Honestly the 'women should have a right to choose' thing is baffling in the same way that it was when pro Makeup and Shaving Women said it. The BPers and separatists have no political power they're not personally going to destroy the male fucking industry and take their boyfriends from them by force.
They know we have no power. They just hate being reminded of their cognitive dissonance and not being coddled.
sorry for shooting your dog with a crossbow you have to understand Im american our education system is in the gutter most of us were never taught that killing peoples beloved pets with medieval projectile weaponry is wrong and we're all too burnt out to research it on our own time
*Using my iPhone to command a random immigrant to deliver a prepared dinner with any meat I want right to my doorstep*: “I’m not really privileged because I can only afford to do this once or twice a week”
The thing about people is that they believe what they want to believe, or what’s most convenient for them to believe at the moment. There is very little use in trying to convince someone that they are wrong about something. The best teacher is experience. One of the most difficult lessons you can learn is how to step back and let other people take a fall even if you know that the path they’re on will cause it. It’s a lonely life, watching other people walk themselves into pain and suffering. But there’s not much else to do on this planet. Only thing to do is make yourself as comfortable as you can in this game, if you opt to stay in.
So many feminists live in a delulu fantasy world not advising women to make decisions based on the world we actually live in, but instead a world of how things should be
i think it's the byproduct of the leftie mindset, when you strive to be so open-minded your brain falls out; and feminism is a left wing ideology so it's suffering from its shortcomings. you know the joke about liberals at their core wanting to rebel against all social conventions out of arrested development, so they'll defend vile shit like pornography or pedophilia because conservatives are against them. it's a bit similar here. the trappings of defending stupid shit that women do in the name of feminism, because from a feminist viewpoint all women are perpetual misunderstood victims, and not real humans that are active participants in their own lives.
one of the most frustrating things about the neil gaiman situation (and others like it) is people who were fans immediately moving to a different person to idolise ('well, at least we still have x author' or 'please tell me y author is still a good person') and in this situation specifically, 'terry pratchett would be furious'. no!!! you do not know!!!you have no idea whether terry pratchett or any author you like was/is a predator! you cannot take a situation in which a man's public persona as a feminist and supporter of women allowed him to prey on vulnerable women without suspicion and then look at all the other men who portray themselves as good people and say 'well, these ones are still okay though.' just stop idolising celebrities!!!!!!!
As a person who has worked with many groups of kids in my life, none of them has been hurt by a #childless woman on social media. A woman who is openly child-hating to the point she complains about crying kids on an airplane presents no harm to kids. These women are self-aware enough to know that they are not capable of caring for a child. What they truly hate is society constantly pressuring women to be mothers and caregivers. Even women who claim to be feminists refuse to understand that children are hurt by people who claim to love them and spend loads of unmonitored time with them (relatives, teachers, religious figures, and other caretakers). If you even spend five minutes in childless/antinatalist female spaces, it's about birth control, getting tubes tied without being married, and memes about having free time or dunking on people who say women without children can't be truly happy. Nowhere in these pages are women recounting abusing children or fantasies about harming children...you know...like men would.
