I Made A "which Mutual Am I" Thing So Here You Go💥💥💥

... Said literally no worthwhile economist

the fact this is an actual fucking sentence is INSANE

this sounds randomly generated

Assembly language, various coding languages, and compilers were also invented by women!

Coding was also female-dominated in the start because men thought it wasn't worth much so they let women work on it. Oh... how wrong they were lmao

"women didn't invent anything"

I think this deserves its own post without my personal ramblings mixed in:

Whenever anyone panics or whines or scaremongers about the higher rate of women attending university, it's important to examine why more women are motivated to attend university in the first place, because I guarantee you it's no female privilege of any sort that's driving more women to obtain university degrees.

Specifically you need to look at the job opportunities that are available to men without a university degree vs. the job opportunities available to women without university degrees.

A lot of the jobs / sources of income that are stable and pay well despite not needing university degrees, trade jobs like a mechanic or a plumber or a welder, are heavily male dominated industries. And male dominated industry is pretty synonymous with hostile towards women. I cannot blame women who resist entering a field they're likely to face a lot of harassment, bullying, and even assault for daring to be a woman who enters a male dominated job.

And when you look at the types of jobs that are available to women who don't attend university often most of their opportunities are going to be food service or retail, jobs that pay less than a living wage for you to be on your feet all day facing constant verbal abuse from customers and managers alike.

So if a woman wants to be paid her own living wage and lower her chances of having to deal with abuse and harassment in the workplace, then she's more likely to be pushed to having to go to university.

There are of course exceptions to this (after all nothing is black and white and everything has nuance) such as many technician jobs in the medical field don't require a university degree, and are female dominated, and fetch a decent salary above what a service industry employee might make.

But overall it's interesting when you compare a lot of "pink collar" jobs like nurse or primary school teacher vs blue collar jobs like mechanic or plumber, the wages are comparable, but the "pink collar" jobs like nurse or primary school teacher will require a university degree whereas the blue collar jobs with a similar salary don't.

So when someone tries to worry and panic over the poor boys not going to university as much as their female counterparts and site the higher rates of women attending university as some sort of female privilege, to be perfectly honest I hardly consider it a privilege to need a university degree just to have a living wage without having to face harassment for entering a male dominated industry, to have more schooling than a man just so you can earn the same wages as his or even lower.

Calling people TERFs for having feminist blogs or mentioning female genitals is definitely very McCarthyism-coded

Honestly I've noticed that a lot of the anti-terf shit is like McCarthyism

Like the "if they talk about feminism a lot they're probably a TERF"

reminds me of the shit like "If they talk about workers rights they're probably a communist"

Like damn maybe kind of accurate but how is there no "are we the baddies" moment here?

Like seriously what is this shit bro? @oarfishing  https://www.tumblr.com/oarfishing/758650339125821440/alright-im-sick-of-seeing-terfisms-on-my-dash?source=share

queen shit

also it's so funny when someone says they were a loser in high school and their definition of loser is literally just not being in the popular crowd. I hate to break it to you but that's like, most people in high school. when I say I was a loser in high school I mean I would wear wolf ears to school and demand people call me wolfy and I purposefully sat like L from death note in class because I thought it was cool.

Oh no you found us out

That's 100% the case, in fact I am a man too, I learned today

AMAT (Assigned Male At Tumblr)

the really ironic thing about terfs is like 70% of them are just transmisogynistic cishet men who pretend to be women online just to get a platform in transmisogynistic feminism. pretty fucked up

"as a feminist i'm politically homeless" "the left is just as sexist as the right" "i won't vote for the left because they support the trans agenda". okay yeah but also the left (not the right) support

equal pay for women

keeping women in employment

fighting against sexism/sexual harassment in the workplace

reducing religious influence on public life

increasing social welfare directed at single mothers

increasing pensions for elderly women

increasing social welfare for disabled women

scholarships for young women and girls in education

women owning a bank account

women owning a house

women having the right to divorce

abortion

birth control

lesbianism being legal

lesbians being allowed to adopt

gay marriage

woc being able to vote

better housing conditions, better working conditions, better healthcare (not a woman-only issue but definitely improve womens life)

maternal leave

welcoming refugees (including women)

other parts of the left are also the only part of the political spectrum that support

abolishing surrogacy

abolishing porn

abolishing prostitution

abolishing religion

like at some point if "the left" (not a monolith. also you often just mean liberals) supporting self id is a deal breaker for you you have to realize you must be very privileged when it comes to class race and disability imo. bc poor women, disabled women and woc need leftist politics if we dont want our lives to become absolutely awful. not to mention "the left" isnt a monolith and there are parts of the left that dont support transactivism

but sureee keep saying "the left is just as bad as the right" at a time when the far-right is on the rise pretty much all over the world (or is already in power) and religious fundies are repelling women's reproductive and human rights as a result. i'm sure this is a very responsible, smart and feminist thing to do

This is just another why I don’t support prostitution as an industry. When bodies are for sale, everything is on the table. One of the women interviewed said at first she thought a man cutting a large piece of her skin off was just a fetish.

Can you point to the post where I used a trans slur? or reblogged a post with a slur?

I have reiterated my views like 5 times and you are STILL strawmanning. And now just straight up making shit up.

Do I? I don't remember doing that, advocating for that, or wanting to do that. Trans people should have the same opportunities for employment and union rights as everyone else. Like 95% of people believe in gender. Just because I disagree with gender as a construct doesn't mean I want trans people to starve. Are you insane?

Also I wonder if there's a reason that the first job you mention as transphobic was nurses? It seems like the male-dominated jobs are more transphobic as a whole. Why do you always single-out the female-dominated jobs?

You kind of remind me of MRAs that blame feminists for the draft.

So you're socialist but GC radfem hates unions.

Can you point me to the post where I said I hate unions or where I said somehow simultaneously agree with the stances of every single GC radfem in existence?

I don't do drugs but I must have been tripping balls or something
