#like. they live in misogyny world.

[zombiegirldean]

being a woman in Supernatural world is so fucking horrifying. don't wear white, you will get fridged. don't be blonde, you will get fridged. Jessica Moore was forcibly stenciled into Mary Winchester's shape to turn the narrative engine of righteous violence. she's the inciting incident for the entire epic and we know literally nothing about her. bc why would we need to. the wife is the sister is the daughter is the mother and they're all dead, and they're all used as instruments to give men an excuse to cry. you can love a man and take him into your home for a year but you'll still never get close enough to touch him bc he's keeping you in a pristine little box of unsullied domesticity. he's keeping you SAFE and CLEAN. he's making arrangements for you. and when the narrative machine beckons he will set you gently back down and return to his real and important work. don't be a virgin, virgins get fridged. don't be a hellbitch, here comes the fridge. do NOT put on that white nightgown, that is the uniform of the fridge, but it's too late, you're already bleeding out on the ceiling, maybe you always have been.

#supernatural #spn #lisa braeden #jessica moore #mary winchester #ruby supernatural #jo harvelle #that post that's like. doomed by the narrative bc the writer is a misogynist. literally #sam and dean's occasional convictions that they cant get close to women bc their lives are too Dark and Serious & theyll put them in Danger #would be neurotic and self centered except they are literally right. they ARE cursed. #ellen's conviction that jo will die young if she hunts and dean's condescension towards her. would be misogynistic. #but theyre right. jo will get fridged. she's blonde. it is literally a plot point in no exit that the ghost wants to get her more bc shes #blonde #like. they live in misogyny world.

YOU — “No. There is still a chance.”

DOLORES DEI — “You think so?” Her voice is weary.

EMPATHY — Everything about her is weary. She is the Innocence of weariness, of heroically borne suffering.

CONCEPTUALIZATION — That is the picture you have painted for yourself, at any rate.

YOU — “You looked back. That’s the memory, the moment, that I can’t stop returning to. You looked back. I had a chance, for just that moment…”

DOLORES DEI — She meets your eye, gaze still forever cast back over her shoulder. Time stops. The stars are stilled, the ocean silent. There is *nothing* beyond this memory. Nothing at all. All of infinity is contained in this single moment when anything and everything was possible.

“Oh, Harry…” She sighs, soft as eiderdown. “We never had any chance.”

And just like that, the wave of time collapses under its own weight, obliterating everything. This moment was six years ago. She is gone from here. Gone, gone…

PAIN THRESHOLD — You cannot leave. There was nothing outside of this moment, and now there is nothing at all. It’s all gone. There is no point. I’m sorry. I can’t do this any longer.

VOLITION — Please, don’t say that…

“Okay. Well, fuck me, then.”

“How would *you* know?! You gave up! You didn’t even try!”

“We *must* have had a chance, at some point… Doesn’t everyone get a chance, if nothing more?”

“How could you say that…?”

DOLORES DEI — “Because it’s true,” she says, matter-of-fact. “There is no moment in time that you can turn back to, no branching paths, no infinity. There is only what happened. I looked back… and then away.” She closes her eyes, turning her back to you.

“The moment ended. *We* ended. That is all.”

SHIVERS — A wave crashes against an unseen shore, ocean spray tickling the back of your neck. You shiver, but no one shivers with you. You are alone in this intersection. Why are you here?

“Why can’t *I* end?! Why can’t this all just stop? Please, make it stop…”

“Ended? I’ve barely even started! I got a chance to start completely over as somebody new! I don’t need you anymore! You’re just dead weight to me now.”

“No. That wasn’t the real ending. We’re a part of something so much bigger than this intersection, telling a story that encapsulates all of history! There’s *more* to this, it *means* something.”

“Then… What am I supposed to do now…?”

DOLORES DEI — “No, Harry.” She turns back to you again now, and she looks… sad.

“We were not metaphors. We were people. Our narrative was not intelligently designed. It simply followed the patterns of history, because those are the only patterns we *know.* We tried to create something new, but we failed. There is no narrative reward for our failure, no satisfactory ending. There is only the immutable past and the unknowable future.”

RHETORIC — There is no assurance of what is good or deserved or what may bring relief. There is no assurance of punishment, either. There is no assurance of anything. Not even of a future. I don’t know what to say to make this bearable.

