100% for real, this lil fash shithead has no idea, but this is such an absolutely perfect encapsulation of how the squalid institution of hetero marriage under capitalism is. Marx could not have phrased it better himself.
This is what they have in mind as the ideal, as the institution that the state is supposed to revolve around. All the means testing, tax shit, etc etc etc All the medieval fuckery that treats people who aren't married as different from people who aren't. This is what it comes down to.

The thing is that I don't want to be employed but I also don't want to be unemployed. I actually want our entire economic system to explode but that's not really a feasible option right now

equating womanhood to submissiveness is so laughable to me. My first moment of conceptualization of gender was seeing my mom's fury, courage, and fearlessness in protecting me. The worst thing you can do when backpacking is get between a mother bear and her cubs. There is no feminine urge to get abused or being a sweetiepie or whatever the fuck the stockholm syndrome princesses over at Tiktok are posting about

My Twitter algorithm is cooked and it keeps showing me responses to a thread of people being horribly lesbophobic because a lesbian said something like "well I wouldn't even touch men with a pointer laser" in a jokey after a talk on bisexuality and that's apparently biphobic as all hell, but the responses saying that that lesbian is 'limiting herself, sexuality is fluid', that she's biphobic and insulting bi people, that she would emotionally abuse a bi partner if she had one (what?), that she's a terf (of course, she didn't mention trans people, but of course...) etc etc etc apparently are not lesbophobic. No lesbophobia here no sir.

I don't know how to get back into sport... I need to do something but everytime I'm like "ok today I'll go for a walk/do this workout/try the gym again" I end up half-purposelly sabotaging myself

people will write think pieces on why they can't enjoy female characters or f/f because they aren't fuckable to them or crack "hates women so much he's gay jokes" but if someone even cracks a joke about hating men people start having a nuclear meltdown

I have seen a lot of wild and insane claims as to what Israel says Hamas is doing and a lot of obvious propaganda (and has been debunked by freed hostages too!) However, as a feminist, I am not comfortable affirming with any kind of absolute statement, that a male-run militia such as Hamas would never commit any form of sexual violence. Rape is always used as a weapon of war by all sides regardless of the ideology of the combatants, so I think it would be foolish to deny that the most likely thing is that it's happened on some level on both sides.
There was a ceasefire when Hamas decided to murder children in front of their parents and rape their mothers. But please keep lecturing us on how negotiations would’ve ended a genocidal regime that still has kidnapped babies and women living under sexual terror.
So the answer to terrorists murdering and kidnapping innocent people is to retaliate by murdering 30 times as many more innocent people instead of going after the terrorists? By leaving them starving? By bombing zones that Israel promised they were safe? By murdering NGO workers and reporters? By destroying all of their hospitals? Really? That's your argument here? That this is somehow equal? That this is deserved?
Is Israel not also, at this moment, killing children in front of their mothers? Do you think their soldiers are unable to perpetrate sexual violence as well?
Your problem is that you don't consider Palestinians to be actual people, they're subhuman to you, they're nothing more than potential terrorists!
What you don't understand is that if that's your approach against terrorism, you will only create more terrorism. You think the children who survive today will not end up radicalizing and joining Hamas or some other organization in the future? Do you think the Iraq war was justified as retaliation for 9/11 or are you able to see that the US started that war for their own political and economic gains rather than as 'revenge' for a horrible terrorist act? In my own country, Spain, the worst terrorist attack in our own history, was actually in response to our then-president supporting the US in their invasion of Iraq! Terror and violence only ever brings more terror and violence!

Can't believe Taylor caused an eclipse just to promote the lyrics to one of her new songs. You gotta respect the hustle.

Since I have to give my life over to work on something I do not care even a little bit about so someone else can make loads of money, rather than living and working for myself and on my own happiness, at the very least they should not make me pretend that I care or am motivated by their soul- and world-destroying latest capitalist enterprise.

i also think that the way people on here talk about protests is sometimes needlessly fearmongering like it's always good to have your wits about you and be aware of dangers from cops or counterprotesters but also i feel like a lot of people on here have become convinced that by going to a large peaceful protest march they are taking their lives in their hands which is just simply not the case (the point of those events is optics and showing that a lot of people are willing to show up for the cause) and i'm worried it might be deterring people from actually showing up to protests

This makes sense. Yet it's also paradoxical that so many people who will do this due to to a self-feeding cycle of lesbophobia & biphobia (society says that relationships between women are not real or serious enough so many bi women internalize this which leads them to, in general, pursue relationships with men more so bisexuals who are more into women try to distance themselves from that) also at the same time are also a) the first to come at lesbian's throats if we say we'd prefer to date another lesbian who would understand us better and b) very open about how bisexuals are made invisible and disregarded, when they're often not claiming the label of bisexual for themselves due to stereotypes. It's as if they believe in combating stereotypes about bi people but don't wanna "do the work" themselves to challenge them as women who are effectively bi yet more into women.
@rosalesbeausderholle this was getting too lon for a reply. it's all very :/ in her case i dont think calling herself a lesbian and a homosexual while openly writing about enjoying sex with men is about being afraid of bisexuality, otherwise she wouldnt be that open about being into men (and then later she says how she doesnt like men and isnt interested in them and then even later she says that might change tho...and so on).i think she is a raging homophobe who doesnt want to allow the possibility that women who for real arent into men. not even as teenagers, not even once, not in the future to have word that describes us.
i think she wants there to be a word to distinguish bisexual women who are more into women or for who being same sex attracted is very important and a dominant factor in their lives (fair) and who feels that she has a lot in common with lesbians (fair) and wants other people to understand that being into women is important to her (fair) and that it's not something she could ignore/just not have gay relationships (FAIR) and probably also wants people to understand that for her being into men is something that she sees as not that important (fair) and the fear i guess is that the world might define her by her attraction to men and ignore what is important to her namely women and also the very real impact and meaning both homophobia and loving the same sex have on her life (i'm assuming that is what most bisexual people mean when they bring up "not being gay enough" - fear or not being taken seriously and not being seen in that their love and attraction is real and immutable and so are their experiences) - that is my experience with this kind of woman and that is how i read her -
the homophobia comes in when these women decide that the distinction between a woman who is not attracted to men and a woman who is but doesnt feel like that is very important to her, or who has mainly (or only) relationships with women etc is negligible and the words lesbian and even homosexual should be for those who feel that same sex attraction and relationships play a big enough role in their lives to call themselves that. they just dont feel like being an honest to god actual homosexual is different enough from being bisexual but with certain values and experiences and they call us selfish and exclusionary and hateful every time we try to speak our truth that it is a significant difference to us.
i absolutely see how many harmful attitudes towards bisexuality, namely that bisexuals allegedly cant or dont take gay relationships seriously and arent strongly affected by homophobia leads to these women feeling the need to group themselves with lesbians but i also see how open these women are with being into men so it isnt that they are in denial about it or have a problem with anyone knowing about them being into both and i see how stubborn they are about acting like women who have never and will never be attracted to men either dont exist at all or do but cant have a single word to call ourselves bc "isnt the important thing that we all love women?"
