If you identify as female, why are you taking the perspective of a male?
when people say that women in the entertainment industry who are sexualised are expressing their own sexuality, i often think of these youtube videos that came out when i was a teenager from the buzzfeed try guys of all people
in the first one, they get styled and photoshopped the way male celebrities do, and in the second they are styled, posed and photoshopped like female celebrities
their comments are surprisingly insightful
"there was nothing human about that, i was just an object"
"in an effort to photoshop you more to female standards, your look has gone from 'i will either murder or fuck you' to 'wont you please come fuck me?'"
when women are styled this way, they aren't expressing their own desire, they're embodying cultural stereotypes that say women don't have their own sexuality, they are objects for men to project their own sexuality onto. and when male sexuality is caught up in ideas of dominance and conquest, performing for the male gaze becomes consistently degrading

The Connection Between PTSD and the Menopausal Transition
men will PURPOSELY ask you things in a condescending tone and then act surprised when you get an attitude like “i wasn’t trying to start an argument” yes you were travis shut the fuck up
this is basically a short horror film
A lot of harm could have been avoided if trans activists didn't bully medical and psychological professionals out of doing their job. "Everyone who says they're trans, is trans and should be believed." Well, no. They could be socially influenced They could have emotional problems and trauma They could have body image issues They could be autistic They could be facing adolescent fears and pressures re sex and gender They could have a sexual fetish They could have a pushy parent and be a victim of munchausen by proxy They could need anti-psychotic drugs and mood stablizers They could have a neurological problem that has altered their perception. They could be depressed, BPD, anxious, avoidant, narcissistic Genuinely why did activists just say words they pulled out of their ass and doctors responded with "well, ok" with no further research. That was insane.
She should not have had to share the details of here CSA to get people to take her seriously.
Men are still more likely to be violent towards you than women are, no matter how much you hate women
I can never take terfs seriously because wdym you make such a big deal of, like, 1% of the population?
"I don't wanna see a penis in my public restroom." Why would that happen? Women's bathrooms don't have urinals. How many times have you seen a penis that did not belong to an average cis white man?
Most, if not all, feminist acknowledge how patriarchy affects men. So, do you really believe a man will put all the effort to not fit masculine characteristics and traditions just to go into women's bathroom? We all know what happens to someone who doesn't fit their gender roles.
