Having a stroke sounds like a euphemism for jerking off
sick of seeing disparaging comments towards men just for the sake of it.
“Ew, men are so gross looking.”
YOURE gross looking leave that boy who didn’t ask for your opinion alone!!!!! Just because it hurts a man doesn’t mean its feminism.
I love boys so much. Like so much. I love when they have long hair or no hair. I love when they do something passionately and refuse to back down from a problem. I love when they’re vulnerable and ask for help. I love boys.
thinking about the Trans teen who was murdered by his classmates not too long ago, who was referred to as “they” and “she” in every news outlet to downplay his identity.
The reason we don’t show up is because we’re “delusional women” according to the people MAKING THE STATISTICS.
its the same reason the 40% statistic for cops isn’t accurate and that’s because it only observed REPORTED accounts.
Hey, if you’re saying that transandrophobia isn’t real because trans men aren’t as oppressed as other trans people
And your evidence is that there aren’t as many trans men in history and that trans men don’t show up in public statistics as much
I need you to sit down, and think very very hard about why a population that consists of people who are considered to be women, property, barely not children, would not show up in statistics as trans men

Bruce: "Of course, chum."

12 year old Dick: "Hey Clark, do you think when you get married, I can be your best man?"
Clark: "I don't see why not."

today’s word is Weaponisation!!!
the act of using something as a way of attacking a person or a group :
weaponization of He described the weaponization of the legal system to promote a political agenda as fundamentallyanti-democratic.
The weaponization of language is the process in which language can be used to inflict harm on others.

viv uses everything she can, including information about other people that isn’t hers to share, to attack people. She uses the fact that other villains have merch, ignoring the context of her own merch and the context of why people are uncomfortable with that character specifically. Then she uses the criticism itself to defend harmful rhetoric. And of course then she uses her fantastic advocacy for sa victims.
(Also I’ve never seen a creator of a show doing the whole “Well!!! I wasn’t!!! But even if I was!!” Argument. Like bro you’re not a kid anymore you have to do better than that.)
if you can’t handle writing a topic in a show without endearing yourself to the villain who committed a true, happens in real life, sort of atrocity, then you aren’t equipped to write that narrative.
there’s a graceful and an ignorant way to handling every topic and almost media stays somewhere in the middle, with few exceptions for either side. Viv has managed to land so far on the ignorant side that it’s inspired me to start writing with my eyes closed, because clearly that’s how you can get funded by Amazon.

I had to break this to a close friend of mine recently but I worry that this sort of information needs to be more widespread, especially since we’re still coming off the popularity of “Don’t ever trauma dump on me! If you say anything about what you’re going through ever it’s trauma dumping!!!” And it’s equal and opposite reaction of “actually you must be there for your friends no matter what or you’re a bad friend and trauma cannot ever be weaponized that never happens you’re lying.”
You are not your friend’s therapist. You can be there for them, provide support, be a shoulder to cry on, but you are not and should not attempt to be a friend’s sole source of healing their mental health issues. Bad advice often does more harm than good, and you are not a licensed professional who is equipped with the knowledge of how to help.
I’m not saying abandon your friends, I’m speaking from the position of someone whose bad, damaging, habits were enabled by a friend who thought that watching psych101 videos meant they were qualified to heal me.

I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally. . . .
It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. . . .
The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. Europe has a set of primary interests which to us have none; or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. . . .
