It’s sooooooo funny how conservatives don’t want to date or be friends with each other rancid recognizes rancid

makes my skin crawl when i hear people say men/boys want "respect" when what they mean is men/boys want deference, submission, obedience. sexual rejection is not disrespect. rape culture!!

this is not a drag on fanfiction but if you find yourself consistently saying “wow fic is better than most published stuff!! and it’s free!!” it might be a sign that your brain is ready for and craving more complicated literature than the books you are used to gravitating towards

Much of female trans identity is based in an unwillingness to analyse and grapple with misogyny and how deeply it can affect women, and an unwillingness to work towards changing this.

You want to be able to go outside shirtless? Let’s not think about how disturbing it is that women are denied such a basic freedom. Let’s not work to make the female torso be seen as neutral as the male torso. Let’s just say that you want this freedom because you’re not actually a woman (women who call themselves women are fine with their breasts being seen as something in need of censorship), and let’s encourage you to get “top surgery”.

You don’t identify with femininity? Let’s not consider that femininity exists as a tool to oppress women. Let’s not talk about the ways that femininity is forced onto women and girls, which will naturally lead many to despise it. Let’s not insist that femininity and masculinity aren’t innate, but rather are social constructs that need to be done away with. Let’s do the opposite and insist that you actually have a masculine soul and that you’re not actually a woman (because women who call themselves women just love femininity so much).

You feel uncomfortable with she/her pronouns? You feel more comfortable with her/him and/or they/them? Let’s not examine the way that he/him and they/them are used as default for living things, while she/her is used as default for objects. Let’s not think about what it does to a woman’s self-perception to be referred to the same way as a man’s treasured car. Let’s not try to change the way we use pronouns for living things vs objects. Let’s just say that you’re not actually a woman (because women who call themselves women never feel uncomfortable with this phenomenon), insist that everyone call you anything other than she/her.

When you insist that discomfort with misogyny and female oppression is a sign of not being a woman at all, the implication is that women who don’t want to pretend they aren’t female are comfortable with said misogynistic oppression. They identify with it. This leaves no room for actual discussion and change, because whenever a woman tries to open a discussion to promote change, she’s met with “well maybe you aren’t a woman? Cis women don’t think like that”.

It’s the easy way out. It’s much easier to believe that you have a soul that was meant to be exempt from the oppression you experience—unlike those other women who enjoy it—and that you can escape it with an identity change, than to confront the fact that misogyny and female oppression runs deeper than most women want to believe, and that the only true way out is to fight for change.

People just seem absolutely unable to comprehend what’s happening in Ukraine. You tell them everything that is happening including tens of thousands of kids possibly hundreds but that number hasn’t been fully considered have been kidnapped and being trafficked and they can’t comprehend how bad it is because it doesn’t fit their narrative of the world. It’s just a white country fighting a white country how can any side oppress the other. It’s like their brains literally cannot comprehend it because it doesn’t fit the only framework they know for comprehending the world. I don’t understand how they hear this and then aren’t horrified

tradwife criticism is a hard pill to swallow coming from this jordan theresa woman who identifies as a “bimbo” and freely admits to a dangerous sexual lifestyle (her male partners punch and slap and choke her during sex, which she says she loves. i unsubscribed from her after she romanticized that behavior.)

nara and the bieber woman and the 1975 woman are not tradwives, they’re models who have more in common with jordan theresa than with ballerina farm. these women all own successful businesses/personal brands and are married to effete men with whom they share a cosmopolitan lifestyle. the only thing “trad” about them is their performative sexual submission to men, which (again) lefty feminists like jordan theresa share.

it’s pathetic that we are 20+ years into liberal feminism/female chauvinism and it’s still got this chokehold on women across the political spectrum. but why wouldn’t it be successful? it demands exactly nothing of you as a woman. it reinforces foundational patricharal values. i just wish these choice feminist types would cease their investigations into alleged tradwifery, because they are dishonest and their critical framework is abysmal dogshit. it in fact seems as if they’re angry at women who are exactly like them, but had the good sense to actually get married and monetize said marriage (and hopefully sign a prenup) rather than serve as an unpaid punching bag for men in bed. omg
