People say men and women are equally bad but women don’t go round shouting rape threats at men in dark parking lots now do we

this website’s attitude toward gender non-conforming children and its universal insistence that boys who wear skirts aren’t really boys and girls who like short hair and non-feminine colors aren’t really girls is SO primitive and harmful.

how is ~othering~ children who don’t meet your performance standards for their sex NOT reinforcing oppressive patriarchal gender roles and expectations?

90% of pregnancy plotlines

I rly hate the Satanic Panic & the moral panic surrounding violence in video games in the 90s, coz it's now impossible to talk about the social implications of violent video games in a realistic sense.

No, violence in video games does not create serial killers in the way most people imagine it would.

However, it's very important to notice how after 9/11, a lot of violent video games pivoted their content from silly gratuitous cartoon gore to more realistic military shooters set in the Levant from a US American lens. It's also important to notice the connection of these games & their toxic online multi-player voice chats to Gamer Gate in 2014.

It's obviously not as black & white as it was presented in the 80s & 90s, I dont think everyone who played early Call of Duty games is a white supremacist who wants to join the military to kill people in the middle east, but I think it's dangerous to pretend like video games or any media can't have an impact on the way people think about violence.

I think what makes all the difference here is how that violence is portrayed, what the message behind it is, what the motives are behind the people who crafted that message, who the victims of that violence are, how they are portrayed & the greater cultural context that surrounds it.

”I never see you in the club” I never see you having violent meltdowns alone in your room and hitting yourself but ok

"Research... tells us over and over that when men kill their female partners or ex-partners, it usually follows months or years of abusing her. On the other hand, when women kill their husbands or exes, it's usually after months or years of having been abused by the man they have killed." - Kerry Daynes, The Dark Side of the Mind

"trans ally" gay celeb men like troye sivan and pedro pascal etc will wear "protect the dolls" tshirts and spend all their time on social media saying TWAW, but won't eat a transman's pussy. despite all their posturing, their actions show that they know transwomen are men and therefore deserving of their time and energy, whereas transmen are women and therefore a forgotten afterthought. the uk supreme court's ruling that sex is biological affected both transmen and transwomen equally, and yet i have seen zero gay celeb men posting about how transmen are real men. it's allllll been about the transwomen.

no one has class solidarity quite like the male sex.

Are you like, stupid?

i wish men were as disgusted with rape as they are with periods

“How are you going to enforce female only spaces? Genital checks at the door?!”

No, we were hoping that males would respect women enough to not enter our spaces. But thanks for being honest and admitting that you don’t think they’re capable of such respect.
