They say that feminists and dykes are only one misogynistic cock away from becoming fucktoys. As a former radical feminist and lesbian, I can tell you 💯 this is correct. All it took was one Dyke Breaking Alpha Male and I was back to being a cock swallowing fuckdoll.

The worst part about the "mansplainer Gale truthers" is that it comes with a fundamental misunderstanding of what mansplaining is. To mansplain is to have a subconscious bias against women or queer people that makes a (cishet, white) man assume he knows better than someone else without evidence (or despite evidence to the contrary), and as such condescendingly over-explain common or industry-standard information to them. One of the formative essays on the topic, published in 'Men Explain Things To Me' by Rebecca Solnit, is about an anecdote wherein the author introduced herself as a writer to a man who then explained her own essay to her, while bulldozing any attempt by her and a female friend to reveal that she'd in fact written the book that he was pretending to be an expert on. The man listened to her introduce herself as a writer on a particular topic, and had so little respect for her intelligence that he thought he would explain the subject to someone that had just told him she was an expert, while he himself admitted to only ever reading the blurb of her book.

While Gale being condescending is to some degree a matter of interpretation, it is objectively true that he knows more than the player, regardless of class choice. He was an archmage and Mystra's chosen, if the player was anywhere near his level of expertise he would've known about them already, especially if they're a wizard (which is the only magic class that goes through formal educational institutions and could be expected to know the things he lore-dumps about). Beyond that, in most of his lore-dump scenes he is addressing the entire party, the only magic user of which (Shadowheart) is also an amnesiac. It's safe to say his assumption that he knows more about magic/magic history than the rest of you is both valid and accurate.

It isn't mainsplaining when literally one of the top 10 experts in a given field explains something to you, and misusing the term just invalidates people who actually experience and try to call out mansplaining. Mansplaining originated in an uneducated guy believing he had the right to explain a subject to a woman he knew to be an expert. Literally all Gale's done his entire life is study magic, let the man infodump.

#he is real and lovely to me #also. how entitled. to have God's (former) Favourite Magician in your party and act like he's a bad guy for knowing more than you #if ANYONE is allowed to infodump it's the until-recently-reigning champion of Knowing Shit About Magic #also men explain things to me is both an informative and also just a well-written essay collection. great intro to feminist theory #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #baldurs gate 3 #baldur's gate

If a man engages in domestic violence but has never hit one of his bosses, he doesn’t have an anger “management” problem, he can manage his emotions just fine, he just thinks it’s morally okay to hit his wife/gf, and or there won’t be consequences for it

#his boss will fire him #but his wife won’t necessarily divorce him #losing income vs losing a relationship #depends on what field he works in it is easier to get a new girlfriend than a new job #most applications want a reference from your former job #whereas women you go on dates with don’t ask for references from previous girlfriends #lundy bancroft #domestic violence #feminism #radical feminists do interact #it’s like the expression #If He Wanted To He Would #but the reverse #If He Didn’t Want To He Wouldn’t

Girls from foster care may be overrepresented among sex trafficking victims due to vulnerabilities such as lack of stable support systems, history of abuse, and a desire for belonging. Grooming involves manipulative tactics to establish trust and control, making individuals more susceptible to exploitation.

Similarly, girls from foster care may be overrepresented in homeless statistics due to factors like aging out of the system without adequate support, experiencing abuse within foster care, and lacking family resources.

Referring to sex trafficking victims as "sex workers" is inappropriate, especially when underage, because it inaccurately implies a choice and ignores the coercion, force, or manipulation involved. Many victims, especially those with histories in the child welfare system, enter the sex industry involuntarily.

The term "sex work" can be deceptive as it implies a voluntary choice, while victims of sex trafficking often face circumstances beyond their control. Recognizing the coercion and exploitation involved is crucial to addressing the issue appropriately.

