Behind every misogynist is a girlfriend/wife and/or mother who is okay with it.
When I write about how much I love asexuality and celibacy, I always feel like I need to add a qualifier of "and there's nothing wrong with healthy sexual relations," etc. I'm not doing that anymore.
The entire world is obsessed with the carnal and cheers you on to objectify yourself and others in every way imaginable, 24/7, 365. If you want validation to do that, look in almost any direction at any time, because you'll most certainly find it from our very sick society. But you're not going to find it here.
I see willingness to engage with conflict as one of the ultimate signs of trustworthiness.
you can’t trust someone who fawns or freezes or falls into hysterics at the slightest hint of a conflict, or who equates conflict with abuse. Their “support” only lasts up until the point where they feel their interests don’t entirely align with yours, which upon reaching they will abandon you like the cowards they are.
controversial take, but I don’t have much sympathy for people who decide to carry a pregnancy to term where the fetus ends up being a severely disabled person, just for them to complain about how hard their life is. you had a choice. you made it. stop being a perpetual victim. the victim is the disabled person who has to suffer now from your selfish decision.
I sometimes feel betrayed, concerned, in disbelief, and even disgusted with women's willful participation in patriarchy, but I am working on that. A day will come when I no longer care about any of it. From that moment on, it won't even register to me anymore. I will have accepted I was never truly owed sisterhood, nor is there a point in building it when you realise that the majority of women are deviants themselves, trapped in heated heterosexual foreplay.
Sisterhood comes across as a euphemism for labour from childfree women who are either in homosexual relationships or are celibate while the majority of women offer nothing to help those women's broken backs. They're more likely to drop a drawer of knives on their backs, really. It's not something I want to be a part of. Even among women, sisterhood is to sacrifice yourself for women who cater to males or have failed catering to males but learned nothing from it.
One day when I happen to see their struggle amongst themselves in endless cycles of empty words, cute slogans, and briefly trending hashtags while they continue loving men, regardless of how many times they prove unsalvageable, I'll not feel emotional about it at all anymore. And I will be a happier woman for it.
only just remembered the conversation I had with the person who said they couldn’t read anything written by a lesbian because they were a bisexual and it would be seen as infiltrating a space that wasn’t intended for them and wasting resources that weren’t theirs to use and they were terrified of getting in Trouble.
"men can be misogynists while having gfs so why can't women do the same" and "sexualizing men is getting back at them" are such insidious false equivalents lol misogyny is a default for any male and they use sexualization as a tool of oppression because the system is built to oppress women. it's in their interests to keep women under the boot and their hatred for women isn't a source of cognitive dissonance in their relationships with women because they have the power in this dynamic. you claiming to be a misandrist while having a bf just proves you're a willing participant in your own subjugation and that you're all bark and no bite though
