like i get it but a lot of the shit she was saying made me roll my eyes
idk the context here but lots of these are valid for men too, especially gnc or lgbt men like
is she trying to one up men here or?
it’s bc of that guy who didn’t get time for raping that woman. so she’s trying the guilt trip approach to get ppl to vote.
like yeah. a lot of ppl experience similar things. it’s not -just- cis women. and that’s what annoyed me bc she made it sound like we’re living in the 1700-1800s when women were controlled for everything.
Men can’t compliment anyone without being called “creepy” or being a “stalker”
Men can’t express their repressed emotions because then they’re not “manly”
Men won’t be taken seriously if they’ve been raped and will be told that they should feel “honored”.
Men can’t really do anything involving basic generosity without being called a rapist for it.
Men can’t be allowed body positivity because in the end they’re just “disgusting pigs”.
Men can’t express friendliness with another guy without being called “gay” for it, while in the same breath be accused of having “fragile masculinity”.
Men won’t be taken seriously if they’ve faced domestic abuse from their partner, because he “probably deserved it”.
Men can’t talk about their issues with society without being called misogynist.
And by the way, you’re never supposed to leave your drink unattended at a bar regardless of your gender. She’s acting as if women can’t be rapists or be just as creepy, and that they’re just innocent angels uwu~~
I get where she’s coming from, and of course we all know that there’s definitely been some piece of shit men, but women aren’t exempt from this.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Men get date rape drugs in their drinks.
Men get abused by their significant others.
Law enforcement doesn’t take abuse against men seriously, especially if the perpetrator is a much smaller woman, but ooo man if he ever defends himself…
Not only that but no one gets handsier when drunk than women, like compare patrons at a male strip club vs. a women’s Female patrons get their hands all up in there and no one says shit, a dude accidentally touches a female stripper and he gets literally thrown out by a 500 pound dude who looks like he consumes nothing but steroids and protein powder. Remember that scottish themed bar with the men who went on strike to get the kilt part of their uniforms removed because drunk women wouldn’t stop grabbing their junk uninvited?
My issue with this is that such a ruling could open the door in copyright law for publishers to start sacking people for usage fees every-time they so much as post a gif from a movie without explicit sourcing.
watching these movies and I noticed that both Anakin/Padme and Han/Leia have a emotionally fraught misunderstanding scene where the lady says “hold me” and her love interest holds her tenderly
so now I’m wondering if we’re going to get Rey saying “hold me” to Ben in IX. Rey and Ben have already done the “don’t be afraid/I’m not afraid” parallel like his parents and grandparents. Let. Them. Hug.
Guys. Ben and Rey connect through the Force bond after his mother dies and he asks her to hold him I’M NOT CRYING
the internet sucks because social justice language that serves an actual purpose is constantly getting bastardized and watered down because eternally online idiot dickheads have managed to appellate it and apply it to whip up that online social justice crowd to go after people that haven’t really done anything wrong in the greater scheme of things but just got into a petty dispute on a forum a decade ago
people can spin entire elaborate fake moral narratives about shit when the core issue isn’t even racism or abuse or whatever these types say it’s about but at the core is just cause they don’t like them or cause they want them to get fucked over by the twitter do ya thang environment that’s been created
nobody gives a shit if you just say “I don’t like X cause they said I was wrong and made me feel bad”
BUT change some verbiage around, and say it like “X said I was wrong and this is why this is abusive” you get the pitchforks and torches crowd
this is, i feel, the entire thing around mansplaining cause I’ll be honest?
to be real?
I think mansplaining actually does exist, but in very very limited qualities.