VOLITION — Even so… As long as you live, *something* is promised. Can you live with that?

I can’t, I just can’t do this anymore…

I can. It’s enough.

I don’t know. I just don’t know.

I can at least try for a little longer…

VOLITION — That’s all I ask. That’s enough.

#disco elysium #harry du bois #dolores dei #suicide tw #ummmmm haha *twirls hair* #sorry this isn’t more of the dolores saga im really trying to get back into the swing of things 😭 #this is smth that won’t make it into the saga but that i was thinking about nonetheless #im not too fond of the whole ‘’dora is literally dolores dei’’ thing tbh #i feel that the mundanity is what makes their story impactful #and also just. makes it feel like somebody is kinda going overboard on projecting onto their proxy ex. lmao 😭 #idk like the metaphor gets a little TOO metaphorical for me. but that’s just my onion. im an rgu fan so who am i to judge #anyway this is more my take on the harry/dora story #which is that dora was Just Some Guy and ultimately we have to live w the fact that we’ll never get the full story #because she literally exited the narrative #we can speculate about what her and harry’s relationship was like and how much of the blame is on each of them #dora’s lack of class consciousness vs harry’s violent misogyny etc etc #and like. it’s not that there’s no value in examining those things bc there definitely is value in it #in examining what patterns you DO see repeating in your life and in the world around you #that is what politics is really… examining the system and all its moving parts #but ultimately the past is immutable… our perception of it changes as we gain new context and understanding but what’s past is past #and there is no way of knowing with any certainty what the future holds #that’s where the overlap of all of these political and personal conflicts is for me #and why it comes back to harry questioning whether it’s worth it to even live #it’s about whether or not you can live with the grief of the past and the uncertainty of the future #i want to learn to live with it… to work toward building a future that i want to live in #anyway. coughs

[fiovske]

the thing abt mizu is that she is extremely non-binary in such a genderqueer way that she has homoerotic energy w men and extremely sapphic energy w women.

#i know this is gross simplification bc mizu's relationship to womanhood is quite a few layers of complicated #bc she has never been allowed to be human let alone woman in a society where mixed race is seen as a greater condemnation than womanhood #and a lot of her dressing up as a man is to save herself from the reach of said misogyny which wont let her be addressed as a woman #but sure be dehumanized as one. #but it is funny to think of how homoerotically charged her interactions w taigen are. as opposed to her interactions w women. w akemi. #i have not finished the show yet i've still quite a few eps to go. but god her being mixed race has been so incredibly isolating. #she struggles w intimacy she feels like she has to do everything alone bc who in the world wouldnt hate her? would not turn her in for coin #her easily clockable ethnicity has challenged both her ability to live w womanhood #and be a part of womanhood in a society where women are treated so poorly. #anyway this is a joke post simply to comment on how mizu's chemistry w taigen is as opposed to mizu's chemistry w akemi #i'd beseech you to not take it seriously. like i said. its a gross simplification. and this is a joke post. #im watching blue eye samurai and the art style is pretty cool

[dragonlights]

Like I don't Post about drama but vis a vis predestro's Tumblr ban, like. I don't necessarily think it's a good thing that we on the Internet have become so desensitized to threats of violence that we use them as jokes, but like.... That's been Tumblr culture for, what, a decade now? At least four years. Almost definitely longer.

And like. I've seen so much worse. Folks admitting to sending asks telling others to kill themselves!! Folks outright wishing x/y person killed themselves!!! Folks harassing trans folks (esp. trans women!)

But what gets this one lady banned was her man door hammer hand car boom-ass post???

Like, talk about enforcing the TOS from the wrong angle.

I totally get that part of it is "this person had their rule breaking reported en masse so something happened" but shouldn't the severity of the response have more to do with the severity of the offense, rather than how many people reported that user?

Like. The fact that we have to do mass reports to get anything to happen to anyone is ridiculous.

And, the fact that INCORRECT mass reports aren't punished more is also ridiculous.

There's also no report function for discriminatory content, or for seeing users harass each other. So... If you're not the one being harassed, your report does... Nothing??

Unless you, what scroll through someone's blog looking for things you could report as threatening violence??

