@ the men in my life

When you interrupt me, my attempts to keep speaking are not also ‘interruptions,’ they are me trying to regain my rightful place in the conversation as the person who was in the middle of saying something

Someone just asked me for a source on “women have vivid internal lives that do not rely on men”. Buddy, if you need an academic source for that, that’s your problem right there.

you ever notice how lesbian stereotypes are usually things that make women hard to control? confidence, physical strength, independence, being heavily involved in social activities with other women (ie, softball), getting angry at injustice; these are all things that are objectively positive characteristics. but they’re seen as undesirable in women because it makes the task of breaking them into a submissive, suggestible sex object much more difficult.

all of these traits, including lesbianism, are seen as interchangable or connected because they’re all threats to male domination.

Hot take- a lot of you think lesbians have to have some kind of trauma in order to turn down penises and it completely comes from the fact that you believe gayness is born of trauma.

I do love it when I instinctively dislike a person then find out later I indeed had valid reasons.

found this on a neopronouns tumblr. interesting that nearly two thirds want to be called “they/them”, well over half want to be called “he/him”, but only a quarter want female pronouns. twice as many would rather be called “it” than “she”. wonder why being thought of as female isn’t as nearly as popular as being thought of as something else…

TW // HUMAN TRAFFICKING

Found this man on tiktok bragging about his mail order bride.....

I sprinted to the comments. It got worse.

Nobody seemed to be concerned about this - here are the top comments.

Outside of the broad acceptance and nobody questioning this...He talks about how he is "training her".

He uses "pinay" as if he is referring to a dog breed. If you're unfamiliar, its a term to a Filipina woman living abroad, often seen as a derogatory or offensive term.

He also brags about how cheap she was to acquire. And how she "never has headache" a.k.a. never refuses him for sex.

All in all, I am disgusted by this man openly bragging about engaging in human trafficking.

If you're unfamiliar with how mail order brides are a form of human trafficking, this is a good opportunity to educate yourself!

A Public Interest Law Reporter paper, "In the Name of ‘Love’: Mail Order Brides-The Dangerous Legitimization of Sex, Human and Labor Trafficking,” notes that websites promoting mail order brides “project the stereotypical image of a Filipino woman being sweet, submissive, traditional, virginal, Christian, and familiar with the English language, making them the most popular ethnic group for mail order brides in the world.” The Public Interest Law Reporter paper noted that “mail order brides are often subject to physical and sexual abuse once they arrive in the U.S., which they are especially vulnerable to due to their immigration status.” They must remain married for a minimum of two years to be viable to receive a green card. For many men, two years is the most they plan on having them for, giving them a playground to wreac emotional, physical, and sexual havoc. When one leaves, they order a new one.

The women are a tremendously profitable cash crop for marriage brokering agencies. Victoria I. Kusel notes in the Albany Government Law Review that mail order bride agencies earn between $6,000 and $10,000 per client; some agencies claim to service as many as 15,000 clients each year.

Many of the men seeking out this service are considerably older than the women they contract to marry, though some agencies encourage their clients to stay within a 20-year difference in age. (X)

The prevalence of abuse against mail order brides prompted Congress to pass the Federal International Marriage Broker Regulation Act in 2005, which requires all marriage visa sponsors to undergo background checks and puts a limit on serial visa applications.

The regulations were passed into law in response to the 1995 murder of 24-year-old Filipina mail order bride Susana Blackwell in Washington State. Susana fled after less than two weeks of marriage, citing violent physical abuse. Her 47-year-old husband subsequently applied for a legal annulment, which would have led to her deportation. Susana responded by filing for divorce under the battered wife exception that would have allowed her to remain in the U.S. By the time of their divorce case was ready, Susana was eight months pregnant.

She and two other Filipina friends sat in the hallway of the King County Courthouse, waiting for the hearing to commence when her estranged husband walked up to the trio and shot each woman point blank in the head and chest. He is currently serving out a life sentence for the 1st degree murder of the three women and the manslaughter of Susana’s unborn child.

A 2012 revision of the Violence Against Women Act that would have helped mail order brides by allowing abused immigrant women to self-petition for protected immigration status was blocked by House Republicans; as The Huffington Post reported, pressure was exerted in part by the president of a mail order bride company.

The industry of mail order brides is exploitive. It promises a better life to young foreign women, then marries them off (at a profit) to older men who, for whatever reason, could not find a partner without paying for one. These women are then isolated, expected to perform sexually for their new husbands, and are legally required to remain in the marriage for 2 years. That's two years of sexual and domestic slavery, with the threat of an unhappy husband = deportation.

I hope this was educational.

why is there not a female version of emasculation?

masculinity is empowering and dominant and femininity is degrading and restrictive. there's no humiliating way of being stripped of chains

this is actually exactly the same rhetoric misogynists use to blame women for men’s actions. ‘raising monsters’? interesting how it’s acknowledged women are the ones raising the children and of course totally to blame for the actions of their adult children (typically adult men).

your children aren’t rightfully making memes and videos mocking you, your adult male sons are making sexist remarks about the women who raised them on the internet for leftist brownie points. this was not a term created by women of colour to discuss white women’s racism even if it may be used like that in a minority of cases, it’s believed to be sourced from male comedians’ stand-up mocking middle aged women.

stop pretending this is quality discourse or anything to do with racism in the vast majority of cases… it’s just acceptable misogyny and ageism lol

Notice how transgenderism is youth obsessed. When they speak of becoming a woman or feeling like a woman, they’re not imagining a 65 year old woman. They think womanhood is a perpetual blow up doll sex fantasy. All the men transitioning in their 40s dress like early 20s women in the sex industry. Or like teenagers. It’ll be interesting to see how many of these men ditch womanhood when they realize passing as a 60 year old woman and largely being ignored by society is not the titillating fun they’re after.
