Usually it's accompanied with "You're just a confused Tomboy who needs to be [insert rape and harassment here] for you to realize you aren't a man and never will be one. You are just [insert more rape and misogyny here.]."
Basically, if you are AFAB, you'll get rape threats, SA threats, etc etc etc. IT NEVER FUCKING ENDS EVEN AFTER TRANSITIONING!
Cis women, TransMascs, TransMen, Enby, Etc. We can never catch a break from the rape threats of Cis Men. No matter our age, looks, etc.
Actually, it seems that ANY sort of person who isn't "normal" in their eyes gets rape threats. I had a buddy in college (CisHet Gender Conforming man). He was the nicest guy ever. He had never had any romantic or sexual relationship before (he was waiting for the right person and he had trauma from his parents). His ex-friend decided to send him a shit ton of rape threats (and even SA him irl) because "You must be a f@g since you've never had a girlfriend!". So literally anyone who isn't a "normal man" in their eyes gets harassed. It's fucking infuriating! Why can't people just live their lives in peace?
trigger warning: this video contains **harassment, intimidation and filming without consent** toward girls.
Please pay attention to the alleged violence and harassment against female fans at Chongqing Changjiang International. Those men organized a gathering and planned attacks on female fans of male idols at a well-known gathering spot for fans. Women, including **minors**, have faced **physical assault, cigarette burns, verbal abuse, sexual humiliation, and other forms of harassment** simply for being fans. As of now, no penalties have been announced for the violence. We stand with Chinese women and speak out against gender-based violence.
I often wonder why, in some economically disadvantaged families in India, people continue having children even after a doctor has warned them that there is a significant risk of passing on a serious genetic condition.
This isn't about blaming people for being poor or suggesting that disabled people shouldn't be born. Every person, regardless of disability or economic status, deserves dignity and a life free from discrimination.
What concerns me is what happens when a family knowingly keeps having children despite medical advice without having the resources to provide adequate care for the children they already have.
And there is often a gendered dimension to this. In many families, the woman is expected to keep getting pregnant until they have the "right" number of sons or until a healthy child is born. Her body becomes the mechanism through which the family keeps trying again and again.
Where is her choice in all of this?
People talk about reproductive rights primarily in terms of a woman's right not to have children. But reproductive autonomy also means having access to contraception, genetic counselling, accurate medical information, and the genuine ability to decide whether and when to have another child.
At the same time, we need to be careful about the language we use. Saying "these people shouldn't have children" easily slips into classism or eugenics. The better question is:
Why are women being denied the education, healthcare, contraception, counselling, and autonomy necessary to make informed reproductive decisions?
If a doctor advises a couple about a serious hereditary risk, they should have access to counselling and reproductive choices—not social pressure to keep "trying" until they get the outcome their family wants.
Reproductive freedom means the freedom to choose, not the expectation to reproduce indefinitely.
I’m a high schooler and summer is coming to an end. The male homosapiens most creative insult in the past million years has been “you’re fat” if you are a woman that isn’t skin and bones. I don’t pay mind to these lesser ants insults as they are meaningless and lack any originality however it would be nice to know some good comebacks.
“TikToker “TaylorsDiary” recounted her experience at a doctor's office where she questioned the consultant about why he was wearing Meta glasses capable of filming video and recording audio while with a patient who was expected to undress.”
when will these pervert glasses be banned? (also I’m pretty sure this is illegal in the state of California)
Manosphere figures like Andrew Tate, Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson aren’t just telling men how to treat their girlfriends or train for MMA fights; they’re also blasting their listeners with climate denial talking points. Which isn’t a coincidence. The fossil fuel industry has known since at least the 1990s that certain types of men are more susceptible to climate disinformation than other segments of the public. We take a look at how climate denial has seeped into the manosphere, how those messages are shaping men’s views of the climate crisis, and how the results are playing out at the ballot box.
