It's so upsetting to see post after post about girls and women being unhappy with their appearances, mostly after facing judgement.
I'd like to remind you that your physical beauty, your appearance, is the least interesting, most boring thing about you.
How is your appearance going to help you get good grades? It won't, your knowledge will.
How is your appearance going to save the life of the victim of drowning? It won't, your knowledge will.
How is your appearance going to keep the conversation going? It won't. Your knowledge, interests, and personality will.
Saying you don't like yourself because your ugly is like saying you hate your birthday present because it got wrapped in ugly wrapping paper. It's on the inside that counts, that actually matters.
It's more than okay to be "ugly" or what society deems unattractive. Beauty is subjective anyway. You'll never win if you tried.
Like, really, you have to be a troll. I don’t even think most TRAs aren’t this dumb and degenerate. You just have to be some white dude from 4chan trying to simultaneously fuck with TRAs and women.
Sex is why women are opressed
Gender is how
My “all rich people are bad” brother would lose his fucking mind if I said “All men, including you”.
“Errr I don’t exploit you”, oh but when I had to walk to school in a dense black abaya and long hijab under the sweltering heat and you walked alongside me in your loose dress shirt, your privileged ass never showed any meaningful sympathy?
When you got to play sports outside all day but we girls couldn’t because of our restrictive wear and fear of male discrimination and sexual harassment, was it not your privileged ass that didn’t mind?
When we went to the beach and or swimming pools, it wasn’t you that only wore shorts swimming comfortably while I was covered head to toe in my burkini, still being leered at by the creep across the pool so I couldn’t even enjoy myself?
When our male cousin lived with us during the summer, was it not us girls that had to dress modestly and ‘behave’ in our own fucking homes while you played video games shirtless?
When our baby brother was growing up, was it not you that never changed his diaper once in your fucking life despite us being only a year apart in age?
When you started studying Islam just like me, was it not you that accused me of being blasphemous when I brought up concerns about sexism?
You saw obvious discrimination, you experienced privileges and benefitted, and you never once helped. I don’t care that you were ‘nice’ to me and joked around with me and hung out with me sometimes— the structure of inequality that you never cared to address is clear in my mind.
All men, INCLUDING YOU.
If you want to know why we live in a rape culture, it's because men believe that rape is just sex a woman wasn't crazy about.
Misogyny on the Harry Potter sub is crazy. Everyone bending over backwards to villainize Hermione while defending Ron, James, Snape, Sirius, Draco, and every other dickhead in the series, ten bajillion “Umbridge is worse than Voldemort” posts and comments…this is why I stay away from fandoms.
And then a braindead post about Hermione being an insufferable, close-minded know it all today…yeah, I think you tend to seem like a “bossy know it all” when you’re the most intelligent, capable witch of your age and no one listens to you. Also calling her sadistic and cruel when she:
1: Manages to shut up a journalist whose entire career centered around discrediting, bullying, and lying about a teenage boy, half-humans who never harmed anyone, and an elderly man. Rita Skeeta stalked children for tabloid stories, ruined careers, and spread disinformation that massively delayed any widespread action against fucking wizard hitler.
2: Jinxes another student who sold out dozens of her peers, including her friends, to Dolores Umbridge, an actual sadistic freak who routinely tortures children. It’s fucking acne, Marietta will get over it.
3: Is jealous because the boy she likes is going out with someone else and being an insensitive asshole to her…? I think pretty much any teenager would conjure birds to peck at their longtime friend turned crush in this situation. It’s not like she fucking castrated him Jesus Christ 😭
And then people saying she’s unempathetic and mean spirited…the girl who wanted to help everyone, to her own detriment…
Hermione, they’ll never make me hate you.
i love kink shaming actually. yes I think it’s repulsive that you like role-playing that your gf is your 5 year old daughter while you two are having sex. no i don’t think that it makes it ethical just because you didn’t actually physically rape a child. die mad about it
I want women who enjoy their rights rn oblivious to history and to everything going around them to see this. You can not take a backseat that you're safe now forever. You have to stay active, or this happens. Men will choose to oppress women instead of addressing their complaints. Out of all the proposed solutions like maternity leave, shorter work days, egalitarian house chores, etc, they choose to reduce women back to incubators.
my unpopular opinion is that i hate tiktok because now people just publicly watch loud ass videos in public spaces with no regard for anyone else. 100% it was not this bad with youtube, it’s such a different thing with tiktok. put on headphones. you are grown.
OKAY I’M OUT. this is the last straw
I'm not a linguist but mainstream feminism's total lack of respect for language and the meaning of words need to be studied Call sex "work" but then shocked when Belgian prostitutes are being told they have productivity quotas to meet (aka treated like a worker) and can't refuse sex more than 10 times in 6 months else they may be reported to a government official. Call "woman" anyone who identifies as woman and then shocked when a male serial rapist and murderer demands being in the female prison. Say the job fair is for women and "anyone non binary or femme aligned" and shocked when hundreds of regular males show up. Convinced the wishy washy-ness and boundary-lessness of feminist speech is a manifestation of women's total disempowerment in society.
In every other sphere of life- language has hard rules and definitions. When it comes to women's issues, porous, open-ended language is the trademark. It's like not even our words can say "no". No word we use must ever even imply a "no". It's sick.
And don't get me started on the concept of inclusivity itself has been pretty much been weaponized to mean "never say no".
