Okay so, I don't think it's the "fault of feminism" by any means, and of course it's true that men are overwhelmingly the perpetrators in both instance, and yes men are completely willing to forsake male victims in the name of maintaining the male-dominated sexual hierarchy (so note: before someone calls me an antifeminist MRA I am agreeing to these points).
but sorry this is a huge cop-out from a community that on the reg tells me my rapist should have killed me, that "it's not horrific " when women rape boys, that "men can't be sexually assaulted much less raped", and that in general can't go more than a few months without making some post coddling female rapists. Like I think there has to be something else going on or people wouldn't be so gleeful about this.
IMO sure some of the people saying the things above are acting on behalf of male domination, but I just don't buy that's the whole story. Clearly there are some people that take great joy in preaching that male victims are whiny and stupid and not not real victims due to their own agendas.
I increasingly think hatred and prejudice against all abuse victims (including women ofc) is ingrained within our broader culture at a level that it's very nearly its own prejudice that should be discussed on its own terms with how it intertwines with other forms of oppression and prejudice, and - much like any prejudice - it can be co-opted and twisted into any ideology if it finds the "right" victims to hate on. And even when there's wide sentiment public support for some of these victims (ie children) in practice that doesn't translate to squat - children are functionally some of the most abused and least supported members of our society. And btw I do mean all abuse victims - emotionally and physically abused children, sexual assault survivors, survivors of racist abuse, domestic violence survivors, etc etc etc and obvs I do think this way impacts women way more than men.

one of the funniest parts of living in west virginia is the baffling contexts you hear country roads in. i was at the dentist a few weeks ago, and they have this device they scan the inside of your mouth with, and it plays country roads while doing so

I picked up 2 frogs and one toad.
The toad freaking peed on me.
When one frog jumped it got water in my ear.
I love them though so its fine.

this fucking tiktok of this girl saying her tattoo artist "injected microbes into her tattoo and poisoned her by using cheap ink" is so fucking...oh my god. I know clients don't know everything, people who don't tattoo don't know everything. But oh my fucking god.
The "cheap ink" in question? Solid Ink.
After being corrected that this isn't "cheap ink", she says she's "too lazy" to make another video correcting herself. People in the comments calling for her to name drop the artist because "She can't be allowed to continue using this ink on other people!! Report her to the 'tattoo board'!!!"
Yeah, the tattoo board, make sure the fucking tattoo union hears about this lmaooooo
anyway, the tattoo is on her stomach, seemingly didn't have saniderm on it (anymore, if she had it to begin with) and it was still healing...tattoos can get infected if they get dirty. Homegirl was wearing a croptop and it was still red. She has hella other tattoos, and I know people can start slacking on the aftercare once they're used to getting tattooed. She blamed the artist "switching to a new studio" as if there's something in the air of the venue or some shit.
Absolutely not even a suggestion that she MAY have gotten the infection due to her own possible misstep. I fucking love this job, but ignorant clients remind me that this is still a customer service job, and i would fucking HATE to get a client like this. Girl has a full SLEEVE by this artist, loyal repeat client, and the moment she gets an infection that very well may have been due to her own lack of cleaning, or maybe even over-moisturizing, she blames the artist? And in the most UNLIKELY way possible, saying that the ink was "mixed with contaminated water, maybe at the factory" oh i would be so beside myself.