This is just fucking depressing. I have nothing to say besides even if you are a virgin, god forbid you get into a relationship and it doesn’t work out, you’re now worthless. So why even bother? Those people see sex and especially giving oral to men as degrading but it’s okay as long as it’s only for them, comparable to a sex toy.
this could backfire on me just as easily as it backfired on OOP, but seeing as how the original post had 242 comments in 18 minutes all pointing out the same things ("why would you touch that?" "why would you SMELL that?" "why couldn't it be your aunt's?" "who cares if they have a sex toy?") i feel like i'm not alone in thinking it's insanely shitty to try to humiliate your family members to a bunch of strangers.
the comment is from me, but i blurred my username just in case!
on a post where the OP was explaining how she was having sex with her bf and said “do whatever you want” and he attempted anal, despite her repeatedly telling him throughout their relationship that she does not like and never wants anal. my comment got downvoted to hell and back. i seriously thought i was correct and that what i was saying is commonsense. however im open to being wrong so please correct me if i am lol. i cant tell if my definition is wrong or if this is just people at large misunderstanding what rape/consent is…?
i’m genuinely asking so please don’t be too harsh lol i am definitely open to correction. i’m attaching screenshots of the post’s content and my comment. would love insight here, thanks all.
edit: sorry i can’t edit the title, it was meant to say “is my definition wrong here” as in is my definition/understanding of consent wrong?
Everything is censored. But man the comments make me feel actually fucking SICK..
Edit: Cannot believe I have to fucking say this. DEFENDING PREGNANT BEING CALLED FUCKING GROSS BECAUSE THEY ARE PREGNANT IS NOT ME BEING A FUCKING TERF. NOT EVERYTHING RELATED TO CIS WOMEN IS TERF IDEOLOGY. SAYING THAT SHIT IS MISOGYNISTIC ASF. I AM NOT SAYING TRANS WOMEN ARE NOT WOMEN HOLY SHIT. LIKE FUCK OFF WITH THAT. UGH.
Edit 2: OOP is normal, they're the good person in this. I'm just trying to show that the Oop is the most normal person in the room. And that they didn't generate the hateful comments by being hateful themselves.
It's fucking stupid. Taking a cute and funny post and deciding to be a dick.
As a man whose 11th anniversary is today, these jokes piss me off. If you don't like your marriage so much, then get a damn divorce. Edit: or just don't get married????
The first two comments are okay, it's the third one that's annoying as fuck
Just a few details. When I say the 3 major religions. That will refer to Islam, Christianity and Hinduism. The last of which due to its massive population size.
I had gained the opportunity to study some marriage certificates from the early 2000s which involved a father selling his daughter to a grown man for 10,000 pounds.
This was happening IN AMERICA.
The contract involved "God's law" and it basically said the husband to be would provide 1 gold pound as an initial payment. When the girl reaches "legal maturity" 10,000 pounds would be paid.
Legal maturity is a euphemism for "child-bearing age"
The groom and the father signed the document, with the father being the "owner" of the daughter, making the groom the "trustee" and the girl in question didn't have a choice or even a signature. It was all made for her without her knowledge or consent.
There are countless countries where this practiced, and these countries are on the United Nations Human Rights Council.
Treating women as property of men has been a core tenet of the 3 major religions...and it has been a means of establishing control for the Patriarchy.
When these countries say that "the west corrupts women"
What they mean is that when these families move to Europe or America and raise their daughters there...the girls realize that there are women around them able to make their own life choices...able to be free. And of course those girls want the freedom.
They don't want to be slaves to men.
It should be noted that educated women are prized in arranged marriages because the father then can demand a higher price for selling his daughter off.
And what happens when these daughters don't want to be married to their cousin or some old man?
The family's "investment" is threatened.
If they cannot kidnap her or smuggle her to the country where her freedom will be taken from her?
Well....now you understand a bit of why so many religious families engage in the act of "honor killing"
If they cannot treat their daughter as property, they no longer see a reason to allow her to live.
Its horrific. Its barbaric. It is done on the regular.
And other families threaten their daughter with said fate using the names of the murdered girls in order to force them to be property.
But as the saying goes.. "Give me liberty or give me death"
And religion makes it glorified.
Because religion is built on the restriction of human rights.
It is built on suppression of women and treating them as property.
It is built on slavery.
Religion dies when feminism thrives.
It is why so many religious political groups try to portray feminism as evil .
I've read manga and watched anime for quite a long time, and I've noticed a recurring pattern: female characters are often sexualized, objectified, stripped of agency, or treated primarily as accessories to male characters.
I'm not saying manga or anime shouldn't contain sexual characters or problematic women. Fiction doesn't have to make every character admirable. What bothers me is the disproportionate way female characters are often treated, particularly when compared with male characters in the same story.
Sometimes, even serious or otherwise well-written stories seem to rely on fanservice, unnecessary sexualization, humiliation, or female characters existing mainly to support the male protagonist's development.
I'm curious whether other manga/anime fans have noticed this, too, and what you think the reasons are. Is it related to target demographics, industry practices, cultural attitudes, genre conventions, or something else?
And if you disagree, I'd genuinely like to hear your perspective.
Is this misogyny?
