No, I Don't Have A "praise Kink." No, I Don't Like "gentle Doms." I Want You To Treat Me Like A Thinking,

I refuse to watch the documentary on the woman who slept with 100 men in a day because I cannot stand to watch a woman do that to herself willingly. I cannot stand to see her process what she has just done to herself.

She is a victim. A victim of a world that has told her this is empowering. A victim because how can she give consent if she is disassociating?

Anyone saying that she is entirely at fault is delusional and libfems absolutely have a hand in this because it is the whole "OF/porn is empowering!" rhetoric that got us here in the first place. YOU told her that this line of work was empowering. And don't get me started on the men because we will be here all day.

I dread to think what psychological damage this will do to her.

The clips I see fill me with some deep, gut wrenching feeling that I cannot describe and I know for my own health, I cannot watch this.

maybe maybe don't hurt the mortals? let them experience life long love? that would be funny

Achilles is a demigod who went on a rampage, wounded a minor river god into retreating & destroyed one of Troy's most prominent soldiers after suffering the grief of being away from Patroclus.

Diomedes is a human who managed to wound Ares & Aphrodite and he didn't do it for any personal reasons.

And now we have Odysseus, a human who managed to torture Poseidon into begging after suffering the grief of losing his crew, friends, and family & being away from his son and wife.

You'd think the gods would notice a pattern by now.

live footage of me trying so hard to be not like my father but if you gaze into the abyss long enough, it stares back

cause blood is thick but water is forever and I'm stiffer than a board lighter than a feather and that girl will be a problem only if you let her and I left her back home but I cannot forget her

bigotry would be "I don't like you so you are inferior to me" where as criticism is "I don't like your rules on life and I'm going to say it"

i hate how frowned upon it is to criticize religion when it harms women. it’s genuinely so fucking annoying. “you’re being a bigot” how? how is it bigoted to say it makes no sense that a muslim man can marry outside the religion but women can’t? how is it bigoted to say that women are not extensions of men and it’s ridiculous to portray them as such? how is it bigoted to literally just be honest about how ridiculous these religions are? my goodness, get your head out your ass

nobody has more emotional power over you than your mom on the driver's seat

someone: don’t u think it’s disturbing how in the past few years the level of femininity women are expected to perform and the industries they’re expected to contribute to in order to be taken seriously, especially on platforms like social media, has skyrocketed to the point that perfect makeup, contouring, acrylic nails, and eyelash extensions have become almost a social expectation and when women express no interest in adhering to those standards they’re met with vitriol and scorn straight woman who thinks Legally Blonde is the apex of feminist media: okay but it’s my choice? if i want to be feminine i should have the right to choose to do that because feminism is about choice

Women have another option. They can aspire to be wise, not merely nice; to be competent, not merely helpful; to be strong, not merely graceful; to be ambitious for themselves, not merely for themselves in relation to men and children. They can let themselves age naturally and without embarrassment, actively protesting and disobeying the conventions that stem from this society’s double standard about aging. Instead of being girls, girls as long as possible, who then age humiliatingly into middle-aged women, they can become women much earlier – and remain active adults, enjoying the long, erotic career of which women are capable, far longer. Women should allow their faces to show the lives they have lived. Women should tell the truth.

— Susan Sontag, from “The Double Standard of Aging”

mom made more than my father for my whole life.she worked an 8-4 in the weekdays while he took at least three 24 hour shifts in a week.mom is the sole reason I was a swimmer. she was the one who advocated for my language training so I could speak like a native at 13 years old. I love women who are like op''s and mine's. and if we are lucky one day we will be like this to our daughters too

Growing up with a gender non conforming mother literally saved me. She never wore makeup, she rarely shaved, she had short hair, she always put comfort first when choosing clothes, she never cared for skincare or anti-aging products in fact she’s proud of her wrinkles, she was a ‘these are signs of a fulfilling life’ mother not a retinol at 15 mother, she was a ‘eat whatever you want’ mother not a ‘are you gonna eat all that?’ mother, she was openly against plastic surgery, she stood up for her beliefs, she never let men talk down to her or belittle her, she was always down for a debate etc.

It didn't dawn on me until I got older that this wasn't 'normal'. That not everyone’s mother was like that. I rarely felt pressure to conform to patriarchal gender stereotypes because I didn’t grow up with one as a role model. In fact the only times I started to feel as though I should conform to ‘femininity’ was when I started integrating more into wider society and less in the comfort of my home. (Social media, friendships etc)

When I was a kid, I took it for granted, but now I see how blessed I was to be raised by a mother like that, and I see how much my friends and women online are struggling to accept themselves in totality, in their natural and unapologetic form. Since I was born, I thought it was totally normal for women to be like that … because it should be.

yesterday a new channel was reporting data about domestic violence scene against women in TV in our country. Average of 9 scene per episode on cable and a average of 7 in Internet series. NINE SCENES. WITH THE SCENE BEING AT LEAST 3 MINUTES. IN A 2 AND A HALF LONG EPISODE. And the winner(!) for most violence act committed against women in one episode went to Kızıl Goncalar(20 scenes), a show about an Islamic cult which was also the show with most views in TV this year... we need radical feminist revolution fast and now.(also the numbers reveal themselves to be more damning when you realize a Middle Eastern critic might not have picked on or categorize some psychological violence scenes) (note:some Internet series are shorter in a western format so 7 scenes in 45 minutes/1 hour is extremely worse than cable's with added advertising of them being "secular" and "modern" )

does anybody else recite some *fav* fic names randomly in the day? like I'll be out for lunch break and mutter to myself "doomed, one day I'll watch as you are leaving" while opening my sandwich.the usuals are like this: it used to be yours; your shield and sword, your claws and venom darling; then you think again; this isn't gonna fucking work you inbreed ;I know all sorts of thing I don't believe in... etc etc
