You Wanna Talk About Women’s Space? Men Have Always Been In Your Space, Women. You ALLOW Him In. You

Really fucked with me learning that when Michel Foucault first arrived at UC Berkeley his friends tried to warn him not to participate in the local gay bathhouse scene due to the risk of AIDS, but that he did it anyway because he thought that AIDS was just a social construct. And when he inevitably got infected with AIDS as a result of unprotected sex he refused treatment insisting it was a pulmonary infection, and he didn't get diagnosed until his symptoms were so bad that he was forcibly hospitalised.

"AIDS is just a social construct" sounds like the sort of thing you would make up as a parody of the sort of stupid shit a post-modernist would believe. But the most famous post-modernist in history believed it, and ended up dying as a result of that belief. And given how respected he was, other men probably also died as a result of believing what he was saying. I get that they didn't know as much about AIDS in 1983 as we do today, but it been around for a few years already, so one of the supposedly smartest men on the planet should have had enough evidence to be able to overturn the hypothesis that viruses are just social constructs.

Remember that “I think everyone should have the freedom and autonomy to make decisions regarding their own personal life” will never mean “all decisions and outcomes are equally good”.

Conversely, the statement “some decisions are better than others” does not imply the statement “decisions should be compelled.”

Freedom of choice liberalism has turned into a lazy ambivalence about how the choices we make either positively negatively impact ourselves and the people around us.

A critique of someone’s choices has been too often mistaken as an attack on their right to make that choice. For example, if I say that the glorification of tradwifery on TikTok will lead to bad outcomes for young girls, the statement “tradwives should not be allowed to post on TikTok” is nowhere near implied. If I say that wearing makeup encourages compliance by other women and perpetuates a patriarchal erasure of the image of women, I am not saying that I have any desire to make makeup illegal.

Those are certainly statements that feminists could make, but only assume that’s what someone means if they actually say it.

Opposing choice feminism does not an authoritarian make.

(of course this doesn’t apply to choices which directly aid or perpetrate sexual or physical violence)

the kind of people who make it an entire part of their personality that they're "kind" are always the people who do the most heinous abusive shit to you and they can never acknowledge it because to do so would go against their self conception of themselves as ontologically good people. they're always people who have like "be kind <3 just trying to make my way through the world as a little sunflower <3" as their bio or whatever and they're always the same people who will do shit like unperson someone over the most casual interpersonal conflicts. also they are almost always remarkably racist liberals.

doing exactly what misogynistic patriarchy loving males want and tell you to do doesn’t help to uphold or even contribute to the continuation of patriarchal society’s and other comprehensible takes from radblr

Women are not victims are patriarchy. They're co-authors.

The facade of helpless victim needs to end. As if a woman never set another woman up to get assaulted by a man, as if a mother never harmed her own damn kids, as if women don't don't possess a fucking lick of evil within themselves.

Refusing to coddle grown women isn't misogyny, by the way. Grow up.

bald pussy havers really think they’re an oppressed minority because of a handful of bush posts on tumblr dot com of all places don’t worry babe you have the entire entertainment industry and beauty industry and porn industry and also porn addicted men and also a good portion of women on your side ❤️ be strong you’ll get through this

It is okay not to like sex. You are allowed to hate it as a concept and view it as disgusting. Whenever you hear/see/read etc about other people having sex and you feel disgusted, it is simply a natural reaction and one that should not be vilified.

Sex is not some god that you're required to worship. It is not a sacred cow and you are allowed to criticize it as an idea, as a concept. Some of the most common excuses sexuals use to defend sex (e.g sex is love or ) are easily debunked and are nothing more than rationalizations of personal weakness.

If of course, you don't feel that full on antisexualism is right for you, you could always step down and be sex-critical instead. After all, sex is not above criticism and anyone who makes fun of you for not wanting sex is clearly insecure about their own inability to find joy outside of a brief high that isn't worth the time and effort.

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.
