"Sex work is work".
Okay, then why not teach it at school?
Why not fight for making it a 50:50 business where men are just as represented and available?
Why not introduce an anti-discrimination policy so customers canāt reject a worker due to their sex? (that would be fun)
Why not cut down unemployed menās unemployment benefits when they reject a job offer from a pimp? (it already happened to women in my country)
Just wondering.

every time someone does āvalyrian culture was more egalitarian than andal cultureā discourse i point to the fact that jaehaerys invented the doctrine of exceptionalism and was an evil misogynistic menace to every woman he knew, how visenya was not the ruler of their house despite being older, and how the vale which is STEEPED in andal culture & chivalry & the seven regularly has their houses ruled by women in a way that almost no other region outside of dorne has ntm having the ONLY ruling lady of a paramount house INCLUDING VALYRIAN AND FIRST MEN HOUSES and also i start shrieking
#āthe incest isnāt inherently abusiveā iām begging you to read a single goddamn thing about real life incest. just one.#like sorry u cannot make the argument that valyria was better than the andals when a valyrian house has never been ruled by a woman pre or#post dance and creganās sons clearly usurped their own nieces in a parallel to alys.#these people are all misogynistic evil freaks but just in slightly different ways.#the ONLY and i mean O N L Y and i say this as a first men apologist here culture that has even *marginal* respect for women is DORNISH#which is IN FACT a mix of both rhoynish and A N D A L culture. they LITERALLY worship the seven in most of dorne. be serious here.#this is not me discoursing iām not actually angry the way i am about the butch femme nyra discourse aksjdjd#i find it hilarious avtually that people say the dance is about valyrian women losing power & assimilating into andal culture.#buddy they didnāt have power before the dance either! and the dance doesnāt just fuck over valyrian women it fucks over LITERALLY ALL WOMEN#EVERY SINGLE WOMAN SUFFERS MORE BECAUSE OF THE DANCE.

it's good this is my only social media and that i've insulated myself from the worst of this place. i'm not watching that video. i understand the value in bearing witness. but for me, it's like this. i know what's been happening to the hostages already, i don't need to be convinced. i don't want to violate them further by watching the beginning of the worst part of their lives and i don't want to be even more secondhand traumatized either. it would make me less, not more, able to do what i can do to be of use to the hostages.
but even more than i'm not watching that video, i'm not watching the absolutely psychopathic response to it by the mobs who are indulging in an orgy of probably the two oldest forms of hatred in the world--misogyny and antisemitism.
when i heard this video would be released, i had that impulse to hope that maybe now my former friends and community would finally get it. but it's not the case. we've all known this whole time. there's been no mystery about what kind of violence the go-pro wearing terrorists are perpetrating. we've already seen enough to know, even without seeking it out. journalists have described it thoroughly as well. if someone says they need to see something more explicit for "proof," they're nothing but consumers of terrorist torture porn. it's pure ×ØÖ·×¢
i'm not even going to try writing any appeals about these womens' humanity because anyone who doesn't get it, that's because they don't want to get it and they probably never will. they're getting off on this dehumanizing violence and trying to join it as part of the virtual mob. they're empty people and they are not going to change.
we are looking directly at this hate, some of us for the first time, and it's a window through time, through which we can see what many generations of Jews, and particularly Jewish women, have seen before. the violence and hatred is unchanging. only the technology of the violence has changed. the violence itself has not. the hatred has not. we know more about every previous age now, more about how our ancestors' hearts felt when they were breaking, the fear and anger, the determination to survive and make something better.
it's unbearable to know how outnumbered we are, how much of the world is morally and ethically dead when it comes to us, and how many of them accept, deny, are indifferent to, or celebrate this violence against us. it always has been unbearable, untenable, and yet we're here: the latest in a long line of generations who move forward even when it feels impossible, and do what we can to make a better world for the next ones with the conviction that no one should be hurt like this. never again.
