the jarring contrast between radblr having posts detailing white men drugging and raping a woman in her 70s, a white man creeping on his own daughters, a white man strangling his wife and then pureeing her in a blender, white men joking about a woman being puréed in a blender, a white man keeping a woman captive for years and torturing and sexually violating her, a white man getting a slap on the wrist for the possession of child porn, and then posts arguing that white men are more humane and less misogynistic/violent to women indicates severe cognitive dissonance.
"but if i don't shave then it's super itchy!" it's itchy because it's trying to grow back you fucking dumbasses, let it grow out to normal length and you won't be itchy. problem fucking solved.
If men hadn't oppressed, restricted, raped and enslaved women for the last 5000 years all the ugly, short, balding in their 20s men would have died out by now and I'll never forgive them for that
ngl idgaf abt if aileen wuornos acted in self defense or not dont rent out the bodies of vulnerable women and u wont suffer the consequences
"trans ally" gay celeb men like troye sivan and pedro pascal etc will wear "protect the dolls" tshirts and spend all their time on social media saying TWAW, but won't eat a transman's pussy. despite all their posturing, their actions show that they know transwomen are men and therefore deserving of their time and energy, whereas transmen are women and therefore a forgotten afterthought. the uk supreme court's ruling that sex is biological affected both transmen and transwomen equally, and yet i have seen zero gay celeb men posting about how transmen are real men. it's allllll been about the transwomen.
no one has class solidarity quite like the male sex.
It's absolutely cruel to women in general to have gender neutral bathrooms replacing women's rooms, but it's downright unfathomably evil to do this to little and teen girls, especially in schools.
Imagine being 9 and getting your first period, bleeding all over the toilet, thinking you're dying, and having your male peers in the room with you instead of just other girls who can get you cleaned up and comfort you, telling you what a period is and that you're safe.
Imagine being 12 and having endometriosis, curled up on the toilet in agony on your lunch break at school, and hearing the boys in the next stall over making sex jokes (or worse - laughing at your sobbing).
Imagine being 10 and having no way to hide the fact that you changed your pad from the boys in your grade who will then go on to tease you and say you're bitchy and hormonal if you fight back.
Imagine being 14 and trying to find a moment of reprieve from the boys sexually harassing you, only to have them follow you into the bathroom and record audio of you urinating.
Imagine being 6, just entering first grade, and having an older boy kick open the cubicle you were struggling to lock.
Imagine being 17 and having your male peers crawl under your cubicle, phone in hand, camera app on.
Imagine being 15 and having nowhere to be with just your female friends to cry about heartbreak or harassment, or even just to be with girls alone to laugh and joke in peace.
Lack of sex segregated accommodations in wartime prisons are considered a human rights violation by the Geneva conventions for a reason. This is psychological torture towards our girls. It's evil. Truly fucking evil.

Period started on the full moon, crashed out the day after. I am NOT locked in.
WHEN ON PERIOD:
do not crash out
your feelings are NOT valid
do not send that text
don't kill yourself. lock in
do not act on negative emotions until at least 2 days have elapsed
Why do we have to share a planet with these things.
Hell's bells, the amount of privilege you have to have to admit to being a rapist on camera while maintaining your position as one of the most beloved athletes and admired individuals of all time over several decades...is not an inconsiderable amount of privilege, folks, even in a patriarchy.
look idgaf about selena gomez or her drama and everthing I've learned about this relationship has been against my will
but this story reminded me of so many conversations I have been in with leftist men, back when I was still trying to a be cool kweer girl
men meeting their partner's friends and then paying for their porn but "babe, you can't be angry about that because I'm just being supportive and I didn't realize you were so sex-negative, especially since you keep claiming to care about sex workers :/ it's just like any other work. it's no different from you paying for your friends' art"
I loathe them
