It feels wild that I haven’t consider this but. Yikes 😬

imma do it

resilience is not sustainable we are not supposed to endure life we are supposed to live it

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 mens worth and respectability was estimated by the number of his sexual encounters with women, Imagine if men who had sex before marriage were considered filthy and licentious, I.e) “sloppy seconds”

Imagine if penises and scrotums were deemed “vulgar” and “obscene” in all contexts outside of smut magazines for older women.

Imagine if men were barred from masturbation because sperm is reserved for reproduction. Imagine if mens bodies were considered women’s property for them to control and serve their interests.

Imagine if sex that didn’t involve injury to mens bodies were considered “vanilla” and “boring” imagine if women casually said things like, “beat that ballsack uuuup” or “destroy his dick” amongst their aggressive, drunk, larger, hefty female friends while men sit and chat with the boys on how to get their girlfriends to spend time with them and contribute to housework, what they hate about their bodies and joke how horrible sex is because it’s about women using men’s bodies however they please.

Imagine if hair on mens bodies were considered, “unhygienic”, “unsightly” and “un-gentlemanlike” even though it grows there naturally. Imagine if men who refused to wear makeup were considered “uppity” and “unkempt”.

Imagine if muscularity in men was considered “womanish” and “unappealing” and interests outside cosmetics, servitude and self-minimalism were viewed as “effeminating” to women and “Ovary busting”. in fact, everything you do to improve men’s quality of life and attain success in female-dominated fields is valued by how it effects women.

Imagine if boys were encouraged to show their arms, backs, chests and stomachs before they hit puberty, imagine if all the male musicians were young, unhealthily-thin, airbrushed pop singers who sing about needing girls to give their lives meaning and becoming every girls dream boy.

Imagine if male sexual abuse and exploitation were repackaged as “male empowerment” by sex advise columnists and sex positive organizations. I.e.) lick pussies and earn stacks, boii get it 👅💅🏼💵💵

Does anyone remember being told as a teenager that girls were more likely to go for older boys in relationships because boys their weren't at the same emotional maturity level as them?

we really were all out here getting groomed

Yes.

Dear trans women:

I know it makes a lot of you uncomfortable to face certain realities about biology and socialization, but there’s a fact you absolutely need to face. Not facing it causes many of you to act in ways that cause problems for other women. This causes them to react negatively to you. That’s not transphobia. That is women reacting to a negative pattern of behavior common to our male oppressors. 

In short: you’re acting like a guy, in a really bad way, and a lot of women won’t be comfortable around you until you stop.

If part of your transition doesn’t include recognizing, examining and discarding your toxic male socialization, you’re not done. You’re retaining the worst and most damaging part of modern manhood.

You need to drop your denial and recognize the following:

You are not better than other women

Your needs are not more important than those of other women

When you’re a self-centered, sexually entitled dick who attacks other women and makes demands of them, you’re not fighting for your rights, you’re acting like an entitled, aggressive male and that is neither feminine nor Feminist

Being trans doesn’t mean you can crowdsource pressure on women to fuck you and feel righteous about it

It doesn’t oblige women to silence themselves for you

It doesn’t give you the right to weaponize your emotional fragility and/or instability and/or violent temper to make women do what you want

It doesn’t give you a pass to throw childish, alarming tantrums, glorify violence against women (yes, even TERFS), take leering knife selfies talking about harming women, threaten to beat people, ACTUALLY BEAT PEOPLE LIKE YOU DID MY SISTER, talk gleefully about murder and rape of women, incite others to ostracize, “punish”, beat, rape and murder women, or generally be a violent, threatening, misogynist prick who damages other women’s lives because you don’t like them

It doesn’t make it cool to start screaming like a salty-ass MRA whenever someone brings up female biology, pregnancy, periods, the horrifying realities of growing up biologically female, or other stuff that temporarily takes the spotlight off of your specific situation

It doesn’t oblige anyone to give you more than the baseline respect and support owed to everyone

It doesn’t mean you can sit there screaming for support, recognition and pussy while doing absolutely nothing for your fellow women in return. Don’t talk about Stonewall, don’t scream generalizations, I’m talking about you. What have you done for your fellow women lately, compared to how much you want from us?

Not sorry for pointing all this out. These are all repeated problematic behaviors that I have witnessed again and again for twenty goddamn years.

Individual bits may not apply to you, and that’s great. None of it may apply to you, and that’s awesome. If so, this lecture ain’t for you in the first place, sorry for taking your time. 

But the bottom line is, non trans women are not second class citizens who should defer to trans women. Thinking that way is thinking like a sexist male, and acting on it is acting like a sexist male.

Sexist male behavior makes everyone else uncomfortable and should never be catered to. Recognize when you’re doing it, and stop it. Or don’t be surprised when you get a lot of rejection and negative reactions from women who are FUCKING TIRED of being treated this way.

And that point in time is never lived. It’s always either on its way or you’ve past it and you never get a moment in time

no more arguing with terfs, only threats now

So you admit that you have no arguments? So you admit that you have to resort to threats because you lack the intellectual ability to come up with a reasonable comeback? So you admit that you’re a cabbage brained fuck wit?

Its really crazy to me that we’ve gotten to the point where being photographed in public without consent is like acceptable

This is what I've started thinking every time I see a TikTok of a random stranger. We've seen what happens to people who go viral from their own posts-- why expose a stranger to that possibility just for existing? What if whoever's in there didn't want people to laugh at them? What if they don't want to be a meme? What if they just want to exist in real life, and not in someone else's framing on the Internet? Other people are not for public consumption.

Literally this.

People don’t want restrictions cos they want to fuck up your social life, or to stop you seeing your support network etc.

They want restrictions so their employers can’t force them into work.

I just reblogged this w/ no comment but I actually do want to add: the rich are so good at/experienced with stealing from us, that they’ve created an entire system that has brainwashed you into not paying attention to/normalizing their theft. The last thing you need to do is defend them.

the way some americans expect sympathy from ppl who are/were victims of their country’s imperialism is astounding to me. “the soldiers are poor and mostly young” i do not in fact care lmao 🙂 most of the countries you people have bombed are poor beyond your fucking comprehension, do you really think poor people only exist in the united states? and the fact that ive literally seen ppl be called classist over saying this lmao

imagine getting offended by being told to be sympathetic to poor exploited people just because other poor people exist

imagine ppl coming to your country to kill you and throw bombs on you because they want to go to college

If you have no idea what it’s like to live through a war as a civilian, do not lecture people who do. Americans have not faced an actual war on US soil since the civil war, and by the way, some Americans are still not over it even five generations later. Don’t tell people who faced war in their lifetime that THEY need to respect YOUR troops. That’s insane. How are you going to go to someone else’s house and set it on fire and then complain that they’re oppressing you by not respecting you enough.

"terfs are incels" is the exact same thing as "suffragettes just can't find a husband." feminists have been facing the same misogynistic narrative for over a century. none of this is new, and none of it fazes us.
