i wish i was dumb enough to be a choice feminist and genuinely believe that doing my hair, makeup, etc. was just "because i want to", but unfortunately every time i do those things i am painfully aware of the influence the patriarchal beauty standard has on me
Do you know how much PROPAGANDA it takes to convince a whole country of people that their military exists solely to keep them safe, and not to keep people around the world under their rule by destroying their homes and infrastructure while stealing their resources?
you hear men saying 24/7 “all women are whores” and not a single man comes saying “no dont lie or my girlfriend isnt” but women loose their breath to defend men
we live in age of great moral panics about things that don’t matter and zero moral outrage over some of the most egregious societal sins we’ve ever seen
"How to kill a woman without leaving a trace" was googled 163 million times in 2025. But it's okay let's talk about alimony and the male loneliness epidemic.
The problem gentlemen is you think "rapist" means scary man in a hoodie lurking in an alleyway at 3am. Of course you'd block that guy.
But it's the boyfriend you really loved who was angry that you hadn't wanted sex for two days and pinned you for the bed and then felt really bad about it.
It's the really sweet guy backstage who you loved working with for the whole production who knew you only wanted to be friends and then got you drunk at the after party and raped you in a dressing room.
It's the husband who whined and pleaded for sex long after you've said no for hours and refused to take no for an answer until you gave in every night for four years until you realised what it was.
It's the childhood friend who knows your parents and is your brother's best mate who suddenly attacked you when you were 17 and then told you he'd be thrown out of Oxford if you said anything.
It's the kind colleague who offered to drive you home from that conference when there was a train strike and then forced his hands into your pants in a lay-by and then threatened to leave you there at 3am if you didn't stop being a cockteasing bitch.
We're not dumb. We see the constant attempts to make anything short of stranger with a knife made up, regret, our fault really, a matter of the woman not being clear.
We know why you keep trying to make this 'not rape'. Because if coercion, marital rape, pressure, manipulation and exploitation count, then the comforting fantasy that rape is only ever a stranger with a knife falls apart.
Jacob in 2024: “I feel very proud to be a black creole vampire in this show. I hope all it does it open the gates up for more. Let’s tell more stories, let’s be monsters and enjoy it. Let’s be problematic. Give us the space to be a problem.”
“elia vs lyanna” “arya vs sansa” “dany vs sansa” “cersei vs brienne” why don’t we do this with the male characters? i know why but i want everyone to use critical thinking
the thing about israelis vs americans is that israelis dont try to hide their evil while americans are professionals at playing victims and will call you privileged and racist for not sympathizing with their mass murdering sprees
all this recent discourse just proves americans love to see themselves in a forever state of victimhood but never ever in a position of privilege which is why they get so angry whenever someone else brings up the privilege the average American has over the global south
why do americans deserve comfortable lives at the expense of the people who live in the countries that our military invades? when y’all make this argument, you’re actively admitting that you think the lives of americans matter more than others’
I don't fucking care how underprivileged you are, how poor you are, how the system fucked you over, it will never excuse joining an army that kills us, ruins our countries and takes away our children, the audacity to say this is a privileged take is frankly shocking to me.
