So no more half-measures, no more politeness, and no more fucking meeting in the middle. Every tradition weighing upon the world today like a rusted yoke must be named and uprooted and purged, and every doddering fence-sitter pushed over the edge with the rest of the sun-baked garbage.

it is more desirable to them that rod liddle beat his pregnant partner than if he had not. they like him more for it, because it reinforces their hierarchies more. men over women, adults over children, etc. it is comforting for them to see their hierarchy play out true

Basically the height of caricature at this point: Israel is demanding that as part of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas, it be allowed to continue attacking Gaza.

yes they think you should have no right to say no, no right to control your own body, AND that you should be mocked and degraded and treated like a subhuman for *being* the kind of natural inferior who doesn't have control over their own body

Hindu supremacist trolls are the scum of the Earth, and they've had free reign to unleash their disgusting, vile fantasies of violent oppression on strangers on the internet (and in real life) for 12 years now, feasting on hate.

“There is no limit to the death threats and rape threats that I’ve been receiving,” content creator Shraddha Singh told Scroll after a video she posted from the Jantar Mantar protests made her the target of relentless harassment. scroll.in/article/1094... Ayush Tiwari writes

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

Morning, y'all. Thanks to our amazing readers we are just about $1,400 away from hitting out big goal in our first anniversary fundraiser. If you want more independent, unrepentantly radical trans journalism from our worker-run new org, here's how. Every share and (tax deductible donation helps.

Trans News Network's First Anniversary Fundraiser

Since our founding nearly a year ago, Trans News Network has exposed how The New York Times ' bigotry is directed from the very top , revealed Epstein's extensive network of anti-trans cronies...

In other words it’s less about the precise moral calculus of playing Wordle or reading HP and more about the general problem that trans people are tired of asking for solidarity and support and getting so little of it, even while we’re under systematic attack.

am i allowed to talk about how weird it is that the main way liberals philantropize trans people is by donating money to liberal nonprofits for call centers that beg us not to kill ourselves, instead of directly funding our material needs which, when deprived, lead to suicidality? is that allowed?

mady castigan✨ 🏳️‍⚧️@mady.cat · 6d ago

Sorry i meant to say we need more celebrities to donate $100 million to suicide hotlines so we can call someone who will beg us not to kill ourselves when the state takes away our medication and housing, and then send the cops to our home if we say the wrong series of words. My bad.

Men like the patriarchy cause it actively gives them stuff, and letting them frame the liberation of those they dominated as a personal injury to their masculinity is just patriarchy again!

Im back in my hobby horse that validating men's fears that arise from their lack of easy access to domestic and sexual labour will never lead to the woke left you want

"ok emily wilson's film criticism isn't wrong but she's being pedantic and annoying" damn okay i already supported her perspective but now i'm supporting her character even more

The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.

This is the problem with reactionary appeals to compassion—it all depends on the *direction* the care is moving in. This is what I call a care hierarchy, by which those at the bottom of the hierarchy are compelled to give care for those at the tope; care is extracted like a resource.

Exclusive from me — Daniel Moraff, one of the political operatives behind Graham Platner's rise and fall, has been accused of sexual assault. Full story here:

Exclusive: Political operative behind Graham Platner's rise accused of sexual assault

A spokesperson for Daniel Moraff said: “Any suggestion that he committed a criminal offence is false and without foundation."

Ladies, why haven't you loved men enough? Look what you've done. We still have patriarchy because you couldn't love men.

Killing an illegally-present, occupying soldier is verbatim the most legal thing a person is allowed to do under every single international law.

The last part is important. Patriarchs want men to be rapists. The ideal man under heterosexualist male supremacy is envisioned proudly as a rapist, and the ideal woman is a partially sentient pet, only aware enough to be capable of suffering. Because women's suffering affirms male supremacy.

"decisions about trans care for minors should be made by their parents" is an anti-trans policy position, inhumane to the point of absurdity, which only sounds pro-trans to people who aren't paying attention. what those words mean is "the children of bigots should be left to suffer with no recourse"

Valerie Halla@valeriehalla.dicot.moe · 2w ago

"decisions about whether or when minors access transgender medical care should be made by parents, not politicians" actually they should be made by the minors in question, who are human beings. if you don't need parental consent to experience one kind of puberty why should you need it for the other

i was a trans minor once. nobody had to sign any paperwork at all before my own body started injecting me with testosterone. a coin flip did that! literally any reason any person of any age could ever have for wanting to transition is a better reason than "heads says you get this puberty sorry"

if being gay wasn't more shameful than being a serial rapist it wouldn't make sense to mock a serial rapist by calling them a fag. you would just call them a serial rapist, and everyone would get that they should be ashamed. you have to believe being gay is worse to use it as an insult against them.

They are, themselves, so utterly soaked in misogyny and patriarchy that they've internalized the notion that women are for bearing children and little else. So because a trans woman cannot be *impregnated*, they think that somehow misogyny will miss us.

Talia "Pre-Order CALL ME KIMBERLY" Bhatt ⚢@taliabhatt.itch.io · 2w ago

Always sobering when I'm reminded that people genuinely believe trans women are less impacted by misogyny

Maybe I can help. Vaccines are a product of natural sciences that study unchanging physical properties and while imperfect, are the best chance we have at understanding the world around us. Economics, however, is simply astrology for pedophiles

oliver@eikopf.com · 2w ago

very tired of pretending that dismissing modern economics is somehow more reasonable than dismissing vaccines. if you’re not an expert, you don’t get to pick and choose parts of a field to believe! you have no way to tell between legitimate and illegitimate results in that field!

holy moly @hausofdecline.bsky.social in @inthesetimes.com ???

It's not "too woke" to say that straight men who rape women should be reviled for being rapists, not tarred as secretly queer. To imply they're gay, or that they wear dresses, to distance them from manhood, is to insist that their violence is "deviant" rather than utterly banal and normative.

Cishet women are super invested in pretending that white heteropatriarchy is not an inherently hateful institution and all the ills in the world are queer on queer violence

And how those endless thinkpieces are **nearly** expressing the thought, “men simply can’t make friends unless they’re allowed to mistreat women in these ritualized ways that feminism has sought to eliminate, shouldn’t we just let them?”

The thing about the homoerotic overtones in male homosociality is that it is, first and foremost, a gender-policing mechanism. Marilyn Frye's quotation on heterosexual men being first and foremost "man-loving" is entirely true, but that doesn't mean that all men are in a happy brotherhood.
