there was a great study a few years that went into the whole "ppl online are bigger jerks than irl cuz theres a virtual wall and no repercussions" and the researchers were expecting to see that be the case but it turns out that people who were really angry or argumentative online were also found to just be assholes in person and people who were pretty patient and nice online were found to be patient and nice in real person as well

and it just debunked that whole cynical idea that people will naturally be mean if theres no punishment for it

source another source

the researchers found that being online didnt make people more hostile, but that being online allowed already hostile people to dominate forum conversations, and the less aggressive people were much less likely to reply or engage, ending in just the aggressive people bickering at eachother

seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises it’s about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors

I work at a bookstore and hearing one of my male coworkers call smutty romantasy "the downfall of society" because it's "literally just porn" radicalized me

Men have an entire industry. Entire industries dedicated to their sexualities. Let women have fantasy sex. there's not even a camera crew involved.

Left this in the notes

maybe i’m a joyless bitch but i actually do NOT think it’s funny to see women being like “the house is just in my husbands name” or “my husband makes all the money” or “i don’t even know who our mortgage is with” or “the only bank account/credit card is his and i get an allowance” like i do NOT find that cute or romantic and i am begging these women to Stand Up. you should at least be named on the deed to your house and the title to your car and the bank accounts even if you don’t pay for them/earn all the money. you can’t stop existing in the eyes of the law and the credit unions simply because you have a husband. if you’re raising his children and washing his socks half of everything he’s got is yours and it needs to be yours LEGALLY BY NAME. "he takes such good care of me :)" girl you are a PRISONER!! that’s all

The thing is... let's say everything goes perfectly. Let's say you're not a prisoner. Let's say you're blissfully happy. Let's say he doesn't leave you for the nanny and leave you with nothing.

Statistically speaking? He's going to die decades before you do.

This isn't theoretical to me. I used to work for Wachovia/Wells Fargo. I had more than one wonderful old lady customer who literally had no idea how to pay her property taxes or file her income tax or who had their mortgage or ... anything... and part of handling her husband's estate was helping her sort through all of his random papers to try to figure out if he had life insurance or if he'd left her any savings or investments to live on, and then teaching her how to work a checkbook (I didn't even TRY to teach most of them how to use online banking, a checkbook register was overwhelming enough).

Even if everything goes perfectly, statistically speaking, fifty years from now, you will be alone, and you'll be alone for a long time. Maybe he'll leave you something to live on. Maybe he won't, but he's probably not gonna be here as long as you are. You better fucking know how to take care of yourself.

Removing these regulations will make America sick again, cause neurological and intellectual impairment in children (due to less regulation of lead), and raise the level of preventable cancers in adults (due to less regulation of known carcinogens),thus reducing American productivity and greatness.
