I think about your post about women’s feminist views coming from a place of genuinely loving men a lot.
radfeminism in general comes from a place of wanting to reform men and convince them to be niceys because women cannot let go of their love for them and honestly genuinely truly want to be loved back. and the tryhard misandry comes from a place of hurt, the realization that men view them as subhuman even though they crave their affection, respect and attention like nothing else - while desperately wanting to be treated as an equal. this is why they willingly and readily abandon both when the right nigel comes along lol they think that their nigel is different and that they themselves are different because they're experiencing it firsthand and their experiences are real, unlike everyone else's. but that's to be expected in a hetero society, no amount of politics will ever keep women and men from each other
I will never forget when I read a revolutionary, pioneering, piece of academic literature on feminist ethics by a truly inspirational feminist academic who is still active to this day, whose conclusion was that most women are too fucking stupid and dick-obssessed to even desire liberation from men, let alone to actually achieve it. I have never seen an academic veer from science and empirical evidence like that. The fact that she did it is a testament to how inferior and hopeless most women really are.
"The man who popularised bdsm was himself a serial rapist who tortured women and children" wait who is this? I mean checks out but I want to know
The S in BDSM comes from Sade, Le marquis de Sade. He was a french pedophile, rapist, torturer and kidnapper. He wrote about his methods, men loved it and intellectualized it and thus the Sadist movement was born and with it sado-masochism and bdsm and kink and all that revolting shit. His methods are exactly what bdsm proponents and porn addicts love. Rapeplay, bondage, whipping, hot wax, beating etc. Sadisme, Sadism, Sadismus, Sadismo, Sadizm, etc, in most languages the word for taking sexual pleasure out of torturing someone comes from Sade, who was a real man and a real criminal. It's a movement based on a serial rapist.
He started by raping prostituted women, some were so upset with his violence and perversity that they reported him to the authorities and that's when he got arrested first. He was released but put under surveillance, the inspector telling brothel owners to never let their girls go with this man.
Sade then met a poor woman who was a widow and a beggar. He offered her a position as housekeeper and took her to his house. He pretended to make her visit the house but in the bedroom he assaulted her, tied her to the bed, whipped her, poured hot wax on her wounds, threatened to kill her if she did not stop screaming, jerked off and then forced her to do blasphemous things because she was catholic and part of what he loved was making catholic women do things that are clearly against their religious teachings. She managed to escape through a window and ran to the village. He was imprisoned for 7 months.
Then during an orgy with some prostituted women and his valet, he drugged the girls and some of them felt sick and incapacitated. Him and his valet were condemned to death for the poisoning and for sodomy. But they escaped. Sade was from a bourgeois family, their money and influence helped him a lot. He was caught later but paid the prison guards and escaped once more.
After that, there were several cases in which he would hire servants who were almost always very young girls, children, and he raped them violently too. Turns out some of the girls had been kidnapped. They had marks on their bodies showing the abuse. The parents were looking for them. One father tried to shoot Sade but the gun misfired.
Sade was on the run again, went to Italy for a while, then went back to France. But his mother in law (yes, he was married this entire time) had been working really hard to get him arrested if he ever came back to Paris and that's what happened. But he was mostly accused of "libertinage" and "obscenity", making him a martyr to our modern liberals.
He was imprisoned for 11 years at La Bastille and was treated better than most prisoners because he was paying the staff for privileges. But in prison he was still violent, aggressive and he would write filthy and offensive letters to his mother in law and his wife, describing how he wanted to see them die. So he was not released early. He also wrote that for a man like him to become mentally healthy and to be treated fairly, he should be given access to girls in his cell.
That's when he started writing his pornographic books in which he pretends to be fighting for sexual freedom and against religious prudishness. He wrote novels illustrated with pictures and engravings of naked girls being raped, tortured and killed (yes killed, in gruesome ways) in much the same way BDSM photos and videos depict nowadays. But in some pictures he had little children drawn and participating in the orgies too.
During the French revolution, The Bastille was taken by the revolutionaries and the prisoners freed, unfortunately he was one of them. However, his books were perceived as horrible and concerning by the authorities, as something beyond simple obscenity, and he was placed in a mental institution, where he kept on writing his pseudo-intellectual garbage for a few more years before finally dying.
