We try to replicate what we see in our society and media. We as a society need to stop portraying women in media as mere eye candy for the male-gaze. Of course, if you happen to be Legolas, the rules do not apply. :)
“Men speak humorously, or so they say, of ‘the war between the sexes’—a transparent and guileful attempt to mislead us into thinking that there is a natural enmity between men and women, and that the ‘sides’ are evenly matched. Nothing could be further from the truth on both counts. The ‘war between the sexes’ is man made, and it is not between anybody. It is against women.”
-Sonia Johnson, Going Out of Our Minds: The Metaphysics of Liberation (1987), p. 257
Nice to see a man, even if just in the movies, defer to competence.
I’m glad youtube exists for videos like this one. It allows me to make more reasonable calls to my plumber because stuff like “pipe make bad noise” just seems silly. :)
The never erring Word of god, well…seems a little vague to me, at least given this list.
These are the threats that entitled misogynists in dresses regularly hurl at women. These are the actions of men when you disagree with them. Feeling progressive and supportive of the trans-cult agenda yet? I know I’m not. Male violence and the threat of male violence is the first tool use in patriarchy to oppress females, if these ‘trans-women’ had even one small fucking inkling of what actually being a woman in society is like, they wouldn’t do shit like this. But they do, almost every time. So if you go against their pornified-male-gaze based version of what a woman is – this is what you get.
Transactivsm isn’t progressive, it isn’t ‘inclusive’ and sure as cats shit in my garden, it ain’t no feminism.
