when men designed the hierarchy of gender, do you think they just picked out some random qualities out of a hat and assigned them round robin style between men and women?
or maybe, just maybe, they designed masculinity to be about strength and dominance in order to create a system that ensures their supremacy? maybe they chose qualities to assign to femininity because they want women to behave in meek, docile manners and focus primarily on how visually and sexually pleasing they find us?
and then they claim that these bullshit stereotypes are some innate natural sense born in to us, in order to claim they are biologically superior?
brain sex has been debunked over and over.
masculinity is a social construct, not innate.
femininity is a social construct, not innate.
these ideas vary by culture specifically because they are socially constructed, and they always exist as a hierarchy because patriarchy pervades cultures all over the world, not just white ones.
the whole reason gender exists is to tell people how to live, to put people in to boxes and explain to them how to acceptably behave–who are their social superiors/inferiors.
gender needs to be abolished. all people are capable of having any personality
I apologize if there are already extensive masterposts going around, but here’s mine. This has info/links on DATES/TIMES, LIVESTREAMS, REWATCHING/DOWNLOADING THE EPISODES, EXTENSIONS, and TAGGING/BLACKLISTING. This is a long (and hopefully useful!) post, so most everything is under the Read More.
DATES AND TIMES:
All episodes air first in the UK on BBC One (official schedule) and then a few hours later in the US on PBS (official schedule). If you are using a livestream, remember to convert these times to your timezone! You can convert it here. All this information may be subject to change, so please double-check your local stations for the correct times.
S4E1: THE SIX THATCHERS
Jan. 1, 2017
BBC One: 8:30 p.m. GMT
PBS: 9:00 p.m. ET*
S4E2: THE LYING DETECTIVE
Jan. 8, 2017
BBC One: 9:00 p.m. GMT
PBS: 9:00 p.m. ET*
S4E3: THE FINAL PROBLEM
Jan. 15, 2017
BBC One: TBA (Please let me know if you find the time!)
PBS: 7:00 p.m. ET*
*The PBS website lists the times with ET, but I believe that it is that 9PM, 9PM, and 7PM in all time zones, and not just ET. I don’t believe that PBS plays the episodes live at the same time across the nation, but rather that PBS plays the episodes first on the east coast, ending on the west coast. Please check and correct me if I’m wrong!
LIVESTREAMS:
Unfortunately, I can’t find any livestream links for PBS, so here are some livestream links for BBC One:

hi [name of person],
this formatting is making me uncomfortable but I have to tell you something / ask you something that is vital to my career as a student.
I re-read and edited that sentence for an hour, but you’ll probably just glance over it for half a second.
thanks!

“Consensual sex” is just sex. To say that implies that there is such a thing as “non consensual sex”, which there isn’t. That’s rape. That is what it needs to be called. There is only sex or rape. Do not teach people that rape is just another type of sex. They are two very separate events. You wouldn’t say “breathing swimming” and “non breathing swimming”, you say swimming and drowning.
Happy birthday Queen
