was literally JUST thinking about this!
I've noticed the past year or so a lot of people seem to have magically forgotten how to spell and pronounce the singular "woman" vs. the plural "women." Many now both write and pronounce the plural form the singular way.
Example: "I saw many woman today at the supermarket."
Anyone else noticing this trend, and, if so, any explanation?
It seems vaguely disrespectful and a bit sinister. I can't really put my finger on why, but perhaps because it seems sudden and intentional. I've never seen "man" and "men" get mixed up.
Also, I'm not talking about spelling errors, typos, or how people whose first language is not English use these words.

You simply cannot expect intersex people to constantly center perisex feelings and ignorance in their discussion. Yes, the H slur is an actual slur, even when used to describe intersex and cosexed animals. Yes, intersex people are oppressed. Yes, they're often medically abused, not "given treatment denied to trans people". No, they're not "biologically nonbinary" and yes, they can be any gender just like perisex people. Many "treatments" for intersex variants hinge upon not what is best for the person's body and needs but what will make them appear perisex. To imply any of this is false is intersexist and to try to center your own worldview and feelings in a conversation about someone else's lived experiences is selfish and equally bigoted. If you are not intersex, the discussion is not and cannot be expected to be about your opinions and worldviews.
Do you have any favorite poets? đŒ any favorite poems? đ» or a particular book that you carried around for a while? đž

male castration anxiety is so funny like imagine if nobody ever tried to control your ability to reproduce so you just had to make shit up to be upset about

"you need to cite your sources!!" source: every second of my entire life which I have lived as a female human being
the idea that men should be included in feminism is actually insane. why would womyn include their oppressors in a movement for their liberation?? if men didn't exist, we wouldn't need feminism!
Hey, with how young you are I just want to say please be careful online, especially on Tumblr. In general I donât recommend kids your age be on social media because of the high risk of bullying and grooming and itâs kind of more risky if youâre on the political side. Remember that you never owe anyone your time or space, you have a right to boundaries and to say no to anyone at any time for any reason. Block anyone without guilt and with gusto and if there are any trusted adults in your life, tell them if someoneâs making you do anything or makes you feel unsafe. Good luck out there kid
i appreciate you :)
We truly will never be free because why is this most womenâs response to another woman not shaving the hair they all naturally grow from their bodies? Acting as though itâs some alien sight. And whatâs sad is I knew how these were gonna be before I even opened them. This visceral of a response over fucking armpit hair meanwhile men can look like literal werewolves and no one gives a fuck. Yet a post pubescent woman growing the hair (and I cannot stress this enough) that was intended to grow from her body has everyone ruffling their feathers. Itâs truly mind boggling to me. Even beyond how misogynistic it is, itâs also just plain rude. To feel this comfortable making these comments on a woman whoâs doing nothing but enjoying her life just because sheâs not fitting the patriarchal standard to a tee.
Anyways this woman is beautiful and itâs insane how society has brainwashed women into seeing shaving, something so ridiculous and a general waste of time, as a requirement to be presentable. And to the point where youâre shunned for not doing so. But remember ladies, Itâs a womanâs choice to shave/wax every inch of their body until theyâre hairless. And if you critique this ritual YOUâRE the misogynist #choicefeminist đ€Ș