On the "I hope every politician dies" webbed site???

There's obviously something fucky with their reporting system- either the way that reports are handled, or the way the severity of the reports are being judged.

Cause right now, it looks like they got a flood of reports from TERFs, photomatt saw a post about him, and went "well, fuck it, get her out of here" without looking at the context of HER BEING HARASSED FOR AGES. And that the post in question- the only one I saw shared!- was almost certainly a vent post for Said Situation that was...

Comically mishandled?

Like this one?

Like. Look. Do I think maybe at some point, on the "way too comfortable with violence on people I see as Wrong in some way" webbed site, a popular user said something that could actually be construed as a threat, and due to rampant transmisogyny got, got her shit reported?

Yeah, I can see that.

I don't follow her blog too closely, I know she does a lot of hyperbolic stuff. (as is Done on this Web site, again... I've almost certainly rb'd things just as bad)

But the example photomatt uses is hilariously bad and so obviously not a threat, and one would think, IN LIGHT OF THERE BEING ALLEGATIONS OF TRANSPHOBIA ON THEIR TEAM FOR YEARS, THEY WOULD BRING OUT A MORE CREDIBLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE THAN A LOONY-TOONS ASS DEATH WISH.

Just. The bar was on the ground and they still fumbled It! Fucking! Amazing!

#dragontalk #i don't like all her views on transandrophobia. but her takes on the ways trans women are policed are spot on. #but seeing this shitshow is wild! I've followed thia lady for ages and she's like. Intense but fine? #again. i don't follow her blog too closely! there might be more harsh shit that I'd never seen! #but. mostly i see a lady who's had to fight constantly. in a way lots of trans women have. to be taken seriously. #not as a threat. not as a joke. not as a hypothetical. but as a person! who's experience this like. #really shitty intersection of transphobia and transmisogyny and probably regular misogyny and like. l #i think most of us would get pretty snippy at that point too #and given we exist in a culture way too comfortable with wishing violence on people... yeah. #most of us would have wished ~someone~ got hit with a falling grand piano or an anvil or stepped on a rake so hard they died #just. truly wild times we live in. #maybe i should start a collection of 'this post wishes violence on someone' #maybe even narrow it to 'violence on someone who hasn't upheld state sanctioned violence during their life' #to cut out the ronald Reagan margeret thatcher queen lady ass violence wishes #which i can't even bring myself to care about. and that says something about me o don't think i like. but like. #but at the aame time too much colonial ass violence in this world. I'm Tired.

[bugbuoyx]

I think it's funny when people say trans men don't experience misogyny. I experience it alot as an out and proud and obvious trans person. Most folks are good, they don't blink an eye (even in the rural south) but for some you can see it like a switch. The biggest tell in my experience is they start treating you like the world's biggest idiot. Like you couldn't possibly know more than them about anything. I also tend to get babied, people stop letting me do things I was doing previously such as lifting heavy stuff and outdoorsy type work.

I just think it's ridiculous that the most basic elements of misogyny, elements that have been defined and discussed for years, no longer count as misogyny because it's directed at a trans guy. How do people even claim it's "misdirected" (which is such a bullshit word irt oppression) it's all very clearly directed at me for having formerly been a woman*. And what of my time spent living as a girl? Does all that misogyny mysteriously disappear, all of my former experiences rendered moot by the fact I'm now a guy*.

I haven't even gotten into how cis men can be misogynistic towards each other but rad fems and people who pretend they aren't rad fems but boil misogyny down to "woman only oppression" like to ignore that. What do you call it when a cis guy shames another guy by calling him a pussy? "You hit like a girl" anyone? You can't explain this away as "misdirected" because the intended target is not a girl, is not mistakenly being perceived as a girl, it is a deliberate act of misogyny in order to enforce the patriarchal status quo.

