every single negative stereotype about women was dreamt up by men who were projecting. fight me about it.
“women can’t drive”
It is so well known that women are better and safer drivers than men that OUR CAR INSURANCE RATES ARE LOWER. Women get into fewer accidents, get fewer DUIs, and receive fewer speeding tickets than men.
“women never shut up”
Several scientific studies have shown that not only do men talk more than women, they also think that women have been talking for much longer than they actually have. Men interrupt and talk over women, dominate conversations, and still think women talk too much.
“women are shallow”
Lol next
“my wife is my ball and chain lmao”
Multiple studies have shown that marriage between men and women: Increases male lifespan, decreases female lifespan Decreases male depression rates, increases female depression rates Decreases male stress levels, increases female stress levels Increases male health and happiness, decreases female health and happiness Increases a man’s chance of getting a raise or promotion, decreases a woman’s chances of getting a raise or promotion
“women are too emotional”
Men love to say this about women after hurting them, in order to shift the blame and dismiss their feelings in one go. In reality, women are taught to hold our tongues and control ourselves quite literally from birth. We’re taught to put men’s needs and wants ahead of our own emotions regardless of the personal cost. Men are taught to do more or less whatever the fuck they want to women. Men take their emotions out on women while women are expected to shove theirs down.
I could go on and on but I don’t really think I need to.
“women are shallow” (just read the book, Dataclysm. by okcupid founder (?) that includes data about sex, gender, race, in finding online romantic partners)
I work for one of largest companies in the United States if not the world. And I really don’t like the direction we are going in. we need to change the company motto to: SOMEBODY DIDN’T THINK THIS COMPLETELY THROUGH!
When the revolution comes I am appointing myself the head of bean counter and efficiency expert elimination. There are some people the world would just be better off without. Just saying.
There’s no reason for anyone to be an ‘Eddissy anti’, if someone doesn’t like the ship it’s only bc they didn’t sense any chemistry which is completely normal
Hey, you know who benefits from this whole, anti-intellectual, anti critical thinking, positive opinions only mentality I see popping up everywhere?
Not the fans.
The corporations.
Corporations LOVE it when you treat other fans like they’re the problem for not loving their product. Why? Because when you label everyone who voices criticism as a mean, bitter hater, then the corporations absolve themselves of any accountability and can continue to put out whatever shitty, mass produced, poorly written swill they throw at you that you’ll just mindlessly consume and keep giving them money. Of course they love when you silence other people for saying their media had problematic messaging, or their merchandise ripped off a local artist, or promoted hurtful stereotypes about marginalized groups. Because heaven forbid anyone actually listen to those criticisms and demand better. Or start thinking for themselves and seeking out alternative sources for their stories. Or stop giving them money.
Keep the masses happily and quietly consuming away without questioning anything they’re told, that’s what corporations want, and it’s creepy to see it happening. There’s just something very Brave New World about it all.
I completely forgot this is the first Friends Friday of the new year! One thing about the holidays, being with so much family and not having that much time for taking personal photos resulted in loading up our FF drafts. Hold onto your crops and anal hooks. ~S
