Okay, this is my opinion.

I keep seeing people use child avis, which, in itself, I find quite weird. Something about an adult dressing and acting child like just rubs me the wrong way.

EVEN WORSE when they dress said child avi in revealing clothes. AP clothes. Yes, I've seen it a lot. Literal. Child-like features, tiny scalers. Dressed sexually. And YES, many of them even speak like children. I can't.

This is some weird shit and I can't help but think it must be a very sick fetish at this point.

What are your thoughts?

Something the anti-choicers love to claim.

Here's the truth:

The "widespread abortion regret" narrative is a political myth. Peer-reviewed psychological data shows that the overwhelming majority of people who get abortions are highly certain of their decision before the procedure, and feel zero regret afterward.

Furthermore:

The 99% Statistic: The gold standard of research on this is the Turnaway Study out of UCSF. They followed women for five years post-abortion. The result? 99% of women said having the abortion was the right decision for them.

"Women who have abortions are traumatized"

Reality:

The same study looked at the women who were denied abortions because they missed the clinic's gestational cutoff. Those women didn't magically become happy mothers; instead, they suffered significantly higher rates of short-term anxiety, lower self-esteem, and long-term financial insecurity compared to the women who got their abortions.

The fact ist that while people can feel a mix of complex emotions (which is totally normal for any major life decision), the dominant, long-term emotion reported by patients across the board is relief, not regret.

That would be all. Thank you.

My hot take:

Being anti-feminist is embarrassing regardless, but especially as a woman, being against feminism is just insane to me.

Sure there's still countries where women don't have freedom but besides that, that's exactly why feminism is still very much needed.

Without feminism, this is what women wouldn't be able to do:

- choose to not get married or to not have children

- vote

- have their own bank account

- wear pants

- voice their own opinion

- get a job without their husband permission

- get an education

And many more. So, if you're a woman and you're against feminism, hand over your phone, don't speak your mind freely and go get married to a man right now.

That's all.

Here's my take:

If you continue support an artist; whether it's listening to their music, watching their movies, consuming their content or buying their merch, while you're aware that said artist is a predator (for example, if you're aware that artist sexually assaulted someone), it makes you **part of the problem.**

**Famous examples include:**

Boxing legend Mike Tyson, singer Chris Brown, basketball legend Kobe Bryant, actor Brat Pitt, or fighter Connor McGregor.

All of these men have been accused of or proven to be predators. Whether it was abuse, rape, assault.

Those who were not proven guilty almost always payed their way out of it, by the way. It's all about money and the right connections.

The point is:

If you are aware that your favourite artist has done something like that, and you STILL support them, you are problematic as well and part of the problem.

I need to get this off my chest because this view gets constantly shut down in modern progressive spaces. The myth that prostitution, OnlyFans, or porn can be "empowering" if we just label it "sex-positive" is a scam.

From a radical feminist perspective, there is no such thing as "feminist" sex work. It’s a capitalist framework that does nothing but clear men’s consciences. Here is why:

1. A bought "Yes" is not feminist consent

The sex-positive movement claims creators are ultimate boss-babes because they set the rules and make the money. That is a neoliberal illusion.

In a capitalist patriarchy, money is power. When a man pays a woman for sex, it’s not an interaction between equals. His motivation is pure pleasure; her "motivation" is paying rent or surviving. Money doesn't erase the power imbalance; it just commodifies a woman's sexual availability. Celebrating this confuses capitalism with emancipation.

2. "Feminist porn" only cleanses the male conscience

"Ethical" or "feminist" porn; supposedly made by women, diverse, and fairly produced; is a brilliant marketing trick.

At the end of the day, who is still paying for and consuming it? Men. It changes nothing about the foundational structure: men consuming visual access to women’s bodies. It just packages objectification in a chic, intellectual wrapping so the modern, progressive guy doesn't have to feel guilty. It doesn’t free the woman; it just relieves the man's conscience.

3. OnlyFans: Just digital pimping

Platforms like OnlyFans are praised as the ultimate liberation because women are "their own bosses." Spoiler: the pimp wasn’t abolished; he was just digitalized.

Billion-dollar tech corporations take massive cuts, while women bear 100% of the risk: psychological toll, stigma, and digital footprints that last forever. To make money, women must constantly self-commodify and cater to the (often boundary-pushing) fetishes of male subscribers. This isn't breaking free from the male gaze; it’s total submission to it; you're just holding the camera yourself.

