🧵 Contrary to popular opinion on this site, radical feminism does *not* frame men and women as innately "evil" and "good," respectively. What it does is present a dominance model, whereby men are *empowered* to commit sexual and physical violence to uphold male supremacy. (1/7)

ICE detains young woman who came to courthouse to report being sexually assaulted—hasn't been heard from since. "She's victim of sexual assault," witness tells agent. "And you're arresting her and kidnapping her?" "Bro, why you grabbing her so tight? You're a big man, you can’t

I feel like straight women engaging in corrective homophobic daydreaming about Jonathan Bailey being bi while being disgusted by actual bisexual men is pretty telling--it's seen as an abstract heterosexual potentiality when it's not present and as a queer threat when it is.

Why guess when you can know?

What people conveniently leave out of this type of discussion is that men are very likely to be the ones initiating, it may not be safe to disclose or to tell them to stop, the point of this rhetoric is just to empower straight men further and provide excuses for their violence.

These people are never going to stop advocating for straight men's right to harass and assault any woman they want and then pretend that they were tricked or lead astray in some way, and therefore they're the real victims and any further violence they commit is not their fault.

gonna need to start tossing screenshots of straight terfs being psychotically biphobic to me at lesbophobic straight women telling me to "hold my community accountable" over random terf shit they found and be like "explain this, evil straight woman"

i need people to immediately stop calling abusive relationships "support systems". what this does is sets up anyone (other queer ppl) who can help as the actual abusers trying to steal you away. it's extremely obv that queerness is despised as a matter of maintaining the family

It's also a very niche thing, so the hysteria around it is suspect--virtually everybody who gets into this form of separatism does so voluntarily, nobody's forcing straight women to give up men, it's not that rare to be drawn to is because you weren't straight in the first place.

The critique is about inequality being baked into how gender is constructed, heterosexuality as a regime being designed to extract labor, the social incentives to defend the scraps of patriarchal respectability you get through relationships with men. It's not just "men are evil."

It's not really a moral issue--you don't have to turn decent men down out of principle, but if you're not interrogating the social pressures telling you that you *need* to invest real time and energy into finding one, then the performative misandry doesn't mean anything.

Frustrating how the conversation on straight women saying they hate men and then dating them anyway is met by mantras like "sexuality isn't a choice" and "everyone wants love" when compulsory heterosexuality for straight women does mean compulsively trying to make it work.

noticing that a lot of ppl seem to have forgotten or don’t want to accept that straight women are privileged over and do in fact oppress lesbians, not the other way around and we arent on equal playing fields just bc we’re both women

It's really concerning how many people are framing family as a 'support system' here, even in a situation where the family structure is serving its patriarchal function and applying coercive pressure. It's not playing a 'supportive' role if its purpose is to control you.

i'm so tired of the most blatant misogyny (and oftentimes transmisogyny) being read as queer-coding, queer subtext, queer themes. some creators just hate women, most straight men are homosocial and misogynistic. stop equating hatred for women as attraction towards men!!!

This is all just blatant rape apologia. These are the exact narratives that would get pushed in a courtroom or even just by society in general to discredit a victim--they're all just versions of "you should have been more able to resist if you really wanted to."

I love how philosophy being at the top of the list gives the illusion that men as a group are at all likely to be into it, when what's actually going on is that it's a small field that's extremely male dominated and that 40% of people active in it now being women is a good sign.

A raccoon broke into a Virginia liquor store, smashed bottles, drank the spilled alcohol, and was found passed out on the bathroom floor. Animal control confirms he sobered up safely.

this is so funny

Wish people would stop insisting upon using 'monosexual' to refer to individual queer people, it's an ideological tendency, not a category, and you're actively perpetuating the binary logic behind it by trying to neatly shove everyone into boxes of your own making.

Bimisogyny is actually potentially a great conceptualisation. It understands that biphobia against men is fundamentally different, it doesn't rely on treating monosexism as a real thing and correctly frames the oppressive mechanisms as an intersection of forces.

Sexual harassment include but are not limited to: - Unwanted touching - Sexual comments or jokes - Inappropriate staring - Sending sexual messages or images - Spreading sexual rumor - Persistent unwanted flirting - Sexual threats or intimidation - Catcalling -

🚨 BREAKING NEWS Santa missed payroll again and the elves are threatening a walk out right before the holiday. This is a developing story.

I hate how fast even allegedly liberal people are to insist that calling out something they like as sexual harassment undermines discussions about 'real' sexual harassment, which they assure you they definitely take seriously. It's just a transparently conservative deflection.
