Carrie is fat in the book. Learning that completely blew me.
The use of pigs blood makes so much more sense. The reason she was bullied so relentlesly, even though she does nothing to nobody, makes so much more sense. The relationship with her mother makes so much more sense.
I know they aren't going to, but I wish they would cast someone fat in this new Carrie adaptation. From the articles I've seen, they are already speculating which skinny actress it's going to be.
How many times can they tell the story the same exact way? The answer: endlessly.
I don't know what's worse the total erasure of fat people in movies or the only story we get to see ourselves in are the love yourself fatty movies.
this website’s attitude toward gender non-conforming children and its universal insistence that boys who wear skirts aren’t really boys and girls who like short hair and non-feminine colors aren’t really girls is SO primitive and harmful.
how is ~othering~ children who don’t meet your performance standards for their sex NOT reinforcing oppressive patriarchal gender roles and expectations?
“girls aren’t allowed to participate in no shave november!1!!! it’s gross!!!!”

So this " straight guy" solved a problem for sexism which feminism couldn't ..
Gee ! Just have a mini penis ....simple
No vagina,no problem!
Apparently ,vagina is badly designed ,secretive and makes women unhappy !!!
Women live in shame because of their poorly designed anatomy ,wow ! what a genius..
Sometimes i wonder what it is, men are more retarded or more illiterate .
Everyone should be entitled to a free little treat once per day when they leave the house. A hot beverage, a cookie, whatever. You should have government issued daily tokens and you should be able to go into a shop or a cafe and pick what you like and take it to the counter and hand them your token and say "this is my free little daily treat" and then you don't have to pay for it. please vote for me as your local mp in the next general election.
"this is where your Harry Potter money goes!"
good ✌🏼
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.
some QRTs from the original thread which is of course also worth a read. the Chinese movement 6B4T is frequently subject to censorship online.
The oblivion remake is a soulless, ugly piece of crap that completely disregards the vibrancy and whimsy of the original. I will never stop hating it 💯
Can we please just start k****** them
I liked this article, although I don't agree with "patriarchy good" and the casual misogyny. But I agree with the author and "his" solution -already shared it on this blog.
If you go by how we use the word colloquially which is all that matters, basically 99% of men are pedophiles. It is true that if you're going by the dictionary definition “a psychiatric disorder in which an adult has sexual fantasies about or engages in sexual acts with a prepubescent child” only about 1 to 4 percent of men experience pedophilic attraction. However, 9 times out of 10 when someone's calling a person a pedophile online that's not what they mean.
So what about their revealed preferences? Instead of asking men, what if you showed them a series of images of naked underaged girls and naked adult women and then measured their reactions (don't ask me how this study was legal)? Well, then the percentage of men who are attracted to sub-18-year-old girls is by no means a minority.
In the first study, there was very little difference between the amount of arousal men experience from seeing nude 12 to 16-year-old girls and nude 17 to 37-year-old women. In the second study, men expressed a preference for adolescent girls ages 11 to 15. So from these two studies, the results indicate that men are either more attracted to adolescent girls than adult women or almost as attracted to adolescent girls as they are to adult women. Either way, it's not looking good bros.
They legitimately have convinced themselves they could never find a teenage girl attractive because such attraction is legally, morally, and socially prohibited. None of this changes the fact that if you show them images of 15-year-old girls in bikinis their penis becomes erect.
Oh, one last thing before I move on. If you are a woman reading this, I want to give you a very helpful piece of advice. If you have a guy friend who regularly says things like "I'm 27, I could never find a girl who's 19 attractive that's freaking weird and gross" that's the type of guy who is knowingly lying and he is a dangerous sociopath. Run.
(this part lmao)
In reality, if you remove all extrinsic social factors and place men back in the state of nature for a couple of generations they become way more violent and rapey.
In pre-civilization times something like 1/4 of all males died due to having their skull caved in with a rock by another dude. About 1/10 of the Skulls from prehistoric women have also been found with rock-shaped holes in their heads. Given that most female homicide victims throughout recorded history have been killed by men I think it's reasonable to assume that was probably the case back then too. I can't find good stats on prehistoric rape because unlike getting hit with a rock it often doesn't result in skeletal trauma that anthropologists can later identify. That said, the idea of sexual consent being important is a relatively modern phenomenon. Let's be real if a fella is willing to bash your head in with a rock I don't think rape is far-fetched.
Our patriarchal society makes men behave far better than they otherwise would. That said, the previous studies showing the ages of girls men find attractive demonstrates the limits of socialization. We can change men's actions and stated preferences but their underlying drives, urges, and desires will always remain the same. To summarize, the essentialist radfem who believes that all men are born violent rapist pedophiles is a lot closer to being correct than her moderate counterpart, since she doesn't try to shift the blame from men onto some nebulous social structure.
The author responded to a thoughtful comment saying:
"Thank you for reading my piece. I'm glad you had a chance to read it as you were one of the authors who inspired me to write it. I'm going to compartmentalize your response that way it'll be easier for me to respond to each point.
> and possible start advocating for major male-specific eugenics
This is unironically my ultimate solution to the issue. In the past eugenics was actually performed somewhat unintentionally in Western Europe with around 1% of the most violent elements of the male population( rapists murderers etc) being executed each generation before they could create offspring for about a thousand years. I think Ryan Faulk ( the alternative hypothesis) did a study on this. It had a massive effect on the Western European gene pool both raising its IQ and domesticating it somewhat. In pre Medieval Times northern European men had rates of homicide exceeding some African societies. I think more feminists should take a serious look at Eugenics as a solution to the issues they have with men since “ teaching men not to rape” is probably not going to eradicate the issue entirely. Plus many of the four foremothers of the feminist and Reproductive Rights movement like Margaret Sanger were ardent eugenicists."
