girl, so why should it be afforded to men who want to mimic her experience? Why should a man be allowed to have an awkward “girlhood”, when girls aren’t ever allowed the same?

It kind of unnerves me when I see greens speak of Aegon as if he’s a precious, fun loving fratty momma’s boy when he’s actually just a gluttonous rapist. I get liking characters for complexity but genuinely what do you like about a rapist.

Rhaenyra gets a lot of criticism as a character, some of which are valid. She is a hothead. She is irresponsible. She is at times bloodthirsty. But for all that criticism I see greens give for Rhaenyra, I hardly see towards Aegon. They’re two sides of the same coin (except not really because Rhaenyra never had any 12 year old paramours). However, only one gets considered unworthy of their father’s heritage.

Rhaenyra can’t have bastards because god forbid a woman have sex out of wedlock. But Aegon can use his own out of wedlock children in violent forms human entertainment. And if having bastards is enough to disqualify someone from being the ruling monarch, Aegon and Aemond shouldn’t rule either right? But of course, for some “obviously non-gender related reason” Aegon can rule while Rhaenyra can’t.

Aegon is praised and loved for the same reasons Rhaenyra is not. Aegon is also a hothead and irresponsible. Aegon is also shown to have his own bloodlust. However Aegon not showing any full interest in his responsibilities as king is seen as fun and playful while with Rhaenyra it’s childish.

Even down to very appearance Rhaenyra is criticized more. Rhaenyra gets tons of fatshaming posts making crude remarks on her gained weight but Aegon and his wife get fuck all. At least Rhaenyra has her six pregnancies as an excuse, what excuse does Aegon get for being a fatass?

It isn’t about gender until it is. It’s about liking complexity and flaw in characters until it isn’t.

⚠️Rant⚠️

I’m so tired of seeing “dom Lucifer”, “top Lucifer”, and “daddy Dom Lucifer” Is he just not allowed to bottom?

Is he not allowed to feel like an ant under MC? Is he not allowed to grovel at MC’s feet and BEG for them to have their way with him? Is he not allowed to be submissive? Is he not allowed to be at MC’s mercy? Is he not allowed to be dominated? Is he not allowed to scream out MC’s name from pure overstimulation? Is he not allowed to be a slut for MC? Is he not allowed to be a brat for MC? Is he not allowed to be a whore for MC? Is he not allowed to beg for mercy? Is he not allowed to beg?

This man is clearly not just a “dom”. He can bottom, too. Just give him a chance and let him. Maybe he gets too tired and doesn’t want to do all the work for once.

I’m looking at the ones who always write gender neutral MC’s as bottoms. Maybe some people want to see more top gn MC.

Don’t be basic. Consider both sides. Look at your recent posts and think to yourself: Are they inclusive?

Let. This. Man. Bottom. For. Once.

daily reminder that just because the outsiders is a male centric production does not give you the right to catcall the actors-harassment should be treated the same regardless of gender because i KNOW if jt was men went to six or suffs and catcalled the actresses then it would be dealt with. it is beyond PUTRID that the fact that this harassment and inappropriate behavior has not been dealt with likely because it’s men being catcalled by women. And to the people DEFENDING this type of shit by saying it’s okay because the men are “asking for it” or “it’s okay because they’re attractive” i hope you rot in hell. This is vile behavior. Women catcalling men should be treated the same as a man catcalling a. woman and I am SO fucking sick of seeing these stories where people are now YELLING STUFF AT THE ACTUAL DAMN SHOW and disrupting the people around them?! Grown ass women too?! a what the actual fuck?!

I’m gonna cut it here because I’m so mad rn but actors are people and you have to treat them like the people they are instead of some animals to be observed. Get over yourselves. All those people ate disgusting excuses for human beings because at some point it borders sexual harassment and the double standard makes me sick. if this happened at six or suffs or any female centric play it would be properly dealt with. and the fact that this is an ongoing issue and has gotten so bad they’ve considered shutting stage door is beyond vile and i cannot even give it the proper words to express how despicable it is. Be nice to the actors. Don’t take advantage of an actors kindness. Do not treat an actor like a spectacle. They’re normal people.

