Same honestly. The way he wrote about the women in the book was also extremely creepy. Like... really you want us to root for the main character who fantasizes about raping and murdering a girl for... being part of some celibacy club? This is a deep work of art?
Also, quite frankly for a dystopian book it was just too over the top and didn't really have a unique message. like "bad stuff is bad" type of message. F451 was a bit better, the themes about mindless entertainment as a distraction was good but in other ways, it was also similar. Maybe I just don't get dystopian books but Brave New World was actually good in my opinion.
please, tell me i’m not the only one who hates 1984 by george orwell with all the heart. everyone always describes it as this incredible book that will change your perception of the world, but honestly ... it didn’t. for me.
Ice flowers in Norway.
It is a natural phenomenon that occurs in the seas of the polar regions. The flowers are formed from water vapor that escapes from cracks in the thin layer of surface ice. When these vapors come into contact with the cold air, they crystallize.
Oh no you found us out
That's 100% the case, in fact I am a man too, I learned today

the really ironic thing about terfs is like 70% of them are just transmisogynistic cishet men who pretend to be women online just to get a platform in transmisogynistic feminism. pretty fucked up
I think they might mean men forcing women to send them nudes or something, I'm not sure though but that would be another thing that is rape without touching
Most men don’t understand that you don’t have to touch a woman to rape her.
If you're expecting your employee to fix a mistake that's costing you millions, then they deserve a very significant cut of it.
If they were being fair, they'd ask for half, which would be $9 million. But they didn't even ask for that. They asked for a raise, which would probably be a few thousand a year. And you couldn't even give them that.
Calling people TERFs for having feminist blogs or mentioning female genitals is definitely very McCarthyism-coded
Honestly I've noticed that a lot of the anti-terf shit is like McCarthyism
Like the "if they talk about feminism a lot they're probably a TERF"
reminds me of the shit like "If they talk about workers rights they're probably a communist"
Like damn maybe kind of accurate but how is there no "are we the baddies" moment here?
Like seriously what is this shit bro? @oarfishing https://www.tumblr.com/oarfishing/758650339125821440/alright-im-sick-of-seeing-terfisms-on-my-dash?source=share
Can you point to the post where I used a trans slur? or reblogged a post with a slur?
I have reiterated my views like 5 times and you are STILL strawmanning. And now just straight up making shit up.
Do I? I don't remember doing that, advocating for that, or wanting to do that. Trans people should have the same opportunities for employment and union rights as everyone else. Like 95% of people believe in gender. Just because I disagree with gender as a construct doesn't mean I want trans people to starve. Are you insane?
Also I wonder if there's a reason that the first job you mention as transphobic was nurses? It seems like the male-dominated jobs are more transphobic as a whole. Why do you always single-out the female-dominated jobs?
You kind of remind me of MRAs that blame feminists for the draft.
So you're socialist but GC radfem hates unions.
Can you point me to the post where I said I hate unions or where I said somehow simultaneously agree with the stances of every single GC radfem in existence?
I don't do drugs but I must have been tripping balls or something
I don't know why people think sex work has to be only one of these two:
Completely banned, where pimps, buyers, and prostitutes are all legally held responsible
Completely legal, where pimping, buying, and being a prostitute is fully legal and government regulated
A better solution is a compromise between the two. Buying sex work, and selling sex workers can be illegal, but being a prostitute can be legal.
oh lmao I thought, well, hoped it was satire.
I don't know if you've ever actually talked to an MRA or not honestly.
So MRAs are usually the type to say shit like "im pro-equality and that's why im not feminist", aka these poor men you're defending or maybe even you too. They also think the whole world is a matriarchy. Yeah, turns out they don't even think women in Afghanistan are oppressed, and yes I did ask. They don't think women are or were ever oppressed in general either. They are also mostly anti-abortion and even anti-no fault divorce to basically spite women.
On the other hand, feminists, yes even the KAM radfems, don't take mens rights away. Men are just mad if we also have rights, and have ALWAYS been using the same arguments against feminists. The "feminists hate men" thing was definitely popular during 1st wave feminism.
Also, essentially all of the actual polices that they say are sexism against men, are because of traditionalists, yet... it's women, specifically feminists, that are just... driving them to insanity for saying KAM at misogynists on twitter??
But good luck with the coddling these dudes though! I'm sure these men will listen to you!
Alright this is gonna be tough for alot of ya'll to hear but leftist and progressive spaces need to be more welcoming to men especially cis het white men. The more we speak bad about men the more men will go down the alt right pipeline. And obviously that's a bad thing. If we want men to be on our side we should create a space where they can also feel included because if we don't more men will go down the alt right and alpha male pipeline
I'm an 18 yo womanI'm a socialist and radical feminist and I will post about these topics a lotNo DNI but I will roast you if you deserve itkanrade #2 ☭✯☭
