ikr I’m 7 years sober and ready to throw molotovs lmfao

I don’t trust these ghouls to pour me a glass of water, they won’t get anywhere near my body

I think we need societal change and I don’t think blanket prescribing women what to do or not do like this is necessarily the way to go about it. It’s more structural but also, women get told what to do all the time and this is how the patriarchal systems keep being perpetuated.

Also while it is true that by far the most violence and sexual violence occur within the direct social circles of victims (such as family or work), there is also an element of harassment and abuse that is normalized outside those circles. This is not necessarily immediately violent but it reinforces the same patriarchal structures. Things like making lewd comments, inappropriate touching, threatening violence are still experienced far too often to dismiss them. And as I said, this does not always turn to violence but it very well could and does far too often. This instills a safety culture in women who need to learn to adapt and to endure this harassment and the real danger it brings.

So yeah. Women sending their husbands so they don’t get killed. They have a point there, I’m sorry but they do and pretending they don’t and ‘they should just go outside more’ is reductive and dismissive of the realities women unfortunately face every day.

I’m happy for you, really, but really that is only one experience of course. Data from surveys etcetera show us that a very large majority of women and people perceived as women do experience harassment, abuse and sexual abuse at least once in their lives and data also shows this often is common to women. This often leads women to change their behaviors which they say they wouldn’t have changed if not for those experiences and their awareness of the experiences of other women like female friends and family. I think with the majority of women consistently reporting bad experiences and pretty much every larger scale survey coming back with similar results, we would be wrong to attribute this perceived reality to a media diet. Misunderstanding this issue has the risk of underestimating it or even dismissing it and risks dehumanizing victims. It also actively does not contribute to any solutions.

I am also currently pooping btw just fyi

Oh it’s something people famously have gripes about but I don’t mind it really. It’s not my favorite by any means but it’s fun!

You talk about things you disliked yet you didn’t mention the water temple???

And yeah I really loved playing this when it came out on the original Wii. Played it to death. Loved the story and the designs, and it really sparked an appreciation for world building in me. I wouldn’t mind playing it again some day.

Heartwarming: the worst people you know are fighting

Were you perhaps eating a banana? Apparently to some bees bananas give off smells that are quite similar to disstress or ‘defend/fight’ pheromones

I like to think Youtube removed the dislike count because their youtube year in review videos were getting slammed with dislikes

It’s unreliable from what I have read

I have literally never had anyone flirt with me but maybe I’m just blind as an aro/ace lmfao. Anyway, as someone who also doesn’t want any of that, I’m living life without all these complications and from all the drama I’m hearing about this from others, thank god lol

And extinct from what I understand

And still is in Islam right?

Not to mention she was as hawkish on Iran as anyone. Said Iran was ‘America’s number one enemy’ and she is just as zionist too. She also supports ICE, just not to the extent that Trump does, but that does not matter to the people who would have been caged under her regime like they would have been under Joe Biden’s or Obama’s.

Someone forgot to bring banana

Several times in fact

Feels AI tbh