This fandom is fucking gross. Get over yourselves.

A Healing Hand, A Healed Heart

Adam Warlock x GN!Reader

Description: You're hurt, and on the battlefield, there's only one healer you can trust. But perhaps there's more than just trust between you two?

Warnings: Injuries, but no real gore.

A/N: Yeah so uh... I've been playing Marvel Rivals and I cannot stop staring at the perfection that is this man. Please enjoy this quick one-shot that I needed to get out of my head <3

Word Count: <1k

You were hurt. It wasn’t anything life-threatening, but you couldn’t have guessed that from the look in his blank white stare. Just a few broken ribs, maybe more than a few shallow yet stinging lacerations. But Adam was the closest one to you, and you didn’t trust anyone else’s healing quite as much as you trusted his.

No words were needed once he saw you. He was quick to usher you into the temporary safety of one of the many abandoned buildings nearby. There was an urgency in his gaze that almost had you feeling bad for getting hurt in the first place. For his sake, you do your best to grit your teeth and brace yourself against the pain.

Gentle touches of his golden fingertips hover just over your body, almost as though he were scanning you for the worst of it. His brows knit together, focused as he was on treating you, and you felt your facial features soften for just a moment as you admired the golden man. Then there was a searing jolt of pain in your ribs, drawing out a sharp cry from your throat. The sound almost seemed to hurt him physically, causing him to pull back and wince, though he is quick to steel himself and return to the task at hand.

“You do not have to hide the pain, you know,” he finally speaks softly, beginning the healing process with a simple snap of his fingers. Air almost seems to rush into your lungs as you gasp at the feeling. A golden hand rests on your shoulder, holding you steady so as not to worsen any of your healing wounds. “Though… your concern is touching.”

Ah, right. He often could sense the overwhelming thoughts and emotions that pervade one’s mind. A warmth creeps up your cheeks, and you avert your gaze.

“Adam, I…”

“It is my duty. Besides, I do not mind healing you.”

In a gentler tone, he adds, “I could never abandon you when you are hurt.”

His golden hair flows perfectly, much like the rest of him, as his head turns to the side. It was a simple confession, not even particularly romantic, and yet he seems simultaneously vulnerable and withdrawn after speaking it.

Something in you is drawn to him then, reaching out your now uninjured hands to cup his face. It is his turn to be surprised once again, caught off guard as his milky white eyes widen. Golden lips part slightly as though he were ready to speak, but there is only silence. The sounds of the continuing battle echo in the distance but quickly fade around you. 

“You’re too good to me, you know that?” you whisper softly, the pads of your thumbs brushing delicately across his cheekbones.

If it were possible, you’re fairly certain those golden cheeks would be blushing.

“I-It is… I am simply… I just…”

Words seem to fail him then, and a shuddery breath escapes him. He blinks then, noticing a cut on your cheek. Though he need only snap his fingers, instead he reaches up a hand of his own. He mimics your motion, brushing his thumb across the tiny injury and watching as the flesh stitches itself together under his touch. It’s so intimate, so soothing, and you feel your eyes flutter shut, pressing your cheek further into his hand. When you open them again, you find him staring openly at you, his mouth ever so slightly agape. Having been caught, he clears his throat behind his fist and tries to look away, but your hands keep his head in place, forcing him to look at you.

“Adam…?”

“Forgive me. You are simply…” He huffs a bit, finding annoyance in his inability to find the right words. “I think I quite enjoy looking at you,” he finally admits while his eyes avoid your gaze.

A warm chortle reverberates in your chest. Leaning forward, you press your forehead to his, sliding your hands down his jawline until they come to rest, wrapped behind his neck. During all of this he remains still and unsure. He doesn’t seem to mind your affections at all, but it’s clear that it’s not something he is used to receiving.

Finally, he lowers his hands, placing them gently on either side of your waist. You can feel any lingering soreness in your ribs fade at his healing, tender touch, and it brings a contented sigh to your lips. And, when you look at his face once more, it’s clear that those lips have captivated his attention. Mostly.

