Sometimes male anger at ‘women getting special treatment’ reminds me of a gorilla experiment. One gorilla gets a banana every hour. The females next to him get one every four hours. Then someone decides to be ‘fairer’ and gives the females a banana every two hours instead. The original gorilla? He flips out. He’s still getting his banana every hour, but it feels like a loss because his advantage shrank.
That’s how a lot of men react to basic fairness for women: not as justice, but as theft.
it’s crazy that 95% of people just want a nice normal life on our beautiful, already abundant planet where they can have their basic needs met and cute experiences with their loved ones and then we have these 5% of evil, narcissistic goons at the top fucking it up for all of us
"Male privilege isn't real because men get sent to war". Sent to war by other men. Specifically, by rich men.
That's an example of classism. In order for it to be misandry, it would have to be women sending men to war. Your anger should be aimed at capitalists, not feminists. Hope that helps.
i was thinking about overall reaction to both ttpd and showgirl and tbh taylor can never win, if she writes in a poetic way, it’s too wordy and complicated, if she writes in a fun, pop way, it’s too simple and has zero depth; and it’s the same people saying both of these things
Hot take: Bridgerton would not be as popular if it wasn't for the "diverse" casting. If it was an all white show it wouldn't nearly have the same hype as it does today. This show was a success off the backs of POC and the production does nothing to promote their POC leads.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but when you're done eradicating trans people and immigrants, you will still be broke, your life will still suck, and you'll still be a horrible human being.
i genuinely can’t figure out why they latched onto penelope after season 1 and tried to make the entire show and promo about her when it’s called bridgerton about the 8 books for the 8 siblings and s1 was a viral sensation bc of daphne & simon + their love,,,, not whistledown
