It’s such a Western idea that meat is the best source of protein, disregarding the fact that the majority of people get their proteins from cereal grains and not meat. I think it says a lot about the priviledge that members of developed countries have

frustrating how men's common understanding of a woman's bad mood during her period is STILL "ah yes, the woman juices from her woman organs have scrambled her irrational woman brain" and not "well no shit she's not in a great mood, she's leaking blood from her genitals and probably feels like there's a thrashing hedgehog in her uterus" in (current year)

I regularly have dreams I refer to as "Big Luca Dreams", wherein my dog Luca is very big. They are my favorite dreams.

This is how big Luca is in the Big Luca Dreams

TWO HOURS AGO: an incredible photo taken by a ut austin student capturing something deeply poetic in my opinion, a line of state troopers eagerly waiting to arrest student protesters standing just behind a sign that reads "what starts here changes the world. its starts with you and what you do each day."

If men hadn't oppressed, restricted, raped and enslaved women for the last 5000 years all the ugly, short, balding in their 20s men would have died out by now and I'll never forgive them for that

day 2 of period. 10 sets of overhand grip bent over rows with a 75lb barbell today to failure, right into 12 shrugs without putting the bar down oobh. then repeated the whole thing with underhand grip rows into the shrugs again. that was brutal

then 5 sets of 5 single arm dumbbell curls at 35lb and then flat benching to failure at 75lb.

next it was 4 sets of 10 per leg of side lunges and then 4 sets of 10 per leg backward lunges using sliders on the turf, which was so easy. trainer tried to make it harder by adding a 20lb dumbbell and having me repeat the 4 sets of 10 per each leg but it was still easy. and i got allllll the way down to the turf in those lunges and made fun of him for not being able to get down as low as me when he did the demo :)

all lunges are easy ever since i had to do jumping lunges every damn day when i was doing Jillian Michaels workouts at home. after sustaining a minute of uninterrupted jumping lunges per day you can do anything tbh

One of the things that makes arguing with men so much more draining than arguing with women is the unequal distribution of credibility and contribution.

Somehow, whenever I argue with men, it always falls upon me to both prove my own claims, and to disprove his, while he does neither; his only obligation seemingly to dole out whatever ungrounded assertions he conjures up on the spot. Somehow, it is always wordlessly established that anything I say is false until proven true, while anything he says is true until proven false.

This same dynamic happened again over on tiktok, when a man claimed women are just as violent as men. Automatically, almost as if by muscle memory, I offered up the usual statistics on male depravity: men constituting 99% of rapists, 99% of mass shooters, 98% of killers, 95% of serious domestic abusers. And his only response was to say those statistics were wrong. No elaboration; wrong simply because he said so.

I already knew how the entire conversation would pan out: I’d give him my source, he’d find a reason to discredit the source, then I’d scour the internet to find a source that suited his standards, which he’d inevitably find a reason to discredit too.

So instead I simply said, “Prove the statistics are wrong.” And that was the only thing I responded with henceforth: prove it, prove I’m wrong, prove you’re right. Thus reversing the dynamics and positing that anything I said was true unless he demonstrated otherwise; unduly putting all the onus on him while I did nothing other than decide whether he was convincing me of claims thoroughly enough—and if he wasn’t, it just meant I was winning, of course.

He blocked me, and so far so have all the other men I’ve used this approach on. I don’t know whether it’s because they couldn’t actually disprove my claims or because they couldn’t stand to be treated the same way they treat women in debates. But I think more women should do this. Stop wasting energy proving your points to men, and start making them prove theirs to you.