“We… we should return to the battle. The others-”

But you would have none of that. Not, at least, until you had done something you had been waiting for what felt like eons to do. Tilting your head to the side, you interrupt his words by pressing your lips softly against his. It’s sweet, chaste, and all too quick, but you do everything you can to pour the warmth of your very soul into it. It’s clear that he senses it with the way he inhales sharply through his nose. His grip on your waist tightens almost painfully as though he’s afraid of ever letting you go.

His eyes are half-lidded and unfocused when you pull away, and you can practically hear the way his heartbeat drums in his chest.

“You’re right. We should probably head back, shouldn’t we?” you echo with a coy smirk tugging at your lips.

Gods, but you were going to be the death of him.

the muddying up of language for the intent of inclusivity that only makes things worse has gotta be one of my biggest pet peeves ever just say what you mean and stop jumping through 20 hoops to say the same goddamn thing i'm gonna lose it

[hard--headed--woman]

sorry but the way all of tumblr is currently crying, whining, screaming genocide and human rights violation and threatening everyone because some dude's blog has been deleted is just so fucking funny. you people have no real problems and no life outside of the internet it's hilarious

[greenbergsays]

My great aunt came down to spend the night with us so she could go to the Teenager's graduation party tomorrow and I don't know if you've argued with a Boomer lately about pronouns, gender identity/expression, or gender vs sex but it really is like talking to a toddler throwing a tantrum

"what about me? what about what I want, what about what I think? Why do THEY get what they want and I don't??? Why do they have more rights than I do??"

And honestly, I can't even make an eloquent argument because for me it's instinctive that, like.

It costs me nothing, it's not hurting anyone, so who cares if I agree or disagree? There are tons of neo-pronouns that I don't "get" but any time I come across something like that, I just shrug and say, "you do you, boo boo" and then go about my day

I've never understood why the older generation can't do the same. That dude with his nails painted pink is not a problem unless he's actively trying to harm you and at that point, the nails has nothing to do with it

the other day i was explaining to my bf how i don't mind "genderbent" merlin art if it's not annoyingly heterosexual because she's transfem to me but "genderbent" arthur art just feels so very unrealistic. if he was born a girl he would just transition to be honest... people will try to do genderbending but "trans positive" by just saying it's lesbian merthur but then they're both conventionally feminine cis women and truly i don't think that works with their characters... merlin who defies every boundary and societal norm? arthur pendragon? arthur would never be a cis woman he would just transition sorry...

actually hold on. arthur is assumed to be a "tomboy" crossdresser and he pretty much only takes on the role of a princess when his father expects it. considered a harmless fancy. gets to the point where everyone even his knights call him prince arthur but as a "joke" because of how masculine he is. merlin gets assigned as the princess' maidservant and eventually arthur is like Merlin... you must understand... this isn't playing dress up, to me. this is who i am. and merlin's like Ohhh Okay. Lol. Me Too it's okay i get it. and then she walks away and it takes arthur days to realize that merlin was implying she's transfem

there's your yuri merthur if it was awesome and transgender. butch transmasc he/him lesbian arthur and genderfluid trans girl merlin. love wins!

my favorite quote from the the star beast wasn’t any of the emotional doctor speeches or the analysis of queer identity, it was “I AM THE BEEP OF ALL MEEPS!”

[mollysunder]

S2 really has me thinking about the gender dynamics in the main timeline. Jinx was raised by Silco, and in his home was the strongest influences on him and Zaun were the women in his life, Jinx and Sevika, who in turn are the most important women in Zaun. In Silco's absence, Jinx, Sevika, and Isha form a new unit (sort of) that grapples with the deteriorating situation in Zaun.

Then we see Powder in the better timeline, and her home is visually dominated by men. Vi's dead and Sevika's nowhere to be seen, but every possible male influence in her life is alive and she's mostly thriving.

This was 100% unintentional by the show and 1000% hilarious to me.
