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
#yeah #lesbianism is not a thing #you either are a pervert or have some type of trauma #Stay like that or go to therapy idc #just don't pretend you're oppressed in the axis on sexuality #the reason you family complains that you can't have kids is because you're a WOMAN #the reason men want you to try their dick when you aren't attracted to it is because they think they're entitled to sex #its all sexism and misogyny #Also your family has the right to disown you when they want a straight kid and you're not #what they dont have a right to is to force you to marry a man #period
Do you see how fucking stupid you sound now?
this literally ^
Regardless, that's an excuse for a 13 yr old's behavior, this is a 50 yr old man with 200 billion dollars and the White House in his pocket any normal person would be immediately fired for doing the shit he does
maybe just maybe people don't think that elon musk is a Nazi when he is saying "jews control all the money and want to kill white people" is because the internet has collectively watered down the meaning of "nazi" so intensely that actual Naziism flies under the radar. after years and years of grammar nazi and feminazi and "everyone that disagrees with me is a nazi," the term Nazi has lost any and all meaning, so now real Nazis dont seem as scary and violent as they really are. so now, since everyone has the connotation of "a nazi is someone that corrects me, or a feminist, or someone that rudely disagrees with me on the internet," actual Nazis can fully admit who they are and no one takes it seriously because they think they're just internet trolls
So what are the ties between women being wary around men and actual nazis?
"Oh no a woman won't stay the night at her male friend's house and says she hates men online, guysss men are literally being genocided rn and this is somehow white supremacist too because why not". That's how you sound.
And how is it bio essentialism to acknowledge that men are socialized to view women as lesser? Please. Enlighten me. And looking at nazi germany's treatment of gender actually, is just more proof for women to be wary of men, considering they undid a lot of gains for women.
Ngl you're somehow making it worse actually.
Ok we get it, your entire personality is "omg I'm so weird look at me".
We used to make fun of people for saying "not all men" it was beautiful
Literally, and most people are honestly just as nervous to do that as you are!
I mean worst that happens if they don't like you is, well just that, it's not you're going to be yelled at for approaching someone in a normal way in any usual circumstance.
what they don't tell you about making friends is you gotta be a lil annoying. you gotta push past the fear of "what if they don't want to talk to me" and simply ask someone how their day is going, send a meme. you cannot connect to people if you're both just awkwardly waiting for the other to start.
Honestly I think automation will make socialism inevitable like how the industrial revolution led to the rise of capitalism and liberalism
Way to completely miss the point
I was scared of the day when I realized that my little brother was just like every other male, and that day came yesterday when he showed me "memes" he made with his friends about his female classmate being fat and ugly. They're 12. I feel so bad for the little girl. She had such a cute and genuine smile on the photo they used to make fun of her. She's just a little baby, and males in her class are already being so fucking terrible.
I told him that what he was doing was mean and that he should delete it, but he just brushed me off, and we haven't talked about it ever since. I swear, if I catch him doing something like this again, then I won't hold back on him.
"Women only started working very recently so a woman's place is the house-" shut up and feast your eyes at old photos of women from around the world doing physical labor only for them to return home and solely care for 5-10 children and the elderly parents of their husband.
Greek women represent:
These photos show Greek women doing the type of physical labor they would perform more often than not. At the luckiest working conditions for rural women (aka most of the country) they would start working the fields as children and when they got older they would work the same fields with their own babies on their backs.
On the way home from the fields, sometimes the women would carry the wood and the mule would carry the man so he could rest.
Of course, we can talk about the manual labor that is rubbing cloth and metal for hours on end, chopping and carrying wood to light a fire for a large cauldron your size, and stirring it for hours.
But we can also talk about how it wasn't for them to break and carry rocks in baskets for the making of new roads. They would gather salt, olives, and grapes and carry them on large baskets filled to the brim. For salt they carried thirty kilos each trip, doing fifty trips each, stepping shoeless on the grains of salt.
Carrying water was also their job, often moving large barrels with all the water a house of 10 needed upon hills that horses and mules had trouble ascending.
(more photos for salt mining and carrying here)
It's no hyperbole to say these women carried their incomes and households on their backs. "The good she-housekeeper is a slave and a lady" the old Greek saying goes. A "good woman" was a woman who could be strong and work at home and in the field, often described with the qualities of a mule. Men took their wives out in the fields so much that some who were a bit more educated had to make their husbands sign that they wouldn't ask them to work alongside them in the fields! (source in Greek)
Some of these photos are also from 1970. I'm missing a photo from Leukada showing women carrying baskets of the stones they broke, and I'll add it here when I find it.
Basically, women were out of the house forever. A woman who got to stay home and never perform any labor had some type of privilege (wealth, status etc). Same as the many privileged men around the world who didn't perform any labor at all.
