The fact that OP slippery slopes from pornography content requiring age verification to the censoring of nebulous ~queer~ content...pathetic! Pornography isn't protected speech. It is bigoted media. It's a hate crime.
I haven't seen anyone else mention this, but about a month ago they banned porn sites in my state. Like-- you can't open a private tab, you can't sign in to access it, you straight up cannot open or look at porn websites like Pornhub or XHamster or PornMD etc here in Texas without a VPN. This shouldn't be considered a legal thing to do. They didn't directly ban pornography here, but they might as well have.
And it may not seem like much. It starts with small things like this, and then-- what next? Are they going to ban LGBTQ content for being "inappropriate for children?" Next they might just outright outlaw pornographic material altogether. The bar is just going to keep getting raised, and don't think it won't.
This is not okay. I hate the sanitization of the internet.
It is your duty to crack a young man's inner peace by talking about the rape case against Kobe Bryant. They always go very very quiet when they hear that the case was dropped because the 19-year-old victim was stalked by Bryant's fans. She relocated in secret several times, and each time, they found her new address, hurling relentless, graphic, torturous harm and death threats at her along the way. Anyone who harbors any respect for him deserves to feel that guilt and shame.
If bitch isn’t a misogynistic slur because “anyone can be called one” then explain the ‘no bitches’ meme where the word is quite literally used as a replacement for women.
“Sadly, like my friend Ellie, women enjoy birthdays only until they reach a certain age. After the age of thirty, birthdays become a day of self-hatred or a day not counted, as exemplified by the statement, “I’m turning twenty-nine—again.” Negative comments about growing older often begin much younger than thirty. The ageist message behind these comments is that a woman’s value is in her youth and attractiveness according to patriarchal standards of beauty. Once past a certain age (“over the hill”), invisibility is her fate. Young women begin to lie about their age and fear their next birthday as a curse rather than as a blessed step in the process of becoming an elder who holds wisdom. Aging becomes something to feel ashamed about rather than proud of. Dying the hair to cover the gray and cosmetic surgery starting for some young women in their twenties are common remedies for the “problem” of growing older. Recently, an older woman in my community revealed she was seventy. She had always been silent about her age, even while others were being honored for crossing the threshold to cronehood. She experienced her announcement as a “coming out” experience for herself and has since begun to claim her place as an elder with pride.”

I forgot how much I love radical feminist literature
amid rumors of oj’s death (🦀🎶🦀) I am moved to share andrea dworkin’s piece about nicole.
“You won’t ever know the worst that happened to Nicole Brown Simpson in her marriage, because she is dead and cannot tell you. And if she were alive, remember, you wouldn’t believe her.”
it’s kind of tragic but also insane we’ve just got a sect of men that have fried their brains with hentai to the point they no longer find irl women attractive bc they don’t look like moeblobs or have 100lbs tits it’s like those australian jewel beetles who’ve become impotent because they are only sexually attracted to manmade beer bottles
this might be a controversial statement for some reason but i don't care if it's foolish to blindly side with a trans woman getting accused of pedophilia — i will do it anyway every time. i cannot be assed to care about the worst case scenario of the allegations being real and it biting me in the ass later, standing up for my fellow trans women in a world where we are getting pushed six feet under by baseless wildfire accusations like this comes first to me
Honestly when I hear people say “not receiving gender affirming surgeries will make me feel suicidal” I hear the same thing as if someone said “if I don’t get a nose job I’ll feel suicidal”
It’s a physical insecurity that wouldn’t exist in a vacuum. I’m sorry that you were influenced to feel this way, but surgery will not fix something that is rooted in self-hatred. If you change it with surgery, you will find another insecurity to fixate on within a week.
Also, can we talk about how rebranding gender affirming surgery as some life-saving procedure is just promoting and glamorising a very misogynistic and corrupt industry.
If oppression is rooted solely in class, then why does sexism exist in "classless" societies? Think of the rape epidemics in anarchist and hippie/"dropout" communities throughout history. Think of the utter woman-hating that takes place in these ONLINE communities. OOP is a fucking dumb-ass and a misogynistic fool.
Actually this is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.
“Sex based oppression never existed” lmao. Lol even.
“It’s just the way the bourgeois controls AFAB people” weird so controlling members of one sex is happening, it’s just not oppression, ok.
Porn is intrinsically bad. The word "porn" shouldn't be use to describe neutral things like "food porn, view porn, etc." as if porn is a good descriptive word. This way of language paves the way to normalizing porn.
