Genuinely, what happened to “feminism is for everyone”?

That’s the feminism I grew up with: encouraging people to recognize that fighting sexism and restrictive gender roles helps folks of every gender. We’d push back on the idea that feminists hate men, pointing to inclusive feminist literature and how many men are feminists.

Now, there are so many people insisting that the solution to patriarchy is to openly hate and ostracize men no matter what. Why? What is the benefit? It’s certainly not effective in fighting oppressive structures to exclude half the population from your cause on the basis of immutable traits. It may feel cathartic to say horrible things about men and try to punish them for your frustrations with patriarchy. But the only actual effect I see is the increasing right-wing radicalization of young men, who are being told that the left hates them for the way they were born and presented with an abundance of proof that it’s true.

Why are we going back to treating men and women as different species? It doesn’t fix things to say “well women are the good gender and men are the bad one” this time. If you sincerely want to dismantle sexism, you’re going to have to unpack and let go of all sex and gender essentialism—even that which considers women inherently pure and men inherently immoral.

"I'm a feminist, I support women! Except trans women, and sex workers, and women of color, and muslin women, and queer women, and women that watch porn and have kinks, and lesbians that date trans women, and intersex women, and women that were SA'd by other women, and basically all women that disagree with me and aren't perisex cishet white middle class." — average radfem

OH NOUS A RADFEM FOUND ME, and they didn't even refute anything I said. Actually they just proved my point, "being a sex worker isnt empowering" working isn't empowering. Sex workers need support and yall just want their job to remain criminalized and stigmatized. "Stop using black women to defend men" I'm not by the way. Being AMAB isn't a cursed thing, men always experience SA, abuse and feminism isnt about hating men. "Most radfems I know talk about SA" good, they're still transphobic btw 👍🏽

"It is not bigotry to blindly support everything a woman does" local terf comes dangerously close to self-awareness

forgive me but erik’s hands get SO much more autistic after point of no return and in the final lair. like when christine physically unmasked him in front of everyone the stress of it had him psychologically unmask too

edit: if you see this post be sure to look at my reblog of it where i added photos and gifs!

mentally rewriting the 1991 poto musical adaptation so the ending is erik and the daroga running away together and erik becoming a shampoo model while the daroga pursues his newfound dream of being a dad joke-cracking insurance agent

This musical should be more talked about. For funny reasons only it's so cursed 😭 I didnt figure it out if I liked it or not

ten people i'd like to get to know better

Last book: the life of Addie-Larue

Last movie: Inside out 2

Last Tv show: Agatha All Along and Vox Machina. They're both so good!

Sweet/spicy/savory: I love all three but probably prefer savory. Sweet is too sweet, sometimes spicy is too spicy. Savory cant rly be too savory.

Relationship Status: Together with my queer partner for about 10 years now, and we've been married for 1 :)

Last thing I googled: does gabapentin interact with zonisamide LMAO for my meds.

Current obsession: sigh, still a red lizard man from Helluva Boss.

Looking forward to: Halloween! Ghostfuckers, EPIC the musical Vengeance saga, AND the new sims expansion pack comes out!

@lost-romantique @warblogs17282 @helluvafluxx tagging you three cuz I just wanna know u better ❤️ no pressure tho.

Relationship Status: Single AF

Last Thing I Googled: page fault in nonpaged area (because my PC literally crashed like an hour ago)

Current Obsession: Stolas, I'm down bad for the gay owl twink and I'm not sorry about that in the slightest.

Looking forward to: Ghostfuckers, Papa's Pizzeria Deluxe and my Cult Of The Lamb comic book hardcover I backed on kickstarter early this year, and it should be coming December 2024.

Join in if you want to :)

Oh hello! Thanks for tagging <3

Last Song: FMA Brotherhood soundtrack - Akira Senju - Lapis Philosophorum

Favorite Color: All things red and purple

Last Book: Currently on Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao

Last Movie: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (watched a couple of months back and still didn't get to the third movie)

Last TV Show: Helluva Boss? (not really a TV show but. I swear they have me in their grasp so tight I can't focus on anything else even though I joined the fandom back in spring)

Sweet/spicy/savory: sweet gal. D: no spicy. my stomach doesn't condone spicy. XD

Relationship Status: boring as fuck monogamy

Last Thing I Googled: lodge meaning (yeah 'word meaning' or 'word synonyms' flood all my search since English is not my first language and I often try diversifying my vocabulary by finding some batshit words and shoving them anywhere I can . . . sometimes confusing people because I use them incorrectly or the word is apparently archaic and was never used since like 16th century XD)

Current Obsession: Stolitz. I fucking can't. It's not even obsession at this point, it's a cult. And I am a devoted follower. I sacrifice my time, sleep, food, money, soul, and anti's blood for these two. What do you mean you gonna call a psych ward? I am totally normal about them.

