"industry plant" is literally just the new way of saying "this female artist is having a lot of success and I don't like her for it".... like ok well personally I just don't find it that hard to believe that young women can be talented and work hard and achieve things

Can we not just stop birthing men like... women have to stop giving life to men.

I'm doing my part ✌️ and I agree but collectively most women wouldn't. I remember when there was discourse over a radfem having & celebrating giving birth to a baby boy. I've seen radfems praise lesbian couples adopting baby boys.

Tbh a lot of women are sellouts, they sellout other women & even betray themselves for love or having a slightly higher social status in society. When forced to cohabit with predators that have more power & essentially want to reproduce a copy of themselves, women giving them that could elevate or secure their status in society - it's an incentive & many would go for it.

Another thing to consider is that many women birth maIes to spare their lives, there's been cases where maIes would kill their partners & daughters for the woman not having a son (even though the sperm determines the sex). Part of me considers maternal instincts of women not being able to kill their maIe offspring bc that's still their child but then I think of post partum psychosis & cultures where daughters are routinely killed when they're born. If these instincts applied to maIe & female children I dont think things would've gotten this bad. Also a lot of women treat their sons much better than their daughters.

In a patriarchial society, birthing sons lets boymoms live out their power fantasies through their sons. They 'borrow' power from their sons or use their sons as a proxy for power. Like toxic mother in-laws treating their daughter in-laws like shit bc it's through the association that this woman is married to their son, women that cover up their sons sex crimes, in some cultures; boymoms look for women who've undergone FGM for their sons.

Bear in mind so many women still have faith in maIes as a collective, they think they'll raise the "good ones". This notion is popular in feminist spaces, women think they'll magically train & raise maIe allies. There's a saying of how several boymoms have emotional incest with their sons, they see there aren't good maIes in society so they want to create their own one(s).

However I think the biggest issue is that women are never going to be sociopathic or apathetic enough to moids. It would take a high level of apathy to abort maIe fetuses & refuse to birth another xy solely on the basis of their sex, to get to this point you'd need to have this feeling towards maIes generally and most women dont have this. MaIe survival is contentigent on female subjugation, women dont need to subjugate maIes to survive, we carry life, we can also provide for ourselves & maIes know it which is why they've set up societies the way they are and they're brutal about it because they and their bloodlines would be dead anyways if they dont have a system forcing women to rely on them to survive. That said; In the end despite everything, many women still want to partner with maIes, many women still love & believe in maIes. Most women wont disassociate with maIes collectively, catherine mckinnon goes into this in her book "the second sex" where she speaks about how women are scattered everywhere & identify with the tribes maIes put them into as opposed to seeing themselves as a sovereign group.

I personally dont think birthing another oppressor is worth it but people are different. Of course this can (& does) backfire against women but by the time the damage is realised it's too late. Ultimately for a shift in gender ratio & for women to refuse to birth maIes at any cost, they need to think bigger than themselves individually. Think of womankind instead of maIe supremacy & its structures but this will never happen & I wont kid myself otherwise.

why are we not talking more about the Blue Lock TV rankings from vol 22 😭😭

[theinfinitedivides]

there is nothing more beautiful than seeing the full montage of Jun Mo going absolutely batsh*t insane crazy unhinged when he steps foot in that hallway and sees what's going on. just completely gloriously feral out of it kill count going up by the dozens bathed in blood like a kind of baptism or wine of pseudo-Eucharist this is My body and My blood eat (drink) this in remembrance of Me etc etc bc as from his own mouth he says that there is someone he needs to protect. forget acting like the rent was due he acted like it was mortgage backdated student loans credit card bill car payments hospital fees alimony child support you name it he had his bank details ready holy f*ck

[drinkingdeadpeopletea]

and shout-out to weepe's guards! competent enough to move quicker than kozma's people, strong enough to overpower them despite being outnumbered, and seemingly didn't even blink at not just killing other people but at doing it with horrific weaponized tearror-blood. weepe found these guys in the fucking TRUST?

[imjustavenuxwithaboomerang]

not you advertising for me in the tags bye ily 🥹🥹💕

annnnyway some of those fandoms caught my eye so i'm just gonna put descendants, arcane and opla in here pretty please <3

sorry this took me so long i was genuinely freaking out trying to figure out the whole 'best character' part of this and figuring out the formatting gave me more trouble than it should've <333

descendants

favorite character(s): JANELOS MY BELOVEDS. y'all will never make me hate jane. i love her so much, she's an absolute cutie patootie and so so pretty and i support her wrongs solely because fairy godmother should've been a better parent and should've actually helped her. and carlos !! the loml. he's never done anything wrong ever, he also has the best style of the core 4 but that's another discussion for another time. he just needs so many hugs and i'm very sad that he is canonically now dead (even though, ofc i know why and i'm not gonna judge the decision)

are they the best character(s)?: i'm gonna say no and instead say that uma is. she knows what she wants and how to get it and what she wanted wasn't even awful or selfish. she didn't want fairy godmother's wand to cause chaos, she wanted it to free her people and she didn't want to be chosen for auradon for herself and to go crazy, she wanted everyone to go if they wanted so they could have a better life. and amazingly, her goals don't shift over the course of the three movies she's in, she just wants every vk to be someone's priority and to have a voice and a choice (ha that rhymed)

arcane

favorite character(s): hmm probably viktor or ekko. i've been a big viktor fan for a while now (even though i was mad suspicious of him during his s1 introduction but that's not important) and i support his jesus-agenda (also he looks so good in s2 omg). and then with ekko, i loved him from the moment i saw him and wanted to protect young him so bad !! i was very happy when he was revealed to be the firelight leader and really liked his dynamic with heimer in s2. i've never rooted against these two ever (save for that little parentheses up there)

are they the best character(s)?: objectively, no one's really the best character (in my opinion) cause they're all very morally grey save for like some of them but the best written is probably ekko, i'm not even being biased. he's the most consistent character and has angered (meaning due to a completely ooc/very bad and avoidable writing choice) me the least out all of the characters. i know a lot of the characters have been said to have changed in s2 but i feel like ekko really hasn't all that much and any change has been due to events on-screen

one piece live action

favorite character: roronoa "my beautiful beloved" zoro. he's just so pretty and strong and cool and funny. i low-key wanna be him tbh, cause he's everything i wanna be. i love swords and he has three of them so- guys i love zoro so much i'm not even joking (special mention: luffy cause i love him too)

are they the best character?: i don't think so. i think that it might be usopp. i mean he's just such a guy, like such a person, if that makes a lick of sense. he reacts to situations like most people would and he's the most realistic out of all the characters. this is a franchise that does not follow realism though, so that might be a negative for some people...but anyway. i once saw someone say that usopp's the bravest one on the team because being brave is doing things even though you're scared whereas the others have little fear and aren't technically 'brave' and that's just so valid. i also feel like he was the only character who never had a moment that felt different then their previous scenes (like in a personality sense)

thank you so much for the ask :))) i love getting to talk about characters like this
