Hate Them - Blog Posts

2 months ago

YEAH. Like just because you reject one extreme doesn't mean you follow another. It reminds me of one post going "Boys are so academic core and girls are cottage core UwU" like BRO. What are you doing? The entire point of this is NOT putting people in boxes.

I have like this half formed idea that young women who are on the surface politically liberal, have also fallen into conservative thought pipelines, that are more subtle because they aren't from "RACIST GAMER PODCAST" and are instead from Emily on tiktok who is just recommending a lip gloss or whatever.

But it's similar. Like they use liberalisms to justify modesty, and to be anti porn and sex work, and to be pro makeup and refuse to unpack the anti feminist nature of the beauty industry. Like a lot of the things they use liberalisms to call "problematic" are right in line with more conservative beliefs.

Things like "girl dinner" "I'm just a girl" "demure and mindful" all of these are gender essentialist and infantalising to women and in line with a more conservative approach to femininity.

Which is scary because they are a lot closer to falling further into conservative ideas. They don't even have to own the identity of conservative to push the broader cultural agenda.

We see this in discourse around sex and sexuality a lot from young women.

In any case, we need serious education on the actual philosophies of feminism, and to push back against anyone pushing ideas of cultural modesty. Modesty is not a virtue, it's oppressive "oh but I just like it this way" have you unpacked why that is?

Not to mention it's bringing on a new wave of body image issues.

TERFS DNI this post is about all women

the concept of dennis falling too early and mac falling too late and them just missing each other as dennis got sick of their codependency while mac finally came out of the closet for good ..

thinking about mac getting up every morning to peel an apple for dennis and dennis waking up to the familiar sound of mac bustling around in the kitchen every day without fail; mac, brushing his teeth, having to stand on his tip-toes because dennis is standing in front of him peering at the mirror as he applies his mascara; their shoes and jackets by the door, their keys hung up side-by-side and sometimes mac grabs both of them to toss dennis his as they leave the apartment. thinking about their apartment, their kitchen, their bathroom, their movie nights, their monthly dinners, and the small bits of domesticity that exist in their life together even if they refuse to acknowledge it.
