The whole "if we don't fuck males they're gonna Handmaid's Tale us" argument directly contradicts "men didn't give us our rights, we fought for them". You either have the power and strength to resist males and fight for your liberation or you don't. Stop depending on the government or the arbitrary mercy of males to give you the kiddie rails you apparently need to be a free woman in society.
"Men in dresses are seen as bad, but women in pants aren't!"
is not the statement that "men can't be feminine but women can be masculine in society" that you think it is.
Let me introduce: women with facial hair. Full beards. Mustaches. Bald women. Bodybuilder women. Women with visible body hair. These aren't "more acceptable" than men in dresses.
Pants don't have a gendered association anymore, while dresses do. There is something to be said for that, but it certainly ISN'T "masculine women are acceptable now."
“tomboys are such pick me’s, why can’t they get over their internalized misogyny and just wear makeup and start shaving” probably hits so hard if you’re stupid
I believe the myth that anger turns you into the people/person that abused you was created to keep women placated and in a position where we are never fully able to take ownership of their own rage because, according to that myth, that makes you just as bad as your abusers. Please be a hater and angry till the day you die. WHAT THEY DID WAS NEVER OKAY AND IT NEVER WILL BE.
I hate the way religious people use religion to validate their bigotry. ‘I’m pro life because it’s against my religion’, ‘I’m homophobic because it’s against my religion’, you know what else is against your religion? Pre marital sex, porn, rape, alcohol, drugs etc but that’s never stopped you has it?
