“Trans men can be misogynistic because they’re MEN”
No, everyone can be misogynistic because misogyny is not stored in the gender.
Some of the nastiest misogyny I got to hear growing up came from the women around me.
Had a whole response ready to go about this but I’d like to ask for some clarification before I do. Are you arguing for or against the people who make these claims? Do you agree with the claim that trans men as a class benefit from misogyny or are you simply explaining one of the ways others interact with that idea?
men as a social class benefit from misogyny as a social force regardless of other axes of oppression they face
This is not a coherent explanation whatsoever because you’re relying on the idea that trans men as a social class benefit from misogyny as if that is some given. This is not a given, it is not reality. There is no place in this world as it currently functions where trans men, as a social class, benefit from misogyny.
I am relying on the idea that men, all men, as a social class, benefit from misogyny, because society is structured by patriarchy, and I am also relying on the idea that trans men are men. men benefit from misogyny. men benefit from patriarchy. this is simple, baseline feminism 101 stuff, and if you can’t wrap your head around it then you have no business speaking on misogyny
Ah yes, it’s real because reasons! Zero acknowledgment of how the trans man existence as a man is not one society grants to us as a class. Just ignore that fact. Trans men r men and the reality of our lived experience as men, oppressed as men particularly and specifically, cannot be reality.
Real glad I did ask for clarification because you are so clearly not even remotely worth my time.
Extra cause I couldn’t stop thinking about Leshy and Narinder getting banned from stores. They already have a lifetime ban from Walmart.
In my heart Leshy is like 20, can’t drive, dresses like a 8 year old boy, shit posts 24/7, never double checks his writing and is allergic to using punctuation and capitalization.
I vote we stop calling it inflation at all. Seize the language. It’s price gouging, not inflation. Inflation is a nebulous concept that invokes feeling of being too complex for the layman, a struggle as old as economy itself against a beast no one has ever truly slain.
Price gouging is the truth of it. And it makes it very clear who is to blame, and what must be done to end it.
Can confirm this works wonders. Australia is in a cost of living crisis rn and the two major supermarkets are a big part of it, as they pretty much have a duopoly on not just the grocery shopping market, but a bunch of others considered to be essential (things like fuel). They are trying to blame their price rises on inflation, but the media recently started reporting it as price gouging (which it is), and it got the average person pretty worked up, better than blaming inflation did.
Reeducating myself on how to say “You are willfully misinterpreting me so this conversation is over.”
Recently watched a youtube video about tips for trying to buy sustainable and high quality textiles and the narrator started with several minutes of “I am not shaming anyone for having to buy fast fashion, no ethical consumption under capitalism etc., these are just some tips for if you have the means and desire to source these sorts of fabrics, I know being able to buy sustainable things is a privilege –” and the fact that that disclaimer is necessary, that we live in a culture so ready to read anything in bad faith that providing tips for something is assumed to be shaming people for doing anything else unless you do the “you’re valid too! <3” speech at the start, made me want to eat my own face.

Can we please make “I’m depressed” a valid reason to out-of-the-blue fall off the face of the earth?
I’m not busy.
I’m not tired.
My plate isn’t full.
I’m not swamped with work.
I don’t have a cold or flu.
I’m not laying awake at night. (But I am sleepy throughout the day.)
Nothing tragic or traumatic has happened.
I nor anyone I know or work with is going through anything.
You didn’t do or say anything wrong.
But I’m not sad, either. I’m not homesick or in mourning. I’m not angry at anyone or anything.
Nothing is wrong…
I just woke up and suddenly being alive sucked, eating became a dumb idea and nothing mattered. I canceled training for the next two weeks, making up a lie, saying I’d be out of town on business.
And I have no other explanation for that, but I don’t [can’t] say anything because the word “depression” might as well be “itchy” to some people.
“Here, have a mango. You like mangos, right? This should cheer you up!” But I’m not sad.
“Just think happy things!” But I’m not sad.
“Did something happen? You know you can always talk to me!” About what? I’m not sad.
It’ll go away just as it came: on its own.
How long it’ll stay in my system this time is anyone’s guess.
Sweety, that is in fact what the kids call Goin through it.
think about how many people have died because they took out the warning
This is hilarious because the biggest edit Stoker’s editor made him do was to cut out a preface that said “this was all real and the Harkers are wonderful people and my friends :)” The editor felt he risked inducing mass panic.

the default way for things to taste is good. we know this because “tasty” means something tastes good. conversely, from the words “smelly” and “noisy” we can conclude that the default way for things to smell and sound is bad. interestingly there are no corresponding adjectives for the senses of sight and touch. the inescapable conclusion is that the most ordinary object possible is invisible and intangible, produces a hideous cacophony, smells terrible, but tastes delicious. and yet this description matches no object or phenomenon known to science or human experience. so what the fuck
this is what ancient greek philosophy is like
False! “Sightly” is a positive word, so the default way for things to work is good as well.
The true most ordinary object is beautiful, horrible sounding, very smelly, intangible, and delicious.
I still don’t think it matches anything in existence but to truly understand a thing one must know its true nature.
“touchy” is also a word! however it’s mostly used for things that aren’t objects, like subjects of conversation. it either means “oversensitive and irritable” or “requires careful handling/wording, delicate”
i think the second one works well for our hypothetical object. so we can use that.
therefore, the Default Object is:
beautiful
makes a horrendous sound
smells absolutely awful
is very fragile
tastes delicious
and i still cannot think of anything that matches this
Simon: So I got detention today. Kamina: How? Simon: The teacher pointed a ruler at me and said, “There’s an idiot at the end of this ruler.” Simon: Then I asked which end. Kamina, tearing up: I’m so proud of you.
I DIDNT CHECK TH E SONG FULLY BEFORE POSTING THIS I FUCKED UP
congratulations!!! through doubt, you have unlocked backstory!!!
imagine, if you will, innocent, overly-trusting me listening to the mario galaxy ost and getting to the honeyhive galaxy theme, and thinking “wow! this song would go great with a pokemon walking gif!”
a brilliant idea! i immediately search up the song, and oh, how naive i was.
the third result is very official-looking!! a perfect candidate for a quick youtube rip–it’s just a meme, it won’t hurt anybody.
the first few second autoplay, and it seems legit! i quickly copy the url and download the file, then make the post
at this point, i haven’t seen the gif along with the song i’d intended to put with it, so i have a listen!!
and let me tell you, the surprise i got,
this is now rowlet’s theme
there’s something really special about finding an old post you remember and seeing it has several new additions. it’s like aw, the post grew up :)
