Invisible Women: men who hate women

A message to the men who don't

“why do you hate men?”

do i? do i hate men? i don’t think so.

hatred is rape. hatred is femicide. hatred is the fact that women are most likely to be murdered by their boyfriend or husband. hatred is nailing dead rats to female safe spaces. hatred is making majority of women afraid of what could happen to them if they go outside at night. hatred is intentionally invoking fear in women just because you can. hatred is female genital mutilation. hatred is the husband stitch. hatred is getting off on women’s abuse, suffering, and degradation. hatred is objectification. hatred is dehumanization. hatred is sex trafficking. hatred is the buying and selling of female bodies as if they’re an object. hatred is being disgusted by women’s natural bodies. hatred is expecting women to shave off every inch of their body hair and cover their faces so they live up to your expectations and ridiculing them if they don’t. hatred is making women ashamed of their natural bodies.

if you want to call my anger and frustration at men’s behavior “hatred”, than my hatred is reactionary. men hated us first. misogyny and misandry are not the same.

This was not the movie I thought it was going to be, and that was a good thing, until a certain point. The ending left me feeling pissed off, and the more I think about it, the more tragic, rather than triumphant, the ending is.

Spoilers under the cut.

The only wrong abortion is that which women are forced or coerced into getting. All the rest are good actually, yes all of them.

the fact that even just saying you like jkr gets you forever labeled a bigot but all the ppl who openly supported depp get to quietly withdraw back to normalcy. no one sees an issue with that? especially considering one beat a woman & the other has donated millions to women. with the utmost sincerity, if you genuinely think jkr is some sort of dangerous transphobe I think you’ve got to be one of the dumbest fucking people on the planet. you lack the most basic critical thinking skills and follow along with whatever you’re told like a naive child. I mean it’s been years now and it genuinely baffles me. not once has she said anything bigoted. no one can even back their arguments of this claim. it’s just been decided and so the crowd follows.

In 1912 Alfred Wegener proposed a controversial theory about how the Earth’s land masses formed. He said the great continents had once formed a single landmass, which had broken up over time. The idea went against all conventional ideas, and was roundly dismissed.

It took the work of young cartographer Marie Tharp to prove him right.

In 1947, she worked on a team that were running expeditions around the world, mapping the ocean floors with echolocation. However, Marie wasn’t allowed on the missions because women were seen as ‘bad luck’…

But the work she did back at the university was invaluable. Converting endless data into detailed profiles, she realised that the ocean floor isn’t a flat, featureless plane, but a complex, varied landscape.

Most importantly, she spotted a long, V-shaped valley in each of her profiles: a rift valley that supported Wegener’s theory, formed by two land masses moving apart, splitting the ocean floor in two.

But even with this evidence, Tharp’s ideas were dismissed as ‘girl talk’.

She then realised that her profiles tied in with worldwide earthquake maps being developed by a colleague.

The mounting evidence started to convince some sceptics, but not all. Renowned explorer Jacques Cousteau was so unconvinced that he sent an expedition to film the ocean floor and clear things up once and for all. What did his footage show? Exactly what Tharp had predicted.

Tharp’s steadfast determination had paved the way for Wegener’s continental drift theory to gain traction. As the tide of opposition waned, it gave birth to our modern understanding of plate tectonics and secured Tharp’s position as one of the most outstanding cartographers of the 20th century.
