I Actually Fucking Hate It Here, When Will Women Wake The Fuck Up.

Misogyny on the Harry Potter sub is crazy. Everyone bending over backwards to villainize Hermione while defending Ron, James, Snape, Sirius, Draco, and every other dickhead in the series, ten bajillion “Umbridge is worse than Voldemort” posts and comments…this is why I stay away from fandoms.

And then a braindead post about Hermione being an insufferable, close-minded know it all today…yeah, I think you tend to seem like a “bossy know it all” when you’re the most intelligent, capable witch of your age and no one listens to you. Also calling her sadistic and cruel when she:

1: Manages to shut up a journalist whose entire career centered around discrediting, bullying, and lying about a teenage boy, half-humans who never harmed anyone, and an elderly man. Rita Skeeta stalked children for tabloid stories, ruined careers, and spread disinformation that massively delayed any widespread action against fucking wizard hitler.

2: Jinxes another student who sold out dozens of her peers, including her friends, to Dolores Umbridge, an actual sadistic freak who routinely tortures children. It’s fucking acne, Marietta will get over it.

3: Is jealous because the boy she likes is going out with someone else and being an insensitive asshole to her…? I think pretty much any teenager would conjure birds to peck at their longtime friend turned crush in this situation. It’s not like she fucking castrated him Jesus Christ 😭

And then people saying she’s unempathetic and mean spirited…the girl who wanted to help everyone, to her own detriment…

Hermione, they’ll never make me hate you.

i love you aileen

The way Islam talks about poor ppl: 🥰❤️🌸

Islam about women: ☠️🔥🔥☠️🔥☠️

a man will hold a gun to your head and be like “if men and women are so equal why am i holding a gun to your head 😂”

Only a deeply misogynist society would enshrine the ideals that womanhood can solely be defined by a feeling in a man’s head, but cannot be solely defined by women’s biology, our lived realities (and oppressions) faced by being female sexed.

Something I noticed when I was stripping was that the younger, “hipper,” generally white patrons I came into contact with were by far the most vested in the whole “emotionally invasive performance of enthusiastic consent” thing. They all wanted to hear how I was doing it because I was “empowered” or an “exhibitionist” or just “a slutty sexual deviant that just does this for fun.” Like, I can’t even tell you how many times I actively encouraged this or worked it into a spiel, because nothing kills a sale like a pang of conscience alerting men that maybe this smart, seemingly stable girl doesn’t want to be here. I think that thinking I was “into it” somehow made it easier for them to feel like they weren’t just giant losers paying for sex.

I am entirely convinced that men only care about women being “empowered” by things like sex work because its easier on their ego as consumers, not because they give a shit about our wellbeing. Sex positive feminism is a dream come true for these men - all the benefits of exploiting women as sexual commodities without any guilt or stigma for being a creepy ass john.

pet peeve: when a male, a group of men or a male-dominated government/regime commit an act of incomprehensible violence and people lament the nature of “humans” or “people”.

I'm really really really really really tired of watching TRAs (especially the male ones, trans identifying or otherwise) misuse terms like "terf" and "radfem" to anything they don't like. No, Trump is not a "terf", Elon is not a "terf", read a fucking book istg

A cervical cancer charity (JoTrust) has the term "bonus hole" in their official glossary.
