i am fucking BEGGING people. To use critical thinking skills when it comes to Joshua Graham and mormonism. If I see any more cutesy uwu missionary Joshua posts. Mormonism isn't your pure sweet ~ unproblematic ~ religion. it's a cult. im going to start biting people.
I don't care how much hate I get for this; but There Will Be Brawl was basically the encapsulation of the frankly, sexist way female characters were treated in early-2000s fandom.
I think a lot of idiots get fascist oppressive nazi matriarch ideas confused with anarcho-feminism or leftist feminist antifascist ideas... I think if you haven't read any Emma Goldman and you are a woman or lgbtqia+ whatever you identify as blah blah and you are promoting sexist rightwing radfem nazi matriarch ideas you should be shutting the fuck up before an anarcho-feminist knocks you the fuck out for your misleading oppressive politics dribbling from your fucking pie hole!
"As women, society tells us to curb our spending while telling men to increase their earning potential.
I'm done internalizing or perpetuating this patriarchal bullshit."

Hey, you know how men have a mentality that essentially breaks down to "all women are sluts except my mother, my daughter and my sister"? I tried to think of a misandrist take to turn it around, but actually I can't.
"All men are scumbags... ESPECIALLY my father...err I'm lesbian and hope I never have a son but even if I did I'd actually teach him to be a decent human being and not a scumbag...uh, my brothers kind of are scumbags. Definitely my uncles tho." And I can go on lol
Guess it proves further that we can't "reverse sexism" and equate misandry and misogyny and that men actually should all stfu and die and Valerie Solana was still too tame. If men were all to disappear tomorrow, I'd actually live my best life without a regret.
Makes me think about this film I've seen which was a ""feminist"" (typically very libfem) attempt at "female gaze" and "reverse sexism" in a world where men would be objectified and such. That just doesn't work and you need some serious brainrot to think that. Also, that was, oh so feminist to have a rich straight white male main character. This film already seemed like a bad femdom fantasy garbage way before I even knew what radical feminism was.
“Most of recorded human history is one big data gap. Starting with the theory of Man the Hunter, the chroniclers of the past have left little space for women's role in the evolution of humanity, whether cultural or biological. Instead, the lives of men have been taken to represent those of humans overall.” - Caroline Criado Perez (Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men)
This Tamil series (it has English subtitles) isn't perfect, but it's so good! It's called Ayali, and seeing this instagram post reminded me of how powerful the series was.
"The story revolves around the life of a young teenage girl (Tamizhselvi) who defies the horrible 500-year-old customs and traditions that oppress the women of Veerappannai village in Pudukkottai towards her dream of becoming a doctor."
Sex trafficking, teen boys using girlfriends for sex, sexualization of younger women in media, etc. are all problems worth addressing. However, I’ve noticed you do not often name the root of the problem. Do not be afraid to use words like “misogyny” “sexism” “patriarchy”.
Conservatives talk about sex trafficking, but rarely name the root problem that men are the “demand” and women are the “product” or “supply”. The word is “misogyny” “patriarchy” etc.
I see so many woman tearing each other down, to prove a point. Like slut shaming other women to prove they‘re not „like them“, or above them or in some other kind of way „better“ or more „valuable“, to make themselves look better.
But this is just giving in to patriarchal standards and if you, as a woman, use these to tear other women down, you just shoot yourself in the foot. You’re hurting yourself with those double standards just as much as other women
