when women claim men don't have the same emotional capacity as us, i think it's untrue and more importantly letting them off easy. throughout history men have written insightful poems and novels on the human experience or on how "love conquers all", but digging deeper reveals they were still sexist assholes--men definitely have the same emotional intelligence as women (we're in the same species so obviously) but they simply teach themselves that women are the ones who aren't deserving of their empathy. this is why "nice guys" and the men you know are still as dangerous as the strangers you don't know; it has nothing to do with their moral compasses. it's just that no matter how virtuous they are, that virtue is more often than not entirely closed off to women.
still thinking about that deranged ask I received earlier, where the sender assumed I was a lesbian and said I’m not welcome in queer spaces.
the thing is, I’m straight—and I don’t believe I’ve ever said or done anything on here that could give anyone the impression that I’m a lesbian.
except for being an evil terf, of course. this conflation of terfs and lesbians is something I see more and more often. looney troons thinking all terfs are lesbians, and all lesbians are terfs.
when they say “kill all terfs” or “punch terfs” I think we all know what they really mean.
They’ll send you the most graphic violent threat for saying “only women get periods” but the lengths they go to defend this man, who raped his own elderly disabled MOTHER.
So doing decades of depraved shit, including raping his own mother, is a just response to being “bullied.” TRAs excusing the actions of a sick man and pretend they aren’t just MRAs.
Was at an event today and damn I forgot how many women in India are just massive pick mes 😭.
She went on and on about how poor men were suffering under modern women. I found the best way to challenge these women isn't to argue and talk crap but just bring out gentle questions phrased "innocently".
Things like, "woah are they doing reverse dowry now?" and them obviously backtracking.
there should be an extension to every social media site that automatically blocks every male so you never have to read their comments, see their posts or be reminded or their existence while using the platform
it's not that i don't think feminism benefits men, because it does. what makes me upset is that people use this as a primary talking point to convince men that feminism is good, as if that's the only reason they should care and not because girls are living human people
