it was really heartening to learn that the purpose of creating such a thick uterine lining during the menstrual period was to prevent the implantation of embryos rather than encourage them, and that our uterus is basically flushing out anything it deems unworthy during the period itself rather than “punishing” us for not being pregnant (which is how it’s usually framed). it’s almost as if your female body is more concerned with the protection and continuation of itself rather than being used as a procreative vessel.

the fact that we’ve come to accept the idea that our reproductive organs are punishing us for not being continuously pregnant is proof of how deeply patriarchal brainwashing has convinced women that we are nothing but broodmares for ‘their’ children.

I have come to a point in my life where I can no longer bring myself to care about male individuals. They are shallow, revolting, devoid of any real emotional depth.

Once you realize this hard truth, you'll quickly lose all interest in them.

Whenever a male approaches me, I can barely manage to hold a simple conversation without feeling the urge to roll my eyes.

Music, cinema, and books made by men are laughable and not worth my time or money.

The only route that remains is female separatism, or death by boredom.

every day i thank internet femboys for revolutionizing gender expression and teaching us that you don't need to be masculine to be violently misogynistic and racist

Hello! 

A year ago, I asked you for some help with a research project I was doing, and you very kindly gave me some resources and pointed me in the right direction. I just wanted to say thank you again, as I recently got my grade for it back, and it was high enough that I've been offered a place at one of my top university choices.

Thank you for all of your help!

That's fantastic! Congratulations!

something that still makes me sick to my stomach is that nobody really needed any evidence for what they were accusing Amber Heard of, nobody bothered to verify anything, half of them didn't even know what the trial was about; they were just happy to unleash all the hatred they have against women once it was socially acceptable to do so. men wanted to torture a pretty female celebrity in a “kill the cheerleader” manner, prove that women are the actual abusers and liars and men are the poor victims who are never believed - conveniently after a wave of women no longer staying silent about the abuse and sexual assault they endured - and they succeeded, partially thanks to all the handmaidens who were happy to throw a woman they knew nothing about under the bus to prove that they are the good kind of feminist who fights for women and men alike and just cares so much about male victims. nobody cited anything else than the few tiktok viral clips that could have been easily disproven like Depp accusing Heard of cutting his finger off, or a few body language expert who were Just Some Guy concerned about their views and not the truth and who conveniently were able to make it seem like Amber smiling or crying or sitting and staring and doing nothing or moving her head by one degree to the side or looking at the jury when she's addressing them is a proof of her being the abuser. when asked what about Amber's testimony doesn't make sense, one of my friends just stared blankly for a good while and only came up with an answer like “oh, like when she said that her dog stepped on a bee”. yeah, we all saw that on a 20-second youtube short too. you'd think that before going on a crusade of death wishes towards someone and comparing her to serial killers people would learn anything about this woman at all, but they just knew NOTHING and it didn't stop them. hope the temporary validation you got from moids was worth all the women you scared into silence, hope it was worth all the rape victims you terrified with your “lol what is she complaining about that just sounds like a dream” tiktoks with Amber's testimony about Depp raping her used as an audio, hope it was worth what happened to Evan Rachel Wood and hundreds of other women, hope it will be worth it when you will just get mocked and called an Amber if you ever decide to stand up for yourself against your abuser.

A couple days ago, I was in Target, and as I walked through the shaving section, I overheard two women talking (and nearly crying) about the Arizona abortion ban while they picked out waxing kits. A song about feminism and empowerment was playing over the store speakers. For a moment, I wondered if I'd been transported into a didactic tumblr post describing something that never happened to make a political point, but nope. It was real.

After a while of abusing you, the idea that you're a human being becomes a threat to the abusers. It reminds them they did reprehensible and unforgivable crimes against another human being, and then instead of confronting remorse for it, they try to erase your humanity instead. They focus on convincing you that you somehow, are less than other humans, that you deserve this, that you're not good for anything else but this, that you asked for it, wanted it, that you have no human rights, no point of view, no perspective. That you have to take on their perspective of you, their view of how you should be treated. That their horrifying and cruel treatment of you is right and above criticism.

That's how far they go just to escape any consequences of abusing you, and once you believe them, once you feel that you don't deserve any better, they relax in thinking that the consequences will never come. That they can gaslight and brainwash you forever. And then they'll go back to abusing you. The entire scheme exists to enable them to abuse you and never suffer any consequences.

Just because someone manages to convince you that you're not human, doesn't make it true. Their lies cannot erase anyone's humanity. Victims realize what's been done to them when it's gotten too far, and they'll recognize they're dealing with an enemy who is trying to erase their humanity.

“But Skyler fucked Ted!” I wish she’d fucked Walter’s mom actually. I wish she’d told Walt to kill himself every day for breakfast lunch and dinner. I wish she had taught Holly to say “dad sucks” as her first words. So no she wasn’t perfect.

Full offense but if you can understand why “all lives matter” is problematic but still insist on turning women’s events into all-gender events, I am forced to conclude that you don’t actually believe that women are oppressed.

Men are taught to throw tables across the room and punch people if they're angry or are mildly disrespectful but somehow we're the emotional ones.

Museum: "We're going to have an exciting new exhibition featuring the works of Paul Gauguin!"

Me: "You mean the painter who raped 3 indigenous girls aged 13 - 14, then abandoned them once they had children, and gave them syphilis? That Gauguin?"

Museum: "Look, you can't create controversy by trying to apply modern sensibilities and current social norms on the past. It was a different time and we need to look at it through a purely factual, historical lens, with no extrapolation."

Also museum: "hey look these female warriors we're buried with SWORDS they must have been TRANS"

Me: "wait-"

Also museum: "these famous female authors wore MENS CLOTHES, and talked about their discomfort with rigid gender roles! We're going to refer to them with non-binary pronouns because they could have been trans WITHOUT HAVING THE WORDS FOR IT"

Me: hang on -
