"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.

i found my new motto “i am your future boss, not your future wife.”

Exhibit 3106

Trans women are women. The UK Supreme Court made that clear today.

I rly hate the Satanic Panic & the moral panic surrounding violence in video games in the 90s, coz it's now impossible to talk about the social implications of violent video games in a realistic sense.

No, violence in video games does not create serial killers in the way most people imagine it would.

However, it's very important to notice how after 9/11, a lot of violent video games pivoted their content from silly gratuitous cartoon gore to more realistic military shooters set in the Levant from a US American lens. It's also important to notice the connection of these games & their toxic online multi-player voice chats to Gamer Gate in 2014.

It's obviously not as black & white as it was presented in the 80s & 90s, I dont think everyone who played early Call of Duty games is a white supremacist who wants to join the military to kill people in the middle east, but I think it's dangerous to pretend like video games or any media can't have an impact on the way people think about violence.

I think what makes all the difference here is how that violence is portrayed, what the message behind it is, what the motives are behind the people who crafted that message, who the victims of that violence are, how they are portrayed & the greater cultural context that surrounds it.

every woman thinks she's evil and irredeemable for making a few avoidable mistakes while every man goes about his day thinking he's normal after having emotionally tortured at least 5 different women

“emasculating” is a euphemism for “demeaning in a way only women should have to suffer”

“How are you going to enforce female only spaces? Genital checks at the door?!”

No, we were hoping that males would respect women enough to not enter our spaces. But thanks for being honest and admitting that you don’t think they’re capable of such respect.

I hate Reddit

there is a subreddit called guysbeingdudes that is always front page, with videos of men having fun or doing funny things and men in the comments acting like it's unique to men. so, someone, presumably women, created justgalsbeingchicks and letgirlshavefun to have a sub for the same thing of women just having fun, but it almost immediately got swarmed with men who have completely taken over it, and now any post of it on the r/all page is either sexual shit like 'let girls go stupid on the dick' 'me when he cums inside' or memes and videos revolving around negative misogynistic tropes and stereotypes, posted as 'haha, women are so dumb and silly'. but everything is posted as if the posters and commenters are women, and they're all men.

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.