#misogyny #transmasc #transphobia #im bad at tags negl but w/e #i bet if i sniffed out the origins of “misdirected” it would come from rad feminism #like i dont think people realize exactly how much radical feminism has invaded queer spaces its so bad its literally everywhere #its in the heavy separation of gender in the accusations that certain peoples (depending on your flavor of radfem) experiences dont count #its in the black and white view of the world #of misogyny being the only oppression that matters and everything else is coincidental the idea that men cant be oppressed at all ever #of the idea that theres one person who is the most oppressed and collecting and wielding identities like oppression points #except your points dont count if you are actually oppressed such as black trans folks who are regularly silenced #seriously though the idea that no man ever has ever faced oppression especially from a woman is so funny like i live in the rural south -- #-- and i still learned in school that there were black men who were violently murdered bc cis white women accused them of rape #but yallre like wasnt misogyny wasnt a girl he deserved it for being a nasty stinky man uwu #which is disgusting racism but if you point that out youre a misogynist not allowing women to “vent” about their oppression #transandrophobia

[robotpussy]

ppl who use pretty privilege unironically, i cannot take seriously

#first of all what ur supposed to say is desirability [politics] #because what in the world is this prettyphobia some ppl are trying to make a thing why are you trying to obscure #the violence ALL WOMEN face by saying shit like that can we not just fucking acknowledge all of it without somebody #coming in to say 'well being pretty is hard too because we also face misogyny' like yes we know! that's what comes with being #a woman in this world! but why is this the route you are going? i will never fucking forget that ask i got when someone was like #'pretty girls get harassed and assaulted too we don't live blissfully' when 1. i never said that 2. a misogynist doesnt hold punches for #anyone. i hate how these trials and tribulations of being pretty conversations keep happening we need to work towards being free #not trying to have who is more likely to face misogynist violence competitions

[antiyourwokehomophobia2]

If you can’t refute this then maybe it’s time to start considering your cause isn’t so righteous or beneficial to women after all https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1RvBf5I1kz/?igsh=dWJpYjVpOXRsOGti

Um. I mean. This guy starts the video by saying feminism hurts people and then goes on to talk about how homosexuality is bad. He hardly talks about women at all so I'm not sure how refuting this video will prove that my movement is beneficial to women?

#If you're talking about how the well being of women decreased with feminism then I mean yea lmao #Being aware of how awful misogyny is and how much of it there is in the world is definitely gonna put a damper on things #This is not a flex #This is like saying that slaves were happy until you told them they could be living free lives and then they got really sad #Like #No shit?

[celestials-witch]

It is okay if your witch craft is love and light. It is okay if your witch craft looks more aesthetic and more pretty. It's okay if you aren't posting spells every day, or aren't doing these intricate rituals.

For me, witch craft is an escape. And I think in general for women, fems and women adjacent people, we live in a world that persecutes us all daily. We live in a world where we are exposed to tragedy, violence and hatred just because of the bodies we were born in, the way we identify, or the way we simply live.

Witch craft should be an escape as well as a way of living. If your witch craft is sometimes just posting nature and aesthetics, pulling a card a day, lighting a candle, a simple meditation, etc., then that's valid.

[guideaus]

in 2024 i'd love to just think "this is stupid as hell" and move on without participating in prolonging discourse, but also i think if the internet somehow casually slides further back in a conservative way that sounds progressive, i'll lose my mind

#personal #it is frustrating a positivity campaign can take place on tumblr and u go and see what inspired it and its repeatedly #defending men for no reason at all #while irl men will casually be misogynistisc 100 diff ways #truly feels like im living in some backwards world. how are ppl turning misogyny into an aro issue and claiming critics are terfs #irl women get murdered and then online various genders are willingly defending an unknown man and calling him queer #u get ppl saying this is 2016 tumblr discourse but for 2 diff reasons (why are we still talking abt this vs didnt we have a higher standard

[mothbiite]

Ya girl went to see Barbie and came out questioning gender 😎

#i thought i had it figured out h #i am deathly allergic to gender roles and expectations so much that my fictional world is clean of that #as such my fictional self-insert is a woman bc well if gender's a construct the construct in my fictional world is a lot more fluid #like there's zero expectations or roles solely tethered to gender #but here on earth??? #i feel like i don't fit in #which is weird considering these emotions hit really strong after coming out of a female empowerment movie #maybe it's internalized misogyny??? #or just my quixotic desire to live in a fantasy world and not...here #idk man

now that everyone is tired of the Cinematic Universes of Everything™ I think it's high time we bullied Stephen King for making One Villain and calling it good