Anatomy is already sex defined bro and gender is a societal outgrowth of biological sex.

saying that there shouldn't be any practical difference between male & female chests (bare or otherwise) and that people should not be treated differently based on their physical attributes or perceived gender is literally like feminism 101. people have been saying this for generations. get it together

tfwiki the MOST useful feature u could have for me at this point is to simply having a rating for comics/comics writers on the woman (and other marginalities, allegory or not) suckage rating. i dont wanna hear about it. i dont wanna hear about HOW LONG. weve been having cold take shit heads play in the space. just on a scale of arcee was made to appease the feminists to cv/es actual rep of diverse gender AND diverse gender pres. thats all

#some shit #its not called cisformers #IM GONNA" im gonna start lookingat my dash. evenutally. give me a minute #brought on by seeing notes that theres at least one guy who as like. can we make the woman look normal in the comic please? and hasbro said #NO THEY NEED TO LOOK LIKE WOMAN. so people KNOW we have women in our totally girl boss feminist comics #-> they still employ furman to this day #and. previous same guy. IS EDITING OUT. SOUL BASED GENDER. of... trading cards??? for all i know his comics might STILL. suck. to me. #to me. tometome. they only way i can find out if any comic DOESNT suck. is to read them. but. STAMPS MY FOOT. #IT LOOKS WEIRDDDD IN THERE #and b4 u come at me for cartoon bias note how i had to COMIBINE the 2 shows with women cause es has like. normie women. (og chars/cars) #and a concept of gender variance (beast formers/enbies) #and cv has. EVEN. THE ACCEPTABLE CONCEPT. chunkiest tf but women (tanks/butches)

WHAT R UR THOUGHTS ON BUDDY DADDIES EPISODE 8 🙏

I THINK IT WAS OUTSTANDING

First off, from the very first scene with Miri asking Rei where he's going and then saying but his home is here, and he says "THAT'S TRUE". AS TRUE AS HOW MUCH I CRIED UPON HEARING THAT

I think this episode was a great continuation from last episode's Kazuki-focused perspective, where Kazuki accepted to move on and essentially to live in the present from now on, the present that includes Miri and Rei. And now we got to follow Rei trying to find his place and accepting that his heart belongs with the little Kazuki & Miri family that he has little by little become more a part of than he realises.

I think the episode did a great job portraying how conflicted Rei is as he stands in-between having to continue his family business and having found a new home, which he might not necessarily feel like he belongs to (yet), but which he wants to belong to. And it's the way he did not outright say this, but what he does say is that there is something he also wants to protect, in direct parallel to his former mentor who was fighting to protect his significant other!!!

I also love how Rei's journey in this episode didn't end on some super optimistic final note (which last episode kind of did with Kazuki, the sun breaking out when he comes to his realisation and the colourful flowers and everything) but rather showing how Rei has simply taken the first small steps towards the future he wants, and sometimes that's enough.

Like, he's brooding and contemplating his identity and place in the world when Kazuki calls and he just lets it ring, but he picks it up in the end. Kazuki comes and he doesn't want to get in the car, but he does. We get to see their first meetings and how Kazuki took care of him, and even back then it was just a small step Rei took - he let Kazuki help. Rei asks if they can really change, and Kazuki doesn't know - but he took the step to ask, and Kazuki answered honestly. And that's already a change, this decision of theirs to step by step try to do the right thing so that they can live their lives the way they want, together with Miri. And in this episode it culminated in Rei smiling at sleepy Miri and the birthday table prepared by Kazuki, and that's enough for now.

Idk idk just think this series does such a wonderful job in showing the character's personal journeys and the difficulties of not just their jobs and lifestyles but also, very obviously, of two men raising a child together, and it does this in such a magnificent way with the perfect balance between optimistic and realistic. This episode was just another part of the wonderful whole, and it stands out so well on its own while still being such an important turning point in our main characters' story as a whole!

Also that ending scene?????? i won't survive the angst of the next episodes

#SORRY I STARTED RAMBLING there's not a single coherent sentence in there i'm afraid #you asked for my thoughts so those are my pure unfiltered thoughts #ANYWAY IF YOU AREN'T WATCHING BUDDY DADDIES. IT IS NOT TOO LATE #another thing - the photo of kazuki and miri in the supermarket was such a straight forward parallel to the photo of rei's former mentor #and his fiancee? wife? i forget #i've seen some criticism about how the show has very clearly put kazuki in the 'mother/housewife' role but #here i have to echo what some others had said - that there is still nothing heteronormative about the story of two single men raising a #child together. like you can say all you want about how kazuki does the cooking and the cleaning #but the very fact that they are NOT actually a man and woman living together already separates them from the context of a power imbalance #that would exist between a similar but heterosexual relation specifically because of patriarchy #like the unfair division of labour between husband and wife is one that is specifically rooted in sexism throughout history #whereas in this case it merely PARALLELS the typical parental roles without actually having this inherent power imbalance #i'm not well read enough on feminist theory to say anything more on the subject but you get what i mean? #and i think last episode already did a great job showing that kazuki DOES find it unfair that rei doesn't contribute enough at home #i think that was good commentary that applies to any household and family in general and not just the heterosexual nuclear family #i just don't think it's right to say that this series is being heteronormative #that's all folks #buddy daddies