The Bottom Line:

Feminism should fight for women's bodies to never be commodities. Any system that ties male sexual access to male financial power remains deeply patriarchal, no matter how digital or "choices-based" you paint it. True sexual liberation isn't about playing the male market successfully. It's about burning the market down.

Change my mind.

This is the pro choice subreddit, I am aware.

I am just here to remind everyone of this:

Banning abortions does not cause women to have less abortions. It only prevents them from having medically safe abortions. Leading to self harm and possible death.

That would be all.

Thank you!

This keeps happening and especially recently, I've seen it a lot more.

People keep inviting predators, rapists, assaulters to talk shows, podcasts etc. and continue to give them a platform.

Recent example would be Connor McGregor who's been proved to be a rapist. Other examples of predators include so called celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio, for example. There's many more.

It's simply insane to me and says a LOT about our society that we continue to give men like that a platform. Victims are not being taken serious enough. Women are not being listened to. But men who are lietral rapists? Sure! Why not give them the spot light!

I am truly disgusted. Not surprised at all, but disgusted.

These men should be called out for what they've done and they should face consequences. But? Nothing happens. They continue their lives like nothing ever happened.

I'm fully aware that our system is extremely corrupt. This is just a little rant.

Thank you.

*This is more of a little rant but feel free to discuss.*

It should come as a surprise to most of you, but I keep noticing that society loves to blame the victim instead of holding the offender accountable.

Let me give you some examples:

1. "What was she wearing?"

The classic. When a woman/ girl gets assaulted, often the first reaction is "well, what was she wearing?" or "she should cover up, then". The victim is blamed for what happened to her, because of her clothes.

I don't have to tell y'all that this is bullshit. It's never the clothes and it's never the victims fault. And revealing clothes also don't "provoke" or justify any of that.

2. "She was asking for it"

Another common one. Similar to the first one, yet a little different. She was "asking for it" because she was outside on her own. *Or* because she was dressed revealing. Or both, apparently.

Bullshit as well.

3. The importance of language and how we phrase things. (This one is also very common).

Shifting the blame based on how something is phrased. Example: "she was assaulted because..." No, a man assaulted her.

"She was killed by her husband" no, her husband murdered her.

Small details like that seem insignificant but they matter when speaking about those topics. Because they're indirectly shifting the focus to the victim.

Stop using passive language when talking about these things.

4. "What if she's lying?"

Common, not surprising, still worth to mention. Usually coming from males, but I did read it from women too.

When a woman talks about her negative experiences, mostly men love to jump to "but what if she's lying? His reputation will be ruined".

I don't know about y'all, but I'd much rather believe a false accusation than side with a rapist.

I could go on forever but y'all get my point.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

Disclaimer: I am not attacking anyone personally here, this is just my opinion.

I've seen a lot of people using child avis. Not small scalers, literal child avis. Tiny avis with kids clothes and a childlike face. This itself is a *bit* weird in my opinion. However what I think is WORSE is people.. *literal adults* ROLEPLAYING as toddlers. And yes I've actually witnessed that.

I don't know what y'all think about that stuff but I think it's sketchy and very much suspicious. Adult people shouldn't roleplay as toddlers or act like toddlers.

Again. Not attacking anyone here just sharing my opinion on the topic since I've seen it more frequently.

Each to their own ofc but this just rubs me the wrong way.

That's all. :3

Addition: I understand some people might do it for "innocent" reasons, but I've seen quite the opposite and regardless, I just find it sketchy.

Ich KANN es nicht mehr ab. Ständig und überall gibt es Leute die meinen, zu allem einen Kommentar ablassen zu müssen. VÖLLIG UNGEFRAGT, WOHLGEMERKT. Es kann doch nicht so schwer sein, einfach mal die die Schnauze zu halten?

Das hat auch mit freier Meinungsäußerung nichts zu tun. Natürlich DARF man seine Meinung äußern, heißt aber nicht, dass man es zu jeder Situation auch zwingend muss. Und in vielen Situationen juckt es halt auch niemanden.

Man muss doch nicht ständig seinen Senf dazu geben..oder?

Kann man seine tiefgründigen Gedanken nicht einfach mal für sich behalten, und vor allem nicht fremde Menschen damit nerven?

Wenn ich selbst zu jemanden hingehe und explizit nach einer Meinung frage, ist das was völlig anderes. Aber wenn niemand danach gefragt hat, kann man einfach mal still sein.

Das musste jetzt mal raus. Sei es im Internet oder im echten Leben. Es. Passiert. Ständig. Und es kotzt mich an.

Danke fürs zuhören.