and now i'm going back to listening to Israeli music. because i try to experience some kind of peace and calm each day, whatever i can, so i will have some strength to send. through davening, i try to send strength to the hostages to help them survive. we're one family, and all deeply connected. i have to hope that it helps in some way.
if you want to say Mi Sheberach and Tehillim for these women and don't know how, please reach out. or just daven from the heart for them, dedicate it to their merit, say each of their names out loud. light an extra Shabbat candle for them. set an extra place at your table. put something about them in a public place to make their reality present there. you'll have to protect it from attack. but do it anyway.
and if you want to know what you can do to pressure your political representatives or organizations to do something to free these captives, and all of the captives, i'll be here to talk about that as well.
#jumblr#october 7#israel#terrorism#frumblr#israeli women#antisemitism#misogyny#rape culture#violence against women and girls#me too unless ur a jew#rape apologists#×ØÖ·×¢#every day i'm losing my mind#our daughters should never have to fear this

the thing about pei ming. is that what the narrative shows you straight out is him in a relationship where he didn't follow the typical romantic convention of abandoning everything for the other person. and then him attempting to cover for his nepotism grandkid. and then his reputation for sleeping with a lot of women. and then it really doesn't want to let you talk about the fact that he's very consistent about making sure that the women he has relationships with are taken care of after he's gone. or that he was doing the honorable thing by not taking the easy way out of a war and did his best with an impossible situation with that woman afterwards and made sure she was taken care of to the best of his ability. or that shi wudu, water tyrant, trusts him so much that he's essentially appointed him as shi qingxuan's guardian in case anything happens to him. like YES he's a whore. AND.
#i love being a xuan ji apologist i love when women are toxic. in my pei ming fanboy arc rn though#sorry for being a pei ming apologist i don't think he gets enough credit though#he's not morally bankrupt he actually has a very strong sense of honor and moral standards.#it's just that he. likes sex.#he cannot help being aroallo. that's not his fault. man just likes sex but doesn't care much for romantic relationships#anyway yada yada demonization of sex in our current culture nd sex as immoral when not accompanied by romance all that.#if he was not a guy who liked having sex. if he had purely romantic relationships and then made sure they were taken care of after.#how would people talk about him then...#anyway in my head he's the aromantic god of love he's big nd strong and handsome and he's my everything. he's my older brother#he's my gender icon#we could be frat boys together. in another life#talking#tgcf#pei ming#tian guan ci fu

Ok but the thing about the Xenomorph in Alien is everything it does is understandable
It kills Kane by being born but thatās not its fault, it doesnāt control how itās born or know itās coming out of a sentient species. Plus, the facehugger didnāt even trick Kane into getting close, he stuck his whole ass head in a pulsing alien egg for no reason
And then ultimately itās an animal. A smart animal, but basically still an animal. Itās born on a loud, confusing ship full of big loud things with dangerous weapons. It makes sense that it would
A. Need to eat (if they eat)
B. Respond to perceived threat (the first two times it kills someone it was hiding and they came to where it was to kill it)
C. Feel the need to defend what it sees as its territory (when it kills Parker and Lambert they came down to where it was hiding and started making loud noises and by this point it would see humans as a dangerous rival species)
On the shuttle it doesnāt attack Ripley first, it only does it after she sprays it with gas to hurt it into jumping out and reacting to her as a threat. When she first goes near it it swats at her but doesnāt get out of itās little hole until she attacks it, like a well fed predator giving a warning but not feeling the need to engage so long as the other thing in the room minds its business
Thatās something I love about the movies, itās not like Terminator or Predator or a slasher where the characters are up against sentient beings making the conscious thought to kill them. In the Alien franchise they have beef with confused space bears that are minding their own business until humans come to where they live and start messing around in their territory
#god forbid women do anything#Iām a Xenomorph apologist she was justified in everything that she did#alien franchise#alien 1979#alien series#xenomorph

The way JK Rowling will go from acting like she cares about online abuse (as long as she can make it about herself), to literally retweeting the MP, Nadia Whittman, telling her to shut up basically and then engaging with people insulting Nadia Whittman...just because Nadia Whittman called out the transphobe, Rosie Duffield. Conveniently also another example of JK Rowling going after a woman of color because lord knows JK Rowling can't resist showing her racism nowadays.