ok someone just made a post about how some women are treated a type of way purely off of vibes (specifically mean girl vibes in that post) and how it's fucked up to presuppose that going off of absolutely nothing and I definitely agree that's fucked up however, they also said men don't get treated this way and I was like H U U U U U U H H H H H H ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? men ABSOLUTELY get treated negatively by absolute strangers based off of Vibes™, are we living on the same planet? you know how many guys have been minding their own business but are called creepy or intimidating behind their back? this is especially common for men of color. bro someone once told me that I gave off serial killer vibes like ??????

#bro I hated myself in my 20s because I felt like I was walking on eggshells around women #cuz I didnt want to come across as one of the bad ones #do you know how EXHAUSTING it is to have to deal with a part of the population #that has their guard up 24/7 by default #and like yea I get it but holy shit #being a man is being accused of being an aggressor by your mere existence ESPECIALLY in feminist-ey spaces #you are guilty until proven innocent so the only way to cope is to defang yourself or just not care #I did the former in my 20s #and now in my 30s I'm the latter #idgaf anymore if you shit yourself that's on you I'm done #anyway they made a good point in their post but that one bit took me out of it #I didn't wanna respond in their post cuz it would derail their valid point but like ???

Baby barbie wasn't good enough for all this commotion for a former first lady and someone who ran for presidency to speak on it throw it away

#yall really think that white feminist movie was oscar worthy #ive seen this film before and it was tge kanye vs taylor swift situation that had two former presidents come to basically apologize to her #for what he did #and im not saying him stealing her moment was right but having two former presidents come out in her defense #you would thought she was a child #but thats white feminism for you #i was abt to say something else but let me keep my mouth shut #barbie #hilary clinton is a joke #oscars

The way that my friend felt disappointed when he found out as a kid that an androgynous character he idolized was a woman because he quote "couldn't relate to the character anymore" and the way that the creator of Celeste """discovered he was non-binary""" because he wrote a female character that he was able to relate to are branches off of the same vein of misogyny I think

#gender critical #misogyny #it's all about the often-subconscious belief that women are subhuman or at least inherently lesser than men for being different from them #for the first dude: literally every woman on earth who consumes media relates to so fucking many male characters. they are our favorites. #some of them are so beloved by us that we believe we must actually be men because we can relate so hard to them. i went through this myself #(which is kind of what's going on with the second dude but i'll get to that) #yet for some reason a lot of men have a hard time relating to female characters in any way similar at all. there are zero men writing #obsessive (affectionate) thoughtful intelligent analyses of their favorite female charas' arcs and symbolism #(in part because so few media have any well-written and actually-humanized female charas to be able to do that with but also...) #because men see women as possibly-human fuck toys for them and nothing else #so when even self-proclaimed/usually feminist men relate to a female character outside of 'i want to fuck this' it makes them feel weird #bc male sexuality (this includes osa men i'm sorry to say but i've observed so many men like an anthropologist i see the same behavior #in all of them) is so centered around humilation/domination/aggression that it's not compatible with compassion/empathy #so for them to relate to a female (character or person) they get this weird-feeling psychological thing kinda similar to that joke of #'if you punch yourself and it hurts are you weak or strong?' but in this case it's 'if you relate to a sex object should you start thinking #you're also a sex object or should you let go of your momentary empathy for the sex object?' #and dude no. 1 took the latter path while dude no. 2 took the former #well in a way. his thing is more like 'if i am a human (bc i'm a man) and i can relate to a woman... does that mean women are human #or does it mean i am a woman?' and he picked the second route #i know agp vs hsts is (was?) the main grouping system radfems use(d?) to explain the different types of tims #and to some extent those labels do work especially since they're centered around sexuality which plays a huge role in trans identities #but i feel like it's either more accurate to just use the following labels or at least add them into the venn diagram: #some tims are trans because they see women as sex toys and enjoy the thought of being a sex toy themselves therefore they want to be women #while other tims are trans because they've othered the sex-object class of humans so hard that if they ever accidentally relate to a woman #it's a mindblowing discovery and makes them part of The Other (women are still of course treated as The Other for this to work) and #therefore super special (and of course more special than women because they're sex objects + The Other whereas #he is a man aka a human + The Other. this is especially true when men decide they're nb like guy no. 2 as opposed to trans women because #again women = sex toy to men so any men who do not want to be objectified are a different kind of Other to women [which to them consists of #females and trans women] but they still are The Other in some way and therefore must be both a man [human] and something else) #these concepts appeal to both osa and ssa men depending on what level/flavor of misogyny they cling to most and how gnc they are

