SOPHIE RAGE masterpost from only chapter 19 of Howl’s Moving Castle
Pretty clear that a lot of people simply do not take misogyny as seriously as they take any other form of systematic repression
woman-hating is treated as passé when a global average of 147 women are killed by male partners & family members every single day
today’s imaginary therapy session went really well
i may seem like an angry person on the surface but deep inside im actually angrier
Imagine if male genitals were treated like female genitals? Like testicles weren’t even referred to as testicles and some men didn’t even know what they were actually called and the general area was just called “penis”.
Imagine if boys were told that their prostate doesn’t exist. Imagine if hairy genitals on men were called “bearded snakes.” And they don’t know how many different holes they have until adulthood. Imagine.
imagine if men were flocking en mass to get “testicle tightening” surgeries. imagine if men weren’t taught that they could have orgasms. Imagine if it were considered rude to say “penis” even in debates regarding legislature involving medical care about men’s penises. Imagine penis was a word that was considered too “dirty” to be said on television. Imagine if penis’s were depicted only as meat-sticks that fit in vaginas with no other value. Imagine if teenage boys heard joke after joke about how all dicks smell terrible no matter what
Imagine if people thought the more a penis was used, the smaller and more useless it became.
Imagine if people didn’t understand how penises ‘work’ and therefore their orgasms didn’t matter.
Imagine if having a penis meant you were paid less money.
Imagine if the ideal male genitalia were small and hairless like a prepubescent boy’s, and larger/hairier male genitalia was considered gross and sloppy.
Imagine if unreciprocated cunnilingus were the norm.
Imagine if boys were taught that sex was expected to hurt for them and were told to lie back and think of England, to grin and bear it.
Imagine if male reproductive conditions were under-researched and under-treated. No known cause, no known cure was the default. Reproductive pains considered normal for men, and their reproductive complaints mocked and dismissed.
Imagine that teenage boys were put on hormonal birth control, perhaps because they’re thought to help these mysterious ailments but with the side effect of making them sexually available to women all the time without risk of pregnancy.
Imagine if male hormonal cycles (high T in the morning, low T at night) were mocked and considered to make men unreliable. If men’s competence and judgment was questioned because of it (“He’s just mad because it’s that time of the day! They’re so testerical in the morning” or “Can a man really hold office if he’s just going to start crying every time the evening rolls around and his T drops?”, including worse mockery for older men who have lower T in general and might have erectile dysfunction, prostate cancer, or other older male reproductive issues).
Imagine if there was legislation on men’s right to ejaculate without the intent to reproduce because “every sperm is sacred”.
Imagine if the few times women could be bothered to make sure men orgasmed, they made it all about them and continued stimulation right through the refractory period because they thought the man could come better than that. Imagine hand jobs with no lube was the most that most women were willing to do for men. Imagine men were mocked for requesting the use of lube. Imagine fellatio lasted only a few seconds and then women would ask, “Did you come?” Imagine if semen were considered the most disgusting bodily fluid, worse than piss or shit or snot, and even the words “sperm” and “semen” were met with dramatic disgusted faces and gagging, while women readily and openly talked about period blood, discharge, and female ejaculate. Imagine if squeezing too hard and biting were the norm and men felt that they had to pretend it didn’t hurt. Imagine if it was common for women to do this on purpose because they knew it did hurt and that’s what got them off. Imagine if men were expected to use products that made their genitals irritated in order to have softer skin there, or a different shade/colour, or a different smell. Imagine they were to expected to have intercourse or a rough hand job in spite of this irritation.

hi, trick or treat? :)
Treat!
Graveyard Ingredients that aren’t dirt:
- Leaves
- Twigs/sticks/bark
- Pincones
- Stones/rocks (NEVER take from near or atop a headstone- those are offerings!)
- Snow
- Energy: you can collect it in many ways, I personally like to tie it up into knots for later use
- Seeds, nuts, etc from trees
- “Weeds”- Wild dandelions and yarrow from a graveyard are especially potent.
- Grass clippings/cuttings
- Wildflowers
The standard respect, offerings, and inquiry of whether the spirits of the graveyard are okay with you taking these items still apply! They’re just less tricky to obtain than dirt and still potent in spellwork!
I think tumblr should let you know when someone unfollows you. Just for fun. What’s a little more anger in the world
