The concept of "dressing your age " is sexist. It's almost exclusively directed at women, particularly women older than 40 who wear something that is considered revealing, immodest or sexy. When was the last time you saw someone write an article about how a male celebrity is too old to wear something? Probably never. But there are dozens criticizing female celebrities for being middle aged or older and showing skin.

It's time to admit it has nothing to do with age at all and has everything to do with desirability politics. The only reason anyone says Martha Stewart is too old to wear a bikini is because she is past the age that patriarchal society deems as desirable.

BELIEVE JEWISH WOMEN

tw femicide

her name's Sania Khan. she's a Pakistani woman and on her account she talks a lot about the misogyny their culture's based on and she encourages woman to be more independent and free. she talks about her ex husband, how he abused her, how she's scared of him, how her family doesn't support the divorce decision and gives her lectures about stop talking about it. she even made a video about how she's gonna get killed because of this, but people told her to "quit being dramatic". she got shot and killed by her ex husband (a note, she's 29 and he's 36). she got killed because she knew what she deserved. she didn't obey her husband. she didn't just take the abuse. she walked away. she got a divorce. she didn't just "shut up about it". she talked about her struggles and let women know they're not alone. she's not on this world anymore because a man thought he's entitled to her life.

Content Warning: The following post contains material that may be triggering for sexually entitled men. It contains strong and sometimes challenging depictions of male inadequacy and female suffering and is intended for mature audiences only.

Since the beginning of time, men have been programmed to seek out the most orgasms possible with the least amount of effort. Giving them 24/7 access to an electronic rolodex has been a complete nightmare for women. Men treat us like vending machines; put in the least amount of effort and expect sex to come out. Even the "decent" ones are human participation awards suffering from serious delusions of adequacy. And the rest have the communication skills of an alarm clock and the desirability of an onion peel. Their ambition far outweighs their dating skills and no amount of rejection will wake-them-the-fuck-up. As far as effort goes, men are still a notch above sticking their dick in a vacuum.

Why whenever lil girls do empowering things or things outside the gender norm do GROSS ASS ADULT MEN MAKE THE CREEPIEST FUCKING COMMENTS???

tw: pedo vibes

So here's a lil girl, A CHILD leaning to grill from her father. Very cute, very sweet and we love it.

But why the fuck did I see a shit ton of comments like this

ABOUT A LITTLE GIRL

SHE'S A MINOR! SHE IS A CHILD!

SAYING THIS ABOUT ANOTHER ADULT IS HORRID BUT SAYING THIS ABOUT A CHILD WTF?!

These sorts of comments are such pedo vibes

This wasn't the only comment like this either...there was a lot of these comments...

Why do dudes think this stuff is okay???? Why do dudes do this stuff constantly??? Wtf

Write like the ghosts of all the women in history who weren’t allowed to write are standing right next to you wondering what a laptop is and why you’re still in your pyjamas.

So I'm on youtube, looking for reviews of Damsel because I loved it and wanted to find a comment section with like-minded people. Only I never ended up participating in any discussions. Oh there were a bunch a reviews, some of them positive. But I got distracted by the overwhelming amount of reviews made by middle-aged white men with horrible titles.

Now did I expect everyone to like it ? No, of course not, taste is subjective. Do I think the movie is perfect ? No, it's a B-movie if we're being honest, the plot is very basic and there is not a lot of depth, though I think there is more than meets the eye. It's a power fantasy movie, with all the suspension of disbelief and fun that entails. A turn your brain off, you leave feeling badass kind of movie.

All the same, the heartbreak and frustration I feel after clicking on a few of them, watching about a minute, and going through the comment sections is immeasurable. Because the commentary was always the same, "this is anti-white men" (media literacy is dead by the way, because how ? How was that a conclusion ?), "hollywood pushing the girlboss agenda", "worse movie ever", "why do all female protagonists have to be strong, why can't they be soft", "feminists and their anti-marriage propaganda". Guys, I don't know if it's just because I'm in my mid-twenties now, or because more men have become radicalised, or both. But I am so, so tired of this shit. So tired of feeling like some men want to put me in a very small box and keep me there because they feel entitled to it. And I'm by no means someone who doesn't largely fit in the mould to begin with. I'm a girly-girly with no desire to act like a man or fight like one. I appreciate book Sansa Stark so much for the symbol of soft power that she is, and I do agree that there should be more women like her in fiction. But that these men feel not only comfortable, but entitled to throw so many tantrums trying to shame and force me to never stray from the mould, and watch as they do the same to women who do not and should not have to fit into it, more and more grating. Why can't we have power fantasy movies ? Why does it make them so angry ? I've never seen their power fantasy movies get dunked on. Hell, we usely enjoy them alongside them. Why can't they do the same ? Why must everything targeted at us be something for them to ridicule ?

