why are people pretending like our surname convention isn’t based around the idea that the family is a man’s property? “why are you saying that they’re their father’s property are sons also their father’s property” ok so you agree, the last name IS the father’s name

@JakeLandauTO *wokely* I prefer my women to be known as belonging to their fathers, not their husbands

everyone sexualizes the power dynamics between dr & patient, so many ppl crack jokes abt how sexually vulnerable/violating certain aspects of healthcare can be, but if you actually bring it up as a serious concern/issue or are traumatized by it, suddenly -you’ve- made it weird

the pick up artistry of evangelism means that the crass violent over the top nazi maga hats are good fodder for the nice guy christian who largely has the same values but the veneer of good old fashioned respectable white conservativism, to further prime you to accept it

much of the cultural, social, and political force of evangelical/conservative christianity is about priming you to agree with its values, regardless of whether or not you agree with its beliefs

I played house with boys. my best friend was a boy and he had his own cabbage patch doll. when we played with toy cars, we were just…playing house. his car asked my car to get married
bunnie@CuriousBunnie12

it’s very funny how adults forget how little girls play. as a child my “ playing house” plot lines were as dramatic as a soap opera. there was infidelity, backstabbing and probably an asteroid coming to kill all life on earth as we know it.

@JessPected it’s never presented as distressing. they want excuse and leeway for feelings & behaviors that they honestly don’t think are that wrong, bc it isn’t unwanted and unwilling. if the rest of us find ourselves feeling out-of-control rage, that’s a “fuck I better fix this” experience

@write_tor This. If you tell me you're a rabid dog barely restraining yourself from biting, I'm not going to feel grateful. I'm going to want a solution to that threat beyond the struggling restraint of someone telling me to thank them.

Meanwhile they say women can't be in leadership roles because they'll get their period & do something irrational. But men raping, beating, & murdering women? Women need to be more understanding. Testosterone is scary.

@JessPected if they believe this then honestly they should be more than willing to surrender their testosterone. we should be able to siphon it out of their blood and give it to a responsible transmasc.

@JessPected “women should just appreciate how hard we’re fighting to NOT rape you. like it’s not an excuse but also it’s really REALLY hard. if i DON’T rape you like you should understand that that took EVERYTHING in me”
