It's Absolutely Cruel To Women In General To Have Gender Neutral Bathrooms Replacing Women's Rooms, But

do people not understand that the point of legalizing sex work is regulating sex work. so that sex workers can like, be legally protected if they experience violence and such violence can be prevented by putting legal guard rails in place. instead of our current system that leaves sex workers with no recourse or protection

thinking about when a very attractive young woman wearing a home depot uniform posted a completely normal selfie on her twitter and then when it blew up men were immediately asking “when’s the OF dropping??” and when she said “I would never make an OF” a bunch of OF creators were upset about it and acted like this woman not wanting to do it was a personal insult toward them

the way everyone felt so fucking comfortable trying to push and guilt this woman into joining OF is just another reminder that if even one woman has a price tag, the rest of us will just be seen as products that haven’t been put on the market yet

i think the takes that have gotten me the most hate on here are:

children are people and it’s not appropriate to randomly insult them

smoking etiquette is generally context dependent and “this is rude” isn’t the same as “this is an unforgivable sin”

it’s not women and minorities’ fault that white men become nazis

natalie portman radiates such a terrifying energy i can’t describe it….. it’s not exactly evil but it’s not warm either…. i feel like she could unhinge her jaw and drag me into the ocean like a kraken but she wouldn’t bc it’s undignified 

Instead of asking people "do you support trans rights", we should ask if they supports actual demands of trans activists. Because it's easy to support a popular label. The real test is to see if people are actually in favor of what lies behind it (just like instead of asking if people support feminism, we must ask if they're in favor of various womens rights).

A few examples of questions :

Do you support the right of male people to legally identify as women ?

Are you in favor of mixed-sex prisons ? Changing rooms ? Public toilets ? Support groups ?

Do you think medical treatment should be tested for a specific use before it's available for that use ?

How do you feel about taxpayers moey going to non-medically essential procedures for trans people who wants them ?

Do you think biological sex should be legally erased ?

Are you in favor of medical treatment preventing fertility for minor patients without medical problems ?

Do you think people should be able to dress however they want as long as it's not sexual in public spaces ?

Don't hesitate to propose your own questions. Doesn't have to be about harmful practices of the trans activists. Just has to be clear and objective points of trans rights.

The original idea for this post comes from @stumblngrumbl

I was watching a documentary called the “State of Alabama vs. Brittany Smith”. It’s about a woman who killed her rapist (who, at the time of his slaying, had her brother in a chokehold). Something in it stuck with me.

When the prosecutor was speaking to her, he asked something along the line of, “Did the [perpetrator] have any visible weapons on him?”

She responded with, “His hands.”

Then he asks again, “Did the [perpetrator] have any-“”

She interrupts him and says, “His penis.”

He speaks again and then she says, “His mouth.”

It just stuck with me because…it’s so right. Men’s hands, especially men’s penises, their mouths, their whole bodies, are weapons, especially towards women. Men are significantly stronger than women physically and yeah, that matters. A woman has no or very little chance of physically defending herself against a male without a weapon, and even that’s very risky depending on the laws in your country. Men use their bodies to hit women, punch women, slap women, rape women, violate women in ways almost incomparable to when used against other men.

Considering how men view women, how they view themselves, how they view masculinity, how they view sex, women and girls have every right to be cautious around men and “picky” about the ones they have in their lives.

Do they though..do they really…

She Told a Guy She Worked at an Abortion Clinic. On Their Next Date, He Raped Her.

Clinic director Calla Hales was a victim of the extreme violence abortion providers face simply for doing their jobs and helping women.

I know Calla. 

This is disgusting and heartbreaking. 

omg i am so over pop stars dressing in degrading sexualized outfits or like chappell roan dressing as a sex doll for drag race and then people are like "these people are just subverting misogyny" "it's a statement" i'm sorry i would have believed that awhile ago i guess if any of these people made any meaningful statements about how women are objectified and mistreated along these lines but at this point in my most extremist moments i truly start to believe that entertainment media is just like a massive apparatus of like priming women to accept and celebrate our own oppression. "this outfit is so cunty" and it's just a woman pandering to the male gaze shamelessly. you can be just as cool and glamorous as these people if you let men treat you like a sex toy. yeah fucking right

“my legally protected gender” must be nice. i wish women had like, legally protected humanity
