Just saw the most chronically online take of the year of someone ranting unironically that you should look up every single artist with a song you enjoy to make sure they are unproblematic. And if you don't do this them you are as bad as the controversy associated with the artist, for being 'willfully ignorant.' They literally talked about how they went through more than a thousand artists they listened to and whittled it down to 200 this way. This is obsessive and they need help

what do you mean this song was written in A Minor? 🤨 cuff em boys

ppl complain abt everyone being so boring/inauthentic/detached these days but the second u have interests they deem unusual theyll be like "waitttt thats giving neurodivergent..." like damn its so awesome that were pathologising giving a fuck about anything they dont sell at a tj maxx

We have got to put the word "eugenics" up on the shelf and ban it as consistently as middle schools ban "skibidy". You all are either using it as a synonym for "bad" or, worse, as a synonym for "women having rights."

For a good read on two prohibitionist women, one white and one black, that talks about this but also delves into the racism that came from the white prohibitionist women at the same time, Id recommend Southern Horrors by Krystal Feimster

It's also remarkable that women managed to get prohibition of alcohol enacted through a Constitutional amendment, which has a very high bar compared to other legislation, when they still lacked the right to vote in most states.

the average 4channer lives in a different universe where both men and women have incredibly high standards when it comes to the opposite sex meanwhile we're all stuck in a reality where men will fuck a mcchicken and women regularly marry ogres who can't even make them orgasm and have no money

There’s a video with a woman who has Elephantitis impacting her face, and it’s very obvious that she has a low quality of life. And it’s a combination of living somewhere very poor and very remote. The doctalking about the condition mentioned in passing that conditions like this don’t really have a chance to get that bad in the States—where he practices in—because people with similar conditions are treated much sooner.

And all the comments were people saying things like ‘if you can afford it I guess!’ and things like that. And it’s like, wow, we’ve really gotten to the point where the average American thinks that their quality of life and access to medical care is the same as people living with the lowest possible access to medical care.

I’ve seen the same thing when the topic is conditions that are rare in the States because of public health initiatives. There are so many issues in the States, but being able to benefit from many diseases and conditions being unheard of here is not one of those issues. Like, instead of recognizing ‘I don’t know a single family who’s been impacted by spina bífida or cleft lip’ it’s ’well I want you to know my life sucks.’

It’s so self centered and delusional

I love the shear difference in reaction

The way 'feminist retellings' have become another name for multi-dimensional female characters being white-washed and reduced to misunderstood/wronged/abused woman who does conventionally evil things to protect herself/for the greater good will always make me want to hurl myself off of a cliff.

Often times, these retellings bear no respect for their original text, and simply write to be quoted on tumblr mood boards and praised by booktokers as 'subversive' and 'a new take on feminism.'

I need authors to stop writing feminist retellings until they understand that women can be

1. Evil

2. Ambitious

3. Cruel/unkind/selfish

And gender based violence against these women is not acceptable simply because of their actions. They do not need to be victims of earlier abuse, or extremely kind, or the chosen ones for violence perpetuated against them on the virtue of their gender to be condemned.

i think women need to get tougher about calling out the coquette bullshit as the weird fucking fetish it is. stop acting like a dumb bitch because it makes your pussy wet. keep your kink out of the public sphere. idc if you think it makes you more attractive to men. you are not a bunny wearing a bow you are a adult woman with a pastel bimbofication fetish. KEEP. YOUR. KINK. AT. HOME.

just cannot for the life of me understand why any woman would want to purposely surrender her intellect, assertiveness, leadership abilities, and backbone for literally any reason. these are things people spend years going through the crucibles of life to learn and acquire and y'all are just such fucking pornbrained deadbeat losers that you think being pretty and skinny and stupid and submissive is enough to get you by. the reality is that you look aesthetically ugly and dated and no one will ever take you seriously, especially the men you think you're actually capable of manipulating. someone wanting to fuck you does not give you power. if power is conditional on your willingness to be emotionally, sexually, and spiritually degraded, that power was never yours to begin with and it never will be. these men will discard you the moment you lose your novelty and you will have nothing but ten pairs of ballet flats, a fucked-up metabolism, and the dawning comprehension that you voluntarily threw away the best and most promising parts of yourself for a tiktok aesthetic.

just feeling like depending on the kindness of men is a stupid and naive thing to do. the types of men you're trying to attract will not be kind to anything they cannot possess and destroy.

and FURTHERMORE. like honestly if your response is "but life is harddddd because capitalismmmmmm" like fucking keep it honestly. life is hard for everyone. life has never not been hard. taking the long view of history, these are some of the easiest fucking times anyone has ever lived in. not to harp on the fact that women have been held political prisoner and murdered for agitating against patriarchy all around the world but like sometimes i want to put these women in a jubilee debate against like, mohtaram eskandari and shirley chisholm and arabella mansfield and anna howard shaw and ida b wells and idk fucking bella abzug and malala and have them try to defend literally anything about the way they're conducting themselves at a time in which women's rights are being eroded at catastrophic rates

I still blame men before women 99.9% of the time, but yeah... this. Seeing other young women make jokes out of themselves, lose themselves to consumerist bullshit and laugh about 'girl math' and going insane over men makes me twitch. Choice is great and I'm so glad we live in a world where, for the most part, women can be whoever we want to be, but the fact so many women willingly pander to creepy, borderline pedophilic men is beyond insane to me.

soooo much of the modern conception of gender is based around products and consumerism that people can’t even identify actual misogyny anymore. People reply to posts “It’s sexist to hate on something so many women enjoy” and that something would be a Stanley cup