#anti jk rowling#anti jkr#fuck jk rowling#fuck jkr#oh and also called someone responding to her a 'rape apologist'#funny you mention that JK since you still gotta answer for removing money from a crisis center for that#just because you decided they cant support trans people while you fund them#seriously people still trying to insist she cares about women are very deep in denial#because she clearly does not

SEN'KA BHAALSPAWN ā THE HAUNTED ONE ā a torn page of a diary, smeared in blood
I knew it! The Society of Brilliance will have to listen to me now that I'm on the brink of this incredible discovery. I wasn't able to secure an egg, those wretched monsters just wouldn't part with it for any amount of coin but just as I thought all hope was lost, I found one of them on the road. An adult specimen, mind you, but a gith nonetheless. And when I tell you the look in her eyes was nothing like I've ever seen before. This was not simple contempt but a hunger deep within that rattled me to the core. She made an offputting comment about the smell of my blood and the look of my flesh, I had the distinct impression the only thing preventing her from tearing me apart here and there was the presence of her companions. When I asked her which chrĆØce she belong to she smiled a wicked smiled and told me she didn't grow up around other gith. I can't explain it but this was a definite turning point in my research, I'm sure this could be the way to prove that if the githyanki's violent nature cannot be overwritten by their surrounding, it can surely be made worse. I need to collect more data, I know it's going to be risky but if I could just find her again...
#bg3edit#durgeedit#gamingedit#the dark urge#baldur's gate 3#bg3#edit#sen'ka bhaalspawn#she honestly deserved a better edit but i'm fighting for my life trying to get through this fever and i wanted to post anyway#proud gith durge apologist first and foremost#she is going to resist daddy dearest in the end but why not yeeting esther off a cliff in the meantime i mean#god forbid women have hobbies

sorry, still on this soapbox but
we have really, REALLY done Colin a disservice in this fandom. we spent so long viewing him primarily as a Love Interest and not as a Character. But when we see and analyze him as a character, so many of his actions make sense, and it becomes almost ridiculous, the dynamics we've imposed on this couple (yes, I'm talking about the 'Colin fucked up and needs to prove himself to Penelope' narrative) when there's so much more nuance and beauty to their pairing than we give them credit for
we as the audience focus so much on Penelope's perspective in their relationship, of course, because we have so much of her perspective in the show, and so our frustrations with Colin stem from that, but we get more insight into him than Penelope does. The 'I would never court her' scene that we've been livid over for years is considerably softened when we actually look at Colin as a character, and the circumstances around his actions.
Colin spends season 2 SAD. He is straight up not okay. We leave Colin in Season 1 freshly heartbroken and running away to Greece to heal. In Season 2, we meet him again, considerably more somber. Colin doesn't participate in the dances. He even says 'I'm just a spectator'. Colin talks about how he started a conversation with himself, tried to understand what he wants and how he feels. Colin offers Benedict shroom tea, and for a moment, JUST A MOMENT, we see the facade slip. His mask cracks. 'Are you quite alright, brother?' and then it's gone. Then he's cheerful again. Calm Colin. Nice Colin.
Colin who is okay.
