I think perhaps my hottest radfem take is that gay men are not our allies. Not wanting to have sex with women does not make them less dangerous than men who sexualize us, it makes them arguably worse.

Gay men use women’s bodies as “performance art” with drag. They colonize black women’s language as their own. They insidiously occupy our spaces under the guise of safety because they claim they have no interest in us sexually, and yet ignore our boundaries when we exclude men from certain activities or places. And they behave as if being gay absolves them of their role in oppressive systems, especially if they are white.

Gay men do not stand for women, even for lesbian women. They stand for themselves, because they are men, and as such will always value class solidarity with other men above women’s liberation.

My essential argument is that men will be men, regardless of their sexuality. Do not allow gay men to claim innocence when their interest in women is exploitative instead of predatory.

doing something beautiful, something healing, something harmless is my revenge to the world.

in a situation where everything seems to be sick, harmed, evil to the core, doing something good, even if it's a small thing, might be empowering.

don't act against.

act for.

The _white savior_ narrative in the way it is portrayed in 80's romance movies but in gender reverce

A white woman who comes as a part of some expedition to the distant exotic lands falls in love with a local man.

«but he's a savage» her sister says as she tells her about her situation.

«yeah I know» she replies «but he's a man, isn't it's what he's supposed to be?»

«yeah, but he has no etiquette and would probably treat a woman like you poorly»

«but sister dear you are married to a white man, and I can't really see any difference»

Dear video essay creators. A video analysis is when you analyze a piece of media. No no look at me. A summary, no matter how thorough, is not an analysis. An analysis requires you to draw conclusions about the media such as authorial intent, real-world parallels, discussion about themes/worldbuilding/character motivation, and so much more. You have to stop summarizing something and saying that’s analysis. The Gaylors are doing more critical analysis than you. Is that who you want to lose to? The gaylors?

Any time I catch myself thinking it's weirdly specific that stories involving the beheading game were an entire genre of medieval literature, I remind myself that the TV Tropes page for media where the cast get shrunk really small and go inside someone's body in a tiny submarine is at the time of this posting nearly 300 entries long
