I've Gotta Say, Watching The Creepiest Dudes From My High School Become TIMs Is Dystopian As Fuck.

that's kind of eye opening actually. like anal was a porn trend. deepthroating was a porn trend. the whole "girl gets stuck" thing was a porn trend. now it's breeding everyone and everything. and the worst part is they don't ever really fade away. they just stack on top of each other like a grotesque tower of bodily fluids and exploited women.

Are you like, stupid?

say rape. not grape, not 🍇, say rape. it might be uncomfortable to say, but that's okay. rape isn't supposed to be comfortable. by taking away the weight and emotion around the word, we're watering down the horrible act. making it more digestible.

"but I have to say grape so I can stay monetised" then don't talk about rape. if you're telling someones story solely for the money, you don't deserve to be telling their story.

rape is a horrible, disgusting, act that SHOULD feel uncomfortable to hear about. but something feeling uncomfortable shouldn't mean that we should censor ourselves. let it be uncomfortable to hear, but keep listening anyways.

Gendies like to say "sex ≠ gender." And this is correct.

And if we agree that sex ≠ gender, then riddle me this: why do you people try to force your way into sex-segregated spaces and sports based on gender identity?

Could it be that you may just be incredibly dishonest people who move goalposts and change rules based on what benefits you in the moment?

Gender non conforming kids do not need fixed. Not by conservatives telling them they should fit the gender role society attached to their sex. And not by liberals telling them they need to go on puberty blockers so they can transition to the other gender/sex. Literally just leave them alone

For most people, life doesn’t truly begin until they’re 26-30 or older. The way we romanticize and obsess over youth is super harmful. Your life is not over at 21, I promise you. It’s just beginning

one time my university invited a motivational speaker and he started by talking about historical figures he found inspirational (like in business/economics) and then asked "what do they have in common?" and a girl in the crowd shouted "they're all men!"

Not sure who she was but I'll never forget her
