"No One Can Love You Until You Love Yourself" Is Like The Worst Possible Way Of Articulating "if You

i hate this fucking "i'm just a girl" brand of feminism bc it is so easy for young women in their 20s who are afraid of big changes and personal growth to revert to depending on their gender and the associated fragility of it so that they can make it through life when really they're just trapping themselves in a position where they cannot and will not grow out of that fear.

i don't mean to sound like a total slut but $20,000 would fix all my problems right now

Sometimes, you post on tumblr.com saying that women’s evils are not “better” evils just bc they’re women, thinking that most people will agree because obviously, if a person does a Bad Thing, it is a Bad Thing, regardless of gender. You go along with the assumption that most people have the critical thinking to know that “yes, gender does not negate horrible things people do” and you think maybe these people will scroll along or leave a little heart and go about their merry ways.

Unfortunately, you did not expect to accidentally summon every terf in a 50 mile radius who can’t decide if you’re a typical icky man or self-hating woman, and they all proceed to say “nuh uh all the cool girls are committing property damage and assaulting people” (deadass a thing I was told).

So for all those terfs who were in my reposts and anyone else who might be here, let me clarify:

The phrase “I’m just a girl” is infantilizing. It plays into the idea that women are helpless and have no agency to their choices. It opens the doors for passive misogyny and perpetuates the idea of a “weak woman”

And I stand by what I originally said, if you’re a grown ass woman who assaults someone, damages property, steals, blackmails, abuses, or dare I say murders someone, YOU!! DID!! A BAD!!! THING!!!

THE BAD THINGS YOU DO ARE NOT LESS BAD BECAUSE YOU ARE A WOMAN!!!!

And PS, I am an icky icky man >;P

please think of the disabled people of gaza. please think of the diabetic people of gaza. please think of the neurodivergent people of gaza. please think of those whose lives are relying on medicine that has either stopped coming in due to the blockade, or is available in such scarcity that its price has skyrocketed.

we're approaching winter. on top of the challenge of securing waterproof tents and sufficiently warm clothing, some diabetic people in gaza have stopped taking their insulin as they can no longer afford it. those who are able to acquire it for now know every shot may be their last.

owning a polaroid camera and then not even using it to take creepshots or sleeping photos of your friend to hide under your bed is false advertising. either get a regular camera or start acting like a pervert

since it’s a scary time to be trans: refuge restrooms is an app which maps gender-neutral/single-stall restrooms. it’s community-mapped, so it’s possible you might be the first person to log the restroom locations, but hopefully it’ll help some people.

please reblog this post if you’ve got trans followers. stay safe.

Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.

Reminder that every TERF supports mutilation of intersex children, it is inherent to their ideology.

Just an extremely Normal thing to say

Reminder they want to increase the budget for ICE from 3.5 to 45 billion dollars.

Reminder the majority of that will be for building new detention centers.

Reminder ICE are *currently* detaining tourists who can pay for a plane ticket home and people with visa issues that were already resolved, because they have to make quota so Trump can brag about the numbers going up.

Reminder most of these people were already in the immigration system - that's why they were easy to detain.

Reminder this is all at taxpayer expense.

Reminder these are people.