The time period is the Kanko era, one of the eras that took place during the 400 years of the Heian period. With Kasen Kanesada as the captain, Ookurikara, Ichimonji Norimune, Sanchoumou, Himetsuru Ichimonji, and Nansen Ichimonji travel to Heian-kyo.

This was because they had detected abnormalities surrounding the history of Murasaki Shikibu, author of the world's oldest full-length novel, The Tale of Genji.

While the Touken Danshi are scouring Heian-kyo in search of Murasaki Shikibu, they come across a woman being hunted down by a suspicious group. Kasen Kanesada strategically instructs them: “Let us first observe their movement”, but Ookurikara ignores him and strikes at the enemy.

After the fight, the rescued woman introduces herself as Lady Koshosho. According to her, an intimate of Murasaki Shikibu, this era of Heian-kyo seems to have been overcome by the fictional world of The Tale of Genji.

Under the guidance of Lady Koshosho, Kasen Kanesada and the others begin to investigate the imperial court, where they observe Hikaru Genji animatedly engaging in amorous talk with aristocrats that never existed in actual history. It was a famous scene from the Tale: Commentaries during a Rainy Night.

Having witnessed a scene that had never existed in any era, Kasen Kanesada and the others take stock of their current situation. This was a world where "history" and "story" were reversed.

#tousute #guden mujun genji monogatari #t/n: 'commentaries during a rainy night' is a scene from the first chapter: #'hahakigi' or 'the broom tree' where genji and three of his friends are telling each other about #their romantic escapades and their opinions on the best kinds of women to woo. #goddamn fuck i spent a good deal of time wondering what damn chapter is named 雨夜の品定め and then i remembered . Oh. its from hahakigi. #yeah thats a scene i really enjoyed too #broke my head trying to tn 品定め in a way that flowed. not sure if it does still but eh #my translations #ookurikara: your orders r stupid n im a feminist. unlike your former master #(kasen proceeds to turn into ash)

i always forget this character exists but apparently he appears frequently so clearly the erins havent so i gotta ask. if they HAD to give ivypool or blossomfall hetero marriages why didnt they go for stormcloud

#if u dont know who that guy is (and i would not blame you) hes a kittypet that joined TC during bramblestar's storm #like. from what im gathering hes close in age to them #and if you HAVE to give ivy a bland nobody tom who vaguely mentions being soft which makes him a feminist #why not choose the guy whos a former kittypet #and also i say this less bc i care abt him and more bc. hey. hey no incest. no incest. or pedophilia. #hey erins theres a chance for u to not have an extremely creepy pairing here. why dont u take it. hey erins. #like he has no children in the clans at all so far and its so weird bc like they keep pairing up cats who are related #to the point where every character besides storm may as well be related #so like why introduce him and make a big deal out of including him if you arent going to do anything with him #or at least make these cats somewhat less inbred #echoed voice

you know i didn’t think about it at the time but we must give Hot Guy from this weekend props for answering my question “how tall are you?” without lying. i imagine he wasn’t lying because i knew we were about the same height and he answered 5’10 (i am 5’9). sorry i don’t have a better description of the guy. i’m telling you you’ll see him when i eventually post the link to this stupid film and then you’ll know. you will not have to ask which guy he is i promise you will know. anyway. good for him. honesty king

#my cast and crew shall henceforth be known as: #Lead Actress With Big Brown Eyes. Former Clarinet Man. Hot Guy.
