I made a post about male suicide a while back and got a lot of shit.
I just wanted to tell you that a friend of mine works for Samaritan health service for their suicide hotline. She told me a 'funny' story.
The majority of her time is spent screening and blocking phone numbers so that the lines are free for people who need help. Why does she have to do this ? Hundreds of times a day men would call up while masturbating, of course they would only stay on the line if the operator was female, which the majority are.
Men have always taken advantage of women's kindness and they always will. It is not our job.
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.
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.
I think public harassment of ugly women by men needs to be talked about seriously as a form of gender-based harassment just like more stereotypical sexualized cat-calling, as someone who has somehow experienced both lol, they both damaged my self-esteem just in different ways. I feel like people incl some feminists'don't want to acknowledge how much outright harassment unattractive women can face, like "unattractive women are invisible / ignored" isn't always unrue but it's not the whole story,
real! i feel like feminists are sometimes unwilling to acknowledge the shit faced by women who are not conventionally attractive bc they don’t wanna say anyone is ugly, but it is true that “ugly” women, especially fat women, face a unique type of bullshit and harassment that attractive women don’t. i recently saw an insta reel by a fat but otherwise not ugly woman about how terribly men treat women they don’t find attractive and the comments were full of men saying the most vile shit.
"...who want nothing from you..."
But, they want everything from you. They want unrestricted unquestioned access to exclusive female & gay male spaces... they want to control how others refer to & perceive them... they want complete commodification of the language on how we talk about biological sex... and they want silence, punishment, & ostracisation for those who disagree with them in any capacity.
Of course we can empathise with the trans struggle & be respectful of medial things like an individual's pronouns & making sure all people have a seat at the metaphorical table, but when we're called "transphobic" or "fascist" for saying biological sex is real, women face sex-based oppression, and that lesbians & gay men aren't interested in the opposite sex, my respect has its limits. You will not run around screaming transphobia while being misogynistic & homophobic at the same time.
Pedro claimed full intellectual bankruptcy with this quote.
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
“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 always think about that study where they had adults hold a baby, and when they were told the baby was a girl the adults said she was cute and small, and when they were told the baby was a boy they said he was big and strong. they rated the baby’s ability to do things and tendency towards certain toys differently. they even held the baby differently. (x) or when they rated the baby’s physical ability to do various tasks such as climbing up a slope differently, (x) & when they measured how much parents told their girl children vs. their boy children to be careful and stop being so rowdy (x), & when they measured how often girls and boys were told to be quiet. (x) this was, obviously, all unconscious behavior in the adults. they’re not all like, raving sexists who outspokenly believe that women can’t do stuff or that girls really should just be quieter, be more still than boys. like its not even counting the direct, actual messages, its just literally how every single person in your entire life treats you, and if asked they would probably deny that its even because you’re a girl. how the fuck am i supposed to believe this doesn’t affect a child’s development when its literally constant throughout the entire process
I love to see the general public finally waking tf up
Guess what group has been talking about all these things for years and was demonized, shamed and threatend for it 🤔
A woman on tiktok makes a video about how b*tch is a slur:

Can someone just do it already
