I Just Saw This On Twitter But I Couldn't Find The User Of The OP. Anyways, Damn Right

Let me describe to you what kind of world gender abolitionists actually dream about: When a child would be born it’s biological sex, being an actual physical reality, would be noticed but not a single assumption regarding the child’s personality would be made based on it. Growing up, children would be free to chose what toys and clothes they prefer. If they want to play with toy trucks or dolls, it would be fine either way. If they want to dress comfortably or in frilly colorful dresses, it would be fine. Regardless of the child’s biological sex. Certain personality traits would not be encouraged in members of one sex and discouraged in the other. Females would be free to be strong, brave and assertive and males would not be shamed for being shy and soft spoken. No female child would be called a tomboy and no male child would be called a sissy. No kid would ever be bullied for what we in our gendered world call “gender expression”. When children would reach puberty they would still be free to dress how they want. Females would not be pressured to wear clothes that reveal their bodies and males would not be shamed if they chose to. Everybody would have a free choice of accessories, which would not be categorized as “men’s” or “women’s” but people could should whichever they liked. Or chose to not wear accessories at all if that’s what they are more comfortable with. Females would not be pressured to keep their bodies slim, soft and hairless. Males would not be pressured to be athletic and muscular. Expectations of femininity and masculinity upon the body would not exist and affect negatively people’s relationship with their own body. Everyone could choose a career without fearing stigmatization within that particular field because of their biological sex. The most important thing would be competence and not what someone has between their legs. Domestic work would not be considered “women’s work” and would be shared equally between the sexes. Biological sex would only be thought about when relevant. Like for example in regards to issues surrounding sexual activity, reproduction or treatment of medical conditions related to a person’s biological sex. And everyone would be free to be themselves without ever having to worry about gender expectations. Nobody would feel the need to repress certain parts of their personality and exaggerate others in order to fit into some gender role that is being forced on them. Gender abolitionism is not about restricting people’s choices but about giving them greater freedom.

i remember about a year ago during the stephen hawking/epstein situation I saw a tweet that said that people were joking about it because it was little girls getting raped, if it were little boys, it would be taken much more seriously.

I finally understand what she meant

the planet is desensitized to female sexual abuse, it happens everywhere after all, we are constantly exposed to it, it's woven into our subconscious, into our very existence, it is seen as something normal, natural, inevitable even

libfems and male apologists will try and tell you that male rape victims have it harder than female ones.

propaganda.

men getting raped has always been seen as more abhorrent, because it's seen as unnatural. with women, it's something inherent to their experience and dismissed as unremarkable

but when you see it happening to a man, you can see for yourself what it truly is; a brutal act of sadistic domination, you empathise with the victim, imagine their pain, imagine how humiliated they feel, when it's a woman, it's just a statistic. woman are constantly humiliated, business as usual.

Major Father Custody Myths 👨👧👦⚖️

There is a major MRA/redpill/manopshere talking point that needs to be confronted and debunked. Many redpillers argue that the family courts are unfair to fathers in custody disputes and always let the mother have the children.

It's important for women thinking about having children to realize that this isn't true. You could absolutely lose your kids.

First, the great majority (over 90%) of the time, the father doesn't ask for custody. It is a sad fact that when a male loses sexual access to the mother of his children (whether she breaks up with/divorces him or vice versa), he doesn't care about his children anymore. Of course, this is not always the case, but a large percentage of the time, possibly most of the time. This data point belies males' assertion that they care about and love their kids and the big, bad woman is keeping them away.

Second, the majority (about 70%) of the time when males request at least half custody, they receive it. Horrifyingly, abusive fathers are more likely to want full custody, and they often receive it. In fact, in multiple states, a rapist can get custody of the resulting baby. Remember that not long ago domestic violence and child sexual assault were considered "family matters."

Third, many males who have custody aren't even raising their own kids. Their own mother or sister or the new girlfriend is actually watching the kids. This is largely due to the fact that 75% of childcare is done by the mother, not the father, so many males do not know how to take care of their children, what their routines are, what their allergies are and the ins-and-outs of their medical conditions, etc. Most of the time these women are not getting paid to watch the kids, and the only reason he even asked for custody is so he doesn't have to pay child support as well as to spite the mother. We have all seen fathers go viral and get treated like superheroes for doing something simple such as brushing their kid's hair.

I have a couple anecdotes related to the above. I was once friends with someone who was dating a cop who was not in his 4-year-old daughter's life. When I asked why, she regurgitated to me what he had told her, that the evil woman wouldn't let him see his child. I told her that getting the other parent considered "unfit" by the court was actually a pretty high bar to meet and that especially with him being a cop, all he would have to do if he actually cared was to go to court and request joint custody, that he would surely get it. We all know of cases where CPS even gave kids back to drug-addicted, negligent, or violent parents. I informed her she was dating someone who didn't care about his kid. Her face was priceless.

In another situation, when my sister was a teen, she was friends with someone whose father had done prison time for raping a 16-year-old-girl and a 14-year-old boy. He was a house painter, which is how he had access to them. My sister's friend was a 16-year-old girl and her brother was a 14-year-old boy, the exact demographics of those their father had raped. Their mother allowed him back in the house when he got out of prison, which, shockingly, the law also allowed him to do. In fact, my mother didn't find out he was a convicted child sex offender until my sister had slept over at their house multiple times.

This is an important manopshere talking point to rebut and about which to set the story straight because it's one of those myths even women calling themselves "feminists" have largely fallen for. Please do not make children with males. There are a lot of great reasons not to do so, but this is definitely one of them. Do not go into parenthood with a false sense of security and wearing rose-colored glasses believing that if things go downhill, the children will stay with you.

i really like the definition of “adult human female” because it says “thats all it is. its not femininity, makeup, submissiveness, softness, anything. all it is is biology. the rest is up to the individual”

I think it's interesting how often "femininity" expects women to cover our faces. From the BDSM masks to Muslim women veiling to the expectation that women wear makeup and not our natural faces. I think it's to stop us from empathizing with each other and to mask the inhumanity in how men treat us. So that for onlookers, there's a clear demarcation between "person" and "woman".

the term "tirf" just reminds me of those people who call themselves atheists but gasp when you criticize a religion other than the one their strict parents raised them in

why do men want to be gynecologists? why? why. gynecology is for females and should be practiced solely by women imo 

i don’t give a fuck if men feel like they’re being excluded from feminism. it’s not meant for them anyways!! something this app needs to understand is that activist movements like feminism, black liberation, lgb rights NEED to be exclusionary so they don’t get derailed. feminists are expected to be the universal mommies to men and cater to their interests. i don’t want to babysit men into caring about women. our collective goal should be to free women from patriarchy, you know? that thing that MEN CREATED??

Opinion | What People at Pornhub Were Thinking When It Shared Videos of Child Rape

Five years ago at Pornhub, executives were removing the most obvious videos of children. But one employee said ‘obvious’ meant a ‘3-year-old

Children around the globe are being abused and traumatized in front of the screen and behind it by P*rnhub, its sister sites, and other free p*rn websites like them.

Yesterday it was reported, for example, that four children ages 9, 11, 12 and 15 sexually assaulted an 8-year-old girl. The children themselves told police that it was because they watched P*rnhub.

“They said they watched P*rnhub,” the mother of the victim lamented as she expressed concern for how easy it is for children to be exposed to online p*rn.

States across the U.S. have implemented age verification laws to protect children from p*rn exposure. In protest against the laws, P*rnhub is shutting itself down in those states and has sued the state of Texas to avoid compliance.

The U.S. Supreme Court will now begin hearing the case for online p*rn age verification to protect children starting January 15. Stay tuned.