Looking Forward To: oh fuck. ^^^ for these two to come back I guess. Also, I'd say Ghostfuckers, but my self-hatred issues were so called out by the FUCKING PENGUIN SHORT and Apology Tour I am not sure I really want to go even deeper than that. My therapist didn't attack me as much as this show. Ugh.

@tealvenetianmask @sonuvablitz @rainingfishandfrogs @awkwardandeccentric and everyone else who wants to! <3 And for the ones mentioned, no pressure at all

Thanks for the tag and sorry I'm so late...🙈

Last Thing I Googled: Kobliha... because someone commented on one of my reblogs.

Current Obsession: Hellaverse in general, more specifically Helluva Boss, most specific Stolitz. Also, Epic the Musical.

Looking Forward To: The beginning of my winter break in two weeks, I guess. But considering the current state of the world, I'm worried that not having the distraction of having to go to work every day might make me spiral. BUUUUT, I'm super looking forward playing BG3 together with @literatetrashpanda. So, that's at least something.

@literatetrashpanda @stargazing-enby @luleck @glimmah @reylokisses

Hi, I hope you are well. I am Lina from Gaza, a mother of two infants. Winter is coming for our children. They are young and need a lot. They need new clothes and a tent. All the facilities here are very bad. The children live in fear, terror, hunger and diseases. We need you to overcome this situation here. It is catastrophic. Please do not stop helping. I know that there are many who need help, but you are capable. When every humane person takes responsibility, everyone will get help. Thank you.

CHAPPELL ROAN - SNL (50.05)

Angel Dust Appreciation Post. 🩷🕸️

Okay but his little butt??? Help??? It's so cute????

Things I want in Universal’s Phantom reboot: • the Persian • the scene where Erik watches Raoul sleep and Raoul fucking shoots him

-the scene where Erik comes back from shopping after leaving Christine alone locked in a house underground for a solid day and tries to give her flowers and she just slams the door in his face

oh and, last but not least

ALL OF THIS YES.

•ERIK KICKING HIS LEGS WHEN HE’S TALKING ABOUT THINGS

•THE FRICKIN SCENE WHERE ERIK ALMOST DROWNS DAROGA. PLEASE

•RAOUL TRYING TO SHOOT THE CAT

This was posted in 2017 and still no Universal Phantom

Bet the upcoming Disney/Kenny Ortega version won't have any of my expectations, but I just wish for 3 things: Daroga, a morally grey humanized Erik with responsible representation of mental illness/unperfect abuse survivor, and to be as queer as possible.

Thank you Letter to Vivienne

Dear Vivziepop,

It has been a rough week for you and everyone else in the community. From leaks to the election, things have just not been going yours and many of us fans’ way. I wanted to take a moment to reach out to you to let you know WE LOVE YOU! You and your wonderful stories and universes have gotten me through so many emotional hardships over years by just simply being you and sharing the stories you’ve created with so much care. I’ve been around since the early days of zoophobia and it’s so incredibly inspiring to see how far you’ve come. So I hope to leave this with you, and maybe brighten your day, even if it’s just a little bit.

With love and care,

"we need less sanitized queer stories" yall keep saying fucking she-ra romanticizes abuse. you couldnt possibly handle less sanitized queer stories

"we need less sanitized queer stories" youre the one saying the locked tomb series is bad because you dont like the prose. based off of a quote from goodreads of all places. that was dialogue, not even the actual prose.

people keep reblogging only the first half of the post when the addition was the original post. ok

girl help. 4k notes

"she-ra fumbled its message" no! crucially, it didnt! it had the same message as the original she-ra show, which is "this lady is a superhero and is going to do superhero things like save the planet" and she did do that!

"oh but catra never apologized for what she did and they just let her join the good guys" thats a perfectly normal thing in childrens media, and the only reason yallre calling it out is because its queer and you want the perfect unproblematic queer media to exist. except that even if it did you would all find ways to nitpick it, which is the whole point of this post!

Also, notably, she did apologize. They just think it wasn't good enough.

They absolutely could not handle more nuanced media.

can we please pretty pleasr reblog this version,

OP and Shadowkat are 100% right. Vivziepop and Spindlehorse gave us Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, TWO "less sanitised queer show"s, and look how people are handling THOSE!
