no, what will happen is I will kick him in the bits because I’ve yet to meet one ‘male feminist’ who wasn’t a manipulative misogynist wanker. this quote rly upsets me, because it’s bullshit; leaving aside whether men can call themselves feminists (they could if...

Yeah, that’s a common thought: hitting kids makes them respect you. But I disagree. Ask me how much respect I have today for the man who raised me with blows. (I don’t talk to him anymore, nor care much about that, so maybe that gives you an idea.)
Hitting kids might make them shut up; it might make them toe the line. But respect? No.
Or maybe it...
A New Policy Against Self-Harm Blogs
staff:
One of the great things about Tumblr is that people use it for just about every conceivable kind of expression. People being people, though, that means that Tumblr sometimes gets used for things that are just wrong. We are deeply committed to supporting and defending our users’ freedom of speech, but we do draw some limits. As a company, we’ve decided that some specific kinds of content...

Gender Imperialism

(via The Biyuti Collective)
According the San Francisco Trans March’s about page, this was part of the original callout that started the march:
to encourage more trans and gender-variant people to come out; to build connections among ftm, mtf, bayot, crossdressers, sadhin, hijra, transvestites, bantut, drag queens, drag kings, mahu, transsexuals,...

frustrated. just received the following line in an e-mail from an old queer identified woman friend who just started dating a trans man, who has always been with cis men - “i’ve never been straight or lesbian, which i guess are the groups who would be most angsty about their partners having certain genitals.”
really frustrated and looking for a firm but not overly aggressive way...

Oh man… yeah, you are all correct, I did not peruse the original blogger’s entire blog before approving this post. I read this, thought it was interesting, scanned her blog generally and hit publish. Ugh. I apologize, and I am closing this thread down.

Apologies. I hoped to cite some well regarded works by lesbian authors so as to provide some insight… But I don’t think my examples really show what I thought they showed anyway. On further consideration those characters’ relationships are more nuanced. Also I was a bit drunk when I wrote that, though I still am.

One of the most informative and useful posts I’ve read about Hugo Schwyzer
Are Women Human? explores the implications and problems of defenses used to guard Hugo Schwyzer’s position in feminist circles. She also places emphasis on his present actions, demonstrating that Schwyzer is an ongoing threat. An excerpt:

my mom works for family friends. they are doctors that make 7.5 million a year and vote republican because it benefits them financially but you know, doesnt benefit them in any other meaningful way (since they are muslim, ethnic minorities, and socially liberal). one of them is a general physician and the other is a heart specialist of some sort.

bethefoodoflove:
how exactly are doctors members of the capitalist class? as a group, their relationship to the means of production is distant at best, and that’s being rather generous.
also, don’t you think it might be just a little bit problematic for an able-bodied person whose life is not in imminent danger of ending due to chronic illness to tell medical personnel to “suck a...

mental illness, treatment, and tumblr
melonary:
This is a post that was originally on unpopularsjopinions. I’m posting it under tags on this tumblr so people can respond to me if they want to.
Also, I apologise for the abrupt start. It began as a response to a brief comment about mental illness and treatment, and morphed into a larger discussion about the way different mental illnesses are perceived and talked about.

The Daily What can always kiss my ass.
Like I already said on Twitter, instead of condemning Rihanna for forgiving Chris Brown, we need to light a fire under our society that stresses that she does, and don’t give me that “But, Jay Z has never!” because last time I checked, she was getting shit from her fans, probably getting shit from her family, probably various...

I did not invent the term “social justice warrior.”

there is actually reasoning behind the expiration dates (it’s something like a 1% loss in potency for the active ingredient), but for anything without a small theraputic window (antibiotics, etc.) the loss of potency after the expiration date is minimal enough that you’re probably safe doing it

or at least the gooberiest example of how pathetic feministe’s version of feminist cultural critique is to appear in recent months.
If nothing else, someone presents us with a context-less list of words and tells us the moral of this story is how fun and sex positive ancient Rome.
I mean, I think the easiest, jumps-right-out-at-you thing to take away from that list is that...