but now these days any power tripping person online can call any case of an obvious male (or mistaken male/someone the speaker SAYS is male) contradicting someone or even politely disagreeing with them as mansplaining, when it was originally a term that applied to very specific cases of men being condescending and talking down to (mostly) women, spurred from chauvinistic and sexist attitudes
it has been warped to the point where everything can be framed as mansplaining or misogyny when you say something negative or critical about a woman or someone claiming to be a woman or someone of one of those non mainstream gender identities
it’s used less as a specific behavior to recognize and more used as a target to paint on someone’s back
this is why everything is some bizarre moral failing these days in fandoms and whatever else, i feel, ESPECIALLY on this website, though twitter and every other online environment got it now too to a lesser extent
and this has happened to so many actual useful terms like “triggering” “emotional labor” “gaslighting” “abuse”
things that are steeped in behavior sciences, social sciences, outside the internet activism and therapy are being coopted by people that don’t understand the words, the context of their usage, underlying terminology or when they’re used
folks like that think “haha i have a handy gotcha for the people that are sending me nasty anons on my steven universe fan blog”
this is bad
i mean, this really screws over people that go through abuse or have ptsd from actual real life offline shit and trivializes the fuck out of those terms
and if you don’t see the problem with that, damn son, i feel bad for you
He’s right. Hell, they’ve taken just about anything in jargon to mean what they want, even if that jargon was literally made for a special case that doesn’t even apply to what they’re using it for.
Don’t get me started on the “spoons theory”. It was invented by a woman with lupus, as a simple analogy to help healthy, non-disabled people understand the difficulty and exhaustion of daily life with a chronic illness or disability. It specifically refers to health conditions that are hard to manage and sap your energy. However, the Tumblrites latched onto it and began applying it to every health condition;just claim you “don’t have the spoons for this”, and you have an automatic out for any discussion you don’t like or situation you don’t want to confront.
OOOOOOH do I get to mention, as somebody with PTSD, how much I hate how trigger was bastardized, and how nobody on this hellsite who used it as the above point (ie bastardized something that was extremely specific) will take fucking responsibility (then again expecting late Millenials and Gen-Z to do that is like pulling teeth) and just go, it was made to make fun of PTSD victims. It’s like no Jane, it was to make fun of your 13 year-old self saying stupid ass shit like you were triggered by blue in a post on a goddamn website that is blue.
The same thing happened to pedophile. What once meant “adult molesting minors” now means “anime fan”, “16 and 19 year old”, “man in the vicinity of children”, “someone who likes shows with kids in them”
So now when someone calls someone a pedophile, we never know if they mean someone who is a danger to society or someone whose tastes are different from theirs.
PLEASE IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHERE MY HUSBAND IS SHARE IT WITH ME OR THE MASON OHIO PD
PLEASE SHARE THIS POST TO HELP FIND MY HUSBAND
Dillon Alexander Williams went to Kings Island with me and my mother Melanie Dean but is now nowhere to be found. Last time I saw him was at the Build a Bear in Kings Island and he seemed completely fine. After hours of security searching they discovered my husband was no longer in the park and hadn’t been since 11 am. He was seen on camera walking out of the park, through the Soak City parking lot and out towards the Sunoco on the other side of the street.
He was last seen wearing black jeans, pink converse, a red and black Deadpool letterman jacket and a Marie the cat beanie like in the pictures I’ve provided.
I’ve been asking around and no one has seen him. This is legitimately the most terrifying thing I’ve ever experienced in my life, please, if you have ANY info call the Mason PD or send me a PM on here. I just want my husband home.
Dillon ran from abuse. Here’s FB posts for context. PLEASE DO NOT GET INVOLVED WITH THE FB THREAD ANY FURTHER…. it’s being made impossible to not only navigate but for Dillon’s very own family and friends to communicate and be heard. They don’t need your two cents on the situation. How can complete strangers tell them what’s best when we obviously don’t even have the full story and they do?
Heathens all of you, this is none of your business… what we should be doing is debunking this tumblr post.
^^READ THIS.
Jesus fuck! I hope he’s okay and I hope he never has to deal with you’re toxic self again! How could you sit here and use this website to find him?! You need to get your life together. Leave him be and when he’s ready to talk to you then there you go. For the people who looked into it further thank you. But for the people who helped this abuser without even thinking about it… Come on now guys. STOP HELPING THE ABUSER!

I called the Mason PD myself and asked if there was a missing persons report on Dillon Williams and /yes/ there is an actual report and search going on for this guy. So it’s not made up that he’s missing.
HEY GUYS I DID MORE DIGGING ON THIS AND GOT IN TOUCH WITH DILLON’S MOTHER
He’s not missing, its a false police report. He’s trying to get away from his wife.
Obviously I asked permission to post these screenshots of the conversation I had with his mother. He is not missing. OP is trying to use Tumblr and Facebook and stranger’s lack of knowledge of the family and situation to find him and control and further abuse him.
