why does “sexually liberated” or “in control of her sexuality” have to mean “has a lot of sex” I hate this sex positive bullshit what you’re essentially saying is that women who don’t have a lot of sex aren’t ~liberated~ which is some misogynist bullshit leftist men use to manipulate women into having sex with them

Pay attention, 2014 Mad Men: This little girl is holding a LEGO set. The LEGOs are not pink or “made for girls.” She isn’t even wearing pink. The copy is about “younger children” who “build for fun.” Not just “girls” who build. ALL KIDS.

In an age when little girls and boys are treated as though they are two entirely different species by toy marketers, this 1981 ad for LEGO — one of our favorite images ever — issues an important reminder.

Idk who needs to hear this but liking frogs or rats and having a unique hairstyle and doing your makeup “not for men but for [insert other group here] to think you’re cool,” wearing weird mismatched earrings, having an androgynous sense of style and being popular on tiktok for your videos about gender dysphoria and even having pronouns in your bio doesn’t make you an “enby sapphic/ he-him they-them dyke” or whatever you’re just a woman who has really cool interests but who has internalized the misogynist idea that women can’t be interesting. I feel like so many young women correctly identify certain forms of femininity as oppressive, but then instead of actually dealing with the root of it they just replicate another, more fashionable kind of femininity in the form of seeking male approval, competition with other women, shame at being women, while wearing big boots and a silk slip instead of high heels and a silk slip etc. it’s like these young women are so desperate to prove that they aren’t Cizz Women because “cis women” aren’t even considered human beings much less interesting or nuanced or complex. That desperation informs every facet of these women’s personalities to the point where they have to pathologize normal parts of their personalities as “queer” or “trans” in an effort to prove to themselves and others that there is something intrinsically different about them and the Other type of female human being, the type who is subhuman and identifies into it. please can we all stop with this mind numbing CONSTANT performance? Your best attempts at regaining your humanity by denying other women theirs will always fail you. No matter how hard you rail against the fact that you are female and therefore a woman, you won’t escape it. Nor do you need to— womanhood is not oppressive, men are. Being a woman doesn’t mean that you can’t be a fully realized individual— if you feel that way, it’s not because of dysphoria it’s because of internalized misogyny.

so... there are nonbinary people who align themselves with “mlm” communities, right? and there are some nonbinary people who feel comfortable dating straight partners. so... do gay men have to call themselves “non-women attracted to non-women?” do straight people have to call themselves “non-men attracted to non-women” and vice versa? or is it only lesbians that have to play weird word games?

thankful i wasn’t born in this time with such invasive moments being put out for the consumption of total strangers. sometimes i don’t feel comfortable posting to friends and family yet new parents livestream gender reveals and baby showers. influencers upload birthing videos and regular milestone photos/videos their child experiences for years all the while their child’s privacy is known to a faceless audience. couples make relationships public domain then feel the need to explain why they’re no longer together. as if is anybody’s business. just a very odd age of unsafe oversharing.

If you really care about preventing government tyranny, your #1 priority must be making sure criminals have rights.

And that's not a joke or an exaggeration.

If criminals don't have rights, then all the government has to do is find some excuse to label people as criminals, and those people will no longer have rights. It's what literally every tyrannical government in all of history has done.

If you believe that people who break the law should forfeit their rights, you're literally as pro-tyranny as a person can get.

I can’t believe it’s considered “unprofessional” for women to go to work bare faced. It’s absurd. I will simply not be painting my face before I head to the workplace because I am not employed as a circus clown.

like i saw this tiktok video about the definition for lesbian as “non-men attracted to non-men” and this girl was like “it’s not centering men, that’s just the way that the english language is structured” and one of her examples was that “in order to spell impossible you have to write i’m possible” like??? she was trying to say like that’s just how english prefixes work, so the definition doesnt center men at all, despite the fact that man is the only noun in it. she also said like “it’s like nonbinary, the prefix non negates the binary so it doesnt validate the binary” which… lol

it made no sense and people in the comments were agreeing and i just… how do they not realize how stupid this all is.

a lot of detrans women seem to very quickly be bombarded with questions about what they're going to do to look more feminine again...seems kinda fucked up.

like a community of women isolated and alienated as a result of gender roles (among other issues but that's the key one here) and we're just gonna chuck a couple more gendered expectations at them?

people asking if detrans women will get reconstructive surgery or laser hair removal, offering them make-up tips or talking about reclaiming femininity...it really seems like the opposite of the unconditional acceptance detrans women need.

(i'm talking about this from the perspective that pushing femininity onto ANY woman is inherently harmful, rather than a detrans position. but another harm caused by this is of course that detrans narratives are being pushed into another box. no two detrans women have the same experiences, positive and/or negative, with transition; or relationships with their bodies. women can absolutely love their post-transition bodies, or have mixed feelings or feelings completely unrelated to transition or just feel completely neutral about their appearance. but whatever the needs and motivations of individual women, femininity is harmful to its core and shouldn't be encouraged as a "counter" to transition in any way.)

bottom line is, (de)trans women don't become more or less female at any step along their (de)transition. they are and were women all along because womanhood is not an identity, it's just female reality.