And do you know what the worse part is ? While watching the movie, I caught myself thinking "most of this isn't unrealistic for a fit woman with magical healing slugs, she only really survives because the dragon is sadistic and enjoys prolonging her suffering, surely the filmbros won't get too annoying". I already knew on some level what was going to happen, because it's what always happens isn't it ? I wast just too hopeful it seems.

i don’t want to hear a man say that “women have equal rights. we don’t need feminism” ever again. have you ever woken up at 9 am on a random friday and found out the government is telling you what you can and can’t do with your body?? no?? then shut the fuck up.

Happy international women’s day!

This is your daily reminder that 19 women are still held hostage by Hamas, where they are raped and tortured.

Bring them home 💛

is everyone going to ignore that fact that their was a subreddit called INCELTRANS which was about lonely incel men becoming trans to get with lesbian women.

is everyone going to ignore that fact that their are lgbt people defending chris chan, the guy who raped his own grandmother and admitted to only becomg a woman was to get with lesbians.

why is the lgbt allowing predators and rapists in the community and defending them????? why?? at least on on twitter and everywhere else their are people who are lgbt are calling them out.

STOP DEFENDING THESE PREDATORS BEACUSE THEY HAVE THE SAME LABELS AND FLAGS AS Y'ALL.

No wonder LGB without the T was trending.

trans womem are not a born woman. y'all cant have periods, cant get pregnant, y'all do not experience anything a women goes through. POINT BLANK PERIOD.

WHAT Y'ALL ARE, IS GROWN AS MEN WANTING TO PREY ON LITTLE GIRLS AND WOMEN AND LESBIANS. I'm so glad their is people with a decent mind exposing these predators.

THAT'S WHY PEOPLE ARE HATING THE LGBT COMMUNITY CAUSE Y'ALL ARE DEFENDING AND PROTECTING GROOMERS AND PREDATORS!

these assholes are not y'all friends, KEEP CALLING THEM OUT!

ONE THING THAT PISSES ME OFF MORE IS SEEING DUMBASS CRYING ABOUT BE MISGENERED WHEN THAT IS NOT EVEN A THING. Y'ALL ACTING DUMB AS HELL, YALL SUFFERING ISN'T SHIT COMPARED TO PEOPLE WHO FOUGHT IN WAR. tiktok exposed some of the most mentally ill people in the whole world and it needs to go. tiktok was a mistake.

also another thing china and russia have their own lgbt laws, they just don't want men going into womens bathrooms, men going after little girls, parents abusing their child for money.

PEOPLE WHO LIVE THEIR LIVES ON THE INTERNET WILL FOREVER BE UNEDUCATED, DUMB AS HELL, AND just plain dumb, stupid and ignorant.

So, a radfem reblogged a post of mine, so I blocked them, obviously (I don't want any more of them in my notes, thanks) but this was also on their blog, and I just...:

Like, listen. I am not going to defend the porn industry, there is a lot of bad stuff there (like any other industry, even if I do find a fair amount of what porn depicts to range from ridiculous (no way that position is practical, please stop doing the splits) to gross (no kinkshaming). YKINMKATO. As long as everyone involved is sober and consenting, and no one is hurt (in ways they aren't okay with in the case of kinky stuff) it's just people making movies.

Plus, there are a ton of independent folks making porn that makes them feel good.

And mostly, the idea that watching porn makes you dangerous is absurd (literally have been to seminars about this). Watching movies with sword fights or ninjas doesn't make you more likely to attempt a duel or to try to ambush someone and martial arts in their direction.

Men are not all looking for excuses to commit violence. Watching a porn with violent or dehumanizing imagery isn't giving people the idea that those things are okay.

And plenty of women enjoy porn, and aren't convinced that they really want to participate in like... group sex or choking.

Ugh, this did sort of sound like a defense of porn, but honestly, whatever. As long as it's all SSC.

The point is is that media consumption =/= real life actions. Men aren't inherently predators. And watching porn "with the same eyes that you look at [other women] with" is a fucking absurd thing to demonize. Yes, I also watch cat videos and the news with the same eyes, I'm not looking at my cat and expecting her to do tricks, and I'm not watching everyone around me and expecting tax fraud or murder to break out at any moment.

To punish and institutionalize teenage boys for jerking off and looking at naked women to protect hypothetical girls and women is batshit crazy. "It's not normal"? For teenagers to masturbate and be curious about bodies and sex?

I know radfems think all sex involving men is oppression and violence, but to propose enacting violence on their own sons for something almost everyone does is beyond.

Me: explains the patriarchy hurts everyone

Cis men: * sending me 28 unwanted dick pics not knowing if I was a minor or an adult as "punishment" for talking about the patriarchy*
