Calling your own child “dumbass” and publicly shaming him for getting hurt isn’t just a poor choice, it’s straight up abuse. You’re teaching him not to come to you when he’s hurt because you might hurt further. Do better.
@david_r_morgan
So, you’re alleging that Romanian’s are poisoning “avid cigar smoker” (Newsweek) and alleged criminal Andrew Tate. Where are you getting your information, and what kind of poison is it?
“He looks very unwell.” Yeah, I can imagine being in prison would have that effect on people.

Liz: *removes anesthesia intake* “Hey, you’re about to cut me open! Why aren’t you wearing a mask? Aren’t you worried about giving me an infection??”
Liz’s surgeon: “Lol. I will NOT comply.”
New rule: anyone who says “sex is meant for procreation” is no longer allowed to enjoy it. Clothes on, no foreplay, missionary only, no vocalizing, no contact except penetration, no edging, and no eye contact. You’re only allowed to stare at the wall and contemplate Ayn Rand.

1) Do you think cis men doing this is new?
2) Do you think non-gendered changing rooms are new?
3) Do you think gendered changing rooms would have deterred this man when his intent was to commit a crime?
4) Who in this scenario was a transgender person?
Make it make sense.

Oh, so he’s not going to come to you because you publicly humiliated him for not wearing his helmet.
Yeah, that’s not better. He’ll remember the abuse. So will Twitter.
To anyone who thinks bodily autonomy is conditional: go fuck yourself.
If you didn’t just go fuck yourself even though I told you to, then congratulations: you finally get what bodily autonomy means.
If someone irresponsibly ejaculates into another person, and it results in a pregnancy, the person who caused it (the irresponsible ejaculator) should absolutely pay damages, and it doesn’t matter if it means paying for an abortion or paying child support.

…is this something that ever happens? I cannot recall a time I’ve ever done this, ever witnessed this happen, has ever discussed this among peers…
If bodily autonomy is not protected for you, it’s not protected for me, and it’s not protected for my own child, whose reproductive rights I will fiercely defend from cowards like you,

@bdk1521
I don’t understand how people can derive pleasure from someone who is unwilling—who they claim to love—and believe their perceived entitlement is more important than their partner’s mental & physical wellbeing. If all they want is a sexual object, there are literal toys for that!
@KristanHawkins
There are plenty of good arguments, and I know they’ve been shared with you. You’re simply not listening or still choosing to put the health of non-existent people over the health of pregnant people. You will always stick to the script, and I will always push back.

@MuellerSheWrote
My dude, you just jumped into to defend a group that was not being attacked. She mentioned “rapists”, and you took offense. Did you conflate the two, or did you identify with the word she used, and you just decided to out yourself in front of the entire world?
How to avoid using slurs:
1) Don’t use slurs.
Apparently, this requires elaboration.
1) If you don’t know what a word means, don’t use it.
2) Look it up. Google has more than one source. A consensus is usually easy to find.
3) If it’s a slur, don’t use it.

Sex isn’t the only thing that causes pregnancies. Children shouldn’t be forced to give birth, nor should anyone else for that matter.
Also, marriage doesn’t make children. That’s…not how it works.

Yeah, you know, glowing red eyes, tells his mentor he hates him, slaughters a bunch of innocent children. Space Jesus because Christian story.
A woman just “not all men’d” in defense of her husband and sons, and while she may be right, I have to wonder how many parents or spouses of misogynists, rapists, rape-apologists, etc. think this about them, too.
@LannyBrown78
Assault always occurs when *checks notes* rapists assault women. The fact that you’re constantly defending it and blaming victims tells everyone you’re guilty of one the worst crimes imaginable. I hope you get everything you deserve as a result.
TW - Touching without consent
There has been a conversation lately that has my moots buzzing about it, and as much as people anger me, I’ve reached a point where I’m hardly surprised.
A few years ago, there was a convention in Denver, and a cosplayer was getting pics taken.
🧵
@caitlin_roper
It is about safe exploration, serving each other’s needs, respecting boundaries, and establishing trust. Regardless of the possible origins, dominance and submission is not gender specific. Kink shaming centers your feelings in the relationships of others.
Born people have bodily autonomy, and as such, I get to be selfish about what happens to my own body. If I don’t want to donate my kidney, and you need it to live, let me know where to send the flowers, Dustin.
@theladykatie
There is nothing more basic or important to our existence than our natural ability and inalienable right to self determine. The enforcement of gestation is unnatural and immoral. No matter how grotesque you may find abortion, revoking bodily autonomy is more so.
Aside from the fact she never once claimed it was sexual assault, it was plainly not JUST a hug, but of course that distracts from the overall point:
You’re not allowed to touch anyone without their express permission. Consent is never implied EVER. Submission is NOT consent.
@JesseKellyDC
You see two people who love each other holding two babies they wanted and love, and you’re reaction to it is “look what we’ve become”? What specifically is your issue with people who love each other becoming loving parents? Be specific.

