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.
shit like this has bothered me since forever and I only realize why now, its because they try to break norms without going all the way through, to the point of going backwards. Yes, a man can be pretty and soft BUT that makes him a princess! Or a wife! Or a material girl!
Notice how the essential social meaning of princess and wife never change. Notice how they have trouble wanting to consider that pretty men can be pretty princes, or pretty husbands. Notice how the roles associated with these words (wife and husband will always mean entirely different things to them) never change. They cannot fathom it, and because they do not want to think without the base of stereotypical gender.
Its all 'FUCK GENDER ROLES', but babes you depend on them so much. Your whole ideology would crumble and you wouldn't feel so special anymore without those stereotypes. Which is why progress on gender roles is not only stagnating but actively regressing, now anyone can opt into boxes that should have been destroyed long ago for the sake of true progress, but are being kept around for decoration.
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.
the biggest bullshit everrrrr is when people say "men and boys are punished for crying whereas women and girls are validated and comforted" it's such bullshit people will literally see a woman crying and call her an evil manipulative bitch
You are either 13 or extremely stupid.
Sex is why women are opressed
Gender is how
idk y’all should treat fat men better. and i don’t mean mildly chubby guys i mean honest-to-god love-handles-and-double-chins fat guys. stop calling them shit like discord mods or gross weebs or nasty creeps or neckbeards or that they’re stinky or sweaty or beer bellied or whatever else. fatphobia isn’t cute, even repackaged in a neat little box of “ew men”
“emasculating” is a euphemism for “demeaning in a way only women should have to suffer”
I think what people dont realize is pedophilia literally IS the default male sexuality. what are the beauty standards for women? oh, shaved armpits, shaved legs, shaved pussy, tiny bodyframe. hmmm what does this remind me of?
go watch an anime, idc what anyone is saying, those "women" are depicted as CHILDREN. go watch any show or movie, there will I guarantee you be a middle aged man with a wife who has barely any wrinkles. there are countless other examples. just look around you.
And this all without even mentioning the Australian university study that found out 1 in 5 of males are pedos. women need to wake up.
"this is where your Harry Potter money goes!"
good ✌🏼
smthing i can just never believe when ppl (mostly twitter users) complain about a girl character being made to look 'mannish' or 'masculine' and talk about the death of femininity and every time i get excited and think 'oh okay cool did we get a butch character or-' and its literally jusg a regular fucking woman like you would see at the grocery store. like jusyt a normal woman
i wish men were as disgusted with rape as they are with periods
