if the usamerican civil war was happening now instead of the 1800s you would see posts on here like "im literally disabled and i need a slave to function"
THE SYSTEM PICKS THOSE WHO ARE NO THREAT TO IT
theres a phenomenon that happens on here i have been calling "normalize loving parents posting" which is when you spend a lot of time on tumblr and are exposed to a lot of one specific counter-cultural narrative day in and day out until you start to forget what the dominant ideas are for most of the human population and thus feel the need to "defend" things that are widely accepted and popular. it's called this because of the time a bunch of text posts about shitty dads were circulating and then people with good relationships with their dad didn't feel included enough and started making "uhmmm can we normalize loving parents? not everyone has a deadbeat dad, MY dad is great" type posts, seemingly forgetting that good relationship with dad is a cultural norm that is expected and encouraged. i think its good practice, especially when im annoyed, to stop before i hit the post button and ask myself if this is a real issue or if im normalize loving parents posting. because often im about to try to normalize loving parents
Types of women/red flags to avoid in friendships.
Women who always complain about everything
Women who seek to embarass you in front of others.
Women who dont acknowledge you in front of others.
Women who often -subtly- put you down.
Women who constantly tell you when other people say something bad about you
Yes-gyns. Women who always blindly agree with everything you say.
Women who always make excuses
MaIe-crazy women.
Women who dont respect boundaries.
If you're thinking of someone as you're reading all of this or the moment you saw "friendship red flags" - it's a sign to start moving on from them especially if they're draining you more than fulfilling you.
Will update this with link to longer post later.
“yall never criticize men like this” says radfem… here’s the thing. women DO criticize men for their behavior, men don’t listen, why waste time on men? when a woman is catering to men (i.e the female singers that are very much catering to men and the patriarchy chappell roan and sabrina carpenter and sooo many more), as a woman, im not gonna sit back and allow them to make us all look like doormats. SORRY. im not gonna sit back and watch them reinforce stupid stereotypes onto little girls and women. it’s not in my nature, it’s not who i am. that weak bullshit is why we’re always gonna be where we’re at. we need to address problems , just because it’s a woman doesn’t mean that it’s feminist to just shut up and call her a victim. some of u need to go back to ur little libfem spaces and stfu.
If I'm being honest I think that the worsening of boys grades in school over the past few decades is due to the rise in single motherhood. I mean let's be real, most heterosexual women are pathetic pick mes. When they have sons they refuse to discipline them and baby and coddle the crap out of them. Most mothers will sniff the farts of their sons and say it smells good. On the other hand, these women will treat their daughters like they are never good enough, which leads their daughters to try everything they can to be worthy of their love. So is it any surprise that the daughters of these women generally get better grades than their sons?
some of y'all are strong, brave and invincible feminist women until a woman on tumblr.com implies that separatism is a good idea and that women should try to stop dating men for feminism and safety reasons, then there's no strength or bravery left it's literally too much to handle and you're all crying and shaking in your boots. grow a fucking spine
If you are young do not be swayed by the whole "identity" shitck. It is a mumbo jumbo word salad to make people feel special, it is purely egoic, nonsensical, and sometimes fandom induced grown up play pretend. Notice how EVERYTHING has become an identity? Mental illness (sometimes physical), sex, sexuality... It all implies that this thing here, yeah, that thing? It can be identified into, you can "become" it on a knee jerk reaction and NOBODY will (at least in their fantasies) question it. And so far this is how it is! Combine it with internet shushing everyone up for questioning the validity of the said identities with threats of accusing them of being problematic and justifying wrong identification as "soul searching" or "exploration" and here you have it! Perfect business plan!
Not to mention how this whole thing has taken off with mental illness, and it becoming a new identity, a shiny, new, fresh, counter culture and subversive label you can PROUDLY wear for no reason. The only "gross" symptoms people managed to normalise were not being able to get up from bed and wash yourself, two of which are very easy to fake. Some people, and you have to admit it at this point, use the whole mental health awareness thing as new technique to learn new ways of manipulation and faking it. And if you question ANYTHING you are ableist. The whole "Men go to therapy to manipulate better" is true, but it also applies to a bunch of people here.