But Colin is *not* okay. Colin completely isolates himself from women. Colin doesn't flirt, doesn't entertain female attention. Colin is heartbroken, trying to be better. But he views Penelope as a friend, a sacred relationship, a worthwhile relationship, and he can't bear to lose her. To him, Penelope is arguably his closest friendship. His best friend. And in an entire town full of people who don't listen to him, he thinks Penelope does. Unlike the typical dynamic of the ton, in which men are ONLY speaking to women by viewing them as potential sexual partners, Colin views Penelope as a whole person. She doesn't just exist as a romantic option to him, but as a vital connection in his life. That's why the 'I am a woman' 'You are. . .Pen' is so important to view as an act of love- Penelope is NOT just a woman as the ton sees her, good for marriage prospects and little else, Penelope is a complete person. Yes, she's a woman, but more importantly, she's PEN. She's a full human being. And he values her as such. We cannot say the same for the grand majority of men in his society. Tell me any other male-female friendships like that in the ton where that level of respect is given?
But for Penelope, it's hurtful, because she WANTS to be seen as a romantic option in his eyes. That's a fair feeling, though we as an audience should recognize that it can be both upsetting to Pen, and also deeply beautiful as a sentiment. Because of Penelope's hopes of Colin as a romantic prospect, she does not see that he is hurting. Because of our connection as a fandom to Penelope, we do not see it, either. But he *is* hurting. In all of Season 2 he's hurting. That's why he throws himself into the Jack mess. He wants, NEEDS a distraction. He wants to find a place in his world, his society. Honestly? He needs a win. He has spent the last year losing and losing and losing. Who can blame him for being sick of it? His engagement blows up, he finds out his family pays no attention to him, that no one cares about his agency, and he's publicly humiliated. If he invests, if he makes money, he might make more male connections. Might run in more important circles. Like his brothers do. Might prove himself. But Colin isn't friends with the men of the ton. We don't see ANY evidence that he has strong friendships with any of them. Because he isn't like them.
He is 22 years old. Treated like a child in his own family. When he talks about his travels, no one listens. Everyone dismisses him. 'Remarkable, yes, in the sense that I have many remarks about it'. Colin is invisible. He is trying to slot himself in his community, but he does not fit neatly into it. He connects with Will, a man outside his community, and Penelope, a woman also outside his community, because *Colin* exists outside his community. He's the foolish boy who fell headfirst for a woman who lied to him. He's the 'green' baby walking in his older brother's footsteps and unable to fill them. He doesn't behave the way other men of the ton do. He doesn't talk like other men of the ton do. Hell, he *apologizes* to women. We have men NOW in the MODERN ERA who don't even apologize to women.
His own *mother* doesn't even notice he was dating someone for several months in season 1. Colin is a pretty, empty ghost wandering around Mayfair, and so of course he's thrown into a locker room conversation with a bunch of guys who have never once seen a woman as a person, and doesn't relate to them. Colin's not joking and having fun with these men. We very purposefully do not see his reaction after he delivers the 'I would never court her' line.
Colin is uncomfortable around them, but he needs their help to make it up to Will, someone who was kind to him and who he looks up to. He has the mask on so firmly in that scene, it's physically obvious to see. If you compare his reactions around Penelope to his reactions around Fife, it's stark. With Penelope he's open, his eyes are soft, his expression is curious and kind, his shoulders are relaxed. Around Fife he's closed off, eyes hard, muscles tense. Who can blame him? He's acting. He's acting just like he's acting around Jack.
When we look at Colin as a whole character, we get insight into his actions and they make SENSE. The things he say that hurt Penelope are things that are actually defending her- Colin saying he wouldn't court her to those men in particular, is an act of caring. He is defending her in that scene. When a debutante is only good for being 'wed, bed, and bred' in their eyes, Colin saying no, that Penelope is worth more than that, that his connection to her isn't forged on wanting to fuck her, or exploit her, or treat her as a sexual object, is radical. Because anything else, ANYTHING else that he says that isn't an outright denial, puts Penelope in danger. He can't let them believe that the woman he cherishes so deeply he cannot even ENTERTAIN the idea of not talking to her is out here being ruined by his hands.
And when we see it that way, we see that, in reality, of all the men in the series, Colin is the one who has been kindest to his love interest. Colin is the one who has defended her, the one who has stuck his neck out for her, the one who has cared for her with absolutely no expectations of sex or romance in return.
