"but If I Don't Shave Then It's Super Itchy!" It's Itchy Because It's Trying To Grow Back You Fucking

women are on twitter defending that smallville guy and saying there's nothing wrong with the way he aged but if he were a woman there would be a zillion different posts about how women hit the wall once they're out of their twenties

hands up if middle aged white men scare you more than anyone else

"is it authoritarian and problematic to ban the steam game about torturing and raping your hypothetical mom"

Do you engage with commentary by sex workers at all, including those who advocate for decriminalization or who aren't activists but oppose their clients being criminalized regardless? It seems to me that your concerns are for women generally, because you falsely believe that decriminalizing sex work would lead to further misogyny by validating the purchase of sex, but that you don't seem aware of what sex workers think and feel about the subject at all.

When you're speaking over a marginalized group and insisting you know better, that tells me you don't value their opinions or see them as worthy of listening to.

Yes, and I disagree. I’ve read and listened to plenty of sex workers who argue for full decriminalization. I still fundamentally disagree. That disagreement doesn’t come from ignorance, it comes from looking at the broader consequences. And as it turns out, many current and former sex workers agree with me. Do you 🫵🏾 listen to them?

I’m very aware of what pro-decriminalization sex workers say. Sex workers can be wrong. Being directly involved in a system doesn’t mean you automatically have the clearest view of its harms.

Also, "falsely"? Wdym "falsely"? How can validating purchasing sexual access to women not lead to further misogyny, a cornerstone of which is male access to and control over women's sexuality?

The opinions of pro sex work workers are not more or less valuable than anti sex work workers. I take issue with the idea that disagreement equals dismissal. I’ve listened. I’ve read the arguments. I still believe the normalization of sex work hurts women and that includes the women working in the industry. I am not obligated to fall behind a line of thinking just because a particular person is saying it.

In conclusion, feminism isn't a girl's club. It isn't here to support anything a woman does. It's about female liberation, and that doesn't change because some of the people working against our liberation are also women. There are pro-life women too. There are anti-suffragette women too. Why don't we listen to and validate them as well?

It is not more feminist to align with pro sex work rhetoric simply because a sex worker asked you to. Not everything a woman does is feminist. not even everything a feminist does is feminist. we can't advance if we're too busy coddling and "listening" and being too afraid to question.

If you identify as female, why are you taking the perspective of a male?

original tiktok post (go support the og)

her name is adriana smith. she's been legally dead for 7 months and her body is being used as an incubator. shes been in a vegetative state and her body, without her consent, has been being used as an incubator for 30 weeks, 7 months now.

she died from medical neglect. and for those that say "it's for the baby", the baby isn't expected to live through childbirth, even before adriana died. her family will probably have to pay the medical bills (and likely funeral costs for both adriana and the child).

adriana needed a life saving surgery, but the doctors were more worried about a baby that wouldn't even make it more than the woman who was already alive.

some of the comments on the og video:

Instead of asking people "do you support trans rights", we should ask if they supports actual demands of trans activists. Because it's easy to support a popular label. The real test is to see if people are actually in favor of what lies behind it (just like instead of asking if people support feminism, we must ask if they're in favor of various womens rights).

A few examples of questions :

Do you support the right of male people to legally identify as women ?

Are you in favor of mixed-sex prisons ? Changing rooms ? Public toilets ? Support groups ?

Do you think medical treatment should be tested for a specific use before it's available for that use ?

How do you feel about taxpayers moey going to non-medically essential procedures for trans people who wants them ?

Do you think biological sex should be legally erased ?

Are you in favor of medical treatment preventing fertility for minor patients without medical problems ?

Do you think people should be able to dress however they want as long as it's not sexual in public spaces ?

Don't hesitate to propose your own questions. Doesn't have to be about harmful practices of the trans activists. Just has to be clear and objective points of trans rights.

The original idea for this post comes from @stumblngrumbl

We should bring back lobotomies. Just for you.
