seeing people treat their female babies like dolls pisses me off so bad. why does a six month old need pierced ears. let that baby wear something she can get dirty and play in

WHAT FUCKING YEAR IS IT

If eyeliner grants women more power, why does it not grant men more power? Who is granting women power when they wear eyeliner? Why? What kind of power is it?

If eyeliner is worn almost entirely by women and wearing eyeliner "sharp enough to kill a man" is feminist, which specific feminist issue does eyeliner tackle (menstrual health, sexual harassment, medical misogyny, domestic violence shelters)?

How does eyeliner liberate you from the patriarchy (not make you feel good, liberate you ― there's a difference)?

bites u but i have abandonment issues so i never let go and am now a permanent ornament to your person

HER BRAIN

it amazes me how before the different branches of feminism had polite debates on their ideologies and could agree to disagree and live pacifically but nowadays if you say you're anti porn people tell you to kill yourself.

Women vs men getting canceled

I just noticed one thing about the reasons men and women are getting canceled. My main point (aka TLDR): a woman is criticized for what she said, and a man for what he did. Here's an example.

There's a female content creator named Omocat. She made a game called Omori, which has been pretty successful. But there's been a controversy going around her since 2014. So, you may find proof on the internet, I'm just telling you real quick. So, she joked about shotacon back in 2012-2013 and also made a shirt merch design with the word 'shota' on it. She apologized, two years later, and stopped selling that shirt. After that, she said nothing controversial, but people came at her in 2020, just before she was about to release her game. The controversy was always going somewhere in the background, but literally yesterday she wrote that this shit was going anew, and she again explained herself.

Her actions were problematic, but a lot changed in ten years, right?

Now, here's the controversy surrounding another part of the Omocat's team, the main game composer, Pedro Silva. It's on the screenshot because I'm too lazy to write that down, and If you wish you can find out more on the internet.

As we see, Pedro Silva got canceled because he (they, whatever) literally ABUSED his partners, and If I had to believe this Redditor, it was not so long ago before the game was launched. Interestingly enough, as you see the thing I underlined, fandom somehow came to blame Omocat, as If she was responsible for his actions.

I can't give much more examples, but If you do, you can reblog this, whatever. I'm not really following any internet drama surrounding celebrities and media people, but since I love her game, I had to check it out.

Tho I remember the controversy around Jenna Marbles in 2019-2020, for the 'blackface' in her 2012 video. Can you see the pattern I'm talking about?

Or even JK Rowling! Did she kill, rape, or abuse any trans person? No, but it was enough for TRAs to cancel her. For her words. For what she said, not did.

While women are criticized for everything they say/do, If it's fair or not, men get canceled for doing atrocious, wicked things. And sometimes they even don't! Yes, Depp sympathizers, I'm looking at you. Can you imagine how many men could have gotten canceled for being racist, anti-semitic, homophobic, ableist... Don't even get me started on misogynistic.

Gyns, do you feel this was too? I'm just curious If it's a big, big pattern or if I'm just basing this off a few situations. Anyways, share you opinion or something, I would be glad to hear it!

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.
