I’ve Been Getting Into Weightlifting Recently (I’m Certainly Not A Gym Rat And Never Really Took

Imo like we tried subversively gender neutral language, we had good intentions, but it didn’t work and it’s time to try something else. The assumption that ungendered/neutral subject=male and relationship=heterosexual is just too strong under a patriarchy. It didn’t take very long at all after everyone started using “partner” for strangers to start assuming I meant a boyfriend when I used it, and I know from outing myself every single day of my life that sometimes you can EXPLICITLY gender your partner and people will just unconsciously fit it into the paradigm theyre more comfortable with. In the case of my girlfriend’s very obviously feminine name, sometimes that’s hearing “Julian” or vocalizing surprise at, as one of her uber drivers put it, how Julia isn’t “a very gender congruent name” but they’ll do it, and they’ll say “he” back to you when you use she. You don’t make social gains by using mailperson if everyone assumes the mailperson is a man anyway, you have to actively challenge Male As Default. Mailwomen or bust tbh.

I know people think the conversion of barbieland to a patriarchy was stupid because greta was either unable or unwilling to acknowledge the real world systems that have historically supported it but personally I think the in-universe explanation that the barbies had lived in a matriarchy for so long that it was easy to brainwash them because they had no idea how bad it would be (and maybe even thought it would be a fun change of pace?) is INCREDIBLY relevant for zillennial girls who've grown up taking feminist victories for granted and are now embracing tiktok tradwife bullshit. imo.

As a lesbian, I am so fucking over butch/femme culture.

If people are using this still as slur its not really a reclaim, especially when the oppressed use it as slur, same thing with fslur

so glad I live in the TERFs get tomato juiced country maybe we could start branching into soups also

Im so fucking happy, that i cut of my toxic friends

My life is better now

I’m so sick of the idea that we have to be in perfectly good moods at all times especially on our fucking periods. I’m not going to be nice while blood is pouring out from me and my cramps are killing me and my sensory issues get worse and the headaches and entire body aches and disrupted sleep and irritability I’m so sick of the expectation that during a period we should just carry on as normal
