Yeah, kill a billionaire president instead of getting him to owe you his life and getting access to unfathomable resources, that’s why none of you make money
Id save him, why? Not just what Dasha said. But you fucking harpies don’t think people can change. You have an opportunity to make things right and maybe getting him to see your way but no. People in your eyes can’t change and orange man is always evil huh?
I have people I know who would most likely disagree with me but if it’s the right thing to do then I’m going to do it. Nothing is needed in return. I try to do the right thing because I can.
Also on the people changing argument. Those who are quick to condemn others in this fashion are usually the first ones to ask for compassion and forgiveness when they fuck up.
Or demand it.
@lastsonlost excellent point. Sometimes you should just be good for the sake of being good.
Regardless of whether they care to admit it or not…….
EVERYONE EVERYONE EVERYONE EVERYONE
….Is it going to need to be forgiven in the power to forgive is the farthest thing from weakness. No matter how well you deceive yourself your going to find yourself needing the mercy and forgiveness of another.
When that happens you going to hope that they’re not as merciless as you were.
First of all, it’s not nice to take pictures without sourcing them to the photographer. Which is doubly important because if you had you would have found the rest of Paul Wiggin’s photos of this sumatran tiger cub from the Chester Zoo and and used this one instead, which is objectively 10x better in every way
EL TIGRE ES PEQUEÑO Y GORDO Y ENOJADO
Adding more photos of this tiny and fat and aNGRY boi
trying to force queer people to be totally nonsexual and “pure” to the point that you condemn them for creating/consuming queer content and accuse them of fetishizing their own orientation by experiencing sexual attraction is literally the Fake Woke Tumblr Gay version of fundie conservatives insisting that “i’m fine with the gays as long as they keep it in the bedroom and never act gay in front of me”
That one post that’s like “um sweety millennials do read and write. That’s what we do on social media” as if there isnt an order of magnitude of difference between the sustained focus required to read epic twitter clapbacks by verified jagoffs and I dont know, processing a narrative, analyzing poetry, comprehending a scientific paper, or even reading an article
…. I just had a meeting with a parent. He had a phone call and stepped out, leaving his three year old daughter with her tablet in the office. The second her dad leaves…. she starts playing porn. Incredibly loud…. on her tablet…. When I went to get her father to tell him she turned it off… but he checked the history and saw that I was telling the truth… and she was so mad that she was caught watching porn… I….. I’m….
I have a strong feeling the child found the dads porn collection and she doesn’t know what the implications are of what she’s seeing. She just thinks it’s “people wrestling naked” and doesn’t know that it’s bad/wrong.
She knew it was fucking wrong she tried to hide it from her fucking dad- she didn’t even flinch seeing it on screen and panicked when I told her father- it wasn’t a shared tablet it was HER. TABLET. NOT HER DADS. WHY WOULD HER DADS PORN BE ON A CHILDS PERSONAL TABLET?
Then there’s a chance she’s being groomed or molested. I hope the father doesn’t beat/punish the child because usually if the kid KNOWS and it’s on their tablet at that young age it’s a sign of grooming.
i don’t know if they’ve been raised by their misogynistic fathers
or if they just choose not to stand with feminism and with their own sisters, mothers, aunts because they want to appeal to men or just be not like the other girls
but it’s so ridiculous and upsetting
i just want to know who hurt you tbh
I’d tell you but I have to go to my secret patriarchy meeting that you’re not invited to, sorry.
I have a minor in Women’s Studies. It was getting that minor that led me to leaving the feminist movement.
Can’t really be sure which part made me leave but I had a lot to choose from:
-massive victimization complex and culture
-condescending bullshit (much like OPs)and elitism, usually coming from someone from Western, middle-to-upper class privileged backgrounds
-pretending that inconvenient parts of their history didn’t exist (rampant racism, homophobia, eugenics, ableism, transphobia).
-promotion of history by “scholars” who wanted to provide either scary horror sound-bites (”The Burning Times” “rule of thumb”) or feel-good fake history (the idea of a giant overarching ancient feminist matriarchy where everything was perfect until PATRIARCHY).
-pushing of the “right” literature and the “right” authors
-rampant anti-Christianity, especially against the Catholic Church. All others got a free pass.
-idealization of lesbianism as the epitome of feminism, while simultaneously ignoring actual lesbian issues
-aggressively promoting limitless free sex, even if it meant supporting birth control methods known to be harmful, pretending STDs are minor issues, making up statistics and using figureheads to promote abortion, which is always perfect
– condenscending feminist pseudo-colonialist behavior towards non-Western countries. They are either overly idealized and ignore anything bad coming from them, or passive-aggressively lecture them on “women’s health”, making sure village health centers have plenty of MVAs for abortions and Depo-Provera kits but no mosquito nets to prevent malaria
– Want to have kids? If the anti-child rhetoric doesn’t sway you, Here’s some heavy-handed anti-medical propaganda and promotion of birthing like you’re in the third world, regardless of you or the baby’s ultimate health.
Well, I will take some of that back, there were two classes I took for the minor that were worthwhile.
Women and Minorities in the Media, which focused on actual real-time strategies that people could do to move things forward, encouraging action instead of passive complaining and protesting. Like challenging feminist rhetoric
Medieval Women’s History, where I learned that, for a supposed backwards oh-so-evil Catholic Church that hated all those strong women, they sure produced and revered a lot of strong women that did fantastic things. That class was also a major factor in me leaving Wicca and becoming a Catholic, but that’s another story.
Why do so many feminists, who agree Freud was a sexist psycho, always default to “sorry your daddy oppressed you.”
Fucking really?
My dad, whose mom was a WAC in WWII and came from a family of tough Italian women, taught me how to fish and camp, helped me with my Girl Scout projects, and volunteered for awhile at a domestic abuse shelter helping battered women.
What’s your dad done? Shit, honey, what have YOU done?
it’s people like you why I left the feminist movement. Look in the mirror – there’s the problem. Lies, misdirection, gaslighting, victim-blaming, willful ignorance and absolute refusal to even CONSIDER AND LISTEN to constructive criticism.
That’s pretty much why I left as well. The constant bullying and ostracizing and cultish attitude was just too much. Say the wrong thing and bam, they throw you under the bus and expect you to grovel at their feet for forgiveness, and they won’t give it, but they’ll make you think they will. I saw that too many times and refused to play the game. Glad I ditched them. I don’t need more abuse in my life.
Actually it was feminists, trying to tell me that the men around me are evil. And that I am somehow an eternal victim. Even in the Western Society, in which I have a freedom that women in a large portion of the world only dream of.
Women in days gone by did many wonderful things, for which I will always be thankful to them. Whether they called themselves feminists or not, I neither know or care.
But present day Western feminists do nothing whatsoever to make me want to join them.
And I can love and want to support other women without calling myself a feminist and certainly without hating men.
I wish I could add to this, but my feelings are perfectly summed up already.
It’s worth pointing out as well that all of the above, and many other women? Don’t have issues with equality. Don’t have issues with the actual concept. It’s the society within the movement that’s the problem.