Colin's relationship to Penelope is beautiful, and sure, she can be upset that it isn't in the exact shape she wants it to be, but I think if she takes a step back and looks at it more objectively, if WE take a step back and look at it more objectively, Colin has only ever gone into it with a big, earnest heart. Not PERFECTLY, of course, he isn't perfect, but with the best intentions, and with as much honesty as he can.
And I don't know why we don't celebrate him more for it
#colin bridgerton#polin#penelope featherington#lord fife#bridgerton#once again i am first and foremost a colin apologist#but also like. . .he really does deserve better#he's in this city with all these ain't shit men around him#you think fife has EVER apologized to a woman????#cho???#most of these men are viewing women on the marriage market as meat#at the very least colin sees penelope as a human being#he listens to her he appreciates her he tells her openly that he cares about her#there is not one man who has treated a woman with this much tenderness without already being romantically interested in her#and that should be CELEBRATED not demonized

"Bo started the town and lied! It's so obvious he did it all!"
(If yall don't stop babygirling my man Vincent)
Bo and Vince are equally traumatized and equally fucked up in different ways.
Bo never received love or affection without the threat of what would happen if he wasn't good, any negativity was met with harsh punishment and he clearly was troubled at a young age with no help, called a monster as a tiny boy, has physical scars from it he has to see daily, still seems to hold his mother in good regards (Especially script Bo) but subconsciously takes his mommy issues and need for control out on bound women to both re-live his childhood trauma and to possibly get both love and revenge on his mother through women (No excuse obvi just pointing it out WHY I think he does it).
Vincent was encouraged to cover his face and wear a mask even at home, his deformed face was the main focus and his parent's did nothing to make him feel like he deserved normalcy (Mama said your talent would make up for what God took from you), watched his brother be abused and probably had Bo resenting him for it and he might resent Bo for being the problem child ruining their childhood, was groomed to follow in his mother's footsteps, has little to no communication to anyone but Bo (Maybe Lester) and is probably a perfectionist that needs control as well from the pressure of being the Golden Child to his Mother and was the one that waxed her corpse.
So idk WHY we all think Bo was the only one that could've started the town's wax corpse thing??? Yeah he is an arrogant blow hole that loves manipulating people but the entire movie he might as well be the ringleader that's just talking to the audience and suckering people in but Vincent is the one really doing most of the heavy lifting behind the scenes. Yes, that could be Bo manipulating him and making him do it all or it could be them as a team (I vote this one) and Bo is just obviously more inviting or it could be Vincent doing it all and Bo is just helping to reap the rewards of helpless women at his disposal and getting out pent up rage on people.
It could've been Bo looking for an opportunity to finally take out his sadistic rage
It could've been Vincent who did it in severe grief over his Mother aka the Handler that made him codependent on her and is just as twisted as his twin
IT COULD'VE BEEN TRUDY/THEIR MOTHER! Just because Bo lied to Carly; who says he's lying to Vince??? Seriously, Trudy was a shitty Mom and a bit nuts herself if you ask me strapping their fucking child down till he bleeds or making their kid a wax mask to cover their face even at home so who is to say in her final years she wasn't the one that did this??? (Not counting the script that heavily hints Bo killed both his parents after years of abuse but still didn't say WHO waxed the corpses first)
I accept all HC but it would not shock me if Bo convinced Vincent to do it after preserving Trudy...If Trudy did it and they really are trying to make their Mother proud...Or if Vincent in his grief waxed Trudy's body in memory of her but also waxed a person as revenge/spite and Bo being the guy he is went with it.
#I'm not even a Bo apologist but us neglecting the fact Vince is the one waxing ppl always bothered me#Bo barely did anything but lie and tie up women and cut a finger off#Vincent was the one going HAM#like Bo would've got caught or killed without Vince#vincent sinclair#bo sinclair#house of wax 2005