#[KJB! voice] y'know back when i was a faceless demon in a corn field when i was the same guy #back when i was the incarnate of evil in the post apocalyptic world when i was the same guy #i think stephen's biggest failures as a creator (in storytelling not his like. rampant misogyny) #is that he needs an editor who doesnt know who he is #so that editor can tell him that we dont need to know!! every single moment of all of his OCs!! all of their possible lives!!!!! #if im halfway through a book and the plot hasnt started yet theres a Problem #i know he has so many problems w how he portrays various groups but lots of people have talked about it better than i can #so im just here to shit on randall flagg as a concept

[lacremedelafemme]

Wanted to say smth but I can't figure out how to word it and I hate being misunderstood so imma just say the broaden short version of my rant:

It's wild how much women (consciously and unconsciously) think that lesbians don't experience misogyny

"oooh you're so lucky you are a lesbian... you don't have to deal with men!" like men are very much an issue for me just cause I don't date men doesn't mean I'm not harassed by them or that I'm somehow outside the effects of a patriarchal society

#nana says #like heterofatalism isnt gonna gain u any points with me #all you've really said is that you think I'm privileged for being a lesbian #as if lesbophobia and misogyny are things that lesbians aren't affected by #only really thinking about this cause the last post i reblogged reminded me of this conversation i had with my friends coworker #where she basically said i had privilege over her (shes bi) because the chance of me being SA'd were smaller than hers #and i was like HUH??? R U DENSE #like me and my friend were giving each other mad 👀 looks #like what imaginary world do u live in #ur sexuality has nothing to do with ur chances of being SA'd!!! oh my god #like does she believe that aroace ppl are immune to SA?? im so baffled

[celepeace]

I went into my english class at the start of the semester and my professor was like "you guys dont discuss hard questions, like philosophy or politics, or analyze literature very much outside of academia, right? In some other cultures this is normal, but we don't do this very much here" and I was internally like lady I don't know how to say this but talking about those things in my personal life is all I fucking do it feels like

#it's that way irl it's that way online #i can't have a conversation longer than 15 minutes with any of my irl friends without it devolving into politics or philosophy somehow #i say devolving because it feels like it never ends. that there's some new weird bullshit that's happened in the world #we live in interesting times. it's ALL we talk about #even in the singular fandom i'm semi-involved in most of what i end up doing #is talking about how we can use the text to glean information about the authors' beliefs and how that manifests as its many flaws #mostly the completely unexamined misogyny

[electriccenturies]

every day I realize more and more ways in which my previous identity was (in part) a shield I put up in order to escape sexism and cultural expectations... it's kinda interesting, outside of the ways it's sad?

I have such a compulsion to dress "modestly" now — not because I think it's a moral imperative or anything like that, and not because I personally judge people who don't dress modestly, but because I don't like being looked at or having my appearance commented on. However, this only really applies to half my wardrobe; when I wear stereotypical "women's" clothes I am fully a maxi skirt + t shirt + flannel kind of gal. No skin showing.

I did not have the words for this when I was 15/16/17 etc, to express that I didn't not like wearing "girls'" or "women's" clothing, I just disliked the current trends (which were revealing) because I had a lot of shame and anxiety about my sexed body. I did not know that consciously back then, and honestly I didn't really understand that it was allowed? For some reason?

The other half of my clothes belongs to a teen boy named Tyler, and even though that stuff is much more revealing, I'll wear it no problem??? I'll happily wear shorts and a tank top if I'm in "dude" clothes. I'd never wear anything close to a similar length of skirt, or even women's shorts if they made them that long.

I think this is a strange manifestation of both me naturally being a very private person, and also of internalized misogyny. I feel safer in men's clothes, even though I don't really pass as a guy these days. I like them stylistically, yes (for multiple reasons, even), but it also functions as a controlled form of nonconformity. I judge my body so much more in women's clothes. I expect the judgment in men's clothes.

It's interesting to me that I flip between those feelings/styles seamlessly but I absolutely can't cross them together.

#if that makes any sense lol maybe this is just me rambling #at one point i would have thought this all meant something very significant about me but at this point in my life im just kinda like #it means i like multiple styles of clothing and that i live in a sexist world. who cares. i just dont like the internalized misogyny bit #don't like it about myself i mean #(im the teen boy named tyler btw. or. i was when i bought the clothes?) #actuallydetrans
