“Being aro is not inherently a tragedy, and we should stop portraying it as such” and “amatonormativity can make being aro an incredibly isolating experience, and we should talk about that more” are statements that can and should coexist.

about how they need start taking care of themselves before taking care of others
the thing about being someone who’s never catcalled is that you start to wonder why like is it because im ugly???
and then you realize that youre judging your worth by whether or not you are objectifiable to a man and thats so fucked up like honestly its so fucked up
but the worst part about the patriarchy is that it still sits at the back of your mind regardless like “nobody thinks youre pretty because they dont see you as a sex object” like somehow thats a desirable thing and it fucks me up
You’re either public property or completely invisible.
Anyway, misandry and misogyny are both equally terrible and neither should be accepted nor should there be communities that support them.
Oh right,
Because woman have a history of raping men in large numbers
In torturing them
In keeping them captive for their own pleasure and/or profit
Of killing them, and fucking their corpses
Of treating them like property, and suing each other for “damages” when one kills or rapes or disfigures the other’s man
Of setting them on fire when their sperm doesnt provide a daughter
Of snipping their largest pleasure organ for aesthetics
Oh yeah, women definitely have hated men as much as men have hated women for all of history. So when a woman gets angry and wants nothing to do with men and calls it misandry, that’s just as bad as her committing every crime on this list (and so many more).
Because obviously, misogyny and misandry are the same kind of hatred, and have been present in the same prevalence for all of time. Men and women are already equal, because we’ve been fighting and killing each other for eons, right? Neither has power over the other, because our hatred for each other are the same in scope and potency and effect. Because misogyny and misandry are two sides of the same coin.
Aren’t they?
1) Men don’t hate women. Such blanket statements are useless and factually incorrect. The minority does not represent the majority.
2) a lot of women do kill men. They do rape men. They do abuse them, and keep them hostage for their own pleasure. They do treat them like property.
Women just have the benefit of society saying they’re incapable of such acts, as you clearly demonstrated here.
Misogyny is prejudice against women. Misandry is prejudice against men. Hating and sterotyping an entire sex does not become ok because of shit that happened in the past. It was never all men. It was never even MOST men.
Just like the women who kill their husbands and boyfriends for refusing them sex do not mean misogyny is fine. The women who rape and abuse men do not mean misogyny is fine.
3)Prejudice does not care about power. Your prejudice is still prejudice even if you’re not legally equal. Hating an entire race/sex/gender/religion/etc. does not become ok because you’re not equal. You hate the system that makes you inequal, not the people who have literally no influence over it.
Y’all are jokes. Neither misogyny nor misandry is ok, and both are just as bad. Y’all stereotyping an entire sex and acting like women haven’t done the exact same shit doesn’t change that.
“Or snipping their largest pleasure organ for aesthetics”
Apparently, male circumcision doesn’t exist. Huh.
But yeah, everything Peebee said. Without fail, almost every woman who deflects about women’s possible shitty behavior with “but men are WORSE” has been a piece of garbage herself. It’s almost as if you’re covering your own asses. Funny how that works.
i really love that they gave us so much more info about zavala but not in a way where it felt like he was just having random backstory made up and shoved in despite not mentioning it ever before. it makes sense for zavala’s character for him not to want to talk about safiyah and hakim, especially if he feels responsible for hakim’s death and safiyah leaving. i’m sure this is relatively “new” backstory but it feels consistent with his character and well executed
Tbh I hate Hawks being compared to Icarus because it implies Hawks has some sort of ignorance about his reality. That he was a child that flew too high too fast and lost it all. I DO like it when the narrative of Icarus is interpreted as someone who knew exactly what he was doing and chose to die free. If Hawks stayed where he was, he would live his life in a cage. If he ran, he would only find that cage waiting when he came back down and would spend his life running from it. But Hawks saw a way to live free and to die free. All he had to do was fly a little too close to the sun.
Hawks knew this relationship with Dabi would crash and burn, going up in flame. He knew that. That’s why he loved every second of it, that’s what allowed him to love it without apprehension, without fear or doubt looming over his head. The sun wasn’t a threat he misjudged, it was his promise of freedom.
“Educate yourself. When a question about a certain topic pops up, google it. Watch movies and documentaries. When something sparks your interest, read about it. Read read read. Study, learn, stimulate your brain. Don’t just rely on the school system, educate that beautiful mind of yours.”
A big fuck you to the hypocrites on tumblr who reblog the “queer people who are closeted are vaild” post every pridemonth like clockwork and in the same breath call harry styles a queerbaiter because you can’t put him in all those boxes that you created for your own benefit
Please return us to a world where Notp and squick are used for a ship you don’t like instead of just making up a load of bullshit about how immoral it is or w/e lol
