They know who did it but no one has been arrested. I just know this was apart from misogyny definitely racially charged.

Men attributing things to women hating each other to avoid the reality that they're the ones who are hated, typical

one of my friends from high school who was with a bunch of different older (35-45ish) men when she was like 18-19 would talk about all the "bitchy" looks she got from older women when out in town with the men and she would laugh at how "jealous" they were and cockily say "it's not my fault that I'm young and hot lmao". and yeah. this is exactly it.

friendly reminder that the Abrahamic God never actually said that Eve couldn’t eat from the Tree of Knowledge, he only told Adam not to eat from it (Gen 2:17). perhaps the entire reason the tree was in the garden in the first place was so that Eve could eat from it & become wise (why else would it be in the garden if no one could eat from it??) but Adam couldn’t be trusted with that wisdom, so when Adam ate from it, that’s when all hell broke loose. yes, Eve eventually found out about the command (that’s why she told the serpent “God said not to eat from it”), but who’s to say that Adam didn’t tell her not to eat from the tree bc he was jealous????? also a friendly reminder that Eve didn’t “deceive” Adam, he was deceived by the snake. Adam was literally standing right there when the snake starting talking to Eve (Gen 3:6: he was “with her”). so it’s either he was also deceived by the snake, or Adam is evil, because he allowed Eve to eat from the tree & didn’t stop her from doing it.

no. seriously. take a look at Genesis.

“I expect you to know that I am a woman because I am wearing a dress” is apparently a progressive statement

film about a group of men getting into shenanigans= “comedy” film about a group of women getting into shenanigans= “chick flick”

film about a friendship between two men= “buddy flick” film about a friendship between two women= “chick flick”

emotional film about father/son relationships= “drama”  emotional film about mother/daughter relationships= “chick flick” 

film about a young man finding identity= “coming of age” film about a young woman finding identity= “chick flick”

The important thing to remember is that, when Shrek came out in 2001, its subversive, ironical tone was groundbreaking because it was up against a Disney machine that played everything completely straight (notwithstanding "Emperor's New Groove", which came out a few months earlier). Then Disney itself bought into that tone and hegemonized it, and now, movies that actually take their own fucking characters and premises seriously feel like a breath of fresh air.

Thinking about how hard it was to get accurate sex ed info for lesbians when I first came out and how much harder it is now that lesbian is a meaningless word. I want to know if I only have sex with women (no TIMs) what my actual risk of certain stds, especially hpv, is but there are almost no studies that looks at women who only have sex with women and now I have to use word salad “vulva haver having sexual encounters that don’t involve a penis” or whatever.

Compliments from fellow women are so much better because our sisters don't expect anything in turn and we don't act like we did anyone a favor by doing so. It's just a compliment, a nice one that actually means something and warms our hearts.

Men always act as if they nourished our souls and gave our lives meaning by positively commenting on our physical appeal and so we owe them appreciation, affection, love and our bodies.

Taliban has announced that women in Afghanistan will be stoned to death in public for adultery.

The Afghan Taliban’s supreme leader, Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada, has issued a disturbing proclamation, vowing to implement brutal punishments against women in public. In a chilling voice message broadcasted on state television, Akhundzada directly addressed Western officials, dismissing concerns about violating women’s rights by stoning them to death.

"You say it’s a violation of women’s rights when we stone them to death," Akhundzada stated. "But we will soon implement the punishment for adultery. We will flog women in public. We will stone them to death in public," he declared, marking his most severe rhetoric since the Taliban seized control of Kabul in August 2021.

These grim statements, purportedly from Akhundzada, who has seldom been seen in public except for a few outdated portraits, emanate from Afghanistan’s state TV, now under Taliban control. Akhundzada is believed to be located in southern Kandahar, the Taliban's stronghold. Despite early assurances of a more moderate regime, the Taliban swiftly reverted to harsh public penalties reminiscent of their previous rule in the late 1990s, including public executions and floggings. The United Nations has vehemently criticised these actions, urging the Taliban to cease such practices.

In his message, Akhundzada asserted that the women's rights advocated by the international community contradicted the Taliban’s strict interpretation of Islamic Sharia law. Akhundzada emphasised resilience among Taliban fighters, urging them to oppose women's rights persistently. "I told the Mujahedin that we tell the Westerners that we fought against you for 20 years and we will fight 20 and even more years against you," he stated.

His remarks have sparked outrage among Afghans, with many calling for increased international pressure on the Taliban.

"The money that they receive from the international community as humanitarian aid is just feeding them against women," lamented Tala, a former civil servant from Kabul.

"As a woman, I don’t feel safe and secure in Afghanistan. Each morning starts with a barrage of notices and orders imposing restrictions and stringent rules on women, stripping away even the smallest joys and extinguishing hope for a brighter future," she added.

"We, the women, are living in prison," Tala emphasised, "And the Taliban are making it smaller for us every passing day."

Taliban authorities have also barred 330,000 girls from returning to secondary school for the third consecutive year. University doors were closed to women in December 2022 and participation in the workforce is heavily restricted.

"people show their true colours in life threatening situations" no, they show you what they act like when they're mortally terrified, an emotion notorious for literally turning your entire brain off to the point where people who go into those situations as a profession need to be literally trained on how to not have that happen
