clearly, the intelligent side of this debate. Absolutely no brain damage here.
you cannot convince me there is such a thing as an intelligent TERF. you have to have brain damage to enter.
"Hey what do YOU believe?"
"Google has plenty of resources"
"Google can tell me everything except the thing I am asking you right now"
it's so telling that when people make ridiculous claims about radical feminists, we always respond to them with actual well written and thought out arguments and sources but if you ask a tra something like "do you have a source for this" "what do you mean by this" they immediately block you because they don't have an answer
El Muchacho Monday
Your average woman spends....
7 hours a day on her cellphone
49 hours a week,
210 a month,
2520 per year,
And finally, 25200 per decade. That's 2.9 years of her life spent on Instagram, Tiktok, YouTube, et cetera, doing useless activities that she'll not even remember, out of 10 YEARS of her life.
Even dedicating one third of that total time spent on screens on activities that provide an actual feeling of furfillement would reveal itself to be incredibly more fruitful.
We're assisting to a massive collective time sinking right now, and it should worry every single one of us. Even you, dear reader.
Your average woman is putting off excercise, skipping cooking healthy meals and going for the junkfood, avoiding studying new things that will enrich her life by going on Instagram Reels, odds she's skipping socialization opportunities with family or friends, she's probably missing out on activities because she's being overwelmed by the SELF-CAUSED lack of TIME. Your average woman is very likely to report lack of focus and feeling less productive than she feels she could be. She's also likely to report having mental health issues, from anxiety to depression, compulsion or apathy, or general lack of energy even.
Those two different issues, time wasting and lack of satisfaction with one's life, are absolutely linked.
And in my honest opinion, dedicating maybe one hour or two per day to reading, self-improvement, journaling, meditation, excercise, actual in-person socialization, and so on is going to help a LOT those issues.
Your average woman is actually simply NOT doing any of that.
And you probably deduced that being average isn't a great thing in that case.
You owe yourself your own happiness and furfillement. You owe yourself time to yourself.
You owe yourself an excellent focus, you owe yourself accomplishment and success.
You know how to do it. Eliminate anything that's on the way. Uninstall Tumblr and Pinterest and Tiktok and Facebook and Twitter and... You get it. You're way more likely to WASTE your precious time and STEAL yourself from great opportunities because you dead-scrolled.
Then, with the remaining apps, electronics, etc, severely declutter their use down to what you DO actually appreciate, to what you consider important.
Technology offers great benefits but it did stole our collective time. It made us insolated from each other, it made us hyperfocused on the fake PLEASURE that electronic device "interactions" offers, and made us skip the ACTUAL PLEASURE that life offers us.
I am not writing this to be angry at YOU in particular, I am personally pretty angry at the WHOLE situation that led us to that. And I personally feel pretty helpless facing this whole situation, people are aware of this themselves but they don't really realize how bad it actually is.
maybe a hot take or uncontroversial opinion but I wouldn't date a girl who wears makeup. I wanna see your face
you can resort to namecalling or whatever but the bottom line is that nobody has managed to produce an argument as to why biological sex isn’t a social construct that’s remotely coherent, nevermind convincing. your attitudes towards people who don’t fit your criteria for being male or female – whether they’re intersex, trans, or just people who’s sex characteristics in any way deviate from your anatomy textbooks – make it extremely clear to me that your ideology is more important to you than actual human beings. maybe get out of your echo chamber for a change and stop picking apart people’s bodies to determine whether or not you’re allowed to want to fuck them, which is really the only reason most of you care about this discussion to begin with. ugh.
This is literally how I desisted! I got my first job, and didn’t want to explain my pronouns to my boss or any of my coworkers. so 30-40 hours a week I existed outside my own little world, as a young woman. after a few months I realised I didnt actually care about being nonbinary anymore.
need to collect more of these
im….real? my existence has… impacts? i touch things and they move, i breath in and out and the air buzzes around me? the sun rests on my skin…. grass is crushed under my toes… people see me and have an idea of who i am… my name is on papers….? im sorry this is… this is too much….
Lowkey thinking about writing up a new version of the masterdoc that cuts out the bullshit.
(main edits being: no liking feminine men doesn't make you a lesbian, actively dissociating and imagining a woman MIGHT mean something. especially if it happens frequently in otherwise healthy hetero relationships.
Do you have trauma? how young? what ‘lessons’ were you taught from this trauma? “I can only receive attention and care under the condition that I am a sexual resource available to men” If that sentence kicked you in the gut, your sexuality is probably fucked up in general. go to therapy. be very careful with “LGBT friendly” therapists when you do.
If sex with women makes you feel happy in ways that sex with men doesn't. maybe you have shitty boyfriends. but also maybe that is your inherent sexuality?) I would obviously want to do a fuckload of research before even writing a first draft but, is this even a thing anyone would want? can the masterdoc be fixed at all?
If you are taking the car to Chicago, can you even call yourself a feminist. There are Women on that train who want to have gay sex with you but can't because you are taking a fucking car to Chicago
