The hunger games: capitalism pits individuals against each other in order to prevent us from uniting against the systems in power that maintain our oppression

teen dystopian YA for the next decade: light hair good boy 😍??? Or dark hair bad boy 🫣😈😈

#I’m turning off reblogs bc y’all are getting in fights #the hunger games #katniss is actually such a well written character all things considered #She’s socially incompetent and rude and also the only female character I could relate to as a kid #Those books didn’t radicalize me at age 11 for everyone to lump them in with divergent smh

we NEED more cleaners and bricklayers and scaffolders and delivery drivers in MFA poetry programs. like. immediately.

#the art of the novel is being radically transformed in the shape of a convo between two cleaning ladies in an office after hours. #a mechanic somewhere is dropping the most astonishing lines linking the landscape of wires & tubes to the tendons on their gfathers hands #when they taught them their first oil change or something but its happening entirely internally while theyre on their back under a hopeless #honda civic and thin lizzie is blaring on their boss' radio and they're going to forget about it this time tomorrow....... #or have another equally beautiful thought #@oliverisms and i just know this WE KNOW IT IN OUR BONES #p #idir lúibíní

TRAs making up insane strawmen terf arguments because they don't actually know what we believe: exhibit A

What we actually believe:

I've been meeting more and more 21-24 year old trans people and so many of them are just so... childish?? They still act like teenagers. And at first I was judgemental of them. I do not respect that they are grown adults that continue acting this way.

But I've also learned that a lot of them started transitioning at 14, 15, 16, etc. So fucking young. Indoctrinated and put on this horrific medical malpractice train that they just can't get off of. There's a really disturbing lack of self-reflection that baffled me until I realized that transition has basically stunted them.

This applies more for the ~everyone is valid uwu~ crowd than the transmedicalists, who usually want to just move on with their lives. But these people are stuck in this ideological bubble where they cut out anyone who disagrees with them. They reject anything that makes them feel uncomfortable, that threatens their perception of their gender, which is so fragile that it can't be held under scrutiny. And they know it. It's why the act the way they do. Allowing their views about gender and the world at large to develop would also mean leaving behind their zealotry. They cannot do this because of how invested, physically and socially, they have become in this ideology. Leaving it behind would mean loss of friends, loss of ego, maybe even a full detransition. It would mean death.

#rlly sad tbh. i have been so annoyed with them #but idk how mad i can be at this kid who transitioned at 16 my gd #gender critical #detrans #detransition #radical feminist safe #radical feminists do interact #radical feminists do touch #radical feminism #transition

Aileen Wuornos is a hero for killing her johns. She should still be living as a saint on this earth instead of receiving the death penalty.

Lorena Bobbitt is a hero for cutting her rapist’s penis off. So is every other woman who has done that.

My mom's got cancer (her treatment will ensure the tumours more or less remain in stasis - she's stable and okay) and she meets many women in the similar positions.

She met a woman. Bit older than herself and with a more aggressive type of cancer. They chatted and she told my mom about her husband and two adult sons who do nothing for her.

She still does all the domestic labour and grocery shopping. She still has to cook. If she comes home from her cancer treatment and is too ill and tired to cook, she ends up eating leftover bread. They won't even heat soup for her.

And she talked to my mom, all worried. Because her doctor told her to eat healthier, and she doesn't know how to manage that on top of everything else.

And this is such a common story. In practice, those marriage vows are for the wives only.

#radical feminism #female seperatism #I'm so mad so so mad #they can't even support the person they supposedly love the most #and her sons. i hope no woman gives them a second of her time #men will be good for a few years and make a 180° - don't risk it or if you feel you must please remain independent so you can leave whenever

dear lesboy (and tbh any other nuanced identity) exclusionists who think your vein of thought is the majority in queer spaces id like to inform you that today at lunch with my (entirely queer) friend group the topic drifted to me being a butch lesbian and one friend goes "wait i thought you were a guy?" and i said "i am" and another friend interjected "dudes can be lesbians too" and that was that. no further probing about my identity, nohing about how im "invalidating transmen and lesbians", or whatever. everyone just accepted that thats how i identify and i dont owe an explanation for it and moved on. i promise u its not that deep 👍

#i love both of those friends dearly #doinkus.txt #mogai #lgbtq #liom #transmasc #lesboy #boydyke #male lesbian #bi lesbian #mspec lesbian #pro good faith #rad inclus #radical inclusion #queer #trans #obligatory disclaimer that i am not *just* a boydyke i am also a girlfag thanks <3 #wasnt relevant to the post tho because only but butch-boy-dyke identity was brought up in the convo #i have said to them b4 that im gaybian though amd again no one was upset about it lmaoo

It’s really no wonder that men cling desperately to the institutions that don’t allow women out from under their brutality. Separatism terrifies them for good reason. Look at single-sex male spaces in prisons, schools, and industries. When men/boys are alone together, they quickly create castes where they treat their lowers like they treat women in broader society - and the abuse knows no limits. It’s often sexual, often fatal, and it always revolves around degradation. Males recreate patriarchy, even when they’re alone together. They’re terrified of their own brutality and need to use women as a buffer.

a kid at work the other day went on a Thing about how "the author of the percy jackson books has horrible opinions and that's why it's so important that the show made one of his characters black" and I am still thinking about it. what did they mean by that. the man picked anabeth's actress him damn self & told her that when she faced racism for playing the role he wanted her to remember that.

I think they are a very passionate teenager who bases their identity a little bit on being the most radical person in the room at any given moment, and that's probably why they said that, but like. they did also believe it. what on earth could they have possibly heard to misremember it that way??

#personal #i love them to pieces im just not used to this dynamic #usually I'm gently challenging people to think MORE critically and radically #in my job #i certainly don't want to do the inverse

The funniest thing about this post is that the username "Chuunibyou" literally translates from Japanese to "middle school syndrome" and it refers to a kid with delusions about having powers or abilities and refusing to grow out of their imaginary games.

The second funniest thing is that they're literally mansplaining womanhood.

#radblr #radical feminism #terfblr #terfsafe #Except it's not really funny at all because they're once again fetishising our sex and acting as though dressing up gives them #Any understanding whatsoever of our lived realities #Look how often they mention femininity as though that has anything to do with being female #I'm not feminine yet I'm still 100% a woman #The most feminine male will still be a man

Heyyyy since there's talk of the Breezepelt Attacking Poppyfrost scene going around, I just wanna remind people that he explicitly does that because he was groomed by the Dark Forest. Jayfeather points it out on the page that Breezepelt's stated motivation doesn't make sense, because it's not actually a rational idea Breezy-P came up with. It's then shown that actual factual evil demons are exploiting the anger he has from being a victim of child abuse, to indoctrinate and manipulate him into radical violence

I wrote a little essay about this with citations and stuff. It wasn't "for no reason," and anyone who tries to use the scene as "evidence" of Breezepelt being Secretly Evil to justify the abuse he underwent as a kid either didn't read it, has bad reading comprehension skills, or is cherrypicking on purpose.

Crowfeather emotionally and physically abused his child, Breezepelt was socially alienated by WindClan as a result, which leads to this moment. That is what is on the page.

#Breezepelt #This is one of the few character arcs in the series with proper setup and payoff like. Pls #The Attacking A Nun scene is part of it #The book says that the demons influenced him to do that #Political groups targeting disenfranchised and traumatized groups is Radicalization 101 #Pls this is one of the few bits of really REALLY unironically good writing in the series I'm dying squirtle #Kill them by pointing out the scene is literally proof that Breeze DIDNT act on pure bloodthirst #Or ambition or whatever #OTL #Warrior cats analysis #Breezy-P get behind me
