Me And The Mutuals Havin A Laugh

I have incorrectly been saying ‘burqa’ when I meant ‘niqab’ for maybe my whole life.

man’s curious reaction when a woman drags his ass to the ground

“Why didn’t you call the cops?”

The South African Police Service is beyond useless.

honestly male dogs who’ve been abused by male humans are the real male feminist allies

this is not “iconic”, this is sad.

i feel so bad for her.

This will probably seem controversial, but I’m tired of these anti-bipartisan tropes.

The older I get, the more the left and right look like mirror images of each other. Republicans and democrats both hate women. They both hate the climate. Neither care for the general health of the population. When you get into the far left and right - both hate Jews.

The left is really big into identity politics right now, so they tend to cycle through who they support most pretty quickly. It all depends on who can claim the most victim hood. This is seen to the point that people are testifying in court hearings about TIMs in women’s sports who are not doctors, athletes, etc. A woman testified a bit ago saying “as a woman of color, I’m telling you no one cares about trans women in women’s sports”. As though being a woman of color had anything to do with the conversation - and she wasn’t even an athlete or doctor.

The right rarely changes their stances, but instead changes the severity of those stances. So we’ve always known, for example, that they don’t support abortion. Depending on the person, they’ll submit and vote on bills anywhere from the ability to get abortions up to 18 weeks, to the inability to get an abortion no matter what with no exceptions. So they keep the same general stance (anti choice), but they change the severity of that stance (no choice at all or maybe a choice up to so many weeks).

The idea that bipartisanship is bad, or just doesn’t exist, is truly stupid. Both sides are assholes. Usually, both sides are assholes in the same way. It all depends on how well they hide their true thoughts and agendas. Preaching about climate is easy, but you’re taking a jet all over the country? Saying you care about women is easy, but you’re advocating for a complete sunset of roe v wade? Both sides have/are liars.

I could on all day about this, but my point is this: saying “terfs are bad because they share the same viewpoint as conservatives” is just plain dumb. Not only do conservatives not agree with the “rf” part of the “terf”, but they also have their “te” opinions for different reasons than us. Trying to group us together tells me you are either just ignorant of how this works, or you are very thinly veiling your misogyny.

She was so real for that

If I could sum up one wish to come true in 2023 for all women as they reclaim themselves and their place in society is:

Forget about the men.

All of them. At every level. For every issue. Focus on women. Follow them. Support them. Help them rise.

Pass it on.