Years later, men got to read his books about torturing, raping and killing women and rehabilitated it. And now here we are. BDSM. The epitome of female empowerment.
being in a relationship with a man requires cognitive dissonance. When you’re a radfem in a relationship with a man, reblogging rape and dv statistics it’s so much more extreme than it is for the average woman.
Is having a son really worth the risk? I don’t think so. Go 4B, don’t contribute to the cycle of suffering, be unwilling to birth an oppressor or a victim. We don’t need any more babies in this world, whether they be boys or girls.
As a person who has worked with many groups of kids in my life, none of them has been hurt by a #childless woman on social media. A woman who is openly child-hating to the point she complains about crying kids on an airplane presents no harm to kids. These women are self-aware enough to know that they are not capable of caring for a child. What they truly hate is society constantly pressuring women to be mothers and caregivers. Even women who claim to be feminists refuse to understand that children are hurt by people who claim to love them and spend loads of unmonitored time with them (relatives, teachers, religious figures, and other caretakers). If you even spend five minutes in childless/antinatalist female spaces, it's about birth control, getting tubes tied without being married, and memes about having free time or dunking on people who say women without children can't be truly happy. Nowhere in these pages are women recounting abusing children or fantasies about harming children...you know...like men would.
i usually tell people openly that i don't like people. i don't like socializing. i get as much as i can handle just going into work
people are... stupid monkeys. sometimes. you know they types.
people who have always been bigoted and never questioned it. people who could do better with their ignorance but don't. and the worse kind: people who know they're wrong and continue to do it out of pleasure.
people take out their insecurities on one another all the time. in so many different ways.
and look at our planet.
jesus fucking christ come get these people.
still: there are others that give me hope. i know there are good people in the world. and also know that many people used to be bigoted but aren't anymore. people who are working on themselves every day, like me
you have to pick your battles and also put them in perspective
i COULD go off on anyone who said anything offensive or something i wasn't sure about. i COULD pick a fight with every ignorant person and prove them wrong. make them feel like the stupid monkey they are.
or.. i could let them hang themselves. i could let karma find them. i could go off on them at a later date after they've proven to me they're truly a piece of shit not worth respecting
that is the least they deserve.
ofc i would rather such people be separated. it would just make everything so much easier to pull these people out and put them somewhere they can be sexist and racist to their heart's content...
but alas.
A lot of animals don't breed when the conditions will be unfavourable to the baby. Some human pregnancies I see these days, I'm just like wow rodents beat you at thinking......
I don't know why people get so defensive and morally superior when you point out the nature of human relationships is transactional. I'm not denying or diminishing your "love", I'm just pointing something out.
Let me just say people who want to be smart, people who want to think critically, people who want to be knowledgeable will always find a way. someone using chat gpt to write an essay they didn't care about in the first place, isn't eroding their critical thinking because that's not a skill they were ever interested in improving.
Everytime a new form of media or tool gets presented, everyone has this idea that we've "fallen" from the previous intellectually "pure" era, I had teachers that would complain about our access to Google because we should all go to the library. The culprit always shifts tv made people dumb, google,video games, YouTube, tiktok, chat gpt etc. Every few years someone is like *this* is the moment intellect died and *this* is the tool/media to blame.
You guys give people too much credit. A lot of this discourse assumes there are tons of people who engaged critically with every task, and then chatgpt ate their brain 😔 The truth is most people are just trying to get the task out of the way and move on to watching tiktok or a livestream for 5 hours. BE FUCKING FOR REAL for just a millisecond.
My dad was the only one who on his street that went to the library when he was growing up, his mates would listen to the radio enjoying the shade under a mango tree. Did the shade and radio give them a lobotomy that stopped them from wanting to read books? I'm confused.
Here's something that's true always no matter what : The average human will choose McDonald's for the mind over putting in real effort. People choose ease, people choose comfort. Do couches destroy muscle, do cushions destroy physical fitness. Should I blame memory foam for the fact that you haven't jogged since highschool PE or are those just your personal choices....
Blaming tools and "ease" for the lack of people's interest in learning is tired as fuck like. The doors have never been more open JSTOR is right there, we are drowning in free pdfs, there are documentaries everywhere. You can get free courses and resources from the top universities in the world, there are full university level courses on youtube for free.
There's no crisis of intellect here, I think a lot of you are just shocked at how many people never gave a fuck. I saw a grown man with a beard reading the hunger games in public, it's been hell out here for a long time.
