Geek & Misandry

Hey anon, I got a hold of this person and they had no idea so I was able to give them a heads up so they could lock down some of their socials, I had even found them listed on like...a doxxing website. So you did a real good thing, thank you.

People making typos in groupchats and then getting whaled on is extremely funny unless I am the one making the typo, in which case you guys are not funny and being very immature

sometimes I randomly think about the time a girl posted in this girls only Facebook group I’m in telling everyone how she broke up with her boyfriend and he lied saying that he lost the spare key she gave him, only to then break into her apartment when she wasn’t home and steal the cat they’d adopted while they were together, but then he denied having done this and she didn’t really have proof that he took the cat since he wouldn’t let her come into his place and look for it. And then another girl saw this post and knew her ex-boyfriend, and she was like “girl. I used to hook up with your mans back in xxxx and I still have his number. If you want, I’ll hit him up and get him to invite me back to his place and see if your cat’s there.” And the OP was like “bet.”

So this woman hit up homie dog, asked him out for drinks, went home with him, slept with him, and then woke up in the middle of the night and TOOK THE CAT. Like she had only said that she would confirm if the cat was there but then she took it upon herself to steal this woman’s cat back. Like she full on Trojan horsed this man and then hit up homegirl like “I got the goods. Where you wanna meet.” And then the two of them posted a photo of them together with the cat to the group.

And I just think women supporting women is so beautiful.

HONESTLY also like. part of combatting misinformation is just accepting that you'll fall victim to it sometimes. no-one can be an expert on every imaginable subject and most people don't have the time to factcheck every single piece of information that comes their way. the key thing IMO is responding appropriately when someone points misinfo ie not doubling down and being like 'no there's no way I could be wrong about this'.

Sounds legit

terfs celebrating that the international chess federation has banned trans women from competing in women's FIDE competitions, because it's sooooooo feminist to argue that women are so biologically inferior and nowhere near as smart as men and thus can't play chess on the same level. girl that's not feminism that's literally just misogyny

they'll lick any boot that stomps on trans women

The situation is actually considerably more insidious than just saying that women are biologically inferior.

The reason why chess tournaments for women specifically exist isn’t because women can’t compete against men, but because professional chess has a rampant misogyny problem and female competitors often face horrific harassment from their opponents, coaches, audience members, media coverage, and international fans online. Many chess tournaments are actively unsafe for women, so tournaments specifically for women are to not just give them more attention and coverage, it’s also a measure to protect them from sexism and violence.

On August 3rd, an open letter from some of France’s top women players was posted on twitter, talking about the misogynistic harassment and sexual violence that women and girls face in the chess community and that many women are forced to stay silent about. It got dozens more signatures from women around the world. At least one person who signed it and one of the co-writers of the letter, Yosha Iglesias, is a transgender woman (and a very famous player).

For this new rule to be made almost immediately after women, including at least one transgender women, it seems like it’s direct retaliation for daring to talk about misogynistic violence. It’s also very blatantly shifting the blame for that harassment onto transgender players, specifically transgender women (though trans men are also suffering because of these rules), implying that removing trans women from one of the few spaces in professional chess that they can feel semi-safe will solve the issue of sexual harassment.

It’s punishment, plain and simple. Punishment for daring to speak out about misogyny, punishment for daring to speak out about transphobia, and punishment for daring to stand in solidarity with trans women. Women spoke up against violence and hate and the ICF responded by trying to drive a wedge between them, by pinning the blame on their fellow women and fellow victims.

And now, transphobes who have never once given a single fuck about chess or sexual violence among chess players are flocking to praise a transphobic decision that is only being used to further silence victims of misogyny and violence. They don’t care that the letter was made as an act of solidarity between cis and trans women over the violence they all face, they don’t care that this will only further hurt women in the professional chess community, all they care about is that it hurts trans people.

i feel like i’m going insane. what fucking alternate dimension are these people living in. who thinks this way about landlords

Your landlords are profiling your pet. If your dog looks like a pittie, doberman, shepard, or other "danger" breed even if you know they aren't it's a way they can tell you no.

It's also a way they can deny you (who might be a protected class) because you wouldn't give up your dog just to live there. So if they can see something in your dog they can deny they can use it against you.

Landlords are not uwu friends.

It's also so they can make you apply (and pay) for each new pet, as in you only have permission for an elderly black lab, not permission for one dog.

I just saw Terfs freaking out because an article said "people with endometriosis" and they corrected it to say "women".

...Literally what the fuck? Women are people.

This happened to me ages ago when I said "people" in a post some terfs felt was "good but should have said women". Ironically, I was not even making a concious effort to be inclusive. It is just default language that is really common and was common well before this whole Terf spotlight.

This isn't a "people who menstruate" situation where the language is designed to be inclusive and is an active change, it has always been common sometimes for even people who don't think about gender at all to use "people".

Hey guys, is it socially progressive to insist on not labelling women as people?

Shoutout to this terf who didn't know or give a shit that cis men can and do get endo. It may be rare, but there are also a lot of under-reporting going on due to misinformation.

And also the bs that if we say people then we decentre women or something like... no. We still live in a cis-centric society. You say "those suffering from menstrual pain" and the absolute majority think of cis women. Fuck, I'm a dirty TRA and I still default to a cis perspective because it is the lens I have seen the world through. Hell, I know some trans people who struggle with that because even when we change our language we can still have mental defaults.

The idea that saying people instead of women (casual reminder that women are people) will result in people not knowing or caring or decentering the cis is about as realistic as this terf seeing my "terfs never interact challenge" and abiding by it. Which is nada.

Fuck off terfs no one wants to talk to you, go hang out with your fashy friends challenge.

I don't care what class im playing, charisma will NEVER be my dump stat

You are right, and you should say it.

painfully true

Imagine saying "where sweets are baked, not bought" about the decade that invented blue raspberry

My mum never baked not once. She told me when I was young that she used to make a really good caramel slice. But I only heard of it in stories while I was buying mass amounts of Ghost Drops that I kept with me in a plastic bag during summer holidays.

this is so upsetting, PLEASE rb to spread awareness

PLEASE, PLEASE REBLOG THIS, WHETHER YOURE JEWISH OR NOT.

THIS IS A SUPER IMPORTANT PART OF OUR HISTORY, DONT LET IT GET DESTROYED.

Why are Jews always the punching bags for the dumbest shit?? Is the antisemitism act not getting tiring for people??

the good ending

This is nice. Although I read it as "trains" at first, which was also nice.
