Hi! We’re introducing Important Blue Internet Checkmarks here on Tumblr. They’re a steal at $7.99—that’s cheaper than some other places, when you consider that you get not one but TWO checkmarks for your blog on web only (for now). Why, you ask? Why not? Nothing matters! ¯_(ツ)_/¯
thinking back to the gamestop ma’am incident and how the trans community was more worried about how that video made trans people look than about how the transwomans reaction to a retail workers accidental misgendering was extreme and quickly devolved into being destructive and aggressive behavior that made the store unsafe for everyone in it.
if i was a shitty abusive man, i would throw a cheap wig and a badly fitting dress on SO fast i’d get friction burns. “you mean i’d get an instant harem of gullible females justifying literally anything i do?? well in that case i’ve… *sniff* always known there was something very special about me. 🥺”
This is why I hate the like, casual ha ha aren’t men awful jokes that people like to casually throw around.
Like, men are victims of the patriarchy too, and loneliness and isolation is what brings out the worst in people.
I’m not saying you have to be nice to or defend wretched men, but don’t treat them as wretched just because they are men. Treat them as wretched because they are wretched.
A departure from rigid, binary gender norms benefits all of us.
