GYNS I went to a restaurant today and the men’s washroom had been converted into the “all genders” one and they LEFT THE WOMENS ALONE

Tumblr, buddy, listen to me. This is an unprecedented opportunity. You can snap up all of the pie here, and become defacto internet goodguy easy. All you gotta do is... drop the nsfw ban. Unambiguously. Announce that dicks are back on the menu. You want people subscribed the blogs? You want people to actually use your Post+ function? Porn. Let us use it for porn. The youngins aren't joining this site anyway, you're not competing with tiktok. The vaguely horny 20-40 demographic though? You can have that. You can have all of that. Think about it.
“Women who have objections to marriage, I have no problem with. Men who vocally object to marriage from the left, claiming some sort of ideological purity, I find laughable. The refrain of “let’s not sign any PAPERS, that’s giving in to the MAN, man” started being used by leftist men in the mid to late 1960s. Not particularly coincidentally, this is when the women’s movement was making huge strides in getting no-fault divorce laws into legislatures, eventually seeing the first passage of such a law in California in 1969. Once women made huge strides in custody and divorce proceedings, and could divorce men without having to submit onerous requirements of proof, leftist men suddenly decided they could do without the “oppressive institution” of marriage. Cohabitation still means, due to resource disparities between men and women, that cohabiting women in hetero relationships (especially impoverished ones) often find themselves homeless and propertyless after a breakup. Divorce provides an arbitration mechanism for the fair division of property obtained in the marriage and a separation of property obtained prior to the marriage. Women who are against marriage often have sound reasons. Men are typically rather transparently self-serving.”

What cultural relativism is good for: understanding in some countries bugs are a delicacy and that isn’t ‘gross’, red means luck in some places and war in others, death is a great tragedy in some places and a celebration of life in others, etc.
What cultural relativism is not good for: justifying child brides, justifying domestic abuse and sexual slavery, justifying the generalized rape and harm and misogynistic practices against women and girls, etc.
I love how we are supposed to think that men have a monopoly on logic and rationality when one of their favorite problem-solving strategies is “kill my entire family and then myself”
I love Twitch. I click on a female streamer and within 30 seconds a man is in her chat telling her to go back in the kitchen. One minute later another man is asking for pictures of her feet. I click on another female streamer and she's explaining why she can't put the webcam on: she's had fake lashes put on her and her eyes are red, swollen, crying and burning. She's in so much pain. But it's okay she always gets allergic reactions when she gets fake eye lashes. I click on a male streamer and his girlfriend is hand feeding him dinner so he can keep his hands on the keyboard and play his little game. In response he keeps repeating "you're so pretty oh my god you're so pretty you look incredibly pretty today". His chat is full of men calling the woman "our girlfriend". Twitch keeps recommending me that female streamer who does porn. The female streamer with the highest viewercount among women. A male streamer is anxious to play an online game with vocal chat. He tells his 10k viewers that he's scared another player will say something offensive and he'll get banned from Twitch. In the end he decides to try it, he plays with another guy and it goes well, then he plays with a woman and his chat becomes so misogynistic his moderators have to disable it for a while. I stream myself and try a virtual avatar for the first time, I try to make her look like me. A regular viewer immediately asks me if my breasts are as big in real life. I put my avatar in a wide shirt for a week after that, before ditching the avatar altogether. I receive a private message from a man with a fetish telling me to punish him for saying women can't play video games. He's spamming all women. He made a special account for it. Male streamers' chat are filled with rape jokes inspired by porn. A man who calls his girlfriend a bitch says he won't be playing the Harry Potter game because it's disrespectful to trans people. Many female streamers appear all dolled up under a pink light with a pink catgirl headset the camera titled towards their breasts. Or they use a hentai virtual avatar. All male streamers look like they haven't washed in a month.
have a hog wild weekend
I like how men tell us that periods are somehow simultaneously “not that bad” and also bad enough that we shouldn’t be allowed to hold positions of power.
It's literally crazy seeing people foam at the mouth about radfems, as if feminists are these dangerous evil murderers that are watching their every move and just waiting to kill a trans person because they just hate them soo much. If it's a man saying it the male socialization is so obvious, they just really enjoy beating women down and making sure women know that if you step out of line even once (by talking about feminism too much or something) they WILL threaten to rape you or beat you, and they will get everyone on their side because "feminazis". You can see that they've clearly waited for the moment when it's acceptable to openly hate and threaten women; now you'll even be praised for it.
If it's a woman saying it, the internalized misogyny is so obvious; they're trying so hard to show men that "See, I'm not one of those crazy feminazis, I'm on your side", they're trying to stay safe from being the next woman labeled a fascist because she reblogged too many posts about women's rights or talked about periods or having a vulva or even thought about all the women and girls suffering and dying because of sex-based oppression. So they'll gladly throw other women to the wolves and let them be ridiculed, threathened or stalked to have a fleeting feeling of being safe from misogyny themselves. But they never will, because the moment you dare to think and speak for yourself you will also be called a terf, swerf or a fascist for thinking that women are oppressed by men for being women.
