Reminds me of my mom getting remarried several years ago, for about a weekend – dude waited until after the wedding to tell her he expected her at waiting at home with dinner waiting when he finished work.
I dunno, like I get that this version of manhood is “normal” but goddamn is it the most brittle, contemptable fuckin thing
This article starts with the rather arresting sentence, “Most people see about 4–5 lions each day — as toys, on television, in logos.” It goes on to discuss that this overrepresentation has caused people to think that there are generally a lot of lions in the world, with repercussions for conservation.
I’ve seen 2 lions already today – a toy that Glassbab had this morning, and the one in the article. Today, I am going to keep track of how many lions I see.
one of my favorite tropes of all time is when the author tries to replace curse words with a more ‘family friendly’ alternative or invent new words for worldbuilding purposes but they use existing words that make the whole thing unintentionally hilarious out of context
like these absolute gems, for example
I just died laughing
Kavanaugh seriously just wrote an op ed to reassure us all that he’ll be an impartial judge, and was just “overly emotional” last week
This isn’t some kind of liberal you’re dealing with
who is operating under denial and tries to be a decent person to some level at least.
These people are on the same level as westboro baptist churchers. They want trans women eradicated. Destroyed. Literally “morally mandated out of existence” (as Janice Raymond wrote).
They want us dead.
They can not be reasoned with. They can’t be convinced. They can’t be made to see reality. They will, even if you attempt gentle communication, work to hurt you. They will work to abuse you. They will work to do as much harm as possible in the hopes that they can either cow you to their genocidal viewpoint or harm you enough to defend yourself so they can claim you were a “violent dangerous male”.
The only purpose for communicating with a terf is to tear apart their rhetoric for others to see. Make it clear that they’re wrong to others. You’re not here to convince them. It’s not worth the cost of trauma to you.
Seriously, it’s not worth it. Don’t expose yourself to it. If you have to engage, do it swiftly, rip their crap apart and then block and move on. They are out to hurt you. And enough of us die every day, enough of us suffer every day, for any of us to go into hell willingly.
Please just don’t do it.
This post recently got reblogged by a bunch of shitty terfs and because I simply blocked them instead of engaging, my day wasn’t ruined. So it works 🙂
I just blocked yet more terfs thanks to this post. I’m feeling great 🙂
Using posts like this as honeypots works wonders. TERFs don’t talk to me anymore (and I suddenly started getting less anonymous suicide baiting, weirdly enough.)
