.@Venuseswilliams reflected on Aryna Sabalenka's press comments after her #RolandGarros exit today:
"I was feeling sad, actually...I don't think she wants to quit tennis. That would be a tragedy for tennis and a tragedy for her." 🤝
@h0neymoon08@gothgfdotrip You aren’t going to find the outliers of the male sex who do respect women to be your sexual partner. You are going to find someone from the millions of men who dont and who view sucking dick as degrading.
I'm sorry but I can't stand her. Even giving up nationalities isn't enough for her, she wants people to have their family threatened, give up all of their ties so they can shake hands? Do they condemn the Israeli former IDF, actual soldiers, in this way? American athletes? No.
Marta Kostyuk on Russian players who avoid giving a clear stance on the war, 'I wish there was some more clear stance on what's going on especially when your country is killing other people'
"Shnaider, after she beat Oliynykova, said, 'I'm not playing an opponent, I'm playing against a ball because the ball is the same.' Andreeva was talking about playing a Ukrainian player, 'I really try against the ball coming at me, it doesn't matter who I'm playing against' is it frustrating to hear? It almost sounds like they're trying to avoid talking about the situation. Is it frustrating?"
"For me it's not frustrating anymore. They are all grown ups. They know what they're talking about, they know whats going on. They have phones, they have instagram, they have news. They're clearly aware of what's going on. If this is something that they want to avoid talking about, they have to live with this, not me. I mean what can I say?"
"They pick a strategy that works for them and that's it. Obviously, not much I can do about it. I wish there was some more clear stance on what's going on especially when your country is killing other people. I don't know how you can sleep at night peacefully when you know that this is going on and you have nothing to say about it. Not much more I can say."

@_metamorphine_@Marians_Diary@lullabystarlust The weakest women who hated the women leading them domesticated themselves for men is my theory. Too many women fit that profile, they have an innate antagonism towards women doing well for themselves without having to be sexually available to men
@marygaitspill@brandenbishop see that’s the thing you & other women feel like men that have hurt you just need help but you’ll want the girl that was mean to you in high school to die.
@marygaitspill@brandenbishop Yeah it’s because of women like you who decide to coddle these men. Women like you nurture & raise men into horrible cretins because you refuse to hold them accountable or give them any consequences. You hope that in granting them humanity they’ll return the favor — they don’t.
Lowkey are cause they have the highest case of DV by men and misogynists are blaming lesbians for it. Almost all openly bi celeb women have been abused by male partners.
@venombytez@lsdcuredme There is nothing revolutionary about a woman posting her boyfriend to remind the community that straight relationships are real when gay rights are once again under attack in many parts of the world. being loud and proud like this is wonderful in saudi arabia.. wlw? Not so much.
i love how everyone loves speaking of the oppression poor working class men face and somehow... none of these discussions involve the violence poor working class women face from all corners.
There are actually many ways in which I sometimes find engaging with women to be arduous but we can never talk about it because the conversation is immediately hijacked into a referendum on men being easier, superior company, which I will always reject.
@soulinhervision They're very proud of being public threats unless it involves any negative consequences. They enjoy the fact that women are afraid to say no or just seem rude. But the moment you mention it and actually want to deal with it as a problem it becomes "slander" against men.
Actually, we don’t talk about how terrifying men are enough. Women are still staying silent so men can be comfortable. We are expected to go throughout life believing terrible things only happen to some other small group of people that is never us.
