Y'all can’t handle a woman when she doesn’t need male approval to feel valid. You can’t stand for your gaze and erection to be taken as an offense. You cannot tolerate a woman not bending to your desire to know what her vaginal lining feels like. It makes you far too uncomfortable when she says, “I can do it myself”. You feel emasculated, right? Funny thing is, there seems to be no words for the constant degradation, humiliation, and rejection women deal with. It’s funny how hurting someone’s inflated ego can be seen as an insult to their manhood. WOW, what a world we live in, where women are dragged through the mud for saying yes, and dragged through the mud for saying no. Emasculation is a concept created to keep women from telling you to fuck off. Frankly, women, especially black women have their femininity questioned daily, or integrity and sense of respect is always being demeaned if it doesn’t please the black male machismo. Bell Hooks addresses this numerous times, and it breaks my heart that I have to see black women ridiculed daily. Why can’t I be proud that I have my own car, I love Beyonce, I have degrees, I have my own… and coming from a place of severe child abuse and sexual abuse, homelessness, and mental hospitalization for numerous suicide attempts, I will pound my fucking chest in the name of my accomplishments, because I worked fucking hard to get here. If I seem cold and distant, I don’t want you. The notion that I and women like me, are “Busting balls”, is completely insulting. We climbed over every obstacle to get here, to have our achievements, why not want for a partner who understands and appreciates it, a partner that know that they need to be a plus to your life, because you’ve walked thousands of miles to get here and you won’t let some low standard having, lame, ignorant fuck who thinks “suits are for lames” come fuck it up…. Rant done.
"REAL MEN DON’T RAPE!!!!!!!!11111!!111111!"
props my chin on my hands. stares u down. except they DO and that’s the fucking PROBLEM and trying to attack rape culture by using macho heteronormativity to shame dudes into not raping for fear of damaging their man cred (??????) rather than like, destroying attitudes that present women as sexual objects is like
not …. a solid strategy
dafuq, fairy tail?
I'd started watching Fairy Tail a couple of days ago and just finished Episode 24: To Keep From Seeing Those Tears.
All I have to say is...
Why the fuck did you write Lisanna like that, Mashima? No one really acts like that, you fucking douchenozzle. Quit encouraging and perpetuating this bullshit.
If there's a wild lion raging about, are you gonna try to hug it back to its senses? No, because it will fucking maul you into meaty slices.
Nevermind the ridiculous, porn star body proportions for almost all of the women. The misogynistic fuckery in this anime that perpetuates the worst and most annoying kinds of stereotypical "LET'S ALL BE FRIENDS" bullshit for the ladies (even Erza; seriously, what the fuck does she ask of Natsu and Gray when we first meet her? SHE ASKS FOR THEM TO GET ALONG! No man gives a flying fuck whether or not they get along!) and "BECAUSE I'M A MAN" machismo is beyond ridiculous sometimes.
I like the anime for the most part but I cringe for the girls. Seriously, though. What the fuck is with all the goddamn moaning sounds. This is why I often can't take "shoujo" nor "shounen" anime/manga seriously—it keeps perpetuating stupid-ass gender roles/stereotypes and it doesn't take women seriously.
I can't take "that's how it is" for an answer; if that were always the answer, a lot of civil rights activism wouldn't have succeeded. For the most part, the anime is fairly entertaining. It has the same feel as Naruto in that it's action-packed and tries to appeal to the audience's emotions through their "the moral of the story is _____" arcs so I'd recommend it for that. However, I'm calling you out on your bullshit, Mashima and worshippers.
