One of the most important points in revolution

Is to abolish things in the correct order. What the correct order is I am not entirely sure, but I think abolishing contractual marriage before abolishing the inequities in the treatment of women in terms of labor, wages and property is to leave women with no recourse when men scamper off and leave them with nothing but children to care for

Most middle class white male leftists are smug little bastards who like using ultra strict (contextually wrong) definitions because it makes them feel clever. I want to whack them all over the knuckles with a ruler, just once, but hard

Mad Max: Fury Road is in my opinion aces

Old women, nubile sexy women, middle aged women, thin women and even some fat women who get to be naked and do a cool thing all being cool, kicking ass and mostly not getting fridged and Furiosa not dying! And like dudes learning to be decent and communist feminist utopia with seriously quality action sequences, badass cars, a freaking guicarist (I apologize for that pun) all the guns and explosions you could ask for and little old ladies murdering clones from motorcycles which you didn’t even know you wanted until now.

Okay so word origins are not always hiding in the modern meaning and usage of the word

Like the origin of the word “wife” is ugly and misogynistic, but that doesn’t mean the current word holds the same meaning.

Here’s why, take the word “comicbook” when you see that, what comes to mind? Superheroes, right? Not comedy? Even though right there in the word is the word “comic” as in “stand up comic” and originally comic books were mostly collections of comedy strips.

Current usage does not always imply the origin. Nice used to mean ignorant, but no longer does.

Seriously. lady comes from

hlæfdige which means loafmaid or “one who kneads bread” and lord comes from

hlaford

which means loaf guardian.

Dudes: When A Woman Is Creeped Out By Your Behavior

You can either accept it, apologize and move on, or you can leave.

Do not argue with her about whether she is creeped out. She is definitely creeped out. JFC. I don’t care if you think she was wrong to be creeped out, arguing will not help the situation.

Straight dudes, if you’re trying to genuinely be just friends with a woman

Maybe don’t compliment her physical appearance? It makes women uncomfortable because men are always lying to us about their intent. Also because, no matter how pure your intentions 9 times out of 10 what we hear is “I’m going to steal a pair of your underwear to wear on my head while I masturbate.”

She has many other good qualities, compliment those instead.

How do I articulate what makes me uncomfortable about “I know you’re married but I wish I could find a girl like you”?

When People Are Like “ZOMG The Commodification Of Sex!”

I really want to know what they think sex should be like?

Like no one is like “ZOMG the commodification of food” or “ZOMG the commodification of massages” so why sex?

Like isn’t it implicit in that message that sex is somehow “special”

Sex’s “specialness” is what men use to demand feminine “purity”

Sex’s “specialness” is what society uses to justify the rape of women who sleep around.

The idea that sex should be special is utterly rooted in patriarchy and is founded on the denigration of women.

People Say Sex Work Hardens Women Like It’s a Bad Thing

Yes, I am hardened and don’t get the feels as easy as I used to. I love it, I’m tough and I don’t take shit, The only way this is a bad thing is if you’re a dude who wants me to treat you like you’re entitled to something.

Also that one dude who was like “Breasts are a non-sexual part of the anatomy and if you don’t know that you have a lot to learn about feminism, you should send me a photo of your boobs” to someone on a dating site (the post has been floating around but I can’t find it)

Like, um… if a random dude asked for a photo of my feet I wouldn’t give it to him either because I know what you want it for, motherfucker. Just cause it’s not a sex organ doesn’t mean women are obligated to send you photos of it.

Requests for photos of individual parts of another person’s body are A: Rude if you’re not intimate and B: Transparently about you wanting jack off fodder