Maybe we’re not attacking space. Maybe we are disappointed with someone spending their time and vast resources as though they’d pioneered space travel, automobiles, and flamethrowers instead of tackling immediate and dire global issues. THAT would represent hope.
Friends,
Outside of this tweet, I am never mentioning my wife or our kid again. Someone I thought I knew made the unforgivable choice of assuming she knows about my personal life, and in doing so, put me in a position that would require me giving away personal information…

TW // Stalking
Hey friends. I know a lot of you prefer to remain anonymous on social media because there are a LOT of creeps and trolls. There is a security risk you should be made aware of when sharing media from other services/applications.
🧵
I slept for maybe 30 minutes. It’s only 9am, and I’ve already had it with transphobic and homophobic trolls, misogynists, White people having a typical one, forced-birthers, and people proudly stanning hate speech disguised as comedy. 😤
Animal pics are welcome. 🐶
TW // Rape, incest, forced birth
“It’s not the existence of pregnant 10 year olds that concerns me, but rather the audacity of mentioning them.”
She said a child should be forced to gestate and give birth, and this her reaction because the backlash isn’t going well for her. 🖕🏻
@theladykatie
“I’m not going to bring up my opponent’s youth and inexperience.” Clever, but it’s been done.
Thank you for admitting you’re okay with forcing a 10 year old to give birth since it doesn’t account for the other 99% of abortions, tho you did try to sidestep it entirely.
One more thing: we need to stop giving prior generations a pass. I don’t care that they too had been conditioned. They had the same opportunities we have today to demand change and to stop perpetuating it. I don’t ever want to hear, “oh, he’s just an old man. It’s what they do.”
For safety, before you share media from other services, delete the “?” and everything that comes after it. The media will still work, but no account info will be included.
Please share, and if you have any other safety tips, please add. Stay safe! 💜
Fragile man with 1.1M followers sees an opinion from a woman with 1.1K followers, decides to have a fit in her mentions, and draw his legion stans to do the same. Swell guy.
@Cernovich
Weird. When I go to the gym, I’m usually too focused on what I’m doing to be worried about seeing other gym members, just as they are too focused on what they are doing to be looking around to see who is looking at them. Maybe y’all are focused on the wrong things.
Everyone deals with assault and harassment differently and just because you would have handled it a certain way, doesn’t mean everyone else obligated to do the same. Plus, you have no idea WHAT you would do in that moment until you’re in it.
@theladykatie
One beings dependence on another’s body for survival does not supersede bodily autonomy. Without respect to self-determination, free societies cannot be created/protected. You’re asking to be property of the state.
If forced-birthers wrote jokes the way they conjure hypotheticals:
How many pancakes can you fit in a 3 inch hole?
Red. Because ice cream has no bones.
We have been conditioned by previous generations to submit to any kind of touching from authority (adults, basically). We’re taught that denying embrace is impolite. This has had and will continue to have an impact on us as we reach adulthood.
Apologists tried to make his actions her fault because she didn’t say no. They could not get it through their heads that the onus was on him to ask and respect her when she says no, not for her ti constantly revoke implied consent (which again is never implied).
@theladykatie
So…you have a fetish. I mean, that’s your right, but you should do the right thing, and flag every image as sensitive since not everyone enjoys your fetish.
Fear, conditioning, embarrassment, needing to make a split second decision, and many other factors play into how one reacts even if they think they would do what you claim you would do. How a person reacts doesn’t mean that they were okay with it.
